Operation: Testing - Blaupunkt ISD-SD1 Manuel De L'utilisateur

member must hear the alarm's warning
sound and quickly respond to it to reduce
the risk of damage or injury that may
result from fire.
7: Smoke alarm devices can only sound their
alarms when they detect smoke or detect
combustion particles in the air. They do
not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke
alarm device is designed to give audible
warning of a developing fire. However,
many fires are fast - burning, explosive,
or intentional, and others are caused
by carelessness or safety hazards. In this
circumstances, Smoke may not remake
the unit alarm quickly enough to ensure
safe escape.
8: Smoke alarm devices have limitations. This
smoke alarm device is not foolproof and is
not warranted to protect lives or property
from fire. Smoke alarm devices are not
a substitute for insurance. Homeowners
and renters should insure their lives and
property. In addition, it is possible for the
smoke alarm device to fail at any time.
For this reason, you must test the smoke
alarm device weekly and replace unit
every 10 years.
Do Not install the Mini Smoke alarm
device in the following places:
1: Near appliances or areas where normal
combustion
Regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces,
hot water heaters). Use specialized
smoke alarm device with unwanted alarm
control for this areas.
2: In areas with high humidity, like
bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or
washing machines. Install al least 10feet
away from these areas.
3: Near air returns or heating and cooling
supply vents. Install at least 3 feet away
from these areas. The air could blow smo-
ke away from the detector, interrupting
its alarm.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall be-
low 0°C or rise above 40°C , or in humidity
higher than 93%. These conditions will
reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm.
5: In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect – infes-
ted areas influence particles interfere with
smoke alarm device operation.
Operation:
Testing
Power on the alarm when mounting onto
the bracket. Test the unit to ensure proper
operation by pressing the test button,
this will sound the alarm if the electronic
circuitry. If no alarm sounds, there is a defec-
tive battery or other failure, you can refer to
"Trouble shooting" section for solution.
DO NOT use an open flame to test your
alarm, you could
damage the alarm or ignite combustible
materials and start a fire.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels)
of the alarm,
Always stand an arms-length away from the
unit when testing.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper
operation. Erratic or low sound coming
from your alarm may indicate a defective
alarm. Refer to "Trouble shooting" section
for solution.
LED indicators
Red LED-Flashing once every 40 seconds:
indicates that the smoke alarm device is
operating properly.
Red LED-Flashing: when the test button is
pressed, or when the smoke alarm device
senses particles of combustion and goes
into alarm (constant pulsating sound),
the red LED will flash once per second.
The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will
continue until the air is clean again or
anybody pressed the test button to silence
the alarming (Hush mode). Red LED-Alarm
silencer (Hush mode) indication: The red
LED will flash once every 8 seconds, indica-
ting the smoke alarm device is in the alarm
silence (Hush) mode.
Low battery indication - An intermittent
"chirp" with red LED flashes once every 40
seconds: indicates that the smoke alarm
device is low battery.
Fault indication - The alarm chirp occurs
every 40 seconds.
NOTE: When the units chirp once every
40 seconds, you can press the test button
temporarily for pausing this warning tone
for 10 hours, it can still normally detect
smoke during this period, it only avoids the
nuisance-warning tone. You can refer to
"Trouble shooting" for solution, if there are
still failures, you MUST replace it with a
new alarm at once or contact you retailer
during warranty.
