What to do if the Alarm Sounds
1. Alert every person in the premises, paying particular care to alert any small
children and elderly persons.
2. Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every second counts, so don’t waste
time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
3. When leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If the
door feels hot or if you see smoke seeping through the cracks, don’t open that door!
Instead, use your alternate exit. If inside door is cool, place your shoulder against it,
open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
4. Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a wet cloth if
possible.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
6. Call the Fire Brigade on 000.
7. Don’t return to your home until officials say that it is safe to do so. For further
information on fire safety contact your local Fire Brigade.
Testing
Regularly testing the alarm is imperative to ensure the proper function of the alarm
and the safety of all occupants. The testing of the 217E-02 alarm can be by one of
the following methods.
1. A test will begin after pushing the test button for three seconds. This test will
include the sounding of the alarm, and will trigger a test on all other alarms
that are part of the RF network.
2. A more in-depth test can also be triggered via the SENSOR portal. The
additional tested functions tested via the portal include battery percentage, RF
interconnection, and alarm volume.
3. It is recommended that testing be completed at least once every twelve months.
