Electro-Detectors
indicate a “verify fail” fault, because the panel has lost communication with the device, or a battery fault will be
displayed. Should either of these be witnessed, the batteries should be changed immediately. If the unit detects a fault
with the battery a ‘battery fault’ will be indicated on the panel. Therefore:-
1.
Remove the detector from the base by rotating the detector anti-clockwise and separating the unit.
2.
Remove the power link.
3.
Remove the back plate by removing the two screws
4.
Remove the old battery pack.
5.
Fit the new battery pack making sure the battery’s pins are lined up and pressed down.
6.
Re-fit the back plate.
7.
Press and hold the unit removal and reset button simultaneously.
8.
With these buttons pressed down, fit the power link.
9.
Let the unit go into its log-on mode, (it will beep) and keep the buttons pressed down.
10.
After another 5 seconds a second BEEP will sound, at this point release the buttons. This will re-set the battery
counter after a further 15 minutes. If you realise that you didn’t want to reset the counter, then power the unit
down by removing the power pin. Leave for 5 seconds and re-apply the power. The counter will not reset.
11.
Refit the device onto its base.
Faults displayed on the control panel from smoke detectors:-
Low Battery:
The batteries are approaching their end of life. The unit will continue to operate for a further 60
days within which time the batteries should be changed.
Verify Fail:
The panel has lost communication with the device, this could be caused by the batteries being flat, the
unit failing to operate, something obstructing the radio signal path or the device not being installed correctly with an
adequate signal strength.
Battery Fault:
The unit has detected a problem with the battery.
Unit Removal:
If the unit is removed from its base, the panel will display a unit removal/tamper fault.
Tx/Rx Fault:
A failure with the transmit / receive module of the device. It is suggested that the fault should be reset
and if the same fault occurs within 60 minutes the unit be replaced.
Int Fault:
The unit has detected an internal problem with the way it is operating. There are several faults that can
cause this but the usual way of solving the problem is to replace the unit or return it for repair. It is suggested that
the fault should be reset and if the same fault occurs within 60 minutes the unit be replaced. The faults can relate to
the operation of the sensing head, if fitted, the micro-processor controlling the device, its internal memory and a
host more.
