/ ABAX system, the low battery info is sent during each transmission to the controller / control
panel.
Working in ABAX 2 / ABAX system
Radio communication
The detector connects to the controller / control panel at regular time intervals to provide
information about its state (periodical communication). Additional communication takes place
in the case of alarm (smoke is sensed by the detector) or tamper (tamper switch has been
opened) and after restore of alarm (smoke is sensed no more by the detector) or tamper
(tamper switch has been closed).
Test mode
The test mode makes diagnostics of the detector easier, because the detector LED indicates
periodical communication and alarm memory. How to start and end the test mode is
described in the ABAX 2 / ABAX controller manual / the INTEGRA 128-WRL control panel
manual.
The alarm memory is cleared after ending the test mode.
Energy saving mode (ECO)
If you want to prolong the battery life, you can enable in the detector the “ECO” option. When
the “ECO” option is enabled, the periodical communication takes place every 3 minutes. Thus
the battery life can be increased as much as fourfold. The option is only available in the
ABAX 2 system.
3. Selecting a mounting location
The detector is designed for indoor installation.
The detector should be installed in location close to the building / apartment exit (e.g. in
the hall, lobby etc. – Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
In the typical home or office applications, the detector should be installed on the ceiling,
as close as possible to the center of the room, at a distance of at least 0.5 meters from
the walls or other objects (Fig. 5).
Do not install the detector in places with high concentration of dust and/or formation and
condensation of water steam.
Do not install the detector near heaters, cookers, fans or air-conditioner outlets.
Do not install the detector in places where there is no unobstructed movement of air (e.g.
in recesses, niches, etc.).
If the detector is to be used as part of the ABAX 2 / ABAX system, it is not advisable to
install it in close vicinity of electrical systems, because it can adversely affect the range of
radio signal.
