then weekly as below. We particularly stress the need for this check after re-
occupation following a holiday etc.
(i) Check that the green mains indicator light on the cover of the alarm is on (If it is
off, check circuit breakers, fuses and wiring etc.). Check the red light on the cover
flashes every 40 seconds.
(ii) Press the test/hush button for up to 20 seconds on each unit. The horn will
sound and the amber light on the RadioLINK Base sidewall will come on
continuously for about 3.5 seconds. This will ensure the sensor chamber,
electronics and sounder are working. A red light on the cover will flash while the
horn is sounding. All other installed units should now sound. Release the test
button. The local alarm will cease and you should then be able to hear the other
alarms sounding in the distance (if any of the alarms do not sound see Section 5).
Pressing the test button simulates the effect of smoke or heat during a real fire and
is the best way to ensure the Alarm is operating correctly.
WARNING: DO NOT TEST WITH FLAME.
(This can set fire to the Alarm and damage the house).
We do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the results can be
misleading unless special apparatus is used.
Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust and if necessary
clean the alarm as described in the Smoke Alarm instruction leaflet.
