Why does my x-sense Smoke Alarm beep every 60 seconds?
If the red LED flashes and the x-sense Smoke Alarm beeps once every 60 seconds, it means the battery is low and needs to be replaced immediately.
What to do if my x-sense XS01-W keeps going off for no reason?
If your x-sense Smoke Alarm triggers false alarms intermittently, especially when cooking or showering, check its location to ensure proper placement. You may also need to clean the smoke alarm as part of its maintenance.
What does it mean when my x-sense Smoke Alarm beeps twice every 40 seconds?
If the red LED flashes and the x-sense Smoke Alarm sounds two beeps every 40 seconds, it indicates the detector is malfunctioning. Clean the smoke detector, or replace it immediately.
How to fix x-sense Smoke Alarm that won't sound when tested?
If your x-sense Smoke Alarm doesn't sound during testing, ensure it's properly attached to the mounting bracket and that you firmly push the central test button. Also, verify the installation positioning, as the wireless signal might be blocked or out of range.

The X-SENSE XS01-W is a wireless photoelectric smoke alarm designed for residential use. It functions as a standalone smoke detector and can also be interconnected wirelessly with other compatible X-SENSE smoke alarms to create an interlinked network. When one unit in the network is triggered, all interconnected units will sound an alarm, providing comprehensive coverage throughout a home.
The primary function of the XS01-W is to detect smoke and alert occupants to potential fires through an audible alarm and visual LED indicators. It utilizes a photoelectric sensor, which is effective at detecting slow-smoldering fires. The alarm is powered by a 10-year sealed lithium battery, ensuring long-term operation without battery replacement.
All XS01-W units come with an inbuilt RF module, enabling wireless interconnection. Units in a multi-pack are pre-interconnected. To interconnect additional alarms, users need to activate all units, then press and hold the test/silence button on one alarm for 3 seconds until its red LED flashes slowly. Pressing the button again for 3 seconds will make the LED flash rapidly, indicating it's sending an RF signal. For other alarms to join the network, their test/silence buttons must also be held for 3 seconds until their red LEDs flash slowly. Successful interconnection is confirmed by a single beep and automatic exit from interconnecting mode. A maximum of 24 wireless smoke alarms can be interconnected, but only with other X-SENSE wireless smoke alarms. To disconnect an alarm, hold the test/silence button for 3 seconds, then continuously press it twice; the alarm will sound once and disconnect.
The alarm must be properly attached to its mounting bracket before testing. For a single alarm, pressing the test/silence button will cause it to sound 3 short quick beeps, and the red LED will flash once per second. For interconnected alarms, pressing the test/silence button twice on any interconnected alarm will initiate a test of the entire network. The initiating alarm will give 1 short quick beep with its red LED flashing rapidly (once every 0.25 seconds), while other interconnected alarms will sound 3 short quick beeps with their red LEDs flashing once per second. The initiating alarm's red LED will flash rapidly while sending the signal and stop when all other alarms have received it. The test function checks the smoke sensing circuit without requiring actual smoke.
During an alarm state, pressing the silence button will put the unit into silence mode for 9 minutes. In this mode, the red LED will flash once every 5 seconds. The alarm will return to normal mode after 9 minutes. When interconnected, pressing the silence button on the initiating smoke alarm will mute all other interconnected alarms. However, the initiating smoke alarm itself cannot be silenced by pressing the silence button of any other interconnected alarm. During the 9-minute silence duration, the initiating smoke alarm cannot be re-triggered, but other interconnected alarms can still trigger if they detect dangerous smoke levels.
Users are warned never to ignore any alarm, as failure to respond can lead to serious injury or death. The silence feature is for convenience and does not correct a problem; users should always check their home for potential issues after an alarm. The alarm should be tested weekly, and if it fails to test correctly, it must be replaced immediately. This device does not detect flames, heat, carbon monoxide, or other hazardous gases. It is not intended for hearing-impaired individuals, and the use of alcohol or drugs may impair one's ability to hear the alarm. Fires in chimneys, walls, roofs, different levels, or behind closed doors might not be detected.
Installation should prioritize bedrooms and walkways, ensuring the alarm is audible from all sleeping areas. In homes with multiple bedrooms, an alarm should be installed in each. If only one alarm is installed, it should be near all bedrooms, not in a basement or furnace room. Alarms should be installed above stairways and on every floor. Smoke and heat spread horizontally after rising, so alarms should be placed in the middle of the ceiling where possible, at a minimum distance from corners. If not in the middle of the ceiling, install it at least 20 inches (50 cm) from corners. Wall-mounted alarms should be 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) below the ceiling. For rooms or halls longer than 30 feet (900 cm), multiple alarms are recommended. When walls or ceilings are angled, the alarm should be at least 3 feet (90 cm) from the highest point. In multi-level homes, at least one wireless smoke alarm should be installed on each level, in a straight line with minimal obstacles between interconnected alarms for optimal signal transmission. Kitchens should be covered by smoke alarms with a silence mode.
Avoid installing near large metal surfaces, bundles of wire, fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment, or other devices that transmit RF signals, as electronic "noise" can cause nuisance alarms. The alarm should be installed by a competent person and is not a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
To ensure proper functioning, the smoke alarm should be maintained regularly:
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Users are encouraged to recycle where facilities exist and should check with their local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
