HFI-SIM-01 Altair Wall Sounder Module
Product Information: HFI-SIM-01 Altair Wall Sounder Module
The HFI-SIM-01 Altair Wall Sounder Module is an add-in interface
module that allows the use of the conventional HFC-WSW-03 sounder
and HFC-SBW-23-03 sounder/VAD on an Altair intelligent loop. This
module is compatible only with intelligent control panels and
systems based on the Argus Security Altair protocol. The module
must be wired according to the wiring details described in the
manual, and the intelligent loop must be disconnected from the
control panel before wiring. An address must be assigned to the
device, and it is possible to select an address between 1 and
240.
Product Usage Instructions
- Before adding in the module, detach the front sounder body from
the sounder back box, prepare the cable entry (or entries) on the
sounder back box, and fix the sounder back box to the wall. - Assign a loop address to this module by using one of the
following methods:
- Use the HFI-DPT-05 manual programmer: this must be connected to
the intelligent interface module using a suitable connector; for
further information consult the manual programmer’s instructions
and refer to the CONNECTION TO THE HFI-DPT-05 MANUAL PROGRAMMER
section in the manual. - Perform the automatic addressing routine from the control panel
once all loop devices have been wired. This method can be used only
if the control panel has been designed with this functionality; in
any case, refer to your control panel manual and your system
supplier, since performing this process is not possible on all
types of installations.

Test the HFI-SIM-01 and HFC-WSW-03 / HFC-SBW-23-03 assembly after installation.
ASSOCIATED DEVICE’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This manual provides installation instructions limited only to the HFI-SIM-01. For specific installation instructions about the HFC-WSW-03 and HFC-SBW-23-03 refer to their separate manuals:
HFC-WSW-03 installation instructions
code: L20-CWS1W-1400
HFC-SBW-23-03 installation instructions code: L20-CWSVW-1400
BEFORE ADDING IN THE MODULE
As described in the HFC-WSW-03 / HFC-SBW-23-03 manuals remember to:
1) Detach the front sounder body from the sounder back box.
2) Prepare the cable entry (or entries) on the sounder back box.
3) Fix the sounder back box to the wall.
Furthermore:
4) Assign a loop address to this module (as described below).
ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
An address must be assigned to the device:
– The address must be unique: no other device on the intelligent loop must have the same address.
– It is possible to select an address between 1 and 240.
In order to address the module, use one of the following methods:
– Use the HFI-DPT-05 manual programmer: this must be connected to the intelligent interface module using a suitable connector; for further information consult the manual programmer’s instructions and refer to the following “CONNECTION TO THE HFI-DPT-05 MANUAL PROGRAMMER” section.
– Perform the automatic addressing routine from the control panel once all loop devices have been wired. This method can be used only if the control panel has been designed with this functionality; in any case, refer to your contr ol panel manual
and, above all, your system supplier, since performing this process is not possible on all types of installations.
For identification purposes, it is possible to record the loop number and device address on the module label.

CONNECTION TO THE HFI-DPT-05 MANUAL PROGRAMMER
Unscrew and detach the terminal block
from the jack connection cable (supplied with the HFI-DPT-05).
Insert and SECURE using screw terminals: – The BLACK wire into the Loop in (-) terminal block. – The RED wire into the Loop in (+) terminal block.
The sounder module must not be connected to the loop or to other devices when using the programmer.
Insert the cable jack into the jack port of the HFI-DPT-05.
Cable connections to the
module terminal blocks
must be firm and secure:
disconnection
during
address programming can damage
the device beyond repair.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR THE MODULE 1) Insert the terminal edge of the module between the securing points on the wall of the back box.. 2) Gently push down the module body so that the locking catch engages fully to hold the PCB in place. Check that it feels secure.
Picture 1
LOCKING CATCH
When assembling or removing the front operating section of the sounder to/from the back box, be careful to ensure the interconnection block is not twisted which may cause damage. Perform these operations without using excessive force.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE FOR THE MODULE
If required for any reason, the module can be removed from the back box as follows:
1) Gently release the locking catch allowing the module to lift and rotate to release from the side wall.
2) Remove the module.

Loop out (-)
The HFI-SIM-01 and HFC-WSW-03 / HFC-SBW-23-03 assembly is protected from wiring short circuits. If one of the local loop circuits suffers from a short circuit the isolator will open and protect until the short circuit condition is resolved.
BEFORE FITTING THE SOUNDER BODY
As described in the HFC-WSW-03 / HFC-SBW-23-03 manuals remember to:
1) Set the output tone.
2) Set the output volume.

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our devices use high quality electronic components and plastic materials that are highly resistant to environmental deterioration. However, after 10 years of continuous operation, it is advisable to replace the devices in order to minimize the risk of reduced performance caused by external factors.
Ensure that this device is only used with compatible control panels. Detection systems must be checked, serviced and maintained on a regular basis to confirm correct operation.
Smoke detectors may respond differently to various kinds of smoke particles, thus application advice should be sought for special risks. Detectors cannot respond correctly if barriers exist between them
and the fire location and may be affected by special environmental conditions. Refer to and follow national codes of practice and other internationally recognized fire engineering standards.
Appropriate risk assessment should be carried out initially to determine correct design criteria and updated periodically.
