For Details, see section “Product Indicator (LEDs)” for details of action required.
1. Briefly push and release the test button 5 times (fig.3).
2. The red LEDs on the front of the Strobe will illuminate 5 times after you push the
button.
3. Press the test button on the Strobe. It should not cause other wireless paired alarms
to goes off. If the Strobe is still paired, repeat the above procedure.
IMPORTANT: If you wish to remove the Strobe and Vibrating Pad from the wireless
network, it is important to clear the RF memory of all network unit/units and
reconnect all nessecary RF device to a new network. Failure to do so means that the
unit continues to try and communicate with the removed unit, and will result in a
system fault.
Testing the network from the smoke alarm or heat alarm.
Strobe Light: The Strobe will flash and the correspond-
ing red (alarm) LED will also flash.
Vibrating Pad: The Vibrating Pad will vibrate.
Auxiliary (Clock): check section “CLOCK INPUT
SOCKET” for details.
Repeat the procedure with all alarms in the wireless
network.
Testing the network from the Strobe Light
Briefly press the test button for 3 seconds on the Strobe and release. The Strobe will
flash, and the Vibrating Pad will vibrate. At the same time, any alarm that is RF paired
to the network will also go off.
The red LEDs on strobe will flash for 5 seconds and continue to illuminate for 60
seconds, the pad will vibrate for 5 seconds. The test mode will last for 60 seconds. To
deactivate the strobe from the test mode, briefly press the test button once again. This
confirms that all units are wirelessly paired.
Testing
It is recommended that a self-test of all the units in your RF network is carried out
weekly.
In addition the network should also be tested whenever:
TESTING THE STROBE LIGHT AND
VIBRATING PAD WITH SMOKE /
HEAT ALARMS
POSITIONING
UNPLUGGING FROM THE MAINS /
POWER CUT
Where should the Strobe Light and Vibrating Pad be installed?
If you have one Strobe Light and Vibrating Pad, it should be installed in the main room
where you sleep. You may add additional Strobes Lights and Vibrating Pads to the
network and install them in any room where you may need to be alerted in the event
of an alarm. It is important that if you install additional Strobes Lights and Vibrating
Pads you test each of these upon installation to check they have paired to the rest of
the network.
Wireless Range: The wireless range of RF products is over 100 metres in clear
air/clear line of sight.
However it is recommended not to exceed 30m as the maximum distance between
any RF paired smoke alarm or heat alarm and the Strobe light and Vibrating Pad. This
is because the range can be reduced by walls, and other obstructions in the building.
Position the Vibrating Pad:
• Under your pillow or mattress.
• Under a cushion on a chair where you are likely to fall asleep.
• Test and check that the Vibrating Pad can be felt in all circumstances where you may
fall asleep. Ensure it is placed securely and cannot fall out – ideally within the
pillowcase or cushion cover.
Position the Strobe Light:
• Close to a power socket where it can be easily plugged in and the cable does not
create a tripping hazard.
• Where you can see the Strobe flashing from anywhere in the room.
• Where you can see the LEDs on the front of the unit.
NOTE: The Strobe can be fitted to a wall or it can be placed on a table.
CAUTION: Do not put the Strobe and Vibrating Pad:
• Outside the building.
• In a damp or humid area.
• In an area where the temperature could regularly drop below –5°C or regularly rise
above 40°C.
• Anywhere where the units can easily be knocked or damaged.
Standby Mode
The Strobe should be connected to the mains AC supply with the Vibrating Pad
connected, and placed in a suitable position. The green “power” LED on the strobe will
be permanently illuminated
Alarm Mode
Strobe – Flashing strobe and Fire red LED flashing
Pad – Vibration warning
When a RF paired smoke or heat alarm goes into “alarm” mode, the Fire red LED will
illuminate, the Strobe will continuously flash and the Vibrating Pad will continuously
vibrate.
The way in which the Strobe and Pad alerts a warning is the same for both alarm types,
i.e. the Strobe will flash and the Pad will vibrate in exactly the same way, irrespective of
whether the alarm is triggered by a smoke alarm or heat alarm.
NOTE: The Strobe will stop flashing, the red LED will cease to flash and the Vibrating
Pad will stop vibrating when the alarm sending the signal has been reset or has stopped
if the danger is no longer present.
Only reset an alarm if you are certain there is no imminent danger from fire.
Locate Feature
When the network is in alarm mode, pressing the test button on any unit in the network
will silence all other alarms in the network, for a period of 2 minutes, except the alarm
that has sensed smoke or heat. This will enable the instigating alarm to be located.
DANGER: Under no circumstances should this product be immersed in water, or
used in an area where water may come into contact with the product.
Make sure the Strobe is visible from anywhere in the room.
To wall mount the Strobe drill two suitably sized holes 30mm apart, centre to centre,
using the template (fig5.1) (Warning - make sure that you check for electrical cabling
and pipework hidden in the wall before carrying out any drilling).
INSTALLING THE STROBE LIGHT
LIMITATIONS
• The Strobe and Vibrating Pad will not operate in isolation, with non-RF Alarms, or any
alarms made by other manufacturers.
• The separate units making up the Strobe and Vibrating Pad cannot be interchanged
with those of other manufacturers and an attempt to do this may render the whole
system unsafe.
• The Strobe and Vibrating Pad may not respond to the signal from a RF alarm if the
alarm and the Strobe containing the control box are too far apart.
• The Strobe and Vibrating Pad may not respond to the signal from a RF alarm if there
are obstructions that significantly reduce the signal (e.g.: steel reinforcement in
concrete). Always test the operation of the Strobe and Vibrating Pad with all other
alarms and units in the network after any changes to the building structure or in the
position of large items of furniture.
OPERATION
The Strobe and Vibrating Pad is designed to be mains powered. The internal rechargea-
ble battery will still provide power if the mains is disconnected. A fully charged battery
will allow the Strobe and Vibrating Pad to continue to operate for 72 hours. Only use the
battery supplied in the pack or a genuine replacement. Other rechargeable batteries
may damage the equipment or create a safety hazard.
WARNING: When the mains power is disconnected, the green power LED will no
longer illuminate and the amber (Fault) LED will double flash every 5 seconds. Plug the
Strobe back into the mains as soon as possible to recharge the battery and maintain
operation.
If the amber LED is flashing once every 5 seconds when the green power LED is off then
URGENTLY restore power to the unit as battery status is very low, and may fail to
operate in an alarm situation.
NOTE: Once the Strobe is plugged back into the mains, the amber (Fault) LED will
continue to flash twice every 5 seconds until the battery has fully recharged.
See “BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTION” for details.

30mm
• An additional alarm or ancillary product is added to the system.
• There are changes to the structure of your property.
• There are significant changes in the position of large items of furniture or electrical
products in your home.
• You replace the battery in any product within the RF network.
• The Strobe and Vibrating Pad are now ready to be placed into position.
In the pack you will find two screws and
two screw anchors. Push the screw
anchors (if needed) into the drill holes
and secure the screw leaving the heads
protruding so that the face of the head is
5mm away from the wall.
Now hook the strobe onto the mounting
bracket.
If placing the strobe on a table instead of
mounting on the wall, make sure it cannot
be easily knocked or slide off. The green
‘Power’ LED should illuminate continuous-
ly to show that the AC power supply is
connected.
