Firehawk FHB10W Manual

6. Screw the pattress to ceiling using the fixings provided. You may also
use two half-moon shaped and double sided fixing pads available from
Fireblitz.
7. Alternatively, you may use any proprietary builders fixing adhesive
normally used to fix skirting boards and other light building components
to walls etc.
NOTE: Be sparing with any adhesives used on the back of the radio
pattress to avoid excess adhesive squeezing through holes onto the
circuit board. When using adhesive pads or adhesives make sure
the surfaces are flake free, clean, dry and flat. Take care to use all
appropriate Health and Safety precautions when fixing the pattress and
alarm to their surface - in particular use appropriate access equipment,
protect yourself from dust and wear eye protection.
Do not change any components of the system for those made by other
manufacturers. Up to 15 alarms may be paired to the system.
WARNING: The electronic test button provides a full test of the alarms
functionality. Do not try to test the alarm using either heat smoke or
naked flame as damage will occur.
6. USER INFORMATION
Protect your Home Against Fire
Contact your local Fire Service for a home safety check, this information is
free and will identify potential fire hazards in and around your home. Make
sure all occupants of the home know what a fire alarm sounds like. Prove and
practise a fire escape plan and arrange a suitable and safe assembly point.
What to Do if the Alarms Sound
Alarms sounds are as follows:
Full alarm indicating Repeating series of 3 beeps every
smoke and fire 4 seconds with flashing light
\ Low Battery Single beep every minute
Test button jammed One beep every 11 seconds
Fault Double beep every minute
Ensure everyone leaves the building as soon as possible.
• Do not run.
• Do not stop to collect belongs.
• If it is safe to do so, close all windows and doors as you escape to prevent
the spread of fire.
• Smoke is the main cause of death from fire. If trapped inside the building,
cover your mouth, conserve breath and crawl to safety.
Do not silence a fire alarm until you know the cause of the alarm
and when all occupants are safely outside the building.
Silencing an alarm
Do not silence a smoke alarm until you are certain there is no fire. The fire
alarm that has detected a fire will be flashing its red light in the centre of
the test button once every second, all other alarms in the system will just be
sounding.
To silence the fire alarm system, press the test button on any alarm in that
system. If one alarm continues to sound, it will be the one that has detected
a fire. Check for a fire in its area and for its flashing red light. ONLY if you are
certain there is no fire, press its test button to silence it. If you are not certain,
evacuate the property and call your fire and rescue service on 999.
7. ALARM MAINTENANCE
A regular program of fire alarm maintenance will help to keep your alarm in good
working order.
• Test the alarm weekly making sure that all interconnected alarms in the
system sound within 10 seconds.
• Vacuum the alarms every six months and wipe them with a damp cloth.
• Do not paint the alarm.
A smoke alarm is a sensitive life-saving device. The life of this alarm can be
significantly reduced by adverse environments, incorrect location and a failure
to regularly clean and maintain it according to the instructions.Incorrect
location and a lack of reasonable care may also cause it to malfunction and
will invalidate the warranty.
The battery in the alarm will last ten years and the battery in the pattress will
last seven years - they are both non-replaceable. At the end of its life the
alarm will beep once every minute for a minimum of one month. The life
of the battery can be significantly shortened by periods of storage or use in
temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C. It will also be shortened by frequent
or extended periods in full alarm often caused by conditions such as cigarette
smoke, steam, aerosol spray and condensation. In these circumstances the
warranty will be void. If this happens at night you can press the test button
to silence the battery warning for 10 hours. Replace the alarm as soon as
possible.
Problems are indicated in five ways;
1. The alarm beeps twice every minute indicating a malfunction.
2. The alarm beeps once every minute indicating a low battery.
3. The full alarm sounds for no reason. (A repeating series of three beeps with
flashing light)
4. The alarm does not sound when pressing the test button.
5. The test button light remains steadily on or off. (i.e. does not flash
approximately once every minute, when the unit is not in alarm) Inspect
for obvious damage. Check that the alarm has been installed in accordance
with the instructions. In the case of repeated nuisance alarms, check that
it is free from dust, cobwebs and external contamination from such things
as cigarette smoke, drying paint, spray from household aerosols and steam
that will ultimately shorten the life of the alarm and invalidate the warranty.
If this does not correct the problem, do NOT attempt to repair. There
are no user serviceable parts internally. If the smoke alarm is within the
warranty period and terms, indicate the nature of the problem and return
the unit with proof of purchase to the address at the end of this manual.
Units beyond warranty cannot be economically repaired.
