the detector. If so, review the position of the device and,
if necessary, relocate the detector or remove the objects
in question.
The detector continuously carries out an automatic
self-test. Amongst other things, this is used to test the
electronics, the voltage and the internal resistance of
the battery, smoke chamber operation, etc. The red LED
(Fig. 5.1) will flash briefly approx. every 35 seconds to
indicate that the device is working correctly and that it is
ready for use. In line with the DIN 14676 standard, the
smoke detector must be replaced if the device is subject
to mechanical damage or if the fault indication cannot
be reset and, in any event, no later than 10 years and 6
months after the device has been commissioned.
