Wiring Diagram
∫ This Voltex Smoke Alarm is designed for use in dwellings and
shall be installed by a licensed electrician. It is intended to
detect smoke before it reaches the occupants of a building.
The ensuing alarm is designed to wake the occupants and
give them time to evacuate the building.
∫ This smoke alarm SHALL be installed in accordance with
national and local council building regulations and the latest
edition of the Australian and New Zealand wiring Rules AS/
NZS 3000. A simplified, by State, installation requirements
guide is available on Voltex’s website.
∫ ALL ELECTRICAL WORK MUST BE CARRIED BY A LISCENSED
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR OR ELECTRICIAN.
Recommended Installation Locations
∫ At least one smoke alarm shall be fitted on each storey
(including basements) - in each bedroom and in corridors
or hallways which connect bedrooms and the rest of the
dwelling or as required by relevant local legislation.
∫ Where practicable smoke alarms should be placed on the
ceiling.
∫ It is important to install the smoke alarm in the centre of the
room, avoiding dead air spaces (an area in which trapped
hot air will prevent smoke from reaching the alarm). Smoke
alarms must not be placed within:
∫ Smoke alarms must be paired (interconnected) with every
other smoke alarm so they all activate together.
∫ 300mm of a corner of a ceiling and a wall
∫ 300mm of a light fitting
∫ 400mm of an air-conditioning vent
∫ 400mm of the blades of a ceiling fan
Where it is not possible to place the alarm on the ceiling, the
smoke alarm may be installed on the wall at a minimum of
300mm and a maximum of 500mm off the ceiling at the junction
of the wall.
There are special requirements for stairways, sloping ceilings
and ceilings with exposed beams. Specific requirements are
explained in the relevant Building Regulation.
To reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms, it is preferable
that smoke alarms are not located near cooking appliances,
bathrooms or laundries
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT INTERCONNECTION WIRE TO ACTIVE,
NEUTRAL OR EARTH
NOTE: ONLY VOLTEX SMOKE ALAMRS CAN BE INTERCONNECTED
TO EACH OTHER
If more than one smoke alarm is installed all units shall be
interconnected or paired.
Interconnection can be achieved either by wiring the I-Connect
terminals of the alarms together or pairing using the optional
wireless module (not included).
The smoke alarm can be paired with Voltex Battery Smoke
Alarm type SAS115BW when fitted with a Wireless Module (not
included), Voltex Part number SASWM. See SASWM instructions
for pairing procedure.
The smoke alarm should not use both wireless and hardwired
interconnections. The interconnection will not function
if both are used at the same time.
NOTE:
1. Interconnection wire shall be no less than 1.5mm2 and shall
be SDI cable
2. Smoke alarms which are interconnected using hard wiring
must be on the same circuit.
1. Select an appropriate location and facilitate necessary
wiring.
2. Isolate the power supply and wire the appropriate power
terminals on the back of the smoke alarm.
3. Wire the interconnecting cable or insert the Voltex Wireless
Module (Part number SASWM) into the smoke alarm.
4. Mount the smoke alarm in the ceiling with the supplied
fixings and clip the smoke alarm shut.
5. Apply power to the smoke alarm unit. A green LED indicates
power is available.
6. Remove the battery isolation strip to connect battery.
7. Test the smoke alarm by pressing and holding the test
button. If installed correctly and unit is functioning properly,
an alarm should sound. If multiple alarms are installed, test
the interconnection on all alarms.
Terminal cover is supplied temperately in accessory bag,
make sure the terminal cover is installed after wiring.
