Operating Instructions and Installation Instructions

– 26 – – 27 –
1. Loosen the smoke detector from the base of the housing by turning it
anticlockwise. Mark the drill holes through the base.
2. Drill the holes, put in the plugs and screw in the base.
3. Insert the battery (see the diagram ) and fasten the smoke detector by twisting
it clockwise onto the base. The detector has a safety device that prevents
installation without a battery.
4. If you cannot fasten the smoke detector to the base:
Check whether the battery is correctly inserted and connected.
Operation and function (test)
• The smoke detector is ready for use as soon as you put in the battery.
• Under the housing cover there is an indicator lamp which ashes every
32 seconds to show that the battery is correctly inserted and is delivering enough
power to generate an alarm.
• Check the function of the smoke detector at regular intervals. Press the lower
section of the housing cover for 5 seconds. If you hear a signal, the device is
working properly and can be fastened.
• Alternatively, you can use the RM test spray available from ABUS to test the smoke
detector. If the RM test spray enters the detection chamber, an alarm should
sound, so that you can test whether the detector is working properly.
Replacing the battery
• If the battery is low, the smoke detector beeps once every minute (for up to
30 days) to remind you to replace the battery.
• You must change this battery when you hear this signal.
• Even so, the smoke detector remains functional in this condition.
• You must test the smoke detector each time you change the battery.
• Carry out the test as detailed above.
Putting into operation
Note
To ensure a long service life and reliable operation, we recommend using
the following high-quality batteries:
• RM10 VdS: Alkaline 9V block battery Duracell MN1604 or Energizer 255
• RM15 VdS: Lithium 9V block battery EVE CR9V/P or Ultralife U9VL-J-P
Alarms and error signals
When the alarm threshold is exceeded, a loud alarm sounds.
• The alarm continues sounding as long as there is smoke in the detection chamber.
• The alarm is only switched o when there is no more smoke in the detection
chamber.
What to do if there is a false alarm?
A false alarm can occur due to very high air humidity, the build-up of smoke whilst
cooking or a large build-up of dust, for example.
• If the alarm sounds, rst get yourself to safety. If you are certain that it is a false
alarm, you can disassemble the detector and disconnect the battery.
• The smoke detector will switch o automatically once the smoke particles have
le the smoke chamber inside the detector.
Note
• Protect the device from dust, dirt and moisture.
