SF812
SMOKE DETECTOR
The photoelectric Smoke Detector is a Z-Wave
TM
enabled device which is fully
compatible with any Z-Wave
TM
enabled network. Z-Wave
TM
enabled devices
displaying the Z-Wave
TM
logo can also be used with it regardless of the
manufacturer, and ours can also be used in other manufacturer’s Z-Wave
TM
enabled networks. Inclusion of this detector on other manufacturer’s Wireless
Controller menu allows remote operation of connected modules when the
detector is triggered. Z-Wave node in the system also acts as a repeater, so as
to re-transmit the RF signal to ensure that the signal is received by its intended
destination by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.
The detector is designed to sense smoke that comes into the detector chamber.
It does not sense gas, heat, or flame. The working principle is when the smoke
detector detects a certain density of smoke, the horn of smoke detector will
sound and in the meantime, the detector will emit the signals to the associated
devices for further execution. It can provide precious time for you and your
family to escape before a fire spreads.

Include to or Exclude from a Z-Wave
TM
Network
Inside the detector, there is a link key which is used to carry out the function of
inclusion, exclusion, association and reset. When first power is applied, its LED
flashes on and off alternately and repeatedly for 4 minutes, which implies that it
has not been assigned a node ID and cannot work with Z-Wave enabled devices.
Please get familiar with the terms below before starting the operations.
Function
Description
Inclusion
Add a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. Smoke Detector) to Z-Wave
network.
Exclusion
Delete a Z-Wave enabled device (e.g. Smoke Detector) from the
network.
Association
After inclusion, you have to define the relationship between devices.
Trough association, device can be assigned as master/slave, and
specify which slave is going to be controlled by which master.
Reset
Restore Smoke Detector to factory default.
The table below lists an operation summary of basic Z-Wave functions. Please
refer to the instructions for your Z-Wave
TM
Certificated Primary Controller to
access the setup function, and to include/exclude/associate devices.
