Red Indicator
When the red LED indicator flashes once in 30 seconds, it indicates the detector is under normal operation. When the red
LED flashes very frequently and an audible alarm sounds simultaneously, it indicates that the detector senses smoke.
The red LED behaves according to one of the following set modes:
Mode 1: The red LED indicator will not reset automatically at the end of an alarm event.
This means that after the smoke chamber is cleared, the audible alarm will stop
automatically, but the red LED indicator will continue to flash, until it is manually restored
by the user. To restore – press the test button for 2-3 seconds, the LED will stop flashing.
Mode 2 (Default): The red LED will reset automatically at the end of an alarm event.
The user can check to which mode the detector is defined and switch between modes.
•
To check the mode, press the Test button. The red LED will light up. If the red
LED lights up continuously the detector is in Mode 1. If the red LED is blinking
the detector is in Mode 2.
•
To switch from one mode to another, press the Test button for 8 seconds. The
buzzer will sound and the red LED will change its behavior either from a
continuous light to a blinking light or from a blinking light to a continuous light.
Taking Care of Your Smoke Detector
To keep your detector in good working condition, you must test the detector weekly, according to the “Testing Your
Smoke Detector” section.
Cleaning the Smoke Detector
1.
Clean the housing with a dry or damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. If necessary, open the smoke chamber and
clean the interior of the detector.
2. Remove the detector from the detector base.
3. Remove the batteries.
4. Using a flat screwdriver release the smoke detector cover.
5. Using a flat screwdriver lift the smoke chamber housing slightly.
6. Use a fine paintbrush to remove dirt from the chamber.
7. After cleaning, close the smoke chamber, fix the housing and remount the detector on the ceiling.
Do not forget to change the batteries!
Battery Replacement
Replace the detector batteries once a year or immediately when the low battery “beep” signal sounds once every 35
seconds. The low-battery "beep" should last at least 30 days before the batteries die out completely.
If false alarms keep coming from the detector, you should check whether the detector’s
location is adequate. Refer to section “WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS.” Have
your detector moved if it is not located properly. Clean the detector as described above.
