functionality. Do not try to test the alarm using either heat, smoke, or naked
flame as damage will occur.
6. USER INFORMATION
Protect your Home Against Fire
Contact you local Fire Brigade for a home safety check, this information is
free and will identify potential fire hazards in and around your home.
Make sure all occupants of the home know what a fire alarm sounds like.
Prove and practise a fire escape plan and arrange a suitable and safe
assembly point.
What to Do if the Alarms Sound
Alarms sounds are as follows:
Full alarm indicating
smoke and fire
Repeating series of 3 beeps every
4 seconds with flashing light
Low battery
Single beep every minute
Test button jammed
One beep every 11 seconds
Fault
Double beep every minute
Ensure everyone leaves the building as soon as possible.
•
Do not run.
•
Do not stop to collect belongs.
•
If it is safe to do so, close all windows and doors as you escape to
prevent the spread of fire.
•
Smoke is the main cause of death from fire. If trapped inside the building,
cover your mouth, conserve breath and crawl to safety.
Do not silence a fire alarm until you know the cause of the alarm and
when all occupants are safely outside the building.
7. ALARM MAINTENANCE
A regular program of fire alarm maintenance will help to keep your alarm in
good working order.
•
Test the alarm monthly making sure that all interconnected alarms in the
system sound within 10 seconds.
•
Vacuum the alarms every six months and wipe them with a damp cloth.
•
Do not paint the alarm.
A smoke alarm is a sensitive life-saving device. The life of this alarm can
be significantly reduced by adverse environments, incorrect location and a
failure to regularly clean and maintain it according to the instructions. Incorrect
location and a lack of reasonable care may also cause it to malfunction and will
invalidate the warranty.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
The battery will last 10 years and is not replaceable. At the end of its life the
alarm will beep once every minute for a minimum of one month.
The life of the battery can be significantly shortened by periods of storage
or use in temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C. It will also be shortened
by frequent or extended periods in full alarm often caused by conditions
such as cigarette smoke, steam, aerosol spray and condensation. In these
circumstances the warranty will be void.
If this happens at night you can press the test button to silence the battery
warning for 10 hours. Replace the alarm as soon as possible.
Problems are indicated in five ways:
•
The alarm beeps twice every minute indicating a malfunction.
•
The alarm beeps once every minute indicating a low battery.
•
The full alarm sounds for no reason. (A repeating series of three beeps
with flashing light)
•
The alarm does not sound when pressing the test button.
•
The test button light remains steadily on or off. (i.e. does not flash
approximately once every minute, when the unit is not in alarm)
Inspect for obvious damage. Check that the alarm has been installed in
accordance with the instructions. In the case of repeated nuisance alarms, check
that it is free from dust, cobwebs and external contamination from such things as
cigarette smoke, drying paint, spray from household aerosols and steam that will
ultimately shorten the life of the alarm and invalidate the warranty.
If this does not correct the problem, do NOT attempt to repair. There are no user
serviceable parts internally. If the smoke alarm is within the warranty period
and terms, indicate the nature of the problem and return the unit with proof of
purchase to the address at the end of this manual. Units beyond warranty cannot
be economically repaired.
