inserted since the smoke detector V2 adapts to the conditions at the place of
installation (e.g. amount of dust in the air).

After the warm-up phase (six minutes) the calibration phase starts. The calibration
phase takes between two and sixteen minutes and every 100 seconds, the smoke
detector V2 emits a brief signal. At the end of the calibration phase, two brief
signals are emitted if the calibration was successful. If an error occurred, a
continuous sound will notify you. If this is the case, remove the batteries and begin
anew from step 1.

During the calibration phase, the smoke detector cannot be added to the alarm
panel. This has to be done before or after the calibration phase.
Range test:
1.
Open the alarm panel menu “Sensors”

“Range” and press “Start.”
2.
Press the learn button.
3.
The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the indicated
number the better the reception (1-9).
Please note:
If the signal strength at the place of installation is below 4, we advise to use a repeater,
since it is normal that the signal strength may fluctuate for 2-3 points, thus, a signal
loss is possible.
In case of an alarm:
If the smoke concentration exceeds the limit, the smoke detector V2 will notify the alarm
panel and sound an alarm for ten seconds. If the smoke concentration is still too high
after ten seconds, the smoke detector will again sound an alarm for ten seconds. This will
continue until the smoke concentration drops to an acceptable value. Simultaneously, the
alarm panel will notify you via all activated alarm methods (e.g. sirens, SMS, push
notification, etc.).
If the smoke detector V2 sounds an alarm but you see no signs of a fire or smoke, you
should still assume that it is a legit alarm and leave the building immediately.
False alarms / troubleshooting
If the smoke detector V2 triggers an alarm for no apparent reason:

The alarm of the smoke detector needs to be confirmed directly at the smoke
detector.
o
Press the learn button of the smoke detector V2 to activate the rest mode.
After 10 minutes, the smoke detector V2 emits two notification sounds and
continuous to operate normally again.

The acoustic alarm of the alarm panel and the sirens is ended by disarming the
alarm panel (even if the alarm panel is already disarmed).

Look out for steam from your kitchen of bathroom that could have reached the
smoke detector V2 via your ventilation. In addition, different kinds of steam or the
evaporation of paint could be a source of an alarm.

Open fireplaces or cigarette smoke can trigger an alarm.

Check the smoke detector V2 for cobwebs or dust. Clean the smoke detector V2
as described in the chapter “Cleaning” below.

If the smoke detector V2 continuous to trigger false alarms, you need to move the
smoke detector V2 further away from the source of the above-mentioned
