The Alarm can communicate its status and history through various Led flashes and chirps/beeps.
However, a more comprehensive report of all such events is available through the AudioLINK
download via the App.
Low Battery Backup Fault
If the battery backup supply is depleted, the sounder will give one short chirp with one yellow LED
fault indicator flash every 48 seconds. In this case check that the green LED power indicator is on
continuously. If it is off, or flashing every 48 seconds, the Alarm is not receiving 230V AC mains power
and is being powered by the battery backup. The chirp every 48 seconds indicates that the battery
is depleted. The battery is not replaceable. Check fuses, circuit breakers and wiring to determine the
cause of the interruption to the mains power. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician. Once mains
power is reinstated, the chirps should cease within 2 hours as the battery charges up. Fully charged,
the battery will provide up to 4 months back-up without mains power. If the chirping persists for over
2 hours with the green light on, there may be some other problem with the Alarm. The Alarm must be
returned for repair or replacement - see GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED section.
Sensor Fault
The Alarm regularly checks the optical smoke sensor and/or thermistor heat sensor for correct
operation. If the Alarm has found a fault with the sensor, it will give 2 short chirps with 2 yellow LED
flashes every 48 seconds. In this case, the Alarm must be returned for repair or replacement - see
GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED section
End of Life
Once the Alarm passes its 10th year of installation, it will give 3 short chirps with 3 yellow LED flashes
every 48 seconds to indicate it has reached its end of useful life.
