BE PREPARED
Smoke and heat alarms properly installed and maintained are an essential part of a good home safety
programme. Review re hazards and eliminate dangerous conditions whenever possible. When re strikes,
a prepared and practised escape plan could prove vital. Consider and discuss the following hints:
• Ensure everyone is familiarised with the alarm
signal.
• Always test doors with your hands before inging
them open. If they feel warm, re may have walled
up behind them – leave closed and nd another
escape route.
• Don’t waste time collecting possessions. Arouse
all occupants and leave the building. Your life is
more valuable!
• GET OUT, STAY OUT, GET THE FIRE
BRIGADE OUT.
• Keep everyone in a set meeting place after you
escape.
• If trapped inside, stay close to the oor, cover
your mouth with a cloth and conserve breath as
you crawl to safety.
• Keep all windows and doors closed except for
escape purposes.
• Prepare and practice an escape plan before a re
starts.
• Draw a oor plan. Have re drills often. Practise
your escape.
IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE ALARM, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT THIS IS AN
ACTUAL FIRE AND FOLLOW YOUR FIRE EMERGENCY PLANS.
Your smoke and heat alarms should be cleaned
every 3 months, by rstly turning off the mains
electricity supply and then using a vacuum cleaner
tted with the soft brush attachment. Switch the
power back on once you have nished.
MAINTENANCE
If you need to remove your alarm from its base
plate, turn off the mains electricity supply, use
a small screwdriver and insert into the hole at
the base of the alarm (illustrated here). Push the
screwdriver in and the alarm should fall free from
the base plate. Please be aware that the alarm
will fall as soon as pressure is applied to the
screwdriver, be prepared to catch it.
The amber LED is
ashing and the
alarm is making a
'chirping' sound
• If the amber LED is ashing at the same time as the chirp, this indicates a low
battery condition and the alarm should be replaced as soon as possible and
certainly within 30 days.
• If the amber LED is ashing at a different time to the chirp, this indicates a fault
and the alarm should be replaced as soon as possible.
• If the amber LED is double ashing and the alarm is making a 'chirping' sound,
this indicates that the wireless module has a low battery condition, or is faulty. The
alarm should be replaced as soon as possible.
Your alarm chirps
intermittently
• Check the location of your alarm (see ‘Positioning’).
• Check that your alarm is denitely the source of chirping; make sure the noise isn’t
coming from another alarm.
• If the alarm is chirping once approximately every 45 seconds and the amber LED
is ashing around the same time, it indicates that the battery is low. The unit
should be replaced within 30 days.
• If the alarm is chirping once every 4 hours, it is indicating that another alarm in the
network has entered a low battery condition. Locate the alarm with the low battery
and replace the alarm as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days.
Your alarm fails to
successfully learn-in
to a network
• Make sure your alarm is 'unlearned' before trying to learn-in to a network. Do this
by pressing and releasing the learn-in button located on the back of the alarm,
immediately press and hold the learn-in button, during which the red LED will
remain solid. When the LED goes out, release the button. The LED will ash twice
followed by three quick ashes, indicating that it has successfully been unlearned.
You can then follow the learn-in process as described in 'Wireless Interlink'.
Other interlinked
units fail to silence
when one unit is
silenced
• Interlinked units that have sensed smoke / heat can’t be silenced remotely. If one
or more units remain in alarm, all other interlinked units will emit their audible
warning again within 4 minutes. Vacate property if there is a re hazard.
WARNING: Storage in low humidity and certain transportation conditions may cause electrostatic charges
to build up in the alarm system housing. Although harmless this may increase the length of time that the
horn sounds upon test button operation. The condition may be cleared by wiping the inside and outside of
the plastic cover with a damp cloth.
