Orca OM546H-LS User Manual

Alarm silence facility
When the smoke alarm has detected smoke and turns into the alarm
mode, you can mute the alarm for a minimum of 5 minutes and a
maximum 15 minutes by pressing the test panel. After that, the smoke
alarm automatically resets and returns into the normal operation mode.
If there are still particles of combustion in the air, the smoke alarm will
turn into the alarm mode again. WARNING: Use this function only if you
are absolutely sure that the alarm was triggered by a known problem,
e.g. smoke development during cooking.
Low battery mode
When the battery is running low, the smoke alarm will indicate this with
a repetitive beep and flash for approximately 30 days. WARNING: This
smoke alarm is equipped with a non-replaceable battery. When this
warning occurs, replace the device as soon as possible! The acoustic low
battery warning signal can be muted for ten hours by pressing the test
panel. The smoke alarm is still functioning and able to detect smoke
when it's in this mode.
Fault warning mode
The smoke alarm runs through a periodical self-test. When the smoke
sensor is not functioning properly, it will turn into the sensor fault
warning mode. Try cleaning the smoke alarm (see paragraph
"Maintenance") or replace the smoke alarm!
If the buzzer is not working correctly, the device will turn into the buzzer
fault warning mode. Please immediately contact the manufacturer or
replace the smoke alarm when this occurs.
Night mode
This smoke alarm has an automatic night mode. In dark rooms, the led
signal will be dimmed to prevent disturbance of the night's sleep.

Maintenance
• This smoke alarm is equipped with a self-testing mechanism. We
recommend to test the smoke detector manually at least once every
three months by using the test facility. If the smoke alarm functions
correctly, it will generate a loud beep. Due to the loudness of the
alarm, make sure that you always stand at arm's length distance from
the unit when you are testing. If the smoke alarm does not generate
an acoustic signal, the smoke alarm must be replaced immediately!
• Clean the smoke alarm at least once per month to remove dirt, dust or
debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides
and covers of the smoke alarm. Do not remove the top cover of the
smoke alarm to clean it inside.
• Do not attempt to repair this smoke alarm. If the smoke alarm shows a
damage related to its functionality, it must be replaced!
• Trouble shooting: False alarm is often caused by insect penetration,
dust or steam.
Disassembling
To disassemble the smoke alarm, take a screw driver and push it into the
mounting hole. Then, turn the smoke alarm counterclockwise to remove
it from the mounting bracket.
