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;
Part No. | Device |
---|---|
W00794 | RadioLINK Battery Powered Optical Smoke Alarm |
W00795 | RadioLINK Battery Powered Heat Alarm |
W00796 | RadioLINK Battery Powered CO Alarm |
W00797 | RadioLINK Mains Powered Strobe & Vibrating Pad |
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.
- Set the keyswitch on the telecare interface to the ON position.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
