DANGER
Danger from malfunction!
In the event of a battery error
message / contamination message, the
smoke alarm device may only con-
tinue to provide its reliable warning
performance for max. 60 days.
f
It is necessary to replace the
smoke alarm device before the
remaining 60 days have passed.

tone will sound every 90 seconds (see
chapter 12 „Alarm and alert tones“ on
page 76). Proceed as follows:
(1)
Press testing / stop button to turn
off the battery error message for
24 hours.
(2)
Replace the device.
Contamination message
A contamination message is triggered
when the readjustment of the detection
electronics is no longer possible due to
heavy soiling.
With the contamination message, a dou-
ble tone will sound every 90 seconds (see
chapter 12 „Alarm and alert tones“ on
page 76). Proceed as follows:
(1)
Press testing / stop button to turn off
the contamination message for 24 hours.
(2)
Replace the device.
Alarm without cause of fire
An alarm without fire is triggered under
the following circumstances;
•
Regular development of dust
in residential areas that are
promoted by textiles (e.g., carpets,
clothing, blankets and pillows).
•
Pollen, construction, grinding or fine dust.
•
Insects or micro-organisms
that have overcome the insect
barriers of the device.
•
Strong cooking, water and / or
frying fumes and room, fragrance
and insect repellent sprays.
•
Extreme temperature fluctuations
or very strong electromagnetic
radiation in close proximity
influence the device.
Cigarette smoke triggers an alarm
only in the immediate vicini-
ty and at a high concentration.
You can take the following corrective
measures:
f
Stop alarm (see chapter 6.10 „Alarm
stop“ on page 66).
f
Ensure adequate ventilation of the
installation location.
f
Handle the device with care and
clean it regularly, e.g., with a vacuum
cleaner.
f
Inform neighbours about an alarm
without cause of fire, so that they
will not falsely alert fire brigade.
