4. Using the Smoke Detector
Installing the battery
Connect a 9-volt battery to the connector. Do not use a rechargeable battery. The battery
will fit only one way. Be sure the battery connector is securely attached. Place battery into
battery pocket (see picture 1.2).
Alarm
A continuous beeps will sound when smoke is detected. One “chirp” every 30 seconds will
be an indication that the battery is low or the unit is malfunctioning. In case of a low
battery level, replace the battery as soon as possible. As you install the battery, the unit
will sound “chirp” to indicate the battery is installed properly.
The red LED will flash in conjunction with the alarm beep. I.e., the red LED will flash during
an alarm and a low battery mode chirp.
Testing the detector
Press the test button on top of the smoke detector or on the inside “Test Button 1” (see
picture 1.2) for several seconds to test the detector’s electronics. The alarm will sound.
Note,
Do this weekly to ensure correct functioning.

Registering the Detector with the BSS880 Home Protector & Console
The detector can be registered in two different modes, being either as a Remote or as a
Sensor, the difference between these mode is explained below.
Remote mode
When set to Remote mode, the detector will act as a remote, which means it will always
trigger an alarm as soon as a fault is detected. The state of the console, being Armed or
Disarmed, will make no difference. You can change the mode with the “Mode Selector
Switch” showed in picture 1.2. Modes: Up is Remote Mode, down is Sensor Mode. When the
detector stops detecting smoke it will disarm the consoles alarm automatically.
Sensor mode
In Sensor mode the smoke detector will act as a door/window sensor. When the alarm is
disarmed and smoke is detected the smoke detector will sound an alarm and the console
will sound a chime (if enabled in the console). When the alarm is armed in “Away Mode”
and the smoke detector detects smoke both the alarm of the smoke detector and the alarm
of the console will sound (console will only sound alarm if enabled in the console). The
alarm of the console needs to be disabled with either the consoles PIN code or a remote.
