If connecting to a mains Junction Box
It is preferable to permanently wire the unit into a mains junction box. In this case remove the
plug and wire as follows.
Warning: If the plug is being removed and the unit is being wired to a junction box it should be
installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the Regulations for Electrical Installations
published by the Institute of Engineering & Technology (UK) BS7671. Failure to install this
system correctly may expose the user to shock or fire hazards.
First remove the power to the circuit at the distribution board.
The mains lead wires are colour coded as follows:
Brown: Live
Blue:
Neutral
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal/wire which is marked with
the letter N or coloured blue.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal/wire which is marked with
the letter L or coloured brown.
The apparatus is not to be earthed, so no connection is to be made to terminals or wires marked
with the letter E, the symbol
or coloured green or green/yellow.
The Strobe Module must not be exposed to dripping or splashing and items filled with liquids such as
vases must not be placed on or above the apparatus.
3. SETTING UP THE RadioLINK SYSTEM
This system uses radio to communicate between the Fire Alarms, Accessories and the Strobe Module.
It is set-up simply by putting all of the units into “House Code Mode” and letting them automatically
code with each other. This will “House Code” the installation so that they will not accidentally signal to,
or be affected by, nearby systems.
The units will all communicate with each other (providing they are within range), as delivered i.e.
without any House Coding - however it is recommended that they are House Coded as follows:
3.1.1 Install & power all the elements of the system.
3.1.2 Press the House Code switch on all units – see individual instruction leaflets for switch locations.
On the Strobe Module, the House Code switch is pressed by means of small screwdriver (or similar,
diameter of top less than 3mm), through the access hole on the top of the unit – see figure 4.
3.1.3 Press and hold the Strobe Module House Code button until the blue RadioLINK light comes on.
Release it and the light will flash every five seconds.
3.1.4 When all units are set into ‘House Code Mode’ they should signal to each other and set-up their
network automatically.
3.1.5 Each unit will now flash its blue or amber light to show how many units it is RadioLINKED with. If the
Strobe Module is linked to just one smoke alarm they will both flash twice. With 6 units for example, 4 Smoke
Alarms, 2 Strobe Modules, each unit will flash six times. A maximum of twelve RF units can be linked this
way.
3.1.6 If some units flash less than the expected number of times, after being in House Code Mode for
over 10 minutes) they are out of range of each other.
Follow the advice in the RadioLINK instructions supplied with the other alarms to resolve this.
3.1.7 The units will automatically exit the House Code Mode after 30 minutes. However we recommend
that you manually exit the House Code Mode by pressing and holding the House Code switch on the
