Function test
The RWM fundamentally checks itself and its environment. – We recommend in addition,
yourself carrying out
at least once a year
a
test
.
Extra SA servicing is not required.
Testing the RWM
Check the functionality of the RWM by pressing the user key until you can hear the signal
tone:
User key Signal sound Red LED
Press the user key until the
test alarm rings (1 second on, 1
second off) Test alarm with reduced volume Flashes every 2 seconds
!
Never use a naked flame or other types of smoke to test the RWM.
If no signal tone rings when the user key is pressed, the SA is faulty. - In this case,
please contact the Hotline as soon as possible: 0800 2 00 1264
(free of charge)
In addition, in the test, check
• check whether the casing is damaged.
• whether fire smoke can reach the RWM in an unhindered manner.
This can be hindered, for example, by the later installation of room partitions or virtually
ceiling-high cupboards, shelves or curtains. – If necessary, reinstallation or new installa-
tion must take place in this case.
Ensure the minimum clearance to walls, furnishings and fittings and so forth is at least
60 cm (in very confined spaces, e.g. in hallways the Techem technician can alter the
required minimum clearance setting in the radio frequency smoke alarm when installing
the device).
The minimum distance to objects (normally = 60 cm) comes from the normal require-
ments (= 50 cm) + measuring tolerance (= 10 cm).
• whether the RWM is fully covered or partially covered or taped over.
• whether the individual rooms are used differently.
Minimum installation requirement:
Install smoke alarms in bedrooms including children‘s bedrooms as well as in hallways
and rooms that serve as escape routes.
• whether RWMs are very dusty or, for example, are heavily soiled by cobwebs. The
smoke inlets (grey grating) must be free.
• whether subsequently fluorescent tubes, fireplaces, furnaces, fans, air conditioning
systems and/or ventilation devices have been installed close to the RWM.
In the event of deviations please contact the Hotline as soon as possible:
0800 2 00 1264 (free of charge).
