The RadioLINK hearing impaired smoke alarm kit is designed for installation in dwellings occupied by deaf or hard of hearing people. If fire is detected the smoke alarm will sound a loud audible alert, the strobe unit will flash a strong white light (excellent for day and night-time alerting) and the under- pillow pad will vibrate to awake the heaviest sleeper.
A fire alarm call will also be transmitted to the ARC or the local Manager via the telecare interface module.
Smoke Alarm Positioning
The smoke alarm should be sited at least 300mm from light fittings and walls, ideally as centrally as possible in the room. Smoke alarms should be positioned no more than 600mm below the highest point in the room. If positioning on the wall, the top of the smoke alarm must be between 150mm and 300mm below the ceiling and at least 300mm from an adjacent wall.
Optical smoke alarms are less prone to false alarms from cooking fumes and are therefore suitable for locating near kitchens. Like other smoke alarms they can be susceptible to nuisance alarms from steam and should not be placed near bathrooms. Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for more information on positioning. Fitting the smoke alarm onto its base plate will automatically switch-on its battery supply.
Strobe & Vibrating Pad Positioning
The strobe unit can be left free-standing on a bedside cabinet or fixed to the wall so it can be seen from the bed. The vibrating pad should be plugged- in to the strobe unit and placed under the pillow. The strobe unit must have its standby battery fitted and be plugged into the mains supply.
Telecare Interface Positioning
The telecare interface unit can be free-standing or fixed to the wall somewhere out of sight. This communicates via the RadioLINK network and must be within 30m of the smoke alarm and strobe unit. The telecare interface unit must have its battery switched on before being plugged into the mains supply.

Normal Operation

The green MAINS/STANDBY light on the strobe unit should be on when the mains supply is connected. The green power light on the telecare interface should also be on. Note: to conserve battery life the smoke detector does not have any visual indication that the power is on
Alarm Condition
The smoke alarm will repeatedly sound loud beeps and the red light will flash 2 times every second.
The red ALARM light on the strobe unit will flash once every 2 seconds, the white strobe light will flash 40 times a minute, and the pillow pad will vibrate 2 seconds on/2 seconds off. Check if there is a fire hazard and leave the building immediately.
DANGER: Never ignore any alarm. If you are not certain of the cause, leave the building immediately.
Low Battery Condition
If the smoke alarm chirps every 32 seconds and the red light flashes at the same time, this indicates the battery inside the smoke alarm is running low. The complete smoke alarm must be replaced as soon as possible.
The telecare transceiver battery (located inside the telecare interface) is self-tested once a day, if it’s low for 7 consecutive days a low battery condition will be reported once a week. The transceiver should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.
Fault Conditions
If the vibrating pad is disconnected the yellow FAULT light will flash on the strobe unit once every 5 seconds and the white strobe light will flash continuously (40/min).
If the mains supply is off and the strobe unit is operating on battery power alone, the MAINS/STANDBY light will flash yellow once every 5 seconds. If the battery power is running low the yellow FAULT light will also flash once every 5 seconds.
The yellow FAULT indication on the strobe unit will clear when the fault condition is rectified.
Out of Range Notification (Reach IP)
The Reach IP can monitor all radio peripheral devices to determine whether they have been damaged or removed from an installation. Should the Reach IP be unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced immediately. The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to 99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each peripheral device in Pulse CMP.

Maintenance

Test the smoke alarm once every month.
Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment. Do not use solvents or cleaners on the smoke alarm as they may cause damage to the sensor, the unit can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Do not paint the smoke alarm as this may block the vents and prevent smoke from entering the sensor.
Disposal
** Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste. All elements of the smoke alarm system are ideally suited for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.
RadioLINK Network
When RadioLINK devices are interlinked together they create a local “mesh network” of wireless signals. This means if one alarm is activated then all others in the network will also sound. Up to 12 devices can be interlinked together on one network.
Additional RadioLINK Devices**
The following devices are available to expand the smoke alarm system to provide fire and CO detection in other areas within the same dwelling;

How to install the Telecare Interface

For your own safety, BEFORE plugging the Telecare interface into the mains supply, un-clip the top cover using a small flat bladed screwdriver in the slot to the right of the power symbol. Switch the standby battery ON and also check the DIP switches are set as shown below…

Clip the top cover back into place and secure with the 2 small screws through the holes in the bottom face. Connect the mains supply and the green power light will illuminate.
The keyswitch position determines what alarm types are transmitted to the ARC or local Manager.

| |
---|---|---
In the OFF position NO alarm calls or test calls are transmitted| In the ON position only genuine alarm calls are transmitted| In the TEST position genuine alarm calls and test calls are
transmitted

Indicator lights shine through the lid of the telecare interface to show the following conditions…
FIRE = smoke/heat alarm call transmitted
SERVICE = flashes if a detector has a low battery or fault
CO = carbon monoxide alarm transmitted
= flashes during RadioLINK setup mode
= mains supply connected
Note: the SERVICE status is not transmitted, identify the detector with a low battery or fault and replace it. The SERVICE indicator will then stop flashing within a max of 5 hours. Alternatively, turn the keyswitch to the TEST position and button-test any device to clear the indicator.
IMPORTANT: the telecare interface must always be plugged-in to the mains supply and the keyswitch should be left in the ON position for normal operation. Place the telecare interface safely out of the way, e.g. under the bed.
How to install the Strobe Unit
Squeeze the 2 clips to remove the battery cover from the bottom of the strobe unit. Plug-in the rechargeable battery and fit into the compartment with the battery corner cut-out and wires placed flat as shown below…

Clip the battery cover back into place.
Plug the vibration pad into PAD socket on the strobe unit.
Choose a suitable location for the strobe unit. If it is being wall mounted, use the template on page 9 of the manufacturers instruction booklet to mark the wall. Drill 2 holes and fix with the wall plugs and screws provided.
Place the vibration pad under the pillow.
Connect the mains supply and the MAINS/STANDBY light should illuminate green.
Carefully route the cables to prevent a trip hazard.
IMPORTANT: the strobe unit must always be left plugged-in to the mains supply.

How to install the Smoke Alarm

Make sure you have read and understood the instructions on positioning the smoke alarm before starting.
The base plate must be securely fixed to the ceiling or wall.
Use the fixing slots on the base plate as a guide when marking the position of the drill holes. Fix with the screws and plugs provided.
Position the smoke alarm on the base plate then twist it clockwise until the alarm is fully locked in position…

WARNING: removing the alarm from its base plate will de-activate the unit and prevent it from detecting smoke.
Testing the Smoke Alarm System
The smoke detector, strobe unit and telecare interface have had the RadioLINK network setup in the factory.
If for some reason you suspect the network is not setup, or if you want to add additional devices, see the “Setting-up a RadioLINK Network” section below.
The smoke alarm system must be registered onto the Reach IP or Advent XT2 system – see the relevant sections on page 4.

1. Set the keyswitch on the telecare interface to the ON position.
2. Press and hold the Test/Hush button on the smoke alarm, it will sound loud beeps and the red light will flash. Keep the Test/Hush button pressed and after a short delay the red ALARM light on the strobe unit will start to flash, the white strobe light will flash and the pillow pad will vibrate.
3. Press and hold the Test/Hush buttons on any additional smoke, heat or CO alarms that have been added to the RadioLINK network. Each device should activate the red ALARM light on the strobe unit, flash the white strobe light and vibrate the pad. The sounder should sound on all detectors when one is activated.
4. Press and hold the TEST button on the strobe unit; the smoke alarm and any additional alarms will all sound, the white strobe light will flash and the pad will vibrate.

NOTE: the above tests WILL NOT transmit an alarm call to the ARC or the local Manager.
To test a smoke alarm call through to the ARC or local Manager set the keyswitch on the telecare interface to the TEST position. Before activating an alarm call ensure the ARC or local Manager is made aware you are going to perform a test.
A test call from a smoke or heat alarm should report as “fire” and the CO alarm should report as “carbon monoxide”.
NOTE: set the telecare interface keyswitch back to the ON position when the test call is complete.
IMPORTANT: with the telecare interface keyswitch in the OFF position NO genuine alarm calls or button-test calls will be reported to the ARC or local Manager.
Setting-up a RadioLINK Network
Plug-in and switch on the strobe unit. Using a ballpoint pen, press and hold the House Code button until the RadioLINK LED lights-up blue then release…

You now have 15 minutes to House Code the telecare interface and the smoke alarm plus any other additional devices being added to the system.

Setting-up a RadioLINK Network

Plug-in and switch on the telecare interface unit. Using a ballpoint pen, press and hold the House Code button until the RadioLINK LED lights-up blue then release…

On the back of the smoke alarm, press and hold the House Code button until the RadioLINK LED on the front lights-up blue then release…

Now check the blue RadioLINK LED is flashing 3 times on all 3 devices – this indicates there are 3 devices learned into the RadioLINK network. Repeat the same process of pressing the House Code button on any additional devices being installed. For example, if an additional heat and CO alarm were added then all devices should then be flashing 5 times.
The House Code mode will time-out after 15 minutes or it can be exited at any time by pressing the House Code button on the strobe unit until the RadioLINK LED goes steady blue then release. All devices in the network should stop flashing blue.
Telecare Radio ID
The telecare interface includes a radio transceiver to communicate with the Reach IP, Advent XT2 or Carer Response.
