If you installed Smoke Alarms with RadioLINK modules and did not House Code
them, you may be receiving alarm signals from a neighbouring system. This can be
easy rectified by “House Coding” your Alarms - see the ‘RadioLINK Module Booklet’.
1. To cancel a false alarm from a Smoke Alarm (which has its red light flashing
rapidly), press the Test/Hush button.
The Smoke Alarms will be silenced for a period of approximately 10 minutes. The
red light on the cover of the Smoke Alarm will flash every 8 seconds to indicate that
the alarm has been silenced.
2. The Smoke Alarm will reset at the end of the silenced period (10 minutes).
3. If kitchen usage/layout is such that there are an unacceptable level of nuisance
alarms, re-locate the Smoke Alarm further away where it will be less affected by
cooking fumes etc. We recommend the use of a Heat Alarm in the Kitchen area to
avoid such nuisance alarms.
5.3 Power Supply Monitoring
5.3.1 What to do when an Alarm is beeping/flashing:
a) If a Smoke Alarm is beeping about every 32 seconds with the red light flashing
at the same time:
- This indicates that the Lithium Battery is partially depleted and the Smoke Alarm
needs to be replaced. (check the “replace by” date marked on the side of the
Alarm).
b) On Smoke Alarm models with RadioLINK modules (fitted) - If the green light
flashes every 10 seconds it indicates that the RadioLINK battery is depleted and
the RadioLINK module must be replaced.
