Cleaning the Smoke Detector
(Optional Feature)
If you had a smoke/heat detector installed, you will need to clean it
every three months. It may also be necessary to clean it after it has
been tripped by smoke or dust. To clean the smoke detector,
vacuum
the smoke detector vents using a crevice attachment without
removing the cover. Should this cleaning process trip a smoke/heat
detector alarm, perform the following steps:
1. The siren will sound. Cancel the alarm by entering a valid
user code immediately followed by the
CANCEL
button.
2. The keypad may start beeping and the TROUBLE light will be
on. Finish vacuuming the smoke detector.
3. When you have finished vacuuming the smoke detector, check
the keypad to see if it is still beeping and the TROUBLE light is
on, wait 5 minutes for the system to reset.
4. The beeping can be
silenced
for 24 hours by pressing the
CANCEL
key.
5. If after 30 minutes the detector fails to reset, the TROUBLE
light will be on and the keypad will beep. Call Brink’s Customer
Service at 1-800-445-0872 for assistance. Customer Service is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
NOTE: Every two years you should contact Brink’s Customer Service
to schedule service of the smoke detectors. A more thorough cleaning
and testing of the smoke/heat detector can be done at this time. (If
you have purchased an extended service plan, there is no charge
for this service call.)
