What happens if the unit beeps continually, immediately after initial installation?
If the unit has been wired correctly and a fully charged battery installed and this beep persists then this could be an
indication that the smoke alarm is faulty. Please contact your supplier for a replacement and return the suspected
faulty unit for testing.
6.
What does it mean if the red light is on?
Red Light will remain on for up to 15 minutes after initial power up or alarm reset. This is the alarm
calibrating itself. It will go off once calibrated.
7.
What does the green light mean?
The alarm is connected to a 240v power source.
8.
What happens if you change the battery and the unit does a double beep followed by a triple beep after about 15
minutes?
This can be because the hush or test button was pressed whilst closing the detector again. The smoke
detector should revert back to normal operation after about 15 minutes. Make sure it is working correctly.
9.
How do I replace the battery?
a)
Run your hand around the outer circumference of the smoke alarm in an anti-clockwise direction
until you feel the protrusion on the side of the smoke alarm.
b)
Apply pressure to the tab in the same anti clockwise direction, the body of the smoke alarm will
disconnect from the base and swing down hinged to the opposite side of the tab.
c)
Once hanging down you may either replace the battery whilst the smoke alarm is still attached to
the fixed base or open the alarm further to release it from the base altogether.
d)
Remove the old battery from the alarm, check the polarity (+&-) on the new battery and match this
to same on the alarm.
e)
Clip the lip back into the base and allow the alarm to reset
