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.
Each alarm connects to the SENSOR hub independently of each other with a
range of up to 200m line of sight.
Both the 217E-02 and the 217E-03 utilise a sealed lithium battery for both the
operation of the alarm and the RF interconnect to the hub, ensuring no battery
replacements are required over the life of the alarm.
The alarms are fitted with two test functions:
1. The test button on the face of the alarm can be used to test the alarm if
required.
2. The alarm is also fitted with a software-based test which can be
scheduled for a particular date and time or performed in real time via
the portal.
The alarms are also fitted with several additional functions to ensure safety and
compliance, including:
• Early low battery detection – designed to pre-empt a low battery alarm so it
can be replaced prior to low battery beeping.
• Tamper detection – to ensure the alarms are always closed and operating
correctly.
