VST-RM588 Remote Control Switch Functionality Indicators
1. When a wireless Smoke and Heat alarm is activated, the Fire light on the Remote Control will flash
continually before alarm turning off.
2. When a wireless Carbon Monoxide alarm is activated, the Carbon Monoxide light on the Remote Control
will flash continually before alarm turning off.
3. When batteries reach low level, three LED indicators on the unit will flash every 3 second in the same time.
What to do when the Alarms sounds
1. If there is a fire, immediately evacuate the premises and telephone the fire brigade from outside. If the
Carbon Monoxide light is flashing, open doors & windows while evacuating the premises. Telephone the
appropriate authorities to report a Carbon Monoxide alarm has been activated.
2. When a Smoke/Heat alarm /Alarm strobe light sounds and the cause is not obvious, immediately press the
‘Locate’ switch. This will silence all the alarms except those sensing the fire.
3. Locate the alarm(s) sensing fire audibly. Be careful, check doors are not warm and that there is no sign of
smoke before you open them (See escape plan in Smoke Alarm instructions for further details).
4. If you are fully satisfied that there is no fire but the Smoke/Heat alarm and Alarm strobe light is still
continuing to alarm then press the ‘Silence’ switch.
The Remote Control allows you to Locate, Silence or Test units as follows:
• Locate button – primarily used to identify the Smoke/Heat/CO Alarm sensing fire/CO.
When all the alarms are sounding due to a fire/CO (or nuisance alarm):
Press and release Locate button. The RF indicator green light will come on continuously for 15 seconds indicate
that an RF signal is being transmitted.
This will silence all the alarms except those sensing fire/CO.
This is a very useful feature. For example, consider twelve alarms sounding simultaneously, then the unit sensing
the fire/CO can be identified audibly and the premises evacuated or the problem quickly resolved.
• Silence Button -Used to silence nuisance alarms. This should only be pressed after the Locate button has been
used to identify the Smoke/Heat/CO alarm that triggered the system, and it is determined that no fire or CO is
present.
Do not Silence the alarms unless you are sure there is no fire/CO.
Press and release the silence button. The RF indicator green light will come on for 15 seconds to indicate that an
RF signal is being transmitted.
• Test Button– Use to test the Smoke/Heat/CO alarms and Alarm Strobe light or bases weekly. Switch the Test
switch on. The RF indicator green light will come on for 15 seconds to indicate that an RF signal is being
transmitted.
Then:- the red light on the smoke alarm will flash rapidly (This indicates that the alarm has been tested in exactly
the same way as if the test button of the alarm itself had been pressed. The alarm will also now be in Hush mode
for the next 10 minutes).
4. HOW TO SET THE WIRELESS INTERCONNECTION FUNCTION
The 1-4 numeric is for ID coding, total 16 coding. The switch usage is given in the table below (See TABLE1). ID
0 (coding 0000) is a public ID, it can communicate with other 15 IDs. Except ID0, the devices can only
communicate with each other in same ID coding.
