SENSITIVITY TEST
1. Press and hold the TEST/SILENCE button for 4 seconds. Once the test starts, the smoke alarm LED flashes 1 to 9
times.
2. Count the number of LED flashes and use the following table to determine if any action is necessary.
FLASHES INDICATION ACTION
0-1 Unserviceable hardware fault. Reset and rerun sensitivity test. If
the error persists, replace the unit.
2-3 Unit is becoming insensitive. Clean and reset the unit. Rerun sensitivity test. If the error persists, replace the
unit.
4-7 Unit is within normal sensitivity range No action required
8-9 Unit is becoming too sensitive. Verify that the optical chamber is
snapped down securely. Clean the unit and replace the optical chamber.
After the LED flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests pass,
the unit goes into alarm and resets after 7 seconds. If the sensitivity is not
within limits, or an unserviceable hardware fault has been detected, the unit
LED extinguishes until the unit is serviced.
LED FUNCTIONS
Flashing — Flashes every 9 seconds to indicate normal operation.
On — Detects smoke
Off — Trouble or maintenance is required.
Case Tamper Detection
Removing the cover of the SW-ATT-SMKT will cause the integral transmitter to send a case tamper report to the Digital Life
Controller. This tamper condition will remain on the system until the case cover is installed and the integral transmitter sends a
tamper restore to the Digital Life Controller.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES
When the batteries are low; the integral transmitter will send a low battery report to the Digital Life Controller,
extinguish its LED and chirps every 45 seconds until the batteries are replaced. The low battery trouble chirps can be
silenced for 24 hours by pressing the TEST/SILENCE button. Battery life is a minimum of one year, and varies depending
on how often the unit is tested.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
Use only 3V lithium batteries listed on the battery compartment cover.
1. Remove the unit from the mounting base, grasp the unit and turn it
Counter clockwise approximately 15 degrees.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the smoke alarm to
unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure 2.
3. Remove the batteries and dispose of them properly.
4. Observing correct polarity, insert two new CR123A 3V lithium batteries into the battery compartment
and replace the cover.
5. Reattach the unit to the mounting base. See Installation, Step 6.
6. Test the system.
CLEANING
Clean the cover with a dry or damp (water) cloth as needed to keep it free from dust and dirt.
When necessary, clean the interior and replace the optical chamber (part number ??????) as follows:
1. To remove the unit from the mounting base, grasp the unit and turn it Counter-clockwise approximately 15
degrees.
2. Remove the batteries.
3. Slide a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot on the alarm cap and gently push the handle down to pry the alarm cap
up and off. See Figure 4.
4. Squeeze the optical chamber where indicated and pull it up and away from the optical base and discard. See
Figure 5.
