INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
Attach the ceiling plate using the included plugs and screws to the ceiling on a
location of choice. Wall mounting is not recommended for smoke detection. Put
the 9V block battery in the smoke detector. Then put the detector to the ceiling
plate and, twist clockwise to lock it in place. Perform a first test by holding the test
key for two seconds. Also see the paragraph: "Testing".
USING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:
Using:
The smoke detector works if the 9V battery has been placed and the SA-19/5
has been mounted to the ceiling. The unit can only be mounted to the plate if the
battery has been installed. The LED underneath the test button will now flash ±
every 45 seconds. Once smoke is detected, the alarm will sound. Once the smoke
disappears, the smoke alarm will stop automatically
Test:
By pressing the "HUSH/TEST" button 1x, the alarm of the SA-19/5 will be
checked. Keep the "HUSH/TEST" pressed for a minimum of 2 seconds. If you
immediately hear 3 audio tones the alarm is in excelent working condition. Check
the alarm every week. In alarm status the device generates 85dB(A) sound. Do
not test the device using candles, open fire, cigarettes etc.
Hush function
The Hush function allows the user to decrease the smoke detectors sensitivity
during an alarm. By pressing the "HUSH/TEST" button the smoke detector is
decreased for a period of 10 minutes. The red led flashes 1x every 10 seconds in
Hush mode. After 10 minutes the smoke detector resets to its default sensitivity.
For example, this can be used when the smoke detector gives alarm during
cooking.
Time-out function:
The time-out function allows you to preventively lower the sensitivity of the smoke
detector. By pressing the "HUSH/TEST" button without an active alarm, you
reduce the smoke detectors sensitivity for 10 minutes. The red LED lights up 1x
every 10 seconds during Hush mode. After 10 minutes the smoke detector resets
to its default sensitivity. You can use this mode for example when you know that a
situation (for example: cooking) will product smoke and there is no danger.
