Introduction to the SENSOR 217E Series The SENSOR 217E series of independent or interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms, in conjunction with the SENSOR hub Due to the advanced battery technology and low power consumption, each of the 217E series alarms can be used to satisfy either the 230 V or 10-year lithium requirement - depending on the applicable installation legislation or other local or state requirements.
• RF disconnect warning – should an alarm become disconnected from the network a notification will be sent via the portal. • 230 V power outage – if power is lost to the alarm or hub a notification will be sent via the portal. Disclaimers All electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with local regulations and Australian Standards.
Where Not to Install Your SENSOR Alarm(s) (Models 217E-02 BED BED & 217E-03) DINING ROOM KITCHEN ROOM ROOM Nuisance alarms occur when alarms are installed where they will not work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install alarms in the following situations: • In or near areas where combustion particles are present, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there may be vehicle exhaust, LIVING ROOM near furnaces, combustion heaters, and space heaters.
MINIMU Fig. 3 – Dead-air areas BEDROOM • ADDIT In damp or very humid areas, or within 3 m of bathrooms with showers. Humid air contains moisture that can enter the sensing chamber, then condense into droplets upon cooling, which can cause nuisance alarms. • In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor rooms. If the temperature rises above or falls below the operating range of alarm, the alarm may not function properly. The temperature range for your alarm is (0 ~ 55) °C.
• In insect-infested areas. Insects entering the smoke sensing chamber may cause a nuisance alarm. Where pests are a concern, ensure pest extermination measures are undertaken prior to installing the alarm. • Near fluorescent lights. Electrical noise from fluorescent lights may cause nuisance alarms. Do not install alarms within 1.5 m of such lights.
Manufacturer Recommendations for the Care and Maintenance of your SENSOR Smoke Alarms To ensure the optimal performance of your SENSOR smoke alarms, please familiarise yourself with the following care and maintenance instructions. Cleaning your SENSOR Smoke Alarm • • Cobwebs on or near the alarm can cause nuisance false positive alarm sounds. Ensure your alarm is always free from cobwebs by regularly vacuuming the smoke vent on the face of the alarm.
The Dos and Don’ts of your SENSOR Smoke Alarm Dos: • • • • If a smoke alarm sounds, immediately alert all household members, exit the property, and call emergency services. Be prepared – make an escape plan from your home in case of fire. Ensure everyone in your home understands the plan. Discuss and review the escape plan regularly. Make sure your alarm remains closed and in good operational order. Immediately arrange for a service or repair if an alarm ceases to work.

Quick Start Guide for the SENSOR Hub (217E-C001) (Also available at www.sensorglobal.com/installguide) Before installation of any SENSOR Hubs or alarms ensure you have downloaded and installed the SENSOR App on your mobile device. The SENSOR app is available for Apple (iOS) and Android devices. Please visit www.sensorglobal.com/app to find the right app for your device. Hub Pairing Process Step 1.
Step 6. The blue light on the far right of the Hub should still be flashing. After approximately three to five minutes after scanning the QR code, the light will turn solid blue. Step 7. Wait a further 30 seconds for the app to show a green “Connected” against the Hub. If the app does not automatically refresh after 30 seconds, tap the “Refresh” button. The Hub must display as “Connected” on the app before proceeding.
Step 11. Open the alarm and scan the QR code on the inside of the alarm using the app. The alarm will beep to indicate that it has been successfully paired. The API will send the “Add” command to the Hub, which will then link the alarm to the Hub. This process takes approximately ten seconds. Step 12. Repeat the above steps 8 to 11 to set up additional alarm(s) as required. Now Install the Hub on the wall and Alarms on the ceiling. Installation of HUB Step 13.
that the lead is fed through the hole in the mounting plate as shown in Fig 2 and Fig 3, Step 17. Plug the power lead into the SENSOR hub. Locate the black power switch on the rear of the Hub and push it up to the On position. Note that the Hub has been designed in such a way that, after the initial setup and installation, the power switch will automatically return to the On position when the Hub is attached to the mounting plate. Step 18. Return the power to the electrical circuit if safe to do so.
FIG3. FIG4. After all steps above are connected, it is time to setup and install the SENSOR alarms (217E-02 & 217E-03), FCC Warning This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any inte rference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Installation of the SENSOR Alarms All SENSOR Alarms in the 217E series can be used to satisfy the 230 V or 10-year lithium requirement - depending on the applicable installation legislation or other local or state requirements. At this point you must determine whether the alarm will operate on 230 V power or a 10-year lithium battery. Consult all relevant legislation before deciding on the correct course. For a 240 V installation, see steps 20-27.
Step 23. Place the alarm in the open position by gently opening the plastic terminal cover. With the alarm in the open position mark the ceiling and install the plugs provided. Step 24. Connect the power to the three terminals on the reverse side of the mounting plate as shown in Fig 5. Once the terminals are adequately tightened, gently close the plastic terminal cover until it clicks as shown in Fig 6. NOTE: The middle terminal is for an earth and not for a wired interconnect. FIG5. FIG6. Step 25.
THIS ALARM IS A HINGED DESIGN AND THE ALARM CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE BASE PLATE FOR INSTALLATION. TAKE CARE WHEN INSTALLING TO ENSURE THAT EXSESSIVE PRESSURE IS NOT APPLIED TO THE ALARM WHILE IN THE OPEN POSITION. Step 28. Identify the installation or replacement location. Step 29. Ensure that the location selected is compliant to local rules. Step 30. Place the alarm in the open position by gently opening the plastic terminal cover. Mark the ceiling in the identified installation position.
Testing Alarms (AFTER ALL PRODUCTS INSTALLED) After installation of the SENSOR Hub and SENSOR Alarms is complete, and the Alarms have been connected to the SENSOR network via the SENSOR app, it is time to test the alarms. Step 33. Use the “Full Test” button in the App to test the full connection of all alarms to the SENSOR hub. After pressing the test button, it’s a great time to start packing up as the testing cycle can take up to five minutes to complete.
Step 35. Add locational photos of the installed hub and alarms in the app. Step 36. Use the “Complete Job” button on the app to mark the job as complete.
