FireLite® Alarms' SWIFT ® (Smart Wireless Integrated Fire Technol- ogy) 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, reli- able solution.

SWIFT wireless devices communicate via a proprietary wireless mesh protocol to communicate with FireLite fire alarm systems by means of a SWIFT wireless gateway. The SWIFT gateway connects to the SLC loop of an ES-200X, ES-50X, MS-9200UDLS or MS- 9600(UD)LS panel using LiteSpeed™ protocol. New type IDs for wireless devices are supported (for the ES-200X and ES-50X only) that allow the FACP to display all events such as alarms and trouble indications, as well as unique trouble conditions required for wire- less devices. This capability eliminates the need for a supplemen- tary annunciator for wireless event messages.

Wireless devices in a SWIFT network develop "parent-child" com- munication 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 communica- tion. If a device does not have an established communication path with adequate signal strength, an additional device such as a wire- less 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 gate- way and up to 49 wireless detectors, modules, pullstations, and A/V bases when used with the ES-200X or ES-50X. The MS-9200UDLS and MS-9600(UD)LS can supports a SWIFT gateway and up to 48 detectors, modules, pullstations, A/V bases, and 1 display driver. 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 in a system using the MS-9200UDLS or MS- 9600(UD)LS control panels. The W-DIS-D and ANN-80-W display wireless-specific events that cannot be displayed on the FACP
