Bellman Visit System Information
Testing and maintenance
Test the Smoke Alarm regularly, preferably each week, e.g. during cleaning, but at least once per month. Always
test it immediately after any holidays or other extended periods of absence.
A receiver in the Bellman Visit 868 System which is set to the same Radio Key as the Smoke Alarm is required to
test the Bellman Visit 868 Smoke Alarm.
Blow smoke into the Smoke Alarm or hold down the Test Button (1) for more than five seconds. The Bellman
Visit 868 Smoke Alarm beeps with a shrill tone and transmits a radio signal and the Bellman Visit 868 receivers
will indicate the Smoke Alarm. The Smoke Alarm will transmit fire alarm signals as long as the Test Button (1) is
held down, or as long as there is smoke inside the Smoke Alarm.
There is an LED in the Test Button (2) which blinks with a red light once per minute. This indicates that the
battery has been connected correctly and is in good condition.
For cleaning, the Smoke Alarm should be occasionally wiped externally with a slightly damp cloth. When the
battery is changed, the Smoke Alarm should be vacuum cleaned with a soft brush.
Always test the Smoke Alarm after cleaning.
What you can do to prevent fires
Make sure that matches are kept out of the reach of children.
Never leave candles unattended.
Never empty ashtrays into waste paper baskets or bin liners without making sure that everything has been properly
extinguished.
Pour water into the ashtray before emptying it – or leave it standing overnight.
Make sure that tiled stoves or open fireplaces have been properly extinguished or that the seat of the fire is screened
so that no sparks can come out.
Handle and store flammable liquids safely.
Only use fuses of the correct rating in the electrical system.
Never experiment with home-made fuses of any kind.
Replace defective electrical cables and connectors.
Only used approved electrical appliances in the household.
Do not place combustible objects close to electrical heating equipment.
Always be prepared for fire
If your home catches fire, the life of your family can depend on seconds. Therefore, everyone in the house must be
well prepared for such a situation.
Make an evacuation plan
Select the windows that are most suitable for an emergency evacuation if the usual route should be blocked by
smoke or fire. If the windows are located high above the ground, arrange for an external ladder or rope. Specify a
place outside the house where the family can gather if there is an alarm. Keep the bedroom door closed during the
night. A door can keep a fire out as long as you can manage to get out through a window. If you have access to fire
extinguishing equipment, make sure it works and that you can maintain it.
Practice an evacuation with the family. Set it up as a game so as not to frighten the children.
If a fire starts
Wake other people and make sure that they leave the house. Follow the evacuation plan. Close doors and windows,
if possible, to restrict the fire. Call the fire brigade, e.g. from a neighbour's telephone. If it is a small fire, you can
try to extinguish it yourself with a fire extinguisher, or if the fire is very small, with a blanket or a mat.
Make sure you have a line of retreat.
If you cannot extinguish it yourself, leave the house as quickly as possible. Do not go back into the house when
you have left it.
