UNPLUGGING FROM THE
MAINS/POWER CUT
The way in which the Strobe and Pad alerts a warning
is the same for both alarm types, i.e. the Strobe will
flash and the Pad will vibrate in exactly the same way,
irrespective of whether the alarm is triggered by a
smoke alarm or a CO alarm.
If both smoke and CO alarms are in “alarm” mode, only
the smoke LED will flash.
NOTE:
The Strobe will stop flashing, the red LED will
cease to flash and the Vibrating Pad will stop vibrating
when the alarm sending the signal has been reset or
has stopped if the danger is no longer present.
Only reset an alarm if you are certain there is no
imminent danger from Fire or Carbon Monoxide.
Locate Feature
When the network is in alarm mode, pressing the test
button on any unit in the network will silence all other
alarms in the network, for a period of 2 minutes, except
the alarm that has sensed smoke or carbon monoxide.
This will enable the instigating alarm to be identified/
located. If necessary, the instigating alarm can then be
silenced.
The Strobe and Pad is designed to be mains powered.
The internal rechargeable battery will still provide
power if the mains is disconnected. A fully charged
battery will allow the Strobe and Pad to continue to
operate for three days. NB: Only use the battery supplied
in the pack or a genuine FireAngel replacement. Other
rechargeable batteries may damage the equipment or
create a safety hazard.
WARNING:
When the mains power is disconnected,
the green power LED will no longer illuminate and the
amber (fault) LED will double flash every 5 seconds.
Plug the Strobe back into the mains as soon as possible
to recharge the battery and maintain operation.
If the amber LED is flashing once every 5 seconds
when the green power LED is off then URGENTLY
restore power to unit as battery status is very low, and
may fail to operate in an alarm situation.
NOTE:
Once the Strobe is plugged back into the mains,
the amber (fault) LED will continue to flash once every
5 seconds until the battery has fully recharged.
