every 45 seconds to confirm a fault condition. If the device
fails the test, return the unit for service.

Upon completion, exit the test mode at the control panel.
Detector test
Caution:
To avoid a fire department dispatch, contact the
remote monitoring station or put the control panel into the
corresponding test mode before performing this test.
Detectors should be tested annually using canned smoke (for
smoke detectors only). Follow the instructions on the can.
Heat detectors can also be tested, using heat detector testers.
During the test, the status LED is on and the device sounds the
selected tone. The device automatically resets when smoke is
no longer present.
If the device fails to activate, return the unit for service.
Maintenance
Replacing the batteries
Insert a minimum of two specified batteries, whilst observing
the correct polarity. Up to four batteries can be fitted for
extended battery life.
When batteries are low, the device's status LED remains off
and the device chirps 3 times in quick succession every
45 seconds until the batteries are exhausted. Replace batteries
immediately.
Note:
The low battery alert can be silenced for 24 hours by
pressing the Test button for one second.
Always test the device after replacing the batteries.
Sensor maintenance
Remove dust cover before use.
The device should be tested upon installation and in
accordance with local requirements.
Testing should only be carried out by a fully trained competent
person.
The Manufacturer recommends regular functional testing of at
least once per annum or in accordance with local codes of
practice.
Caution:
Do not open the case to clean inside the detector.
The detector cannot be cleaned. If the device's sensor has a
contamination fault, it should be replaced.
Limitations of smoke / heat alarm detectors
WARNING!
Risk of personal injury or death. Smoke / heat
detectors can not provide warnings for fires resulting from
explosions, smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of
flammable liquids, vapors and gases, or children playing with
matches or lighters. Failure to properly install, test and
maintain detectors and associated alarm systems may cause it
to fail, resulting in loss of life or property.
Smoke / heat detectors may not work under all conditions.
Smoke / heat alarms can not provide total protection of life or
property and are not a substitute for insurance. All alarms are
4 / 60
subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety
of reasons. For example:
•
This device will not operate and an alarm will not sound if
its batteries are dead, removed, or installed incorrectly.
•
Radio signals transmitted by this device may be blocked
or reflected by metal objects. Adjacent devices or systems
using radio frequency signals may interfere with the
operation of this alarm. Test the system weekly to ensure
signals are transmitted and received properly.
•
Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block or
reduce the alarm sound from this device. This device is
not designed for the hearing impaired.
•
Smoke / heat detectors cannot sense smoke inside
chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed
door.
•
Smoke / heat detectors may not detect smoke on other
levels of the building.
•
Smoke / heat detectors may not warn in time when fires
are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper
storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or
other hazardous conditions.
•
Current studies have shown alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of
individuals in the household that are capable of assisting
others to provide assistance to those who may not be
awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
Fire prevention and escape
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM! IF THERE
IS ANY QUESTION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE ALARM, IT
SHOULD BE ASSUMED THAT THERE IS A FIRE AND THE
BUILDING SHOULD BE EVACUATED IMMEDIATELY.
The purpose of an early warning alarm is to detect the
presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm giving
the occupants time to exit the premises safely.
Avoid fire hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore,
safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous
situations as follows:
•
DO NOT smoke in bed.
•
DO NOT leave children home alone.
•
NEVER clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
•
Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping
techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered
basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation
to fire.
•
Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses.
•
DO NOT overload electrical outlets.
•
DO NOT store explosive and/or fast burning materials in
your home.
Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start.
Be prepared.
