become familiar with the sound of the
Alarms.
- Press and hold the Test Button until the
Alarm sounds and the red light flashes (see
Figure 7). The Alarm will stop sounding
shortly after the button is released.
- Repeat this procedure for all other
Alarms in the system.
WARNING: Do not test with flame.
This can set fire to the Alarm and damage
the house. We do not recommend
testing with smoke as the results can be
misleading unless special apparatus is
used.
When you press the Test button it
simulates the effect of smoke in a Smoke
Alarm which it could experience in a real
fire.
7.2 Test/Silence Button to Control
Nuisance Alarms
The Smoke Alarms have a combined
Test/Silence button to help you control
nuisance/false alarms.
If, when the Alarm sounds, there is no sign
of smoke or noise to indicate that there is
a fire, it should be assumed that it is due
to an actual fire and the dwelling should
be evacuated immediately.
Check the house carefully in case there is
a small fire smouldering somewhere.
Check whether there is some source of
smoke or fumes, for example cooking
fumes being drawn past the Alarm by an
extractor.
If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms
it may be necessary to re-locate the
Smoke Alarm away from the source of
the fumes.
If you installed Alarms with RF modules
and did not House Code / enroll them in
your system, you may be receiving alarm
signals from a neighbouring system. This
can be easy rectified by "House Coding"
your Alarms - see relevant RF Module
Instruction booklet.
1. To cancel a false alarm from a Smoke
Alarm (which has its red light flashing
rapidly), press the Test/Silence button (the
Smoke Alarm will automatically switch to a
reduced sensitivity condition).
The Smoke Alarms will be silenced for a
period of approximately 10 minutes. The
red light on the cover of the Smoke Alarm
will flash every 8 seconds to indicate that
the unit has been silenced.
2. The Smoke Alarm will reset to normal
sensitivity at the end of the silenced
period (10 minutes). If additional silenced
time is required, simply push the Test/
Silence button again.
3. If kitchen usage/layout is such that there
are an unacceptable level of nuisance
alarms, re-locate the Smoke Alarm further
away where it will be less affected by
cooking fumes etc.
We recommend the use of a Heat Alarm
in the Kitchen area to avoid such nuisance
alarms.
7.3 Power Supply Monitoring
7.3.1 What to do when an Alarm is
beeping:
A Smoke Alarm is beeping about every 48
seconds with the yellow light flashing at
the same time:
- Replace the Batteries.
7.3.2 Battery Replacement
When the batteries power is low and
replacement is necessary, the Smoke
Alarm will "beep" and the yellow light
will flash at the same time about once
every 48 seconds for at least 7 days.
The batteries must then be replaced.
Also, replace the batteries if the Alarm
does not sound when the Test Button is
pressed. When you replace the batteries
you must press the Test button to check
that the Alarm is functioning correctly.
Only replace the batteries with Panasonic
CR123A batteries.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep
away from children. Do not disassemble
and do not dispose of in fire.
Replacement batteries can be purchased
at your local hardware store.
Warning!
CONSTANT
OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH
HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERIES'
LIFE.
Use only batteries specified in marking.
Use of
different batteries may have a
detrimental effect on Alarm operation.
These cells are intended for use at
ordinary temperatures where anticipated
high temperature excursions are not
expected to exceed 100°C (212°F).
Prolonged periods of alarm will also
reduce batteries life.
Caution: The batteries used in this device
may present a fire or chemical burn
hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or
dispose of in fire. Replace batteries with
Panasonic CR123A, use of other batteries
