13.2  Testing 

 

Place the alarm control panel or the receiver into walk test mode See the relevant receiver 
instructions for more details. 

 

Press and hold the test button for three seconds (see Fig 3). The sounder will begin to emit the 
alarm sound at the end of the three seconds. The detector transmits a radio signal to the alarm 
control panel or the receiver. 

 

Check whether the receiver has received the alarm. 

 

Choose another location for the detector if the alarm control panel was not able to receive the 
signal. 

 

Complete the walk test at the alarm control panel or at the receiver. 

 

Alternatively, you can use the test spray available from ABUS  to test the wireless smoke alarm device. 
An alarm will be triggered if the aerosol penetrates the smoke chamber. 

Test the smoke alarm device each week, e.g. when doing the cleaning, by pressing the test button. 

Always test the detector immediately when returning from holiday, or following an extended period of 
absence.

 

14.  Cleaning and maintenance 

Never remove the batteries, other than when you want to change them! 

When the activity LED is activated (see chapter 10.3 LED display), it flashes once every 60 seconds. This 
indicates that the batteries are correctly connected. If the alarm does not sound when checked, the 
batteries must be replaced. 

The detector will emit a short beep once per minute about one month before the batteries are completely 
empty. This signals that the batteries have to be changed. The detector continues to work perfectly 
normally during this period. Use high quality batteries such as Duracell MN1500, Eveready Energizer 
E91, for example. Always test the detector after changing the batteries. 

 

Note

 

Wait for 30 seconds after removing the old batteries before inserting the new batteries.
