Symbol description
Aligning the aerials
Ensure that the radio transmitter unit aerials are aligned as
parallel as possible with the radio control centre and repeater
aerials.
When positioning the radio transmitter units, make sure that
their batteries are placed behind the transmitter and receiver
aerials, and not directly between them.
• Put the smoke detector onto the PROTECTOR K radio
module and turn the smoke detector in a clockwise direction
until it clicks into place.
Make sure that the connecting cables
(Fig. 1.3)
are on the
side of the box so as not to impair the radio range.
•
Provisionally
fix the PROTECTOR K radio module in place
using adhesive tape, for example.
• Then press the test button (for up to 20 seconds) until the
smoke detector alarm is activated.
Check the LEDs on the radio control centre.
The
red alarm LED (1 – 8)
corresponding to the pre-programmed
detector circuit should light up and the control centre buzzer
should emit a continuous tone.
3.3 Using the PROTECTOR radio system test receiver to test the system
The PROTECTOR radio system test receiver (not included –
available as an accessory) provides reliable information about
radio link quality.
• Radio wave transmission range depends on various
constantly changing environmental factors (see the
supplementary sheet entitled „Notes on radio operation“).
By measuring the radio link quality, you can determine the
best possible location in which to position your radio
transmitter units and radio control centre. Moving a radio
transmitter unit or the radio control centre just 30 cm to the
right or left can alter the transmission range.
• If moving the radio transmitter unit and/or radio control
centre does not improve the transmission range, position a
PROTECTOR radio signal repeater (not included – available
as an accessory, depending on the country) as centrally as
possible between the radio control centre and the radio
transmitter unit.
Note: Only one PROTECTOR radio signal repeater can be used for each
radio home smoke detection system.
Refer also to the ESYLUX PROTECTOR radio signal repeater‘s
user instructions.
• Then test the radio link quality again with the PROTECTOR
radio signal repeater.
3.4 Final installation
• Once you have determined the best possible positions for all
your radio transmitter units and for the radio control centre,
fix the radio transmitter units permanently in place.
• After starting up the system and briefing the customer,
we recommend that you fit the radio transmitter units with
9 V lithium batteries (Ultralife U9VL) to ensure that the
batteries last as long as possible.
3.5 Enhancing the radio system
• An additional radio transmitter unit can be registered in one
of the following ways: fit the batteries into the radio
transmitter unit, perform a test alarm or wait at least 1 hour
for the periodical status report to automatically acknowledge
and store the unit.
3.6 Removing an item from the radio system
• If you wish to remove a radio transmitter unit from the
system, you cannot just remove it, as the radio control centre
will register a problem with the radio link and permanently
display an error LED. You must therefore also fully disable
the radio control centre (remove the power supply unit and
battery). This will cancel all the radio transmitter units. Once
the radio control centre has been switched back on, these
units must be re-registered.
4 • IMPORTANT NOTES
As radio waves have particular characteristics, also read the
supplementary sheet entitled „Notes on radio operation“.
• Do not use in areas with extreme temperature variations or
in damp rooms.
• Respect the minimum distance between radio transmitter
units
(Fig. 2)
.
• Do not place near power-consuming equipment.
Radio transmission range and interference can be affected by:
• Foil-coated wool, aluminium foil, cladding and metal
window panes.
NOTE: Carry out regular functional tests in accordance with
the device‘s instructions. Test it again if the environmental
conditions change (e.g. new floors, new or moved furniture,
lights, construction changes, etc.) and after replacing the
battery.
5 • TESTING / MAINTENANCE
• Press and hold the test button to trigger the smoke detector‘s
alarm. To do this, refer to the smoke detector‘s instructions.
• Test the associated circuits on the radio control centre.
The
red alarm LEDs (1 – 8)
for the relevant detector circuits
should light up.
• Press the RESET button on the radio control centre to reset
the alarms and displays.
• Replace flat batteries immediately.
• Test the equipment after replacing the battery.
