6. TESTING THE SYSTEM
Test the full system using the test button of the alarms and or Deaf Alerts if
fitted.
Press the test button on each alarm and wait for the other alarms to sound
before testing all other alarms in the same way. The alarm should sound
three times with a flashing red light then stop. Allow at least 5 seconds after
a successful test before testing the next one. After testing check that the red
light flashes approximately every minute. Test the alarm once a week to ensure
correct operation.
The Radio Interlinked System is now ready for use.
Do not change any components of the system for those made by other
manufacturers. Up to 15 alarms may be paired to the system.
WARNING:
The electronic test button provides a full test of the alarm’s
functionality. Do not try to test the alarm using either heat smoke or naked
flame as damage will occur.

WARNING:
MANY CHILDREN MAY NOT RESPOND TO THE ALARM TONES
THEREFORE CHILDREN MUST NOT BE LEFT ON THEIR OWN BUT MUST
BE SUPERVISED AND IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE BE BROUGHT TO SAFETY
BY AN ADULT.
•
Ensure everyone leaves the building as soon as possible.
•
Do not run.
•
Do not stop to collect belongs.
•
If it is safe to do so, close all windows and doors as you escape to
prevent the spread of fire.
•
Smoke is the main cause of death from fire. If trapped inside the building,
cover your mouth, conserve breath and crawl to safety.
•
Do not silence a fire alarm until you know the cause of the alarm and
when all occupants are safely outside the building.
Silencing an Alarm
Do not silence a smoke alarm until you are certain there is no fire. The fire
alarm that has detected a fire will be flashing its red light in the centre of the
test button once every second, all other alarms in the system will just be
sounding.
To silence the fire alarm system, press the test button on any alarm in that
system. If one alarm continues to sound, it will be the one that has detected
a fire. Check for a fire in its area and for its flashing red light. ONLY if you are
certain there is no fire, press its test button to silence it. If you are not certain,
evacuate the property and call your fire and rescue service on 999.
8. ALARM MAINTENANCE
A regular program of fire alarm maintenance will help to keep your alarm in good
working order.
•
Test the alarm weekly making sure that all interconnected alarms in the
system sound within 10 seconds.
•
Vacuum the alarms every six months and wipe them with a damp cloth.
•
Do not paint the alarm.
A fire alarm is a sensitive life-saving device. The life of this alarm can be
significantly reduced by adverse environments, incorrect location and a failure to
regularly clean and maintain it according to the instructions. Incorrect location and
a lack of reasonable care may also cause it to malfunction and will invalidate the
warranty.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
The battery in the alarm will last ten years and the battery in the pattress will last
ten years - they are both non-replaceable. At the end of its life the alarm will beep
once every minute for a minimum of one month.
The life of the battery can be significantly shortened by periods of storage or use
in temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C. It will also be shortened by frequent
or extended periods in full alarm often caused by conditions such as cigarette
smoke, steam, aerosol spray and condensation. In these circumstances the
warranty will be void.
If this happens at night you can press the test button to silence the battery warning
for 10 hours. Replace the alarm as soon as possible.
Problems are indicated in five ways:
1.
The alarm beeps twice every minute indicating a malfunction.
2.
The alarm beeps once every minute indicating a low battery.
3.
The full alarm sounds for no reason. (A repeating series of three beeps with
flashing light).
4.
The alarm does not sound when pressing the test button.
5.
The test button light remains steadily on or off. (i.e. does not flash
approximately once every minute, when the unit is not in alarm).
Inspect for obvious damage. Check that the alarm has been installed in
accordance with the instructions. In the case of repeated nuisance alarms, check
that it is free from dust, cobwebs and external contamination from such things as
cigarette smoke, drying paint, spray from household aerosols and steam that will
ultimately shorten the life of the alarm and invalidate the warranty.
