LEGRAND Tynetec AidCall Alarm Pullcord Manual

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tools Required
Be careful when using step ladders – always face the direction you are working.
A drill may be required if cavity fixings are being used.
Always make sure the correct drill bits and screwdrivers are used.
Installation
1. Remove the cover by twisting it off the base.
2. Select the best location and securely fix the base to the ceiling with 2 screws.
Note: the alarm pullcord is not designed for wall mounting.
3. If possible screw into a wooden joist, if not cavity fixings will be required.
4. Knot the cord so one triangle is within normal reach and the other just above floor level.
5. Cut off the excess cord.
Registering the Alarm Pullcord
It is necessary to register an alarm pullcord onto the Reach at‐home alarm unit, Advent xt warden call
or Altec Response. See the following pages for how to put each of these products into registration mode.
The range of all radio devices can be affected by the working environment ‐ always take care during installation and
perform several test calls from all extremes of the building.
Battery Life
The alarm pullcord contains a long life Lithium battery. The battery is checked once a day, if the voltage falls and stays below a
preset level for 7 consecutive days a low battery alert is automatically transmitted. Once a low battery call is received the alarm
pullcord should be replaced within 7 days. Alarm pullcords must be returned to Tynetec/Aidcall for battery replacement.
Detailed information on battery management for all Tynetec/Aidcall products is available ‐ request Doc No. FM0630.
Maintenance
Alarm pullcord should be activated once a month to check the battery and verify operation.

Where should Alarm Pullcords be fitted?
Alarm pullcords should be ceiling mounted in bathrooms, alongside the
bed or anywhere personal pendants are not usually worn.
They can also be used to speed the installation in homes where it
would be difficult or time consuming to wire a standard pullcord.
An emergency call is made by simply pulling the cord once.
Fixings Required
2 suitable length screws (1½" typical)
Plasterboard cavity fixings may be required.
