2. Important Information
This alarm is designed for installation by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the
latest I.E.E. Regulations and in regard to relevant Building Regulations/BS Codes of
Practice.
• Hard wired smoke or heat alarms require a constant 230V AC supply.
Battery Back-up models additionally require a healthy battery too.
•
A healthy mains supply is indicated by a constant green L.E.D. (mains) indicator.
• Test the alarm weekly by pressing (and holding) the test button.
The alarm and all those interconnected to it will sound.
• Vacuum your alarms regularly to reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms, caused
by dust contamination.
• Never paint or expose alarm to water – this is a 230V alarm.
(If painting or building work is being carried out close to alarm, temporarily cover
with a plastic bag, or the dust cover supplied.)
•
If the alarm chirps every 30-40 seconds, it indicates the battery needs replacing.
(If
you are in rented property, advise your Landlord.)
•
If there is any question to the cause of an alarm, it should be assumed that the alarm
was due to an actual fire and the dwelling should be evacuated immediately.
Smoke and heat alarms will only function if properly selected, located,
installed and maintained as per Kidde Fyrnetics instruction manuals.
3. Types of Alarm
a. Power Supply
•
DC alarms
9V battery powered units, but will only function if battery is in good condition –
check regularly. (BS5839 Pt6: Grade F).
•
AC/DC alarms
230V mains – for professional installation. Minimum required to comply with
relevant local Building Regulations. Interconnectable to other Kidde Fyrnetics AC
Alarms, so all will sound when one is triggered. If mains power is lost, will operate
via battery power if batteries are fresh/properly installed.
Some models use replaceable 9V (PP3 type) batteries, others sealed-in
rechargeable batteries. (BS5839 Pt6: Grade D). This type is the minimum
grade acceptable on new or materially altered dwellings.
WARNING:
This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave or modified
sine wave inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to
the structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources.
These power sources produce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.
