5. TESTING THE SYSTEM
Test the full system using the test button of the alarms and or Deaf Alerts if
fitted.
1. Undo the alarm from the pattress without
disconnecting the wires and permanently
attach it to the chosen location.
See sec 4 para 2 above.
2. Fit all alarms to their own Radio Pattresses
by lining up as shown here:
3. Close the alarm onto the Radio Pattress
and turn the alarm clockwise to lock it into
place. This action automatically turns the
alarm on.
Press the test button on each alarm and wait for the other alarms to sound
before testing all other alarms in the same way. The alarm should sound
three times with a flashing red light then stop. Allow at least 5 seconds after
a successful test before testing the next one. After testing check that the
red light flashes approximately every minute. Test the alarm once a week to
ensure correct operation.
The
Radio Interlinked System
is now ready for use.
Do not change any components of the system for those made by other
manufacturers. Up to 15 alarms may be paired to the system.
WARNING:
The electronic test button provides a full test of the alarms
functionality. Do not try to test the alarm using either heat smoke or naked
flame as damage will occur.
6. USER INFORMATION
Protect your Home Against Fire
Contact your local Fire Brigade for a home safety check, this information is
free and will identify potential fire hazards in and around your home.
Make sure all occupants of the home know what a fire alarm sounds like.
Prove and practise a fire escape plan and arrange a suitable and safe assembly
point.
What to Do if the Alarms Sound
Alarms sounds are as follows:
\
Full alarm indicating Repeating series of 3 beeps every
••• ••• ••• •••
smoke and fire
4 seconds with flashing light
Low Battery
Single beep every minute
• • • •
Test button jammed
One beep every 11 seconds
• • • •
Fault
Double beep every minute
•• •• •• ••
Ensure everyone leaves the building as soon as possible.
• Do not run.
• Do not stop to collect belongs.
• If it is safe to do so, close all windows and doors as you escape to prevent
the spread of fire.
• Smoke is the main cause of death from fire. If trapped inside the building,
cover your mouth, conserve breath and crawl to safety.
Do not silence a fire alarm until you know the cause of the alarm
and when all occupants are safely outside the building.
Silencing an alarm
Do not silence a smoke alarm until you are certain there is no fire. The fire
alarm that has detected a fire will be flashing its red light in the centre of
the test button once every second, all other alarms in the system will just be
sounding.
To silence the fire alarm system, press the test button on any alarm in that
system. If one alarm continues to sound, it will be the one that has detected
a fire. Check for a fire in its area and for its flashing red light. ONLY if you are
certain there is no fire, press its test button to silence it. If you are not certain,
evacuate the property and call your fire and rescue service on 999.
7. ALARM MAINTENANCE
A regular program of fire alarm maintenance will help to keep your alarm in good
working order.
• Test the alarm weekly making sure that all interconnected alarms in the
system sound within 10 seconds.
• Vacuum the alarms every six months and wipe them with a damp cloth.
• Do not paint the alarm.
A fire alarm is a sensitive life-saving device. The life of this alarm can be
significantly reduced by adverse environments, incorrect location and a failure
to regularly clean and maintain it according to the instructions. Incorrect
location and a lack of reasonable care may also cause it to malfunction and
will invalidate the warranty.
8. TROUBLE SHOOTING
The battery in the alarm will last ten years and the battery in the pattress will
last seven years - they are both non-replaceable. At the end of its life the
alarm will beep once every minute for a minimum of one month.
The life of the battery can be significantly shortened by periods of storage
or use in temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C. It will also be shortened
by frequent or extended periods in full alarm often caused by conditions
such as cigarette smoke, steam, aerosol spray and condensation. In these
circumstances the warranty will be void.
If this happens at night you can press the test button to silence the battery
warning for 10 hours. Replace the alarm as soon as possible.
Problems are indicated in five ways;
1. The alarm beeps twice every minute indicating a malfunction.
2. The alarm beeps once every minute indicating a low battery.
3. The full alarm sounds for no reason. (A repeating series of three beeps with
flashing light)
4. The alarm does not sound when pressing the test button.
5. The test button light remains steadily on or off. (i.e. does not flash
approximately once every minute, when the unit is not in alarm)
Inspect for obvious damage. Check that the alarm has been installed in
accordance with the instructions. In the case of repeated nuisance alarms,
check that it is free from dust, cobwebs and external contamination from
such things as cigarette smoke, drying paint, spray from household aerosols
and steam that will ultimately shorten the life of the alarm and invalidate the
warranty.
If this does not correct the problem, do NOT attempt to repair. There are
no user serviceable parts internally. If the smoke alarm is within the warranty
period and terms, indicate the nature of the problem and return the unit with
proof of purchase to the address at the end of this manual. Units beyond
warranty cannot be economically repaired.
