MAINTAINING / TESTING
YOUR DETECTOR
Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potentially
hazardous CO concentrations in your home
when maintained properly. To maintain your
FireAngel detector in proper working order,
and to ensure that the sensor will last for the
lifetime of the product, it is recommended
that you:
•
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry
of your detector at least once per week by
pressing the Test/Reset button briefly (see
page 9).
•
Perform the Sensor Test annually (see
page 9).
•
Keep the detector free of dust by gently
vacuuming the case with a soft brush
attachment when required.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating
the sensor in your detector and thus affecting
its reliability:
•
Never use cleaning solutions on your
detector. Simply wipe with a slightly damp
cloth.
•
Do not paint the detector.
•
Do not spray aerosols on or near the
detector.
•
Do not use any solvent based products
near the detector.
•
If installing in a caravan there maybe other
substances present, that may not normally
be found in the home, that could effect
the reliability of the CO alarm. Avoid using
the following in close proximity to the
alarm; oils, cleaning fluids, polishes, paints
and greases.
•
Move the detector to a safe location and
store in a plastic bag before painting,
wall papering, or performing any other
activities using substances that emit
strong fumes. Remember to remove it
from the bag and replace the detector
when these activities are finished.
Failure of any test should be reported to
the technical support line (see page 19 for
contact details).
Do not attempt to repair your CO detector.
Do not remove any screws or open the main
casing of your detector. Any attempt to do
so may cause malfunction and will invalidate
the warranty.
