5. Installation/mounting
1. Detach the mounting plate by twisting it anti-clockwise.
2. Insert a battery and connect the battery terminal.
The red light should now come on and the alarm will sound
for a short while. If the alarm sounds the functions are
working, and the alarm is now ready for installation.
Handy hint:
Before attaching the mounting plate to
the ceiling, you should make sure that the radio signal is
within the range of any other interconnected alarms.
Try changing the position of one or several of the alarms if
they are out of range (refer to
Test and maintenance
).
3. Screw the mounting plate onto the ceiling using the provided screws.
4. Reattach the alarm to the mounting plate.
6. Functions
Alarm/Pre-alarm
When a smoke alarm detects a fire it emits a “full alarm” (continuous beeping) and
begins sending radio signals to the other alarms on the same code.
The alarms which receive a radio signal start to emit a “pre-alarm” (one beep every
6 seconds) for 30 seconds so that you have a chance to localize the detecting alarm
or turn off any accidentally triggered alarms.
An alarm can be turned off in two ways
• Pressing the test button of a secondary alarm will cause that alarm to stop sounding
immediately (however other alarms will continue for as long as the primary alarm
detects smoke).
• Pressing the test button of the primary alarm, this stops the primary alarm from
sounding immediately and turns the other alarms off after a delay of 25–40 seconds.
Memory
The primary smoke alarm which initiated the alarm has a memory that is indicated by
a double flash and a short beep every 8th second for 12 hours. This signal can be
stopped by pressing the alarm’s test button.
Pause function (reduced sensitivity)
If you suspect that the smoke alarm might be about to go off (by smoke or steam from
a kitchen), press the test button once briefly to temporarily reduce the sensitivity of
the alarm for roughly 10 minutes (thereafter the alarm will return to full sensitivity).
