11. Troubleshooting
Smoke Alarms sound for no apparent reason
• Check for fumes, steam, etc. from the kitchen or bathroom. Paint and other fumes
can cause nuisance alarms.
• Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust. Clean the Alarm
as described in Section 5 if necessary.
• Press the Test/Hush button on the Smoke Alarm causing the alarm (this can
be identified as the Alarm with the red light flashing rapidly) – this will silence the
Smoke Alarm for 10 minutes (and also silence all other interconnected Smoke
Alarms in the system).
• Smoke Alarms, with RadioLINK modules, sound for 2 seconds every 4 hours -
this indicates that there is a depleted battery somewhere in the system - check all
Alarms as outlined in section 5 "Power Supply Monitoring".
• House Code your RadioLINK Alarms - see the 'RadioLINK Module Booklet'. If the
Alarms are in the default factory settings, neighbouring Alarms may cause them
to sound.
The Alarm fails to sound when the Test button is pressed
• Check the age of the Alarm - see the "replace by" label on side of Alarm.
• Ensure the alarm is twisted fully home on the mounting plate, as this connects
the battery.
