LOCATE BUTTON
If the alarms are sounding and an alarm indicator is ashing, but there's no obvious hazard, pressing
the 'Locate' button ( ) will silence all wirelessly interlinked alarms except for the initiating alarm
which has sensed smoke / heat or carbon monoxide. Within two minutes the system will return to
normal operation and the alarms will continue to sound if smoke / heat or carbon monoxide is still
present. To make locating the alarm easier, the control unit can be removed from its bracket and
carried around the property (providing the tamper proof function has not been engaged), allowing
you to press the 'Locate' or 'Test' button whilst moving from room to room.
SILENCE BUTTON
If the alarms are sounding and the smoke / heat alarm indicator is ashing, but there's no obvious
hazard, pressing the 'Silence' button ( ) will silence all wirelessly interlinked alarms and reduce the
system sensitivity for up to 10 minutes. However if excessive smoke is sensed the silence function
will be overridden. The indicator will continue to ash unless the smoke disappears. Please Note:
An alarm cannot be silenced using the Alarm Control Unit if carbon monoxide has been detected,
however the 'Locate' function will allow you to nd out which of the CO alarms is the initiating alarm.
ALARM MEMORY
If one of the alarm indicators is ashing every 10 seconds this indicates that a smoke alarm,
heat alarm or carbon monoxide alarm has previously been activated. Pressing the 'Locate'
button ( ) will clear the LEDs and sound the source alarm so you can investigate this further. You
can press the 'Locate' button ( ) repeatedly until the source alarm is identied (fully compatible
with the FireAngel Specication Smart RF smoke, heat and CO alarms). Please Note: Only the most
recent alarm event will be visible. If both a CO and smoke / heat alarm have previously been activated,
both LED's will show but the CO alarm will always take precedence, and this is the alarm which will
sound. Never ignore an alarm. If there is evidence of an alarm event, be sure to investigate further.
FAULT DETECTION
If the amber fault LED and a red alarm LED are ashing this indicates that an alarm on the network
has developed a fault. To identify the faulty alarm press the 'Locate' button. If the alarm in fault
sounds a unique ‘SOS’ sound pattern continue to 'A' below. If no SOS sound pattern is heard proceed
to 'B' below.
A. In case you need to locate the unit again, please wait for 2 minutes before trying to locate for the
SOS pattern.Take down the alarm which is sounding. Unlearn the alarm from the network using
a ball point pen in the circular 'learn-in' hole in the back of the alarm. Briey push and release and
then push and hold the 'learn-in' button. The red LED will remain illuminated during this process.
When the red LED goes out, release the button, it will then ash twice, followed by three further ashes
to illustrate that the alarm has successfully been 'un-learnt' from the network. Reorganise the network as
detailed on the next page. The LEDs indicating a fault should now have stopped ashing and the faulty
alarm can now be replaced with a new alarm if required.
