Contaminants:
To ensure a long life for your smoke detector, make sure it stays clean and it does not
accumulate dust.
•
All smoke detectors are sensitive to the ingress of dust and insects that
can cause false alarms.
•
Even though during the development process great importance was
attached to minimising the influence of contamination, it is impossible to
exclude all negative influences.
•
All insects or cobwebs near the smoke detector should be removed
immediately.
•
Do not use liquids for cleaning, as penetration into the housing may
damage the smoke detector.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the alarm panel’s surface, then dry it.
•
To clean the slots, please use the brush attachment of your vacuum
cleaner carefully or blow out the dust (e.g. with a compressor).
•
The KATHREIN Digital Systems GmbH is not liable for contaminations. This
is considered normal wear.
Maintenance:
•
The function of the smoke detector should be checked regularly (Learn
button) and, if necessary, cleaned.
•
To ensure proper function of the smoke detector it is recommended to
check the smoke detector immediately after installation. Press the "Learn
button" for this check:
o
2 short beeps:
Function OK
o
3 beeps:
Sensor defect or dirty
o
No sound:
Inactive or defect
o
Check, if the smoke detector is present in the sensor list of the alarm
panel and that its status and battery status are displayed green.
•
The smoke detector should be replaced after ten years at the latest for
your own safety.
•
Over time, dust particles collect in the measuring chamber, which would
reduce fault tolerance. The smoke detector therefore calibrates itself
regularly.
