(ii) Repeat ID coding procedure (see section 4).
(iii) Relocate the Remote Control Switch and/or rotate/relocate the RadioLINK units. There are a number of
reasons why the RadioLINK signals may not reach all the alarms in your system (see section 6 on “Limitations of
Radio Frequency Signals”). Try rotating the units or relocating the units (e.g. move them away from metal
surfaces or wiring) as this can significantly improve signal reception.
Rotating and/or relocating the units may move them out of the range of existing units even though they may have
already been correctly set ID in the system. It is therefore important to check that all alarms are communicating in
their final installed positions. If units are rotated and/or relocated, we recommend that all units are returned to the
factory settings .Then reset ID Code all units again in their final positions. The RadioLINK interconnection should
then be checked again.
6.LIMITATIONS OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
Electronics radio communication systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their
low transmitting power and limited range (required by regulatory bodies) there are some limitations to be
considered:
 Radio transmitter equipment, such as the Remote Control Switch, should be tested regularly (at least weekly).
This is to determine whether there are sources of interference preventing communication. The radio paths
may be disrupted by moving furniture or renovations, and so regular testing protects against these and other
faults.
 Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the
house coding.
The Remote Control Switch are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
residential installations. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Interference from the
Smoke Alarm system can be identified by temporarily turning the whole system off. Refer to the instructions
supplied with the other products used for information on these. The user is encouraged to eliminate the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
¾ Relocate the unit.
¾ Increase the distance between the Remote Control Switch and the device being affected.
¾ Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/television technician
7.END OF LIFE
The Remote Control Switch is designed to last 10 years in normal use. However the unit must be replaced if:
1. The unit is 10 years old under normal operation.
2. If the Test switch fails to operate the alarms, or the RF indicator red light looks dim or fails to turn on, the
battery in the unit may be depleted (excess use of the switch can shorten battery life).
When the two red lights flashing rapidly, it is an indication that the battery level is low and the unit should be
replaced.
The Remote Control Switch must be switched off before disposing/recycling in accordance with the directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical & electronic equipment (WEEE).
