A unit will operate from the mains alone, even with
a fully depleted or a defective battery (and give
beeps every minute), though it may not give sufficient
warning of fire if the mains supply is disconnected for
any reason. If there are any problems get a qualified
electrician to inspect the house wiring and connections
to the alarms.
If there are still problems the unit must be returned
for examination - see "GETTING YOUR ALARM
SERVICED" section.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect the AC
mains at the fuse box or circuit breaker powering the
Alarm before following the cleaning instructions.
Clean your Alarm regularly, particularly in dusty areas.
Use the narrow nozzle attachment of your vacuum
cleaner to remove dust, insects and cobwebs from the
sides and cover slots where the smoke or heat enters.
To clean the cover, wipe with a damp cloth. Dry cover
thoroughly with a lint free cloth.
WARNING: Do not paint your Alarm.
Other than the cleaning described above, no other
customer servicing of this product is required. Repairs,
when needed, must be performed by the manufacturer.
All Alarms are prone to dust and insect ingress which
can cause nuisance/false alarms or failure to alarm.
The latest design, materials and manufacturing
techniques have been used in the construction of
our Alarms to minimize the effects of contamination.
However it is impossible to completely eliminate the
effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore,
to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that it
is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any
insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Alarm should be
promptly removed.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning,
contamination can build up in the smoke sensing
chamber causing the alarm to sound or fail. If this
happens the alarm must be returned to us for servicing
or replacement. Contamination is beyond our control, it
is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear
and tear.
For this reason, contamination is not covered by the
guarantee and a charge is made for servicing such
units.
If you experience persistent nuisance/false alarms it
may mean that the environment may not be suitable
for your particular alarm type. If, for example it is due
to dust contamination or exposure to steam you should
be using an ionisation Alarm. If the false alarm is due to
cooking fumes an optical Alarm should be fitted.
