13.TROUBLESHOOTING
1.FREQUENT NUISANCE ALARMS OCCUR:
(1)Close kitchen / bathroom door when in use.
(2)Ensure that the alarm is sited at least 6m away from sources of fumes.
(3)Contamination from insects, paint or paint fumes may have occurred. Clean the alarm - see “CLEANING YOUR ALARM” section on page 6.
(4)If the problem persists, resiting of the unit should be considered.
2. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:
(1)Identify the alarm source. On interconnected units, the red light on the cover will flash rapidly only on the unit which is the source of the alarm. If an optional Ei1529RC Control Switch is installed, press Locate when system is sounding to identify source of alarm.
(2)Check for fumes, steam etc. from the kitchen or bathroom. Paint and other fumes can cause nuisance alarms.
(3)Press the test/hush button to silence the Smoke/Heat Alarm for 10 minutes.
(4)If alarm does not stop, switch off mains and remove unit - see “ALARM REMOVAL” section on page 2. (Only remove the alarm with the red light flashing, the others are probably satisfactory).
3.LOW BATTERY & OTHER BEEPS: (On Ei141/144/146 only)
If the battery is correctly connected and the unit has beeped for over 20 minutes the battery is probably depleted. Obtain a new battery, disconnect the mains, then remove the alarm and replace the depleted battery.
(On Ei161RC/164RC/166RC only)
Check the green mains power light is on. If not, check fuse, circuit breakers and wiring connections. If the green light is off, the Lithium cells will deplete after some months without mains and will need to be recharged. If turning on the mains fails to stop the beeps, a fault may exist. Switch off mains and remove the unit - see “ALARM REMOVAL” section on page 2.
