11. Troubleshooting
Alarms sound for no apparent reason
• House Code your Alarms - see booklet 'RF Modules for Battery Powered Smoke
& Heat Alarms'. If the Alarms are in the default factory settings, neighbouring units
may cause them to alarm.
• Check for fumes, steam, etc. from the kitchen or bathroom. Paint and other fumes
can cause nuisance alarms.
• Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust. Clean the alarm as
described in Section 5 if necessary.
• Press the Test/Hush button on the Smoke Alarm causing the Alarm (this can
be identified as the Alarm with the red light flashing rapidly) – this will silence the
Smoke Alarm for 10 minutes (and also silence all other interconnected Alarms in
the system).
• Smoke & Heat Alarms, with RadioLINK modules, sound for 2 seconds every 4
hours - this indicates that there is a depleted battery somewhere in the system -
check all Alarms as outlined in section 5 "Power Supply Monitoring".
The Alarm fails to sound when the Test button is pressed
• Check the age of the unit - see the "replace by" label on side of unit.
