5. Interconnected Alarms only - Test the first unit by 

pressing the button for 10 seconds. All the units 

should alarm within 10 seconds of the first horn 

sounding.  The red light on the first unit only will flash 

about once a second. On releasing the button the 

local Alarm will stop sounding immediately and the 

remote Alarms will stop sounding approximately 3 

seconds later (if testing using RF interconnection 

this could take slightly longer). This will verify that 

the interconnect is working. Check all the other units 

similarly.

6. Check the functioning of the mains battery back-up 

directly after installation and then at least yearly as 

follows:

- Turn off the mains power at the distribution board and 

check that the green indicator light is extinguished.

- Press the test button and ensure the horn sounds 

loudly  for 10 seconds.

Turn on the mains supply at the distribution board only if 

the unit passes the above test.
Note: If the mains is disconnected and the battery is 

almost depleted the unit will beep every 40 seconds for 

at least 30 days.
7. Monitor the Alarm over a short period of time for any 

beeps.

Switching off Mains for long periods

If the premises are regularly being left without mains 

power for long periods the Smoke/Heat Alarms should be 

removed from their mounting plates to prevent the batteries 

becoming fully depleted. (This is sometimes done with 

holiday homes which are only occupied in the Summer). 
The Alarms must be re-attached to the mounting plates 

when the premises are re-occupied.

If the unit is beeping:

 

Before replacing the battery, 

check that the beeps are not due to one of the following:
(i) battery snaps not connected properly.
(ii) On the Optical Smoke Alarm only (Ei146RC) if the 

unit beeps and the red light does not flash at the same 

time it indicates a problem with the smoke chamber - see 

Cleaning Your Alarm

” section.

(iii) If the beeps have continued for over 20 minutes (and 

the other causes of beeps have been ruled out - see 

Troubleshooting

” section) the battery must be replaced.

See “

Changing the Battery

” section.

Cleaning your Alarm

If all of the above possible causes of beeps have been 

ruled out, but the beeping has still persisted for over 2 

hours with the green light on - replace the Alarm. The 

Smoke / Heat Alarm can be returned to the manufacturer 

for repair or replacement - see “

Service and Guarantee

” 

section.

WARNING: 

Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect the AC 

mains at the fuse box or circuit breaker powering the 

Alarm before following the cleaning instructions.
Clean your Alarm regularly, particularly in dusty areas.

Use the narrow nozzle attachment of your vacuum 

cleaner to remove dust, insects and cobwebs from the 

sides and cover slots where the smoke or heat enters. 

To clean the cover, wipe with a damp cloth. Dry cover 

thoroughly with a lint free cloth.

WARNING: Do not paint your Alarm
