8. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Not all of the
alarms/accessories
produce an alarm
signal when the Test
button is pushed on
a unit.
Units signal an
alarm when no fire
is present and none
of the test buttons
have been pushed.
Possible cause
Devices may not all
be on the same ID.
Devices may not have
power.
Button not pressed
long enough.
There may be too
much interference
between units.
Unit is set to the
same ID as a system
nearby.
Unit is located in area
prone to cause false
alarms.
Wireless Interference.
Solution
Locate the 8-position dipswitch on the back of each
unit and ensure that all of the corresponding switches
are set the same. If an ID needs to be changed:
Remove power, change the ID and reapply power.
Check to see if the Green LED is on continuously (this
tells you the alarm is receiving AC power) or that it
blinks every ten seconds (this tells you that it is receiving
only battery power). If not make sure the batteries are
installed correctly and the AC outlet has power. If the
alarm is not receiving AC power but is receiving battery
(DC) power the green LED will flash every 10 seconds.
Contact a qualified electrician to check power to the
wires.
Press and hold the button for a minimum of 5 seconds
Move the other units to a new location and try again..
You should try to locate the Wireless units as closely to
each other as possible.
Change the ID of your units by following the instruc-
tions in section 3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, WIRE-
LESS INTERCONNECT SETUP. Make sure to power all the
units off before changing the switch positions.
Review section 2.LOCATIONS TO AVOID. Relocate the
unit.
