Resumen del manual
• Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone at home knows what to do in case the alarm sounds. Further information can be obtained from the Home Office Publication or from your local fire prevention officer. • To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not paint or cover the Smoke Alarm in any manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease. • If unit has been damaged in any way or does not function properly, do not attempt a repair. Return the Alarm - see “GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED” section on page 10. • This appliance is only intended for premises having a residential type environment. • Smoke / Heat Alarms are not a substitute for insurance. The supplier or manufacturer is not your insurer. • The chamber inside the Ionisation (Ei141/161RC) Smoke Alarms contains a small amount of radioactive material (33kBq of Amercium 241). Do not tamper with the chamber. You may safely install and clean the Smoke Alarm following this leaflet’s instructions. • Do not dispose of your Alarm in a fire. 9. PLANNING YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE Use the Smoke / Heat Alarm Test Buttons to familiarise your family with the Alarm sound and to practice fire drills regularly with all family members. Draw up a floor plan that will show each member at least 2 escape routes from each room in the house. Children tend to hide when they don’t know what to do. Teach children how to escape, open windows, and use roll up fire ladders and stools without adult help. Make sure they know what to do if the alarm goes off - see overleaf. 8 B16009-R0-160RC SERIES-U&C 17/1/07 11:13 AM Page 8 1. Check room doors for heat or smoke. Do not open a hot door. Use an alternate escape route. Close doors behind you as you leave. 2. If smoke is heavy, crawl out, staying close to floor. Take short breaths, if possible, through a wet cloth or hold your breath. More people die from smoke inhalation than from flames. 3. Get out as fast as you can. Do not stop for packing. Have a prearranged meeting place outside for all family members. Check everybody is there. 4. Call the Fire Brigade from a neighbour’s house. Remember to give your name and address. 5. NEVER re-enter a burning house. Limitations of Smoke / Heat Alarms Smoke / Heat Alarms have significantly helped to reduce the number of fire fatalities in countries where they are widely installed. However independent authorities have stated that they may be ineffective in some circumstances. There are a number of reasons for this: • The Alarms will not work if the mains power is off and the battery is depleted.On the Ei141/144/146 alarms the batteries should be replaced every three years as a precaution or if the unit gives a low battery beep. • NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or high humidity may reduce the life of the Alkaline battery. • Smoke / Heat Alarms will not detect fire if sufficient smoke / heat does not reach the alarm. Smoke / heat may be prevented from reaching the Alarm if the fire is too far away, for example, if the fire is on another floor, behind a closed door, in a chimney, in a wall cavity, or if the prevailing air draughts carry the smoke / heat away. Installing Smoke / Heat Alarms on both sides of closed doors and installing more than one Smoke / Heat Alarm as recommended in the ‘INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS’ booklet significantly improves the probability of early detection. • The Alarm may not be heard. • A Smoke / Heat Alarm may not wake a person who has taken drugs or alcohol. 9 B16009-R0-160RC SERIES-U&C 17/1/07 11:13 AM Page 9 • Smoke / Heat Alarms may not detect every type of fire to give sufficient early warning. • Fire Authorities recommend that both Optical and Ionisation Smoke Alarms should be fitted for the fastest response to all types of fires. • Smoke / Heat Alarms don’t last indefinitely. For example if there is a build up of contamination, performance will be impaired. It is recommended that the Smoke / Heat Alarms are replaced after 10 years as a precaution. 10. ALARM CONTROL (OPTIONAL) Models Ei161RC / 164RC / 166RC only A System Control Switch (Ei1529RC) is available as an optional accessory. It allows the user to perform the following functions from a remote location: LOCATE - If alarms sound press Locate to allow the source of alarm to be identified. HUSH - Press Hush to silence nuisance alarms. TEST - Operate weekly to Test the alarms. MAINS CHECK -Test will not work with mains absent. 11. GETTING YOUR ALARM SERVICED If your Alarm fails to work after you have carefully read all the instructions, checked the unit has been installed correctly, and is receiving AC power (green light on) contact Customer Assistance at the address given at the end of this leaflet. If it needs to be returned for repair or replacement put it in a padded box and send it to “Customer Assistance and Information” at the nearest address given on the Alarm or in this leaflet. Do not snap on to the mounting plate as this connects the battery and the unit may beep or alarm in the ...
