ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUPERVISION MESSAGE
When a wireless receiver is installed, a receiver is restarted, the panel is reset, or if
programming is complete, then the supervision time is reset. If the receiver has been
powered down for more than one hour, then the 1164/1164NS may take up to an additional
hour to send a supervision message. A missing message may display on the keypad until
the supervision message is sent.
INSPECTION TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
The smoke detector is designed for easy field service and maintenance. When installed and
used properly, they require minimal maintenance. The smoke detector should be functionally
tested per NFPA 72 for system type smoke detectors. See Smoke Testing. When a smoke
detector requires maintenance, the red LED blinks every 5 seconds.
Caution: Smoke alarms cannot provide warnings for fires resulting from explosions,
smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases, children
playing with matches or lighters.
