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. Remove the transport safety device (discharge protection for the battery) on the
negative battery terminal of the detector (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
344 seconds (about 6 minutes) 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. By testing the device electronics, the
mute function is automatically activated for 9 minutes, during which time the
LED will flash once every 10 seconds. After this 9-minute period, the detector will
automatically return to normal operating mode, in which the LED will again flash
once approximately every 6 minutes.
• 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.
Attention, loud alarm sound, hearing protection use!
Putting into operation
Replacing the battery
• If the battery is low, the smoke detector beeps once every 43 seconds (for up
to 30 days) to remind you to replace the battery.
• You must change this battery when you hear this signal.
• Loosen the detector from the detector base by turning it in an anticlockwise
direction, remove the old battery and insert a new battery into the detector with
the correct polarity (see diagram 1).
• 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:
• RWM50: DESAY CR123A, Ramway CR123A, Duracell Ultra 123
• RWM100: EVE CR123A, PAIRDEER CR123A
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.
What to do if there is a false alarm?
A false alarm can occur due to very high air humidity, the build-up of smoke whilst
cooking or a large build-up of dust, or smallest insects for example.
• If the alarm sounds, first get yourself to safety. If you are certain that it is a false
alarm, you can switch the alarm mute for about 9 minutes by pressing the
test/stop button.
