SWIFT™ Wireless System Gateway Addressable Devices General Fire•Lite Alarms’ SWIFT™ Wireless System can be applied in many situations that are problematic for traditional wired devices. In cases where areas of a building are difficult or impossible to wire, visually sensitive, or have restricted access, SWIFT wireless sensors provide an efficient, reliable solution. SWIFT wireless devices communicate via a proprietary wireless mesh protocol to communicate with a Fire•Lite® fire alarm system by means of a SWIFT Wireless Gateway. The SWIFT Gateway connects to the SLC loop of an MS-9200UDLS or MS-9600(UD)LS panel using LiteSpeed™ protocol. Wireless devices in a SWIFT network develop "parent-child" communication links with other devices in the mesh, so that a message originating from a remote device "hops" to the closest parent device, and then to successive parent devices until the message reaches gateway. Alternate paths are also identified and supervised by the SWIFT protocol providing approved Class A wireless communication. If a device does not have an established communication path with adequate signal strength, an additional device such as a wireless module may be installed in between so that it will act as a repeater. A SWIFT Gateway system supports up to 50 devices: 1 SWIFT Gateway and up to 48 wireless detectors and monitor modules, and 1 display driver. The Gateway assumes one SLC address (module), each wireless device assumes one module or detector address, and the display driver assumes one SLC address. The maximum number of gateways on a system is limited by the number of available SLC addresses on the FACP, or a maximum of 4 gateways within common wireless range. One W-DIS-D Wireless Display Driver and ANN-80-W Annunciator are required with each W-GATE installed. The W-DIS-D and ANN-80-W display wireless-specific events that cannot be displayed on the FACP. The SWIFT system has been designed so that it can be installed using only typical hand tools and magnets. However, the SWIFT Tools PC utility provides many benefits that can enhance the process of performing a site evaluation (Site Survey), installing a system (Mesh Configuration), or extracting detailed information from the system (Diagnostics). The utility runs on a Windows® laptop, and uses a USB radio antenna (W-USB) inserted into a USB slot to communicate with wireless devices within range of the PC. Once devices have formed a mesh, SWIFT Tools can provide current information on all devices in the mesh as long as the PC is within range of the SWIFT Gateway. The result is a fire system that combines both wired and wireless detection and presents all event information at the panel and/or display driver/annunciator. Features • Wireless mesh technology (902-928 MHz frequency) • Cascading-wave mesh operation provides a verification of redundant communication paths • Any wireless device can be added to act as a repeater • Each gateway supports up to 50 addresses: 1 wireless gateway, 1 display driver, and up to 48 devices W-GATE Wireless System Gateway • Up to 4 wireless networks can be installed with overlapping radio network coverage • Site Survey feature allows for an evaluation of a site before the installation • Standard "code wheel" for setting the SLC address • Wireless devices use (4) CR-123A lithium batteries • Battery Life – UL listed for 2 years SWIFT Tools SWIFT Tools is a Windows PC-based utility that is used for site evaluation, system configuration, and diagnostics. The SWIFT Tools program is used with the W-USB adapter to communicate with wireless devices that are not joined in a network, or with one or more wireless gateways and all devices that have formed a network with each gateway. A graphic representation of the wireless network provides important system data in an effective format, including communication links, signal strength, battery voltage, and more. Tool-less operation is supported, allowing you to perform site evaluation and system configuration and installation can be accomplished without using SWIFT Tools when necessary. Multi-colored LEDs on SWIFT devices provide feedback for interactions. At any point, only one instance of SWIFT Tools can run on a laptop or PC. SWIFT Tools has the following utilities: • Site Survey • Create Mesh Network • Diagnostics SWIFT Tools works in a wireless environment with the WGATE and devices within a range of approximately 20 feet. SWIFT Tools is designed for systems running Microsoft Windows.
