Brooks BAATLS User manual

Alarm Controller - Mains Powered
Product Description
Smoke Alarms are designed to detect smoke parcles in the air. However,
other airborns parcles, 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
inspecon, service and idenficaon of where these false alarms have
iniated.
Two models for Alarm Controllers are available:
1. BAATLS: To test, locate and silence acve 230-volt smoke/heat alarms
2. BAAISO: To only isolate acve 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 fied with
EIBPLATE when connecng to BAATLS or BAAISO. The AIBPLATE had
addional terminal to connect the baery negave required for connecon
to BAATLS or BAAISO.
WARNING: Both BAAISO & BAATLS must be installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with regulaons for electrical installaon
(AS3000). Failure to install the alarms correctly may expose the user to
shock or fire hazard.
Due to connual product development, Brooks reserve the right to alter product details and specificaons without prior noce.

Operation
1. TEST: The TEST funcon enables the user to remotely acvate all
the interconnected smoke/heat alarms simultaneously including
those hard to reach alarms. To test the alarms, press the TEST
buon, to stop the test funcon, press the TEST buon again.
2. LOCATE: This mode enables the originang smoke/heat alarm
signal to be idenfied. Press and hold the LOCATE buon for 3
seconds, the red indicator built into the buon 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 originang alarm is idenfied via the LOCATE
buon, the alarm can be checked and corrected, refer to the
nuisance and false alarm secon in the user manual for the related
alarm. The locate funcon automacally resets aer the locate me
ellapse.
3. SILENCE: The Brooks BAATLS provides a means of silencing all
alarms. When the SILENCE buon is acvated, the silence funcon
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
automacally resets aer 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 acvated (sounding).

1. BAATLS Alarm Test, Locate and
Silence
The BAATLS controller has 3 funcons:
1. Remote tesng of all interconnected alarms using the TEST buon.
2. Idenfies the originang alarm fire signal using the LOCATE buon.
3. Silence all alarms using the SILENCE buon.
Operation
1. TEST: The TEST funcon enables the user to remotely acvate all the
interconnected smoke/heat alarms simultaneously including those hard to
reach alarms. To test the alarms, press the TEST buon, to stop the test
funcon, press the TEST buon again.

alarm is idenfied via the LOCATE buon, the alarm can be checked and
corrected, refer to the nuisance and false alarm secon in the user manual
for the related alarm. The locate funcon automacally resets aer the
locate me ellapse.

3. SILENCE: The Brooks BAATLS provides a means of silencing all
alarms. When the SILENCE buon is acvated, the silence funcon
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
automacally resets aer 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 acvated (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)
mounng block.
For all 3 funcons to work (Test, Locate and Silence), only one
BAATLS must be placed at the beginning of the circuit.
It is possible to use mulple BAATLS in one circuit but note that only
the Test and Locate funcons 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
enre circuit and neutral cannot be mixed.

2. BAAISO Alarm Isolator
The Brooks Alarm Isolator provides a means of silencing nuisance alarms.
When acvated, the Alarm Isolator removes for a period of approximately 5
minutes, both primary and secondary power to the Smoke/Heat Alarms,
disableing all connected Alarms.
During this 5 minute period, the occupant can remove the source of the
nuisance alarm, the Smoke/Heat Alarm will reset once the source of the
alarm clears. The Alarm Isolator automacally resets aer the 5 minute
period.
NOTE: The Alarm Isolator switch can be pressed only when a Smoke/Heat
Alarm becomes acve (sounding).
Installation
The Alarm Isolator BAAISO is mounted on a single gang switch same as the
Alarm Controller BAATLS. BAAISO must be placed at the beginning of the
circuit. Wire connecons as given on Figure 2.
