Introduction

The Smoke Alarm Remote Control model 6000 THL allows compatible Lifesaver Smoke Alarms to be conveniently tested, hushed and located. It has a memory feature and status indication. This controller is wireless and will provide home owners with a more convenient method to identify which smoke alarm has activated, easily silence alarms and also promote regular testing of smoke alarms. The Smoke Alarm Remote Control will only control compatible 240VAC mains powered smoke alarm models that are mounted on the 6000WB Wireless Base.
Important: Only compatible smoke alarms will operate with the remote control.
Failing to use the correct smoke alarm and accessories may render the system inoperable.

One Smoke Alarm Remote Control can operate up to 23 smoke alarms on a wireless system.

The wireless signal uses radio frequency to create an interlinked network of smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm activates, it will trigger other smoke alarms within the same wireless network. The Smoke Alarm Remote Control will test, hush and locate smoke alarms within the same wireless network.
