Modes Of Operation; Cleaning And Maintenance - Sygonix 2520086 Bedienungsanleitung

7.3 Modes of operation

7.3.1 Normal operation
Under normal operation, the red LED flashes once every 40 seconds.
7.3.2 Alarm mode
When the smoke concentration reaches the alarm point, the red LED starts to flash, and the
smoke detector beeps.
7.3.3 Test mode
When you briefly press the "Test" button, the red LED starts to flash, the alarm emits three
beeps twice and stops automatically.
7.3.4 Battery too weak
When the battery is empty, the red indicator flashes twice every 40 seconds. Two short beeps
are emitted at the same time. In that case, replace the flat battery with a new one.
7.3.5 Device error
The red LED flashes twice every 40 seconds and the alarm beeps twice every 40 seconds.
7.3.6 Standby mode
You can switch the smoke detector from the alarm mode to the standby mode (alarm off) by
pressing and holding the "Test" button on the smoke detector. If the smoke concentration is
still too high during the standby mode that remains active for 9 minutes, the wireless smoke
detector triggers an alarm.
If the smoke detector signals an alarm, check whether the seat of fire does exist. If
fire or smoke is detected, alert your family, and everyone must leave the building.
Call the fire department. If there is no fire or smoke, check the device for functiona-
lity. Refer to the chapter "What to do in case of an alarm?" and "Nuisance alarm".

When other problems/faults occur, remove the battery and re-insert it correctly after
a short time (approx. 1 minute) and then check that the smoke detector functions
correctly.
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, do not disassemble the smoke detector!
Contact your local dealer or manufacturer for more information.
9 Sketching an escape plan and performing an emergency drill
Sketch a plan of your flat or house that shows all doors and windows and at least two
escape routes for each room. A rope ladder may be necessary for windows on the second
floor.
Discuss the escape plan with your family and explain what should be done in the event of
fire or smoke.
Designate a meeting spot outside of your home.
Show everyone how the wireless smoke detector sounds when it triggers an alarm. Every-
one must be sure to leave the house immediately when they hear that sound.
Perform the smoke/fire alarm drill at least every 6 months. Drills will help you to put your
evacuation plan to the test before an actual emergency may arise. It may happen that you
cannot reach your children in a case of fire. They must know too what to do and how to
behave.

10 What to do in case of an alarm?
The alarm stops when the air is free from smoke again.
If an alarm sounds, leave your flat or house immediately according to the agreed escape
plan. Every second counts; do not waste time getting dressed or trying to take your valu-
ables with you.
Before opening any door, check if it is hot. If the door is hot, or if you see smoke coming in
from under the door, do not open the door! Use the alternative escape route instead. If the
door is cool, press your shoulder against it, open the door slightly and be ready to slam it
back again if heat and smoke penetrate from the room behind it.
If the air is full of smoke, stay low to the floor. Breathe through a cloth (if possible) mois-
tened with water.
Once you have made your way out of the flat or house, proceed to the previously agreed
meeting spot and ensure everybody is there.
Call the firefighters from your neighbour's house, not your own!
Do not return to your flat or house until you have been told it is safe by the fire service.
11 Nuisance alarm
Cigarette smoke or vapour from cooking can activate the smoke detector. Nuisance alarms are
also possible in case of exposure to dust when grinding (e.g. when renovating a room) and if
too much hair spray/deodorant is sprayed in a room or similar.
Normally, smoking cigarettes in the room will not trigger the wireless smoke detector
unless the smoke is blown directly into the sensor.
If the smoke detector signals an alarm, check whether the seat of fire does exist. If fire or smoke
is detected, alert your family, and everyone must leave the building. Call the fire department.
If there is no fire or smoke, check whether the alarm could have been triggered due to the
above-mentioned reasons.

12 Cleaning and maintenance

Apart from the occasional battery change, the product is maintenance-free.
Clean the outside of the product with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Dust can be easily removed from the smoke detector with a soft, clean, long-haired brush or
a vacuum cleaner. In especially dusty environments such as bedrooms, this should be done
at least once a year.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions since these can damage the
housing or impair functioning.
For safety reasons, the smoke detector should be replaced every 8 years.
13 Range
Under optimal conditions, the range of transmission of the radio signals between the two wirel-
ess smoke detectors is up to 100 m.
This range only applies in ideal conditions with no obstructions (i.e. a direct field of
view between the transmitter and receiver without interference).
In practice, however, there may be walls, ceilings and other obstacles between the transmitter
and the receiver, which will reduce the range accordingly.
Different objects have a different impact on the range; therefore, no specific range can be
guaranteed. The range should be sufficient for use in a detached house.
Sometimes the range can be considerably reduced due to:
– Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings and metal-framed drywalls
– Coated/metallised insulated glass
– Proximity to metal and conductive objects (e.g. radiators)
– Proximity to human bodies
– Other devices on the same frequency (e.g., wireless headphones, wireless speakers)
– Proximity to electric motors/appliances, transformers, power supplies, computers
