To connect a wireless smoke alarm, you'll typically need to follow the manufacturer's instructions to pair the devices using a specific button sequence or by using a remote control. Most wireless alarms communicate via radio frequency (RF), so you'll need to make sure they're within range of each other and follow the pairing process outlined in the manual.
Here's a general overview of the process from Anka Security, which may vary by brand:
1. Refer to the manual:
Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your wireless smoke alarm.
2. Determine the pairing method:
Some alarms require a certain number of button presses, while others use a remote control.
3. Start pairing mode:
Put one alarm in pairing mode (e.g., by pressing a button multiple times or using a remote control) as directed by the manual.
4. Pair additional alarms:
Put the remaining alarms in pairing mode as well, making sure they're within range of the first alarm.
5. Test the connection:
Once all alarms are paired, test the system to confirm that they all sound when one alarm is triggered.
