USING, REGISTERING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:

Using:

A smoke detector is in operation when the batteries are installed. Make sure the red tab is turned in. This is held in place by the 2x AA batte-

ries. Only when the batteries are installed will the unit be able to be placed on the ceiling plate. When one of the detectors enters the smoke or smo-
ke, the alarm will go off and it will be forwarded to other detectors that will also go off. If the smoke or walm disappears, the alarm will automatically
stop. To link with other SA-41 smoke detectors, the smoke detectors must first be logged on to each other. During registration, a code is wirelessly
agreed between all smoke detectors. As soon as a smoke detector goes off, it will send this code and other smoke detectors in the neighbourhood
will also go off. Please note that only the smoke detectors within a 20 meter radius of the smoke detecting smoke detector will sound.

Connecting:

Connect the smoke detectors to each other before installing the smoke detectors on the ceiling.
1) Take one of the smoke detectors.
2) Press and hold the button for 12 seconds until the light stops flashing and stays on. Now release immediately. (Repeat this step if the lamp starts
flashing quickly). The light will now remain on for 30 seconds.
3) During this time, briefly press the button on another SA-41 smoke detector, and release it immediately when the lamp lights up. If registration is
successful, the lights on both detectors will flash briefly.
4) Repeat step 3 for other smoke detectors you want to pair. You have another 30 seconds to do this.
5) Briefly press the button of the first alarm to stop the register procedure.

The maximum distance between each unit is 20 meters. Alarms that are outside this distance from a logged in Smoke Alarm will not alarm if it detects
a fire.

If you want to link an additional SA-41 later, you will need to repeat the entire registration process for all smoke detectors.

Time-out function:

This function will disable the alarm for approximately 10 minutes. This function can be activated by pressing the button once. The indicator light will
light up ± every 8 seconds to indicate that the sound has been temporarily muted. After 10 minutes, the alarm will be reactivated.

Test:

The alarm is very loud (>85dB). We recommend using hearing protection when testing the smoke detectors. By pressing the test button on the

SA-41 the alarm can be tested.
1) Test a single alarm: Press the test button for at least 2 seconds. Operation is correct for 2 or 3 signal tones. Then the alarm is still working correctly.
2) Test all alarms: If you keep the test button pressed for a longer time (30 sec.), the connected smoke detectors within range will give an alarm to
indicate that the connection is OK. It may take up to 60 seconds for the other detectors to receive the signal. The button must also be held down for
this time.
If the connection does not work after 90 seconds of pressing and holding the test button, make sure that there are other devices nearby that work with
a radio connection and may cause interference.
If a single detector’s test does not work, check the battery. If it does not work with a new battery, replace the appropriate Smoke Alarm.

The test function does not work if the time-out function is enabled. Check the detectors every week. In alarm status, the smoke detectors generate at
least 85dB(A) of sound pressure. Do not test the smoke detectors with candles, open flames, cigarettes, or the like.

ATTENTION:

If there are questions about the cause of an ALARM, assume that the alarm is caused by a fire and immediately evacuate the home.

Keep smoke detectors out of the reach of children.

During construction and renovation work, protect the smoke detectors from dust. Without protection, the smoke detectors lose their functionality.
