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 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.
Using your Help Button
Activate an Alarm
• Press and hold the red button for at least 3
seconds. The LED will light momentarily and the
alarm will be activated.
Silence an Alarm
• Press and hold down the red button for 10
seconds. The LED will light momentarily for a
second time and the alarm will be silenced.
• Please note that silencing the alarm with the help
button does not reset the system. If the alarm is
armed prior to activation, the system will re-arm
after being silenced with the help button.
• The system will require a reset at the control unit
after being silenced with the help button.
