10. Smoke Alarm Remote Control Switch (Optional)

If this option has been specified by your housing provider,
you will find a Remote Control Switch for fire alarms
(right) in your property.
This switch consists of three buttons:

Locate Alarm

•
•

Test Alarm

Silence Alarm

•
10.1 Locate Alarm
When the Locate Alarm button is pressed and released any Smoke/Heat detectors that are
sounding will be silenced - except for from the detector that has detected the alarm
situation (e.g. Smoke or Heat). This allows you to locate and verify the alarm situation.
10.2 Test Alarm
Operating the Test Alarm button will cause all the smoke and heat detectors to sound. We
recommend you use this function weekly to test the alarms.
10.3 Silence Alarm
Pressing the Silence Alarm button is used to silence nuisance alarms. This should only be
pressed after the Locate switch has been used to identify the alarm that triggered the
system, and you have determined that there is no smoke or fire.
We hope you enjoy using your Communicall Vi IP system. If you have any questions please
contact your scheme manager in the first instance.
