6.2 Alarm
• In the event of an alarm - as soon as the smoke
detector detects combustion particles or when
carrying out the simulation (see
7.2. Alarm
simulation
) - the
LED
flashes once per second
and an alarm signal sounds.
Alarm signal: sustained pulsating tone
(BI 0.5s - Pause 0.5s - BI 0.5s - Pause 0.5s -
wBI 0.5s - Pause 1.5s)
• The alarm continues until the smoke detector no
longer detects combustion particles in the air,
you - in the event of a false alarm - activate mute
mode (see
6.4. Mute mode
) or end the alarm
simulation.
Warning
The triggering of an alarm always requires
your immediate attention and the taking of
appropriate action!
6.3 What to do in the event of an alarm
(recommendation)
Save yourself and others
• Keep calm!
• Warn other family members and/or fellow
residents!
• Now leave the house immediately and close all
doors and windows of your escape route - if this
can be done safely - to slow down the spread of
smoke and
fi
re.
• After leaving the house, go to your agreed
assembly point and make sure that everyone has
left the house.
Call the fire brigade
Call the
fi
re brigade as soon as you are safe.
Attempts to extinguish
Only attempt to extinguish the
fi
re yourself if you do
not endanger yourself (or others) and if you have
suitable extinguishing agents.
6.4 Mute mode (in the case of a false alarm)
Warning
Before activating mute mode, clarify the cause of
the alarm and make sure that there is no further
danger!
Note
• Cigarette smoke will not normally trigger the
alarm unless the smoke is blown directly into
the smoke detector.
Note
• Water vapour produced during cooking can
trigger an alarm if the smoke detector is
located near cooking points.
• If an alarm is triggered, check whether it is
actually an emergency.
• If there is
fi
re or smoke, call the
fi
re brigade or
act as in
6.3. What to do in the event of
an alarm (recommendation)
.
• Once you have ensured that it is a false alarm,
press the
TEST
button on the smoke detector to
silence the alarm for about 10 minutes.
• The red LED will then
fl
ash once every 8 seconds to
indicate that the smoke detector is in mute mode.
• The smoke detector is automatically reset after
approx. 10 minutes. If smoke particles are still
present after this period, the alarm is triggered
again.
• Mute mode can be operated repeatedly.
7. Care and maintenance
7.1 Testing
Press the
TEST
button on the smoke detector. The
signal sound is heard when the electronics, sensor,
siren and battery are working.
Note
• Immediately replace smoke detectors that no
longer function correctly with new devices.
• It is recommended to test the unit weekly to
ensure proper functioning.
• Test the smoke detecto
ONLY
using the
TEST
button. Never use an open
fl
ame, lighters, etc.
to simulate an alarm and test the function.
