Push Button Control Panel
The Units have three Push Buttons. Main Activation, Reset and Test. We also have a
master on/off switch along with one “battery test LED”

Main Functions of Push Buttons
Main Activation (red push button) –Activates a full alarm (audible & visual)
on the device and any other devices on the same frequency that is paired and
in range.
Test Button (red) –Activates the strobe light and the battery test LED’s on
the device and any other devices on the same frequency that is paired and in
range.
Reset System (black) –Resets the device back to standby mode and any
other devices on the same frequency that are paired and in range.
On/Off Switch –Closes the unit down into safe storage mode. (Please
remove batteries for long term storage to avoid leaking cells that may
damage the unit)
Please Note –After each command allow a minimum of 80 seconds for the
system to reset i.e. If you are silent testing the system via the red button and you
hit the black system reset button allow the system 80 seconds for it to go back into
Standby mode. This also applies to the main Activation button.
Testing the System (Red Button)
This enables the user to visually check that units are in range without activating the
sounders. We recommend that the system is tested on a regular basis (see your Risk
Assessment). Pushing the red Test System Button will illuminate the LED and flash
the strobes on the panel of the unit plus any units within range and on the same
frequency.
Flashing Strobe = In Range
Green LED = Good Battery
Red LED = Low Battery
Pushing Reset Button (black) will take the units out of test mode.
(Please remember to wait a minimum of 80 seconds before a Test/Activation can be
run)

Full Activation (Central Red Button)
Pushing the main Activation Button (Red) will put the system into full alarm. Full
alarm will trigger both the Strobe light and Siren on the unit plus any other devices
on the same frequency that is in range.
The system can be silenced and reset from any unit by pushing the black reset
button. However the device that initiated the full alarm will continue to flash the
strobe until a further push of the reset button is made on the flashing device that
activated the system. This allows the user to identify the unit that triggered the
alarm.
(Please remember to wait a minimum of 80 seconds before a Test/Activation can
be run)
Batteries
The unit is run off 6 x D Cell Alkaline batteries mounted in a spring loaded black
plastic case, we recommend replacement batteries to be Energizer brand part code
LR20-AM1 1.5V. Any other cells may not return the specified duration and could
cause the unit to malfunction; this may also void your Warranty. Incase of
difficulty obtaining replacement cells please call the Evacuator helpline on 0845

**Special Notes on Evacuator Battery Duration**
The radio transceiver featured in each Evacuator wireless alarm is designed to
operate on dry cell D Type battery packs (Energiser LR 20 ultra plus cells).
The cells will return around 2200 Hours of operation in standby mode.
Battery duration will vary dependent on the following conditions >
A. The number of Test or Alarm activations.
B. The environmental temperature.
Evacuator “wireless site alarm models” have been specifically designed as an
audible and visual manual means of raising an alarm. These units do not offer
automatic fire detection.
Please use your battery fuel sensibly and SWITH OFF WHEN NOT IN USE.
There is no benefit to the user to leave the units switched on when not in use,
this will only unnecessarily use valuable battery fuel.
The manufacturer has no control over the installation of usage of this product
there for we cannot guarantee or will not replace battery cells under our normal
warranty.
Once the RED LED/S begin to flash you must replace battery/s
IMEDIATELY, failure to so could result in system malfunction.
