Red Smoke Alarms RHIS User Manual

User Manual
Strobe Light and Vibrating Pad
Model RHIS
INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT: If you are installing this product for use by others, you must leave this
manual (or a copy of it) for the end user.
Radio Frequency (RF) Pairing technology enables wireless connections between RF
paired products.
In addition to the audible sound from your smoke or heat alarms, the Strobe Light and
Vibrating Pad will be triggered to alert those who may not be able to hear the audible
alarm. The flashing strobe provides a visual warning for waking hours, while the
vibrating pad is designed to be placed under a pillow or a mattress and is suitable for
waking an individual to alert them when an alarm sounds. If placed under a mattress,
ensure the thickness of the mattress does not cushion the pad to the extent it cannot
be felt adequately.
MAIN FEATURES
• This products can be wirelessly paired to create a network, meaning if smoke or heat
triggers any alarm in the network, all other networked alarms and ancillary devices
activate.
• RF Strobe Light and Vibrating Pad Bundle provides additional protection when
sound alone may not be enough.
• Wirelessly connects to other Red Smoke Alarms with RF compatibility.
• The Strobe provides a remote low level testing facility for testing paired smoke or
heat alarms, which avoid the need to reach up to the ceiling mounted alarms to test
the system.
• Mains powered with rechargable battery back-up (must be replaced after 5 years).
• The Strobe is suitable for wall mounting with 2 screw fixings or free standing.
• RF interconnected alarm system, designed for the hearing impaired.

INSTALLING THE STROBE
AND VIBRATING PADS
PREPARATION: Please ensure you have read and understood this manual before
installing your Strobe Light and Vibrating Pad.
It is recommended that for optiumum protection from fire, one RF Pairing smoke or heat
alarm is fitted in each living room of your home, including all bedrooms.
NOTE: Up to 40 Wireless Pairing enabled smoke alarms, heat alarms and/ or Wireless
Pairing accessories can be wireless paired to a single network.
Ensure all smoke and/or heat alarms to be used are installed, tested and working
correctly as per the instructions in their respective user manuals.
CONNECTING THE
BATTERY / MAINS POWER
NOTE: The Strobe Light and Vibrating Pad
fig.1
requires both an AC (mains) electrical
supply and internal battery for its normal
operation. The battery accompanying this
product is rechargeable and charges when
there is mains power to the Strobe.
1. Plug the Vibrating Pad connector into the
Strobe Light (as shown in fig.1). Route
the wires through the wire guide.
2. Remove the battery door at the back. Connect the rechargeable battery, by aligning
the terminals (black wire on left to red wire on right) and pushing the connectors
together.
CAUTION: Connect the battery with mains power disconnected.
3. Place the battery into the recess. The battery
cable needs to be positioned underneath the
battery. Place the cable at the bottom of the
fig.2
recess with the battery lying over the top with
the text on the battery face down. This will
ensure that the battery is installed correctly.
4. Replace the battery door.
5. Plug the power cable in to the Strobe. Route
the wire through the wire guide (fig.2).
6. Plug the mains adapter into a 230V socket
and turn the power on. The green power LED
on Strobe should illuminate.
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTION
NOTE: The battery is supplied in a discharged or partially
discharged state and will require up to 24 hours of charging
(continuous connection to the mains supply) to ensure that it
is fully charged.
During this period the amber fault LED may flash once every
five seconds to indicate that the battery is low. The following
tests however may be carried out before the charging is

WIRELESSLY PAIRING THE STROBE
AND VIBRATING PADS TO WIRELESS
SMOKE / HEAT ALARM
It is recommended that you read through these wireless pairing instructions
before starting. There are two programming methods to connect the strobe to
other Red RF devices:
Method 1: Programming setting the strobe as the master, and let other devices
join the wireless network
1. Place one of your smoke or heat alarms on to its base plate. You will use this
product to pair with the strobe to create a network.
2. Hold the Test button of the Strobe for 10 seconds (fig.3).
3. The red LEDs on the front will continue to illuminate to indicate the strobe is in
wireless pairing mode for 150 seconds.
4. During this period, press pair button 2 times on the smoke or heat alarm to
wirelessly pair the two products. The red LED on the alarm will flash 5 times.
NOTE: User can press the test button of the master to manually switch off the
master's pairing mode.
5. After pairing the Strobe and Vibrating Pad with the alarm, test the product individu-
ally to ensure they are working and connected.
Method 2: Programming other devices as the master, and and let the strobe pair
to the wireless network
1. Read the manual instruction of the wireless devices (Red Smoke's smoke and/or
heat alarm).
NOTE: Find the manual instruction of RF wireless smoke and/or heat alarms from
Red Smoke PTY. Ltd. official website.
2. Find the wireless pairing button of
the wireless device and hold it for 10
seconds.
3. The red LEDs on the front will
continue to illuminate to indicate this
wireless device is in wireless pairing
mode.
4. Press the Test button on the strobe
fig.3
for 2 times (fig.3). The red LED on
the strobe will flash 5 times.
5. After pairing the strobe and vibrating
pad with the device, test the product
individually to ensure they are
working and connected.
After pairing the Strobe and Vibrating Pad into the alarms, test the units individually to
ensure they are connected.
NOTE: The amber fault LED will flash (once per 1 second) if the Vibrating Pad is not
correctly installed.
NOTE: The amber fault LED will flash (twice per 1 second) when no RF device has yet
paired to the strobe. Once the strobe has paired to a RF network, this indication will
automatically switch off.
Once the Strobe and Pad are paired to the detectors, all products can be installed. We
recommend you install smoke and heat alarms before installing the Strobe and Pad.
Clear the strobe's RF Pairing Memory from the wireless
network
In the event that you need to clear the RF Pairing Memory of
the Strobe from a network (e.g. moving house) you will need
to remove it from the network using the following procedure:
