powered from a single circuit.
• The SMK 23 has 2 external alignment marks to assist in lining up.
• If alarm is not being interconnected, the white interconnect cable from
the alarm is unused. Leave the encapsulated sheathing in place
• Connect flying leads from cable harness to terminal block.
• Secure base plate to SMK 23 or dry lining box, using screws provided.
• Plug in harness after pulling through central hole of base plate – if you
need to remove, squeeze on sides of connector.
• Check harness is secure into back of alarm.
• Slide on/off switch located on back of the alarm to “ON” position.
• Reinstall on alarm base plate affixed to wall or ceiling. When the alarm
is rotated onto its base, it will lock by default. To remove, insert a
screwdriver onto locking lug and depress and rotate alarm in “off” direc-
tion as illustrated.
• Push and release test button to verify battery operation.
• After connecting all alarms to be installed, reconnect mains supply and
check green L.E.D. is lit – indicating healthy AC supply.
•
AC power must be applied to the alarm to reset the battery protection
circuit which has been shut off for shipping purposes.
• Do not reconnect alarm to AC power with battery switch in “Off” position
as unit will beep every 15 seconds to alert you of flat/missing battery.
5. Battery Checking/Charging
Note:
This CO alarm is not battery operated. Battery backup will be limited
until the battery has fully charged. It may take up to 24 hours for the battery
backup to fully charge.
Warning:
Do not use any other type of rechargeable battery in your alarm
or attempt to recharge the battery pack yourself. Improper charging may
even cause the battery pack to overheat or leak, thus posing possible
injury to the user. The Lithium-Ion battery is to supply short term backup
during a power cut.
Do not attempt to replace the battery as the alarm has no user serviceable
parts. Opening the alarm will invalidate the guarantee and could expose
you to live parts.
(Digital model only), During the first 10-hour initial charge period or, until the battery
has charged, "Lb" will be displayed along with the CO level (usually "0") and without
an audible "chirp". When the initial charge is complete, the "Lb" will disappear. If
however, after 10 hours the battery is not charging properly, "Lb" may continue to
flash AND there will be an audible "chirp" once every 15 seconds indicating the bat-
tery is not charging.
The unit will notify you of a battery error condition by flashing the red
SERVICE LED, amber Low Battery LED, and beeping once every 15
seconds (and on the Digital model displaying “Lb”).
If this happens, the battery is discharged or has
been damaged. Ensure switch on back of unit is ON.
Ensure that AC power is being supplied to the unit. If
the unit has been without AC power, the battery
voltage will be low and needs to be recharged. Turn
the AC power on and the battery will automatically
re-charge. Note, a discharged battery will require
approximately 24 hours to fully charge and provide the maximum
protection while on battery-back-up.
If AC power is ON, and after 10 hours the red SERVICE LED and amber
Low Battery LED are still flashing, contact your Installer, landlord or Kidde
Fyrnetics.
6. Initial Checking and Testing of Alarm
• Having energised the circuit, press and release the test button. The
alarm should sound and all the other interconnected alarms will also
sound within a few seconds.
• Do this for all alarms.
• If any alarms do not sound, isolate the mains and recheck the cabling.
• Advise the house-holder as to how to test the alarms, referring to
enclosed Operator Manual.
