Manufacturer Recommendations for the Care and
Maintenance of your SENSOR Smoke Alarms
To ensure the optimal performance of your SENSOR smoke alarms, please familiarise
yourself with the following care and maintenance instructions.
Cleaning your SENSOR Smoke Alarm
• Cobwebs on or near the alarm can cause nuisance false positive alarm sounds.
Ensure your alarm is always free from cobwebs by regularly vacuuming the smoke
vent on the face of the alarm.
• Clean the alarm housing by wiping the alarm gently with a damp cloth to remove
any dust, then dry the alarm thoro
ughly.
The alarm housing must remain closed during cleaning. An open alarm is an
electrocution risk.
SENSOR Notifications
SENSOR smoke alarms are connected wirelessly to a SENSOR Hub which is also installed in
your property. This connected ecosystem is designed to automatically report the alarm
connection status and any alarm faults to the property manager or homeowner.
If debris is detected within the smoke alarm chamber, you may be contacted by phone,
email, or SMS with cleaning instructions.
Testing your SENSOR Alarms
SENSOR alarms can be tested in two ways: manually and remotely. To manually test your
alarms, press the TEST button on one of the alarms for three (3) seconds. Testing can also
be organised remotely by your property manager. Remote testing does not require a
person visiting your home. You will receive an SMS notification when the alarms are due to
be tested. You will be asked to nominate a convenient time to schedule the testing.
If more than one SENSOR alarm is installed and connected to the SENSOR network, testing
one alarm will cause all alarms to sound. During remote testing, testing one alarm will
cause all alarms to sound in sequence. When performing a manual test, all alarms will
sound simultaneously.
