Troubleshooting
Alarms sound for no apparent reason
• Check for fumes,
steam,
etc. from the kitchen or
bathroom.
Paint and other
fumes
can cause nuisance alarms.
• Check for any sign of
contamination
such
as cobwebs
or dust. Clean the alarm
as
described in Section 5 if necessary.
•
Press
the
Test/Hush
button on the
Smoke
Alarm
causing
the Alarm (this
can
be identified as the Alarm with the red light flashing rapidly) – this will silence the
Smoke Alarm for 10 minutes (and also silence all other interconnected Alarms in
the system).
•
Smoke
& Heat Alarms with RadioLINK
modules
should be
house coded
-
see
booklet „RF Modules for Battery Powered Smoke & Heat Alarms‟. If the Alarms are
in the default factory settings, neighbouring units may cause them to alarm.
•
Smoke
& Heat Alarms, with RadioLINK
modules, sound
for 2
seconds
every
4
hours - this indicates that there is a depleted battery somewhere in the system -
check all Alarms as outlined in section 5 “Power Supply Monitoring”.
The Alarm fails to sound when the Test button is pressed
• Check the age of the unit -
see
the “replace by” label on side of
unit.
• Check the battery
snaps
are firmly
connected
on the 9V Replaceable Battery
models.
