Detector Dirty Feature
When the detector has been contaminated, the yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and there
is a chirp every 48 seconds. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning the detector. After 12
hours, the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
Heat Alarm
The detector will go into heat alarm if there is a rapid increase in the temperature over a short
period of time. During an alarm the LED will flash 1/second and the sounder will sound the evac-
uation temporal pattern.
Tamper
The removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a “tamper” transmission. The tamper
condition is restored after the detector is mounted on the plate.
Wireless Transmissions
A supervisory message is transmitted to the control panel at 12-minute intervals. If the signal is not
received the control panel determines that the detector is missing. The detector transmits the fol-
lowing:
l
Alarm / Alarm Restore
- (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted at time of occurrence.
l
Tamper / Tamper Restore
- (tamper switch activated) 10 second maximum delay on restore
before transmission.
l
Low Battery
- (battery voltage falls below threshold). Battery voltage is tested & transmitted at
the time of supervisory or other transmissions.
l
Trouble
- (detector fault or sensor compensation limit reached). Troubles are transmitted at the
time of occurrence.
Batteries
NOTE:
The batteries must be replaced by service persons only.
The wireless smoke and heat alarm is powered by 3 AAA batteries. Use Duracell Procell MN2400
for the ASD30. Expected battery life is 3 years under typical use. The detector regularly checks for a
low battery. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control
panel, which displays the detector's ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector will
blink every 12 seconds. The detector's sounder will chirp every 48 seconds (yellow LED continues
to blink) until the batteries are replaced. Pressing the hush button will silence the chirps for 12
hours, if no other trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced when the chirps begin.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
Battery Installation and Replacement
To replace batteries:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise. Care-
fully remove batteries by lifting from the “+” end using a flathead screwdriver and dispose of
them according to local regulations.
2. To ensure a proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing
new batteries.
3. Install 3 new AAA batteries (available from a local Duracell or Energizer dealer) in the battery
compartment. Install the batteries by inserting the “-” end first, then pushing the “+” end down.
If the batteries are incorrectly inserted, remove them carefully by lifting them out from the “+”
