Putting into operation
16
1. Loosen the smoke detector from the base of the housing by turning it anticlockwise.
Mark the drill holes through the base.
2. Drill the holes, put in the plugs and screw in the base.
3. Insert the battery (see the diagram
) and fasten the smoke detector by twisting it
clockwise onto the base. The detector has a safety device that prevents installation
without a battery.
4. If you cannot fasten the smoke detector to the base:
Check whether the battery is correctly inserted and connected.
Operation and function test
The smoke detector is ready for use as soon as you put in the battery.
Under the housing cover there is an indicator lamp which flashes every 47 seconds
to show that the battery is correctly inserted and is delivering enough power to
generate an alarm.
Check the function of the smoke detector at regular intervals. Press the lower section
of the housing cover for 5 seconds. If you hear a signal, the device is working
properly and can be fastened.
Alternatively, you can use the RM test spray available from ABUS to test the smoke
detector. If the RM test spray enters the detection chamber, an alarm should sound,
so that you can test whether the detector is working properly.
Replacing the battery
If the battery is low, the smoke detector beeps once every minute (for up to 30 days)
to remind you to replace the battery.
You must change this battery when you hear this signal.
Even so, the smoke detector remains functional in this condition.
You must test the smoke detector each time you change the battery.
Carry out the test as detailed above.
Note
To ensure a long service life and reliable operation, we recommend using the
following high-quality batteries:
HSRM 10000: Alkaline 9 V block battery
HSRM 11000: Ultralife U9VL-J
Alarms and error signals
When the alarm threshold is exceeded, a loud alarm sounds.
The alarm continues sounding as long as there is smoke in the detection chamber.
The alarm is only switched off when there is no more smoke in the detection chamber.
