Detector Cleaning Required
When the detector is 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 4
hours, the panel displays a message fire clean.
Heat Alarm
The heat detector (cULus versions only) alarms when the heat signal level exceeds the heat
alarm threshold (135 ºF / 58 ºC); and will automatically restore when the heat signal level falls
below the heat alarm threshold (restore). The detector also goes into a heat alarm state when
there is a rapid increase in the temperature over a short period of time. During an alarm the
LED flashes 1/second and the sounder sounds the evacuation 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 at 64 minute intervals for the PG9936 and 12-minute inter-
vals for the PG8936/PG4936 models. If the signal is not received the control panel determines
that the detector is missing.
The detector transmits the following:
l
Alarm / Alarm Restore
- (heat or smoke alarm). Transmitted at time of occurrence.
NOTE:
During an alarm condition, the detector sends an alarm event to the control panel.
When the condition is restored, the detector sends an alarm restore event to the
panel and sets the alarm restore indicator. The red LED blinks once every 4
seconds until the Alarm in memory is cleared. You can clear the alarm restore indic-
ator from the control panel, or press and hold the test button for 5 seconds.
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 a supervisory or other transmissions.
l
Trouble
- (detector fault or sensor compensation limit reached). Troubles are transmitted at
the time of occurrence (one trouble per supervisory interval).
Batteries
The wireless smoke heat alarm is powered by 3 AAA Duracell Procell PC2400 or 3 AAA Ener-
gizer E92 batteries (included). 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 blinks every 12 seconds.
The detector's sounder chirps every 48 seconds and the yellow LED continues to blink until the
batteries are replaced. Pressing the hush button silences the chirps for 12 hours, if no other
trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced with new batteries when the chirps
begin.
At low battery, the test button is disabled. An alternative test method is to use an aerosol test
gas such as ‘Solo A10 smoke detector tester’. Shake the can well, aim it at the smoke detector
and spray a short burst (no more than 1 sec) at the detector. If the alarm does not sound,
repeat every 10 seconds until alarm sounds or for a maximum of 1 minute.
NOTE:
If the alarm does not sound, contact the installer or dealer for service.
Battery Installation and Replacement
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used bat-
tery according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To replace batteries, complete the following steps:
