Using your smoke detector
Smoke Detection
When smoke is detected the device will activate for
a minimum of 10 seconds with a two tone alarm and
flashing LED for a local fire alarm. The detector will
send a radio signal to the control unit for activating a
system fire alarm.
• Pressing the test button when in an alarm
condition will silence the alarm for 10 minutes. It
will automatically resume smoke detection again
after this period.
• If the smoke density is still over the alarm
threshold, then the smoke detector will remain in
an alarm condition and it will repeat the local fire
alarm with a radio fire alarm signal to the control
unit.
Testing
• Smoke detector testing should be done on a
regular monthly basis. Pressing the test button will
make the LED flash, the audible sounder chime
and will send a radio test signal to the control unit
when the button is released. If nothing happens
after pressing the test button, it indicates the
batteries will need changing.
Recalibration
• The smoke detector might need recalibrating after
time to ensure it is working at its optimum. This is
done by pressing and holding the test button until
the LED flashes and beeps after 10 seconds. The
detector will then start its self calibration routine.

after being silenced with the help button.
• The system will require a reset at the control unit
after being silenced with the help button.
