W-SYNC SWIFT Sync Module
W-SYNC SWIFT
®
Synchronization Module
General
The SWIFT
®
synchronization module (W-SYNC) provides audio
and visual synchronization between SWIFT notification appliances
and System Sensor wired notification appliances supporting the
integrated wired-wireless solution. The module only operates with
notification appliances that use the System Sensor synchronization
protocol. Synchronization of the SWIFT notification appliances
within a single mesh network is inherent in the wireless system so a
wireless synchronization module is not needed. The W-SYNC also
provides wireless control and monitoring of a Notification Appliance
Circuit (NAC) expander or power supply. The wireless synchroniza-
tion module operates from 24V power with supplemental battery
support and communicates through the mesh network with the gate-
way and FACP.
SWIFT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The SWIFT Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technology wireless sys-
tem offers intelligent (addressable) devices which provide secure,
reliable communication to the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)
across a Class A mesh network. Wireless devices create an oppor-
tunity for applications where it is costly (concrete walls/ceilings, bur-
ied wires), obtrusive (surface mount conduit), or possibly dangerous
(asbestos) to use traditional wired devices. It allows fast installation
for time-critical situations and provides the flexibility to add wireless
onto wired systems for retrofit installations. Both wired and wireless
devices can be present on the same FACP for an integrated solu-
tion.
The mesh network within the SWIFT system creates a child-parent
relationship between the devices so that each device has two par-
ents providing a second path for communications on every device. If
one device can no longer operate for any reason, the rest of the
devices can still communicate with each other, directly or through
one or more intermediate devices. Once an initial mesh network is
formed, mesh restructuring automatically occurs to find the stron-
gest paths possible within the network.
The SWIFT system also engages frequency hopping to prevent sys-
tem interference whether intentional or accidental. Each device com-
plies with FCC Title 47 Part 15c: 1) The device may not cause
harmful interference and 2) The device must accept any interference
received including interference that may cause undesired operation.
