It is important that all Alarms in your system communicate with each other. The
number of walls, ceilings and metal objects in the signal path will reduce the strength
of the RadioLINK
+
signals between the Alarms. Accordingly, one or more CO/
Smoke/Heat Alarms may have difficulties in communicating to all the other Alarms
in the system.
If, when checking the RadioLINK
+
interconnection, some of the Alarms do not
respond to the button test, then you will need to either:
(i) Position another RadioLINK
+
Alarm to act as a ‘repeater’ between the Alarms
which are not communicating and so shorten the path and/or by-pass an obstacle
which is blocking the signal. When the new Alarm is fitted, House Code all Alarms
again, as described above.
(ii) rotate / re-locate the Alarms (e.g. move them away from metal surfaces or
wiring).
After making these changes to the RF signal path, the RadioLINK
+
signals may still
not be reaching all the Alarms in your system, even though they have already been
House Coded successfully. (see Section on “Limitations of Radio Communications”).
It is important to check that all Alarms are communicating in their final installed
positions. If Alarms are rotated and/or re-sited, we would recommend that all the
Alarms are returned to the factory settings and then House Coded again in their final
positions (see above). The RadioLINK
+
interconnection should then be checked
again by button testing all units.
