The control panel also has battery back-up, so that it too will operate during mains failure. 2. Testing your System After Installation 1. Turn on the AC mains power to the smoke alarm circuit. Check the continuous green light is visible on the smoke alarm cover. The red light behind the test button will flash every 40 seconds. 2. Plug in the control panel mains adaptor (or turn on the AC mains if it is connected to a junction box). Slide the power switch on the side of the unit to the “on” position. Check the continuous green light on the control panel cover is visible. 3. Press the test button on the smoke alarm. The smoke alarm should sound and the red light behind the button will flash every second. After about 4 seconds the control panel will start flashing the strobe light and the vibration pad will turn on. Two people may be needed for this test. Interconnected smoke alarms (where present) should also be tested in similar fashion. 4. Press the control panel test button. Check the vibration pad is on and that the strobe is flashing. Daily & Weekly Testing We recommend that you test your system weekly by pressing all the smoke alarm test buttons and checking that the vibration pad and strobe light are operating. Also check at the same time that the green power lights are visible on both the smoke alarm(s) and the control panel. Check daily that the vibration pad is in its correct position by pressing the test button on the control panel. Periodic Testing of Rechargeable Battery The rechargeable battery takes about 20 hours to charge from the control panel when it is first powered up. The panel then maintains it in the fully charged state by continuous trickle charge. In the event of a mains failure the battery will 2 power the system in standby for a week followed by at least 4 minutes alarm. When the mains fails, the green light is extinguished and the red light flashes rapidly on the control panel to indicate it is on battery power. If the battery is starting to be fully depleted the red light will go off to indicate the control panel is totally unpowered. The battery will last 5 years in normal use provided it is not exposed to extremes of temperature for prolonged periods, or fully discharged/charged a large number of times. We recommend that the functioning of the rechargeable battery is checked at least yearly as follows: (i) Ensure the control panel has been mains powered for at least the previous 20 hours for the battery to charge. (ii) Turn off the mains power to the control panel by unplugging it or switching off the circuit at the distribution board. Check that the green light goes off and the red light starts to flash. (iii) Press the control panel test button for 20 seconds and check the strobe flashes brightly and that the pad vibrates strongly. Check that the red light continues to flash while the test button is pressed. (Cover the strobe light with card to stop this dazzling you while looking for the red light). This red light flashing indicates that the battery is satisfactory. If the red light goes off, or if the strobe is weak, or if the vibration is weak, the battery will need to be replaced. Contact the nearest address in this leaflet for advice about getting a replacement. 3. Troubleshooting If the units fail any of the tests after installation outlined above, the system has probably been incorrectly wired and/or all units are not connected. Check all wiring carefully. If the green power lights on the smoke alarm and/or the control panel are not on, check the wiring to the mains and that the mains is not off (e.g. due to a tripped circuit breaker or fuse). Check the power switch on the control panel is on. The control panel monitors the wiring to the vibration pad and the smoke alarm pattress for faults. (i) If the vibration pad is removed or if its wiring is open circuit, the control panel will flash the strobe. (ii) If the wiring to the smoke alarm pattress is disconnected, open circuited or short circuited, the control panel will turn on the vibration pad and the strobe light. There are no user serviceable parts in this unit. If it is though to be defective, it must be returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement (see “Product Guarantee” section). 4. Accessories and other Features Control Panel “Aux. Output” The auxiliary output turns on when the control panel is in alarm and can supply up to 200 mA at 12 Volts (range 10 to 14 Volts). (Note: the positive terminal is the pin next to the “Clock Input” socket). An Auxiliary Strobe EI 178 is available and is supplied with 10 m of cable and a suitable plug. It can be located, for example, where it is readily seen during the day (e.g. downstairs hallway). An extra Vibration Pad EI 174 is available with 2 m of cable and a plug for connecting it to the auxiliary socket. Control Panel “Clock Input” socket A suitable alarm clock (with a 5 to 24 Volts AC or DC output electrically isolated from the mains supply) can be connected ...
