14. TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING THE RF LINK
If when checking the RadioLINK interconnection some of the Alarms do not respond to the button test, then:
(i) Ensure you have held the Test/Hush button down for up to 10 seconds and the RadioLINK Indicator
light has come on continuously for 3.5 seconds.
(ii) Re-locate/rotate the units. There are a number of reasons why the radio signals may not reach
all the Carbon Monoxide / Smoke Alarms in your system (see Section 8.2 on “Limitations of Radio
Communications”). Try rotating the units or re-locating the units (e.g. move them away from metal
surfaces or wiring) as this can significantly improve signal reception.
Rotating and/or relocating the units may move them out of the range of existing units even though they
may have already been House Coded correctly in the system. It is important therefore to check that
all Alarms are communicating in their final installed positions. If units are rotated and/or resited, we
recommend that all units are returned to the factory settings - see section 12 “Technical Specifications”
on how to clear House Codes. Then House Code all units again in their final positions as per Section 4
“Installation”. The RadioLINK interconnection should then be checked by counting the number of flashes
and button testing all units.
(iii) Add another RadioLINK unit to act as a Repeater.
Note: The Ei262 will only transmit RadioLINK alarm signals as long as it is detecting Carbon Monoxide
(or for 30 minutes) whichever is the shorter. This is to prolong the battery life in other RadioLINK units
which may just have primary batteries. The Ei262 will continue to sound as long as the Carbon Monoxide
gas is present.
1. ALARM DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE TEST BUTTON IS PRESSED:
- Check that the green mains power light is on. If it is off check the wiring, fuse, circuit breakers etc.
- Hold the Test/Hush button down for at least 5 seconds.
