Installation Testing
When all connections are completed, apply power to the system as
described in the control panel's Installation Manual. If all connections
are correct, there should be no alarm from any of the smoke
detectors. If an alarm occurs, ensure that there is not an actual alarm
condition. If there is no actual alarm, remove power from the system
and check all smoke detectors for correct wiring.
If no alarm occurs, test each smoke detector by holding the test
magnet against the case near the Alarm Indicator. Refer to the
illustration in the "Testing Your Smoke Detector" section of these
instructions. When the magnet is in place, an alarm will be activated:
the Alarm Indicator Light will come ON, the Auxiliary Relay will be
activated,and the alarm control panel will indicate a fire alarm. When
the magnet is removed, the detector will remain latched in the alarm
condition. To reset the detector, remove the power supplied by the
alarm control panel.
Installer's Maintenance Instructions
Normally, the Meridian Smoke Detector will not require maintenance.
If the unit is mounted in a high dust environment, the inlet areas of the
case may be vacuumed with a soft brush attachment.
Be sure to inform the user and their monitoring station when
maintenance of any sort is performed on the smoke detector or any
part of the alarm control system. Always test smoke detectors after
maintenance. If a smoke detector continues to generate nuisance
alarms even after vacuuming, return the unit to DSC for service.
Contact DSC at the address and number below to obtain a return
authorisation number before returning the unit.
Installer's Responsibility to the User
It is the Installer's responsibility to thoroughly instruct the end user of
the system on the operation, testing and maintenance of their
system.
The Installer should fully explain and demonstrate all

functions of the alarm control system and any equipment, such as
smoke detectors, connected to it. The user should be provided with
all Instruction Sheets and Manuals for their system and any
components connected to it. Complete and thorough instruction for
the user is essential to ensure they will obtain the greatest benefit
from their system. Providing the user with complete operational
information will also benefit the Installer through a reduction in
service calls for nuisance alarms.

months from the date of purchase, the product shall be free of
defects in material and workmanship under normal use and that in
fulfilment of any breach of such warranty, Digital Security Controls
Ltd. shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective equipment
upon return of the equipment to its repair depot. This warranty
applies only to defects in parts and workmanship and not to damage
incurred in shipping or handling, or damage due to causes beyond
control of Digital Security Controls Ltd. such as lightning, excessive
voltage, mechanical shock, water damage, or damage arising out of
abuse, alteration or improper application of the equipment.
The foregoing warranty shall apply only to the original buyer, and is
and shall be in lieu of any and all other warranties, whether express
or implied and of all other obligations or liabilities on the part of Digital
Security Controls Ltd. This warranty contains the entire warranty.
Digital Security Controls Ltd. neither assumes, nor authorizes any
other person purporting to act on its behalf to modify or to change this
warranty, nor to assume for it any other warranty or liability concerning
this product.
In no event shall Digital Security Controls Ltd. be liable for any direct,

of time or any other losses incurred by the buyer in connection with
the purchase, installation or operation or failure of this product.
WARNING
Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system
be completely tested on a regular basis. However, despite frequent
testing, and due to but not limited to, criminal tampering or
electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to
perform as expected.
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly
alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which
follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed
or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke
detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not
detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or
building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the
rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires
equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning
of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as
smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper
storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits,
children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be
circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all
occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
