11. Troubleshooting
Smoke Alarms sound for no apparent reason
• Check for fumes, steam, etc. from the kitchen or bathroom. Paint and other fumes
can cause nuisance alarms.
• Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust. Clean the Alarm
as described in Section 5 if necessary.
• Press the Test/Hush button on the Smoke Alarm causing the alarm (this can
be identified as the Alarm with the red light flashing rapidly) – this will silence the
Smoke Alarm for 10 minutes (and also silence all other interconnected Smoke
Alarms in the system).
• Smoke Alarms, with RadioLINK
+
modules beep every 4 hours - this indicates
that there is a fault somewhere in the system - check all Alarms as outlined in the
relevant section of the RF Module booklet.
• House Code your RadioLINK
+
Alarms - see the ‘RadioLINK
+
Module Booklet’.
If the Alarms are in the default factory settings, neighbouring Alarms may cause
them to sound.
The Alarm fails to sound when the Test button is pressed
• Check the age of the Alarm - see the “replace by” label on side of Alarm.
• Ensure the alarm is twisted fully home on the mounting plate, as this connects
the battery.
