NFPA 72 currently recognized four methods of communication from the protected premises to the supervising station for fire alarm systems: Performance-Based Technology, Digital Alarm Communicator Systems, Two-Way Radio Frequency (RF) Multiplex, and One-Way Private Radio Alarm Systems.
The fire alarm panel controls the alarms and events of the entire system. The EK‐WL8‐TRH wireless translator is connected directly to the fire alarm panel via the Hochiki ESP Enhanced System Protocol and communicates with the wireless devices and the wireless expanders.
Apr 8, 2024 · The process begins with the detection of fire indicators (smoke or heat) by the detectors, which then send a radio signal to the control panel. Then, the signal is transmitted wirelessly, as a wireless fire alarm, using radio waves.

While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance! An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warning of a dev...
IP connections rely on available bandwidth, which could be lim-ited if the network is shared by multiple users or if ISP policies impose restrictions on the amount of data transmitted. Service packages must be carefully chosen to ensure that alarm signals will always have available bandwidth. Outages by the ISP for maintenance and upgrades may also...
WARNING: This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-ate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual may cause interfer-ence to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class A computing devices pur-suant to Subpart C of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which is design...

The SWIFT® Network Manual provides an overview of the following: Wireless fire alarm system Instructions for installing and configuring the wireless devices Information on monitoring the status of the wireless devices Removal and replacement procedures of the Wireless Gateway and Display Driver Testing, maintenance, and firmware upgrade information...
This document is created with the assumption that all users are familiar with working on a PC and laptop for configuration purposes. Install-ers should be familiar with the fire alarm and related service standards. The terminology and level of details of this document reflect this assumption.
The table below provides a list of documents referenced in this manual, as well as documents for selected other compatible devices.
The following table lists the abbreviations and their definitions used in this manual.C
When using SWIFT Tools to update the firmware of the gateway or devices, ensure updates are performed in a secure location where no eavesdropping on the wireless signals is possible. Ensure the PC running SWIFT Tools has full disk encryption. Full encryption of any backed-up data is also recommended. The wireless gateway should be secured in a loca...
NOTE: SWIFT W-GATE requires a UL-listed control panel and UL-listed wireless devices. SWIFT W-GATEA requires a ULC-listed control panel and ULC-listed wireless devices. See Section 4, “Wireless Devices” for a list of specific wireless devices & their listings. Refer to the specific panel’s documentation for its UL/ULC listings.
Following are the specifications of the wireless gateway.

The two LEDs on the gateway blink in the same pattern to allow the LED to be viewed from any angle. LED patterns are explained in Appendix D.
Choose a location for the gateway that is clean, dry, and vibration-free. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient room to easily install and maintain the gateway. Metal obstructions impede the radio frequency communication and should be avoided. Carefully unpack the system and inspect for shipping damage if any. All wiring must comply...
WARNING: POLYPROPYLENE ELECTRICAL INSULATION MATERIAL ! ENSURE THAT THE POLYPROPYLENE ELECTRICAL INSULATION MATERIAL COVERING THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE THE GATEWAY IS NOT REMOVED OR TAMPERED WHILE INSTALLING OR CLEANING.
To power the gateway using the signaling line circuit, connect the gateway as described in the table and graphic below:
To successfully configure and/or program the gateway: Create a profile. A profile binds a gateway and the devices in a mesh network together. The profile will contain a mesh ID that is used when forming the associations. All devices, including the gateway, require a common profile. Assign a profile using SWIFT Tools. Assign the profile to every dev...
Start-up mode is a temporary mode of operation. During start-up mode a profile can be created or removed. The start-up period lasts for 10 seconds. If a particular unit contains a profile, the LEDs double blink yellow every second. If the unit does not contain a profile, the LEDs double blink red every second. During start-up, the gateway does not ...
The gateway enters the profile configured mode once a profile is assigned by SWIFT Tools. Profile configured mode is a temporary mode before the gateway transitions to mesh formation or normal mode.
The gateway must have a profile before entering mesh formation mode. The gateway and the peripheral devices do not provide any fire pro-tection in this mode. The gateway enters mesh formation mode: after creating a profile using the mesh formation sensor. after activating the mesh formation sensor with a magnet when the gateway contains a profile. ...
Initial mesh restructuring mode automatically runs after each mesh formation. The gateway and peripheral devices do not provide fire pro-tection during the initial mesh restructuring mode. Mesh restructuring analyzes signal strengths between devices. The gateway designates the primary and secondary communication paths between devices that provide a...
Normal mode is the network’s standard operating state. The mesh network has been formed and is providing fire protection. The mesh net-work will continuously search for additional devices with a matching profile to join the mesh. To avoid interference, the mesh network peri-odically checks for adjacent mesh networks created by Honeywell. The gatewa...
During normal mode, if an out-of-network device with a matching profile is discovered by the network, the gateway will trigger rescue mode in all communicating devices. All devices in communication continue to provide fire protection during rescue mode but also search for a lost or added device. Rescue mode automatically terminates 3 minutes after ...
In addition to the initial mesh restructuring mode, mesh restructuring is automatically performed after any restoration of communication to a device or to recover from a link failure (Class A fault). Mesh restructuring that occurs during normal mode does not generate a trouble mes-sage. During mesh restructuring, fire protection is provided by all ...

The Radio Hub communicates to a protocol compatible Fire Alarm Control panel, via its loop wiring connection. An LCD display is provided on the Radio Hub along with function buttons, to allow programming and diagnostics to be carried out for all associated devices and RCCs. The RCC is a wireless device requiring only a mains power connection.
