HFW-PA-05 Wireless Addressable Dual Path Optical Smoke Detector
Product Information: HFW-PA-05 Bi-Directional Wireless
Addressable Dual Path Optical Smoke Detector with Variable
Sensitivity
This detector model samples the air in the protected area. An
alarm condition is raised when the detected environmental smoke
quantity exceeds the alarm threshold. This detector is compatible
only with wireless systems based on the Sagittarius protocol. For
more specific information concerning compatibility, refer to your
fire security system supplier.
Installation – Important Notes
For detector spacing, placement, and special applications, refer
to your specific national standards. Mount the detector as far as
possible from metal objects, metal doors, metal window openings,
etc., as well as cable conductors, cables (especially from
computers), otherwise, the operating distance may greatly drop. The
detector must NOT be installed near electronic devices and computer
equipment that can interfere with its wireless link quality. This
detector must be installed according precisely to the procedures
described in this manual. Test this detector after
installation.
Before Installing the Detector
Follow the below steps before installing the detector:
- Extract the batteries cover from the back of the detector.
- Power-up the detector removing the isolating tab in the battery
housing. LED indicators signal Power up. - Link the detector to the Sagittarius wireless system
(LINKING). - Check the WIRELESS LINK QUALITY.
- Select a good location for the detector.
- Tag device’s loop and address data (IDENTIFICATION).
- Fix the detector supporting base to the wall (BASE
INSTALLATION).
LED Indicators
The LED indicators provide visual indication for functional
conditions and battery levels as indicated in table 1 below:
| Detector’s status | LEDs indication |
|---|---|
| Power up | 1 second GREEN, then 4 X 0.5 second RED blink |
| Linking to the system | Blinking GREEN until linking is completed |
| Link failure | Blinking RED: 0.5 second on and 0.5 second off, 0.1 second ORANGE blink, then 5 seconds off |
| Battery 1 fault | LEDs off |
| Battery 2 fault | 0.1 second GREEN blink, then 5 seconds off |
| Both batteries fault | 0.1 second ORANGE, then 5 seconds off, 0.1 second GREEN, then 5 seconds off |
| Other fault | sequential ORANGE / GREEN 0.5 second blinking |
| Tamper | LEDs off |
| Lost link with wire to wireless translator / wireless expander Test Mode – Detector is more reactive to aerosol stimulus | LEDs off, Blinking GREEN every 1 second for 1 minute |
Linking
The system is waiting to achieve a wireless child device. Follow
the below steps for linking:
- Move the link switch’s cursor from ON to the opposite side of
its run (we will call it BLANK, since it carries no
indication). - LED indicators signal Linking to the system (picture 2).
Linking is successful when:
- The translator indicates so (check translator’s
literature) - The Wirelex software indicates so (check the Wirelex’s
literature).
If linking is unsuccessful:

LINKING
The system is waiting to achieve a wireless child device (for further information refer to the translator’s or the Wirelex configuration software’s literature):
Link switch
1) Move the link switch’s cursor from ON to the opposite side of its run (we will call it BLANK, since it carries no indication). LED indicators signal “Linking to the system” (picture 2).
Linking is successful when:
a) the translator indicates so (check translator’s literature)
OR
b) the Wirelex software indicates so (check the Wirelex’s literature). If linking is unsuccessful:
Picture 2
2) Check if evident mistakes were made.
3) Perform the LINKING RECOVERY.
LINKING RECOVERY
1) Take out both batteries from their holders
2) Move alternatively the link switch to ON / BLANK five times (picture 2) 3) Move the link switch to ON 4) Reinsert both batteries into their holders, oriented as per polarity marks 5) Perform the LINKING procedure
During the linking phase, the detector must be positioned close to the aerial (within a few centimeters) of the translator or expander to which it is being linked.
DETECTOR SENSITIVITY SETTINGS
During installation using the Wirelex software it’s possible to set the smoke sensitivity of the detector (see table 4). Otherwise if the installation is performed manually through the translator keyboard, default setting will be applied.
WIRELESS LINK QUALITY
It is possible to check wireless link quality between the detector and its linked-to translator or expander in this way:
1) Move the link switch to the ON position.
2) LED indicators will start blinking according to the following table:
Communication quality No communication Communication quality: 0 dB – 10 dB (Mark 2) Communication quality: 10 dB – 20 dB (Mark 3) Communication quality: 20 dB – 30 dB (Mark 4) Communication quality: > 30 dB (Mark 5)
Assessment Fail Poor, not acceptable Medium-low, not recommended Good Excellent
Device’s indication Two red blinks One red blink One green blink Two green blinks Two green blinks
NOTE: Ensure the link switch is returned to the “BLANK” (operational) position on completion of testing.
SELECT A GOOD LOCATION FOR THE DETECTOR
Choose for the detector a placement position that:
– compliances with your specific standards – is reached by a strong wireless signal from its linked-to
translator or expander module – is not interfered by environmental factors.
IDENTIFICATION
For identification purposes, analogue loop number and device’s address can be recorded on the plastic tag supplied with the base (picture 3). Extract the plastic tag from the bottom of the base, write or label identification data on it and, finally, insert it in the side slot of the base.

contamination:
detectors
should be removed before construc-
tion, major re-decoration or other dust
producing work is started. 3) Rotate clockwise applying gentle pressure.
The detector will drop into its keyed location. Dust covers MUST be removed before
the system can be made operational. 4) Continue to rotate clockwise a few degrees
until the detector has fully engaged in the base.
5) When the detector is firmly engaged, check the alignment of the raised reference marks on the detector and on the base (picture 5).

DETECTOR LOCKING
To lock the detector to the base, screw in the provided security screw; screw entry is located on the side of the detector’s base (picture 6).
TAMPER DETECTION
When the detector is detached from the base a tamper message event is sent to the control panel.

1) Hold a suitable magnet in correspondence of the indicated area (picture 7).
2) LED indicator will signal “Test Mode” (blinking GREEN every 1 second)
3) Apply again the magnet in correspondence of the indicated area (picture 7) 4) If it works LED indicator will signal “Alarm”
Picture 5
TEST 2 – AEROSOL TEST
Use only suitable aerosol testers supplied by approved manufacturers.
1) Hold a suitable magnet in correspondence of the indicated area (picture 7)
2) LED indicator will signal “Test Mode” (blinking GREEN every 1 second)
3) By following its specific instructions, apply the aerosol test device to the detector
4) Wait a few seconds
5) If it works LED indicator will signal “Alarm” MAINTENANCE – CLEANING
Picture 6
1) Remove the detector from its base.
2) Smoke entry areas: use a small, soft bristle brush to dislodge any obvious contaminants such as insects, spider webs, hairs, etc.
3) Smoke entry areas: use a small vacuum tube or dry, clean, compressed air to suck up or blow any remaining small particles away.
4) Wipe the exterior housing of the detector with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to remove any surface film that can later attract airborne contaminants.
5) Install the detector onto its base again.
6) Test the detector.

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.
