Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector (SDCO-3-RhTHM-ZW-SC-AC-OTA) Introduction

SDCO-3-RhTHM-ZW-SC-AC-OTA is a Z-Wave Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector with built-in PIR Sensor, temperature, humidity, and heat detection, as well as voice prompts and allows access to the “S2 Unauthenticated” class and supports both of Z-Wave SmartStart Inclusion and classic Inclusion. It is capable of sending wireless signals to the Z-Wave gateway/control panel upon detection of smoke particles or Carbon Monoxide. The device is also serially connected with other sensors in the Z-Wave gateway to serve as an extra siren. When any other sensor in the Z-Wave network is activated and sends an alarm signal, the Smoke Detector will also raise alarm with its built-in buzzer as a siren to help sound warning (for serial connection models).

The SDCO-3 is designed to be mounted on ceiling or top of stairwells when smoke would concentrate to raise alarm timely and protect your home from fire hazards.

The SDCO Detector is a Z-Wave enabled device and is fully compatible with any Z-Wave enabled network. Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol that uses a low-power RF radio.

• Fire Verification

  • Fire verification can be used to set up verification timer using Z-Wave’s Configuration Command for the SDCO Detector. When fire verification timer is set, the SDCO Detector will begin to count down fire verification timer when the device is triggered. Up to 150 seconds can be set (Default: 0 second). Please refer to page 10 “Configurations” section for details.

  • If fire verification function is enabled, the Red LED will flash quickly for 3 times every 8 seconds if smoke is detected during this period. After fire verification timer expires, the SDCO Detector will activate fire alarm if smoke concentration exceeds the detection threshold.

• Alarm Detection

The SDCO Detector will activate fire alarm when either of its smoke detection or high heat detection function is triggered. When an alarm is activated, the SDCO Detector will transmit alarm signal and raise alarm with its built in buzzer, the Red LED will flash rapidly.

Smoke Detection:

• The SDCO Detector checks smoke concentration every 8 seconds

4

• Whenever the smoke concentration exceeds the detection threshold, SDCO Detector will send active signal to the Control Panel, and activate the alarm.

• If the smoke concentration persists, the SDCO Detector will continue to send the active signal every minute to the Control Panel.

• If no smoke is detected for 20 continuous detection times, the SDCO Detector will transmit a restore signal.

Heat Detection:

• The SDCO Detector checks temperature every 10 seconds.

• The alarm will be activated in the following conditions:

  • When the temperature rises by 8.25°C per minute (Rate of Rise).

  • When the temperature exceeds 57.25°C (High Heat).

• If no high heat is detected for 16 continuous detection times, the SDCO Detector will transmit a restore signal.

• If the alarm was triggered by High Heat condition (57.25°C), the temperature must drop below 49°C for detector to stop alarming.

Carbon Monoxide Detection:

 The CO sensor will check the CO concentration level every 16 seconds, if the concentration level exceeds the detection threshold, the SDCO Detector will transmit alarm signal and raise alarm with its built in buzzer.

 The CO sensor features self-diagnosis function and will regularly check the health or status of the sensor every 12 hours.

 The alarm will be activated after CO concentration is detected according to time length in the following table: (compliant with EN-50291 standard)

CO concentration level	Time taken before alarming
30 +/- 10% ppm	N/A
50 +/- 10% ppm	60~90 minutes
100 +/- 10% ppm	10~40 minutes
300 +/- 10% ppm	Under 3 minutes

 The alarm will be activated after CO concentration is detected according to time length in the following table: (compliant with UL-2034 standard)

CO concentration level	Time taken before alarming
30	+/- 3% ppm	N/A
70	+/- 5% ppm	N/A
70	+/- 5% ppm	60~240 minutes
150 +/- 5% ppm	10~50 minutes
400	+/- 10% ppm	4~15 minutes

 Once the CO concentration level exceeds the threshold and persists for the time length as listed in the above table, the SDCO Detector will transmit the signal to Z-Wave coordinator and raise alarm with its built-in siren.

 If CO drops below 30ppm for 10 continuous detection times, the SDCO will transmit a restore signal.

Temperature and Humidity Detection:

The Temperature and Humidity Sensor will transmit temperature and humidity signals regularly according to setting. The factory default interval is 30 to 33 minutes.

• • The SDCO Detector will send temperature signal when temperature changes by +/- 2°C.

  • You can also press the button once to transmit a temperature signal manually.

• IR Detection

  • The SDCO Detector will transmit signal to the Control Panel if any movement is picked up within the IR detection coverage. The buzzer will not sound and the LED will not flash. Please refer to your Control Panel for details.

  • In 60 seconds, if there is no further motion detection or alerts, the IR will be restored and return to normal operation.

• Testing the SDCO Detector

By pressing the button on the SDCO Detector, you can test if the SDCO Detector is functioning normally.

• • If the SDCO Detector functions normally, the Red LED will flash once followed by a 2-tone beep.

  • If three 2-tone beeps (DO-DI DO-DI DO-DI) are emitted, it means the Smoke Sensor is out-of-order.

  • If 5 beeps (DO-Bi-Bi-Bi-DO) are emitted, it means the Heat Sensor is out-of-order.

  • If 7 beeps (Bi-Bi-Bi-DO-Bi-Bi-Bi) are emitted, it means the CO Sensor is out-of-order.

• Alarm Silence

  • There are two ways to manually put the SDCO into Alarm Silence mode: pressing the button or sending Scene/Siren Control or Siren On/ Off Control command. By either method, the SDCO will enter Alarm Silence mode. After the period, a restore signal will be sent. Please refer to page 8 “Smoke Emergency/Smoke Emergency Cleared, Heat Emergency Cleared, and CO Emergency/ CO Emergency Cleared” section for details.

Pressing the Button:

• When the Smoke Detector is alarming, pressing the button will put the Smoke Detector into Alarm Silence mode to silence the alarm.

Sending Scene/Siren Control or Siren On/Off Control command:

• Scene/Siren Control command allows you to program different alarm types with location indication. Please note this command CANNOT be used to stop the siren and voice prompts of a real alarm.

• To turn off the siren and voice prompts by using this command, set Basic Set: 0x00. The SDCO Detector will then enter Alarm Silence mode.

• Siren On/Off Control command allows you to control the siren of a smoke alarm. Please note this command CANNOT be used to stop the siren and voice prompts of a real alarm.

• To turn off the siren by using this command, set Basic Set: 0x00. The SDCO Detector will then enter Alarm Silence mode.

• During the Alarm Silence period, the Red LED will flash once per second. The Smoke Detector will continue to monitor smoke concentration during the alarm silence period:

  1. After the Alarm Silence period has expired, if the smoke concentration has dropped below alarm threshold, the Smoke Detector will emit a 2-tone beep and return to normal operation without sounding alarm.

5

• 1. If smoke concentration still exceeds alarm threshold, the Smoke Detector will start alarming again.

  2. If smoke concentration continues to rise during Alarm Silence period and exceeds a second alarm threshold, the SDCO Detector will start alarming again. An alarm activated by exceeding the second alarm threshold could be silenced by pressing the button.

• Recalibration

The SDCO Detector will calibrate its smoke detector sensor every time when power is applied to ensure optimal smoke sensitivity. After installation, the operation condition of the Smoke Detector may vary after some time, which may affect its smoke detection function and requires recalibration. There are two ways to recalibrate the Smoke Detector: auto calibration and manual calibration.

Auto Calibration:

• After being powering up, the Smoke Detector will perform auto-calibration after 4 hours.

• After the first auto-calibration, the Smoke Detector will perform auto calibration every month. During the auto-calibration process, the Smoke Detector will not emit any sound.

• If auto-calibration fails, the Amber LED will flash every second along with continuous beeps.

• When Smoke Detector auto calibration fails, the smoke alarm function will still work normally using the threshold value taken from the last successful calibration.

Manual Calibration:

• Manual calibration can be performed any time as desired:

  1. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds and release when the Smoke Detector emits 2 beeps.

  2. The Smoke Detector will enter calibration process. The LED Indicator will flash every 2 seconds.
