Device Test (Local)
The device is checked by briefly pressing the test button. If the device works properly, it will produce
a loud sound. When the sound stops, the device will enter hush mode. After 9 minutes it returns to
normal operation.
Remote Device Test
Wireless communication allows to perform device test for all smoke alarms of a network by giving
command from one device only. To start the test, long press the test button from any network
smoke alarm once. This smoke alarm performs a check such as described in the section "Device Test
(local)" and transmits the test command to all smoke alarms. The network smoke alarms will
perform the test and produce a loud sound (not necessarily at the same time).
Low Battery Mode
If the battery's level is low, the siren will sound as a short pulse every minute, it will continue until
the batteries are replaced. The sound of the battery low level can be muted by pressing the TEST
Button briefly. The Red LED will turn on to indicate the low battery condition. After the TEST button
is released, the unit enters in Low Battery Hush mode and the device is silenced for 8 hours. After 8
hours, the audible indication will resume. The activation of the TEST button will also initiate the 9
minutes Hush mode.
Manual Battery Test
You can test the battery level by pressing the test button 2 short times. The number of flashes that
will follow, will show the battery level according to indication table on page 4.
Wireless Link Test
The BS-506/WL provides wireless signal strength test with power level indication. First, perform the
"Remote Device Test" function on the neighboring smoke alarm on the same network. Then on the
smoke alarm under test, press the test key 1-time momentarily and 1-time long press. The number
of flashes of the green LED that will follow represents the signal strength level of the
communication between them, according to the indication table on page 4.

Alarm mode
If a smoke alarm detects smoke, it immediately goes into alarm mode. In addition, it transmits the alarm signal
to the other smoke alarms in the network, where they go into remote alarm mode. When the original smoke
alarm ceases to detect smoke, it shall transmit an end-of-alarm signal and the remaining smoke alarms will
return to the quiescent state. During an alarm, the user can silence the devices with the 'Hush' and 'Remote
Hush' functions.
Hush mode
alarm with an optical sensor. It
When the device is in alarm mode, Hush can be initiated with 1 short press of the test button. Hush is
activated and the siren is silenced. The duration of Hush is 9 minutes and the Red LED flashes faster.
.
Afterward, the device returns to normal operation. While in Hush, the sensitivity of the device is reduced
and a higher concentration of smoke is required to put it back on alarm. It is possible to cancel the Hush
mode by repeating the short press of the test button.
Remote Hush
When the network smoke alarms are in an alarm state, a device may issue a hush command to all of them; To
activate the hush command to the entire network, long press the test button from any smoke alarm.
Note: If a smoke alarm in hush mode detects the presence of smoke in an ultra-high concentration, then the
entire network will return to alarm mode.
Alarm Memory
The Alarm Memory allows easy identification of any unit that had previously been in Alarm. When a smoke
alarm exits an Alarm mode, the Yellow LED flashes three times and this pattern repeats every minute. This
visual indication will stop after 24 hours. The user will still be able to identify a unit that had previously been
in Alarm, by pressing the TEST button. The horn will sound in short pulses and the Alarm memory will reset.
The initial 24 hour visual indication is not displayed when a low battery condition exists.
Fault Warning
When the smoke alarm is not functioning properly, it will turn into the Fault warning mode and will produce
three short acoustic signals every minute. Try cleaning the smoke alarm (see paragraph maintenance)
otherwise replace it!
Smoke alarms Network
Smoke alarms with factory default settings do not belong to a private network and communicate with all
smoke alarms that also retain their factory settings. It is possible to group them into networks of smoke
alarms that communicate with each other, preventing the interaction of smoke alarms belonging to different
locations only. Refer to the 'Network Installation Guide' section.
Network Installation Guide
1. Make sure that the smoke alarms have their batteries installed correctly. Consider a smoke alarm to be
the central network installation device. The peripheral devices must be installed one by one on the
network of the main one.
2. On the central device, press the test button 2 times momentarily and the 3rd time long. When you release
it, the green LED will flash, indicating that the installation process has started.
3. On the peripheral device press the test button momentarily 3 times, you will notice rapid flashes of the
green LED that will stop when it is installed on the network. For each new device that is installed, you will
observe a prolonged flash of the green LED on the central device .
4. Repeat step 3 for each peripheral device you want to install on the network.
5. When all devices are installed, wait for the central device to stop flashing the green LED. Perform a
network check as described in the "Remote Device Test" section. If all devices respond then your network
has been successfully created. Otherwise, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
6. You can add new peripheral devices to the host device network in the future by repeating steps 2 to 5. For
this purpose it is recommended that you have noted the central device.
Reset to factory settings
The function is provided in case where the network settings on a smoke alarm need to be initialized.
This may be desirable when you want to install a smoke alarm on another network or when you want to
change the role of a device, e.g. from a peripheral device to a host device or vice versa.
1. Remove one of the two batteries.
2. Press and hold the test button.
3. With the button pressed, replace the battery you removed.
4. Wait five seconds and release the button. The green led flash rapidly four times.
Maintenance
Test the smoke alarm weekly for correct operation by using the Device Test facility. If the smoke alarm
—
functions correctly, it will generate a loud beep otherwise must be replaced immediately!
Clean the smoke alarm once per month to remove dirt, dust or debris.
—
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and clean 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 it must be replaced!
—
In accordance with EN14604 standard, is recommended to replace the device after 10 years of operation.
