The Pyronix Two-Way Wireless Smoke Detector (Model: SMOKE-WE2) is designed to detect smoke and provide early warning of a fire. It integrates seamlessly into Pyronix alarm systems, offering reliable detection with wireless communication. Here’s an in-depth look at its installation, placement, compatibility, and functionality:

1. Installation Steps

A. Preparation

1. Choose an Optimal Location:

   • Install in areas where smoke is likely to accumulate during a fire, such as:
     • Hallways.
     • Living rooms.
     • Bedrooms.
   • Avoid areas prone to false alarms, like kitchens, bathrooms, or garages, unless they are specifically designed for those environments.

2. Mount the Detector:

   • Use the provided screws to secure the detector base to the ceiling or high on a wall (minimum of 10–15 cm from the ceiling for wall mounts).
   • Ensure it is within the wireless range of the Pyronix alarm panel or expander.

3. Power and Enrollment:

   • Insert the included batteries or confirm they are correctly installed.
   • Enroll the smoke detector in the Pyronix alarm system:
     • Access the programming menu on the Pyronix panel.
     • Use the "Learn Device" function and activate the detector (usually via a test button or removing and replacing the battery) to pair it.

4. Testing:

   • Use the built-in test button to verify the device communicates with the alarm panel.

2. Placement Guidelines

To ensure effective smoke detection:

• Ceilings: Place the detector in the center of the ceiling for the best coverage.
• Avoid:
  • Drafty areas near vents, fans, or air conditioning units.
  • Dead air spaces (e.g., where walls meet ceilings).
• Multi-Level Homes: Install a detector on each level, particularly near bedrooms and stairways.
• Large Rooms: For large spaces, multiple detectors may be needed to cover the area adequately.

3. Compatibility with Pyronix Alarms

The SMOKE-WE2 is compatible with:

• Pyronix Enforcer Control Panel: Fully supported for two-way communication and alarm integration.
• Wireless Expanders: Works seamlessly with Pyronix hybrid or wired systems equipped with wireless expanders.
• Pyronix Cloud and ProControl+ App Integration: When connected to a supported system, alarms from the SMOKE-WE2 can trigger smartphone notifications via the app.

4. How It Works

• The SMOKE-WE2 uses an optical smoke sensor to detect smoke particles from fires.
• Two-Way Wireless Communication: Ensures reliable signal transmission to the alarm panel and confirmation of successful communication.
• When smoke is detected:
  • It triggers an audible alarm from its built-in sounder.
  • Sends an alarm signal to the Pyronix control panel.
  • The control panel can activate external sounders, send alerts to the ProControl+ app, or notify a monitoring service.

Features:

• Built-in Sounder: Emits a loud alarm to alert occupants locally.
• Tamper Detection: Sends alerts if the detector is removed or tampered with.
• Battery Monitoring: Notifies the panel when the battery is low, ensuring uninterrupted functionality.
• Test Button: Allows users to test the detector manually to ensure it is operational.

Maintenance Tips

1. Regular Testing: Use the test button monthly to ensure the detector works correctly.
2. Clean Regularly: Wipe the detector gently with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup, which could impair performance.
3. Battery Replacement: Replace the batteries as needed (typically every 1-2 years).
4. Replace Detector: Optical smoke sensors degrade over time. Replace the SMOKE-WE2 as recommended by Pyronix (usually every 10 years).

Additional Notes

• This detector is not suitable for high-dust or high-moisture environments. Use specialized detectors (e.g., heat detectors) for such locations.
• Combining the SMOKE-WE2 with heat detectors (e.g., HEAT-WE) can provide comprehensive fire detection in varied environments.
