3. Troubleshooting
If the units fail any of the
abov
e tests after
installation
,
the
sys
tem has probably been
in
corre
c
tly wired
and
/o
r
all units
are not
connected
.
Check all wiring carefully. If the
gree
n
power lights on the
smok
e alarm and/or the
c
ontrol panel
ar
e
5
(i) Ensure the control panel has been mains powered for at
l
e
ast the previous 20 hours for the battery to
charge
.
(ii)
Turn off the mains power to the control panel by unplug-
ging
it
or switching
off
the circuit at the distribution
board
.
Check that the green light goes off
a
nd the red
li
ght
s
t
arts to
f
lash.
(
iii)
Press
t
he control panel test button for 20 seconds and
check the strobe
f
l
ashes brightly and that the pad vibrates
strongly. Check that the red light
con
t
inues to flash
wh
i
le
t
h
e
test
bu
tton is
pressed
.
(Cover the strobe light with a card to
stop this
daz
z
ling you while looking
for
the red
light)
.
This red
light flashing
indicate
s that the
b
attery is
satisfactory
.
Ifthe
re
d
light g
o
es off, or if the
s
trob
e
i
s weak, or if the vibration
i
s weak,
the
batt
ery will need to be
r
eplaced. Contact the
nea
r
est ad-
dress in
th
is
l
eaflet for advice
abou
t getting a replacement.
Replace Ei173 control
pan
e
l
after 5 years operation. (See
date on
s
ide of
pan
e
l)
.
We
recommend that
th
e
functi
o
ning of the rechargeable
battery is checked at least yearly as
follows
:
After
Installat
i
on
1.
Tu
rn on the AC mains power
t
o the smoke alarm circuit.
Check the continuous green light
i
s visible on the smoke alarm
cover. Ttie red light on the un
i
t will flash every 40
s

ds
.
2.
P

Press the test button on the smoke
alarm
.
The smoke

wi
l
l
flash
e
very second.
Aft
e
r
about 4 seconds the control panel will start flashing the
strobe light and the
vibrat
i
on pad will turn on. Two people
ma
y
be needed for
t
h
is test. Interconnected smoke alarms (where
present) should also be
test
ed in
s
i
milar fashion.
4.
Press the control panel test button. Check the
vibra
t
ion
pad is on and
tha
t the strobe is
flashing
.
Daily
&
Weekly Testing
We recommend that you
tes
t your system weekly by press-
ing all
th
e smoke/heat alarm test buttons and
check
i
ng
tha
t
.
the
vibra
t
ion pad and strobe
l
ight
a
r
e operating. Also check at
t
h
e
sa
m
e
t
i
me
t
h
at
t
h
e green
p
owe
r
li
ghts are
v
isibl
e on
b
oth
the smoke alarm(s) and the control panel.
Check
daily
that the vibration pad is in its
correc
t
pos
i
tion by
pressing the
tes
t button on the control panel.
Periodic Testing
of
Rechargeable Battery
The
rechargeable battery takes about 20 hours to charge
from the control panel when it is first powered up. The panel
then maintains it in the
fu
l
ly charged state by continuous
trickle
charge
.
In the event of a mains failure the battery will
power the system in standby for a week followed by at least 4
m
i
nutes
alarm
.
When the mains
fails
,
the
g
r
een light is extin-
guished and the red light flashes rapidly on the control panel to
indicate
it
is on battery power.
If
the battery is starting to be
fully depleted the red light will go off to indicate the control
panel is totally unpowered. The battery will last 5 years in no
r
-
mal use provided it is not exposed to extremes of temperature
for
prolonged periods, or fully discharged/charged a large
number of
times
.
