Optical (Photo-Electric) alarms

are less prone to nuisance

alarms from

cooking fumes. They are therefore the recommended type in AS3786,

for fitting near kitchen areas and on escape routes/circulation spaces.

AS3786 recommend however, that optical alarms are also used

especially in locations where steam or cooking fumes, from a nearby

room could cause nuisance alarms.

No one type of alarm is considered suitable for all locations.

3. How to Operate/Test the Alarm

a. Operation and L.E.D. Status

• When your alarm is correctly installed to the mains supply, the green

L.E.D. light will be on. The red L.E.D. will blink every 30-40 seconds to

indicate the sensor is operating correctly. If the alarm senses products

of combustion, its 85dB horn will be activated.

The red L.E.D. will flash

rapidly on the alarm sensing smoke.

(Other interconnected alarms will

also sound to warn those in other parts of the property). This will

continue until the sensor chamber is clear.

If the red L.E.D. blinks every 30-40 seconds and the alarm chirps in

between, it indicates a fault with the sensing chamber. Press and hold

the test button to perform a reset but if the unit re-enters fault mode

replace the alarm.

Regularly check and ensure that the green L.E.D. is lit – if not,

check the consumer unit/circuit breaker connection. As with

previous point above, if in doubt, consult an electrician or your

Landlord.
