1. Smoke / Heat Alarms
1.1 Basic Information about your Smoke / Heat Alarm
A Smoke Alarm is an early warning device. Used correctly it can give the occupants
valuable time to escape. Heat Alarms are used supplementary to Smoke Alarms for
those areas where Smoke Alarms would not be suitable.
Notes :-
* When the power is first connected the Smoke / Heat Alarm may sound for 2-3
seconds and/or the LED may flash quickly for 10 seconds - this is normal.
* A Smoke / Heat Alarm does not prevent fires.
* Install in correct position (refer to section 1.4).
* Test monthly.
* When the Smoke / Heat Alarm beeps every 40 seconds and LED flashes at the
same time the battery backup is low, restore mains power as soon as possible.
* For the Photo-electric model PFS-PCX, if the Smoke Alarm beeps without the
LED flashing at the same time then clean the unit (refer to Owners Manual) as
this is the automatic test feature telling you the chamber is degraded.
* Plan your escape route.
* Proper protection may require more than one Smoke / Heat Alarm.
* If you have any doubt or query about Smoke / Heat Alarms consult the nearest
Brooks Australia Fire and Warning Systems Office.
