HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
ALARM SMART SILENCE
TM
DANGER: If your smoke alarm emits the full
alarm signal and you are not testing the unit,
the smoke alarm is warning you of a
potentially dangerous situation that requires
your immediate attention. Only use the alarm
silence function after making sure that there
is no ongoing fire emergency situation. Do
not block the vents on the alarm or disable
the smoke alarm in any way, as this will
remove your protection. Smoke alarms can
sometimes react to cooking fumes or other
non emergency situations. Your smoke alarm
features “Smart Silence” technology. In the
event of a known false alarm your smoke
alarm can be temporarily silenced by
pressing the central test button. Your alarm
will automatically return to full sensitivity
within 10 minutes.
Note: If the level of smoke reaching the
alarm is very high, the alarm silence will be
overridden and the alarm will continue to
sound.
• Press and release the silence button, the
alarm sound will shortly stop.
• Your alarm will silence and enter into a
reduced sensitivity reset cycle for
approximately 10 minutes.
• During the reduced sensitivity reset cycle,
the red LED on your alarm will continue to
flash more rapidly than normal,
approximately once every second.
• Your alarm will automatically return to full
sensitivity on completion of the reset cycle
and the red LED will revert to flashing
once every 40 seconds.
DANGER: Never ignore any alarm. Ignoring
the alarm may result in injury or death. If your
smoke alarm activates and alarms and you
are not absolutely certain of the source of the
smoke, get everyone out of the caravan
immediately.
LOW BATTERY WARNING SILENCE
Low battery warnings often start at night or
when it maybe inconvenient to replace your
alarm. You can silence the audible chirp for a
period of 8 hours by pressing the test button.
Your smoke alarm will still detect smoke
during this time of low battery warning silence.
However, it is recommended that you replace
your alarm immediately and certainly within 7
days, as your alarm may then have insufficient
power to warn you of a real fire situation after
this time.
WARNING: Your smoke alarm cannot be
silenced if the chirp is indicating a fault. In
this instance, the unit should be replaced
immediately to ensure protection in the
event of a fire.
