The first series of smoke alarm had terminals for an external supply. The second generation can only work on batteries. It has to do with regulations.

Ok it's sad to hear. Couldn't write that when i bought them. In the user manual it still stands it Can have 24vdc connected. Will get a problem with getting my installation of fibaro alarms aproved in Denmark. It Shall be battery powered and connected to steady power.

Excuse my english:-)

What manual are you refeing to? Are you sure it is manual for right version? Sorry to hear about this confusion, I only would like to make sure manuals are not misinforming.

It is this manual there is in the case.

Please login or register to see this link.

It will say that it can't be powered with 24vdc? Thougth the small holes beside the battery was to put wire terminal into?

This is manual for the old version indeed, if you look at model number you will see it is for FGSS-001, while version you bought is called FGSD-002. I am sorry for the mistake, but there were no other way to mark this device more visibly. These holes are kind of leftover from the older version and do not serve any purpose. Have you fond this manual online or was it attached to your device?

I was just typing the same... Indeed, if you remove the mount of the sensor, directly below the battery, it surely reads " SMOKE SENSOR FGSD-002 EU"?

I have a nagging question. The title of this topic is "fgss-001 gen. 5". Fibaro's FGSS-001 is not a "Gen5" device. But the FGSD-002 is indeed Z-Wave Plus! How did you come up with the strange combination of old product number and newer "Gen5"? Did someone advertise it as being "Gen5"?

Looked at the smoke alarm inside it is it a 002. But the manual there came with it says 001. That is why i got confuse. It's the same in my four new cases. problem sold. Just a Shame it Can get steady 24vdc.

Can I ask you about the date of production? It should be on a sticker on the box. I am sorry for the confusion.
