Brooks BAATLS User manual

Alarm Controller - Mains Powered
Product Description
Smoke Alarms are designed to detect smoke parcles in the air. However,
other airborns parcles, i.e. steam, cooking fumes, dust, etc. can also cause
smoke alarms to generate false alarms. With interconnected smoke/heat
alarms, when one alarm senses smoke/heat, all alarms will sound. With
these Brooks alarm controllers, they can provide the occupant with easier
inspecon, service and idenficaon of where these false alarms have
iniated.
Two models for Alarm Controllers are available:
1. BAATLS: To test, locate and silence acve 230-volt smoke/heat alarms
2. BAAISO: To only isolate acve 230-volt smoke/heat alarms
Compatible Smoke/Heat Alarms
Both BAAISO and BAATLS can be used with Brooks 230-volt
interconnectable range of smoke/heat alarms, 160e and 140RC series
smoke/heat alarms.
All 160e and 140RC Series Smoke/ Heat alarms MUST be fied with
EIBPLATE when connecng to BAATLS or BAAISO. The AIBPLATE had
addional terminal to connect the baery negave required for connecon
to BAATLS or BAAISO.
WARNING: Both BAAISO & BAATLS must be installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with regulaons for electrical installaon
(AS3000). Failure to install the alarms correctly may expose the user to
shock or fire hazard.
Due to connual product development, Brooks reserve the right to alter product details and specificaons without prior noce.

the interconnected smoke/heat alarms simultaneously including
those hard to reach alarms. To test the alarms, press the TEST
buon, to stop the test funcon, press the TEST buon again.
2. LOCATE: This mode enables the originang smoke/heat alarm
signal to be idenfied. Press and hold the LOCATE buon for 3
seconds, the red indicator built into the buon body of the alarm
controller will illuminate for approximately 5 minutes. All alarms,
other than the one sensing smoke/heat, will stop sounding for the
same period. Once the originang alarm is idenfied via the LOCATE
buon, the alarm can be checked and corrected, refer to the
nuisance and false alarm secon in the user manual for the related
alarm. The locate funcon automacally resets aer the locate me
ellapse.
3. SILENCE: The Brooks BAATLS provides a means of silencing all
alarms. When the SILENCE buon is acvated, the silence funcon
removes (approximately 5 minutes) both primary and secondary
power to the smoke/heat alarms, disabling all connected alarms.
During these 5 minutes, the occupant can remove the source of the
nuisance alarm to check and clear the sensing chamber. The BAATLS
automacally resets aer the 5 minute period. If the sensing
chamber is clear, the smoke/heat alarm will reset otherwise all
alarms will re-sound.
NOTE: The Locate and Silence switch can be pressed only when a
Smoke/Heat Alarm becomes acvated (sounding).

Installation
The BAATLS is mounted on a Clipsal Series 2000 single gang switch
plate. It can be flush mounted on gyprock walls same as any standard
light switch or surface mounted using a Clipsal No 449A (series 2000)
mounng block.
For all 3 funcons to work (Test, Locate and Silence), only one
BAATLS must be placed at the beginning of the circuit.
It is possible to use mulple BAATLS in one circuit but note that only
the Test and Locate funcons will operate correctly. If the Silence
were to be used in this scenario, only the downstream Alarms will be
silenced.
In any case, only one power source (circuit breaker) must feed the
enre circuit and neutral cannot be mixed.
