Visit Smoke Alarm, BE1480
Thank you for choosing products from Bellman & Symfon. The Visit system consists of
a number of radio transmitters and receivers. The transmitters detect different events
in the surrounding area and transmit a radio signal to the receivers. The receivers
pick up this signal and provide indications using light, sound and/or vibration. The
transmitter determines what type of light, sound or vibration should be displayed so
that the reason for the indication is evident.
Read through the entire user manual first and then start to install the system.
Refer to the illustration of the Visit system on the inside of the cover.
The Visit smoke alarm can be used in the BE1460 Visit fire alarm solution. The fire
alarm system provides increased safety because the radio link is monitored and a
warning is provided if there is a fault. Refer to the Guard Receiver Manual for more
information.
Getting started
Unpacking and testing the unit
1
Undo the ceiling bracket (5) by turning the smoke alarm anticlockwise. Fit one 9V
battery, either a Duracell MN1604, Energizer 522 (alkaline) or Ultralife U9VL-J-P
(lithium) in the battery compartment (4). Wait for about 10 seconds while the
smoke alarm carries out a self-test. The self-test is finished when the LED (1) blinks
once.
2
Extend the antenna (2) so that it points down. Hold down the Test Button (1). After
about five seconds the Visit smoke alarm will beep with a shrill tone and transmit
a radio signal.
3
The Visit receivers will indicate the smoke alarm.
Fitting the Smoke Alarm
Preferably place the Visit smoke alarm in the centre of the ceiling outside the
bedrooms, but at least 50 cm from any wall. If the bedrooms are located in different
areas of the house, we would recommend having a Visit smoke alarm outside each
bedroom. We would also recommend that at least one Visit smoke alarm be installed
on each floor of a multi-storey property.
The antenna (2) should be straight and pointed directly down to achieve best
coverage between Visit smoke alarms and receivers within the Visit system. Always
check that the receivers are within the smoke alarm's coverage area. Refer to Getting
started/Testing and maintenance.
Avoid installing alarms in kitchens, fireplaces or garages, as the smell of cooking or
occasional fires and car exhausts may cause an alarm to be indicated. The Visit smoke
alarm should not be installed in damp spaces, close to fans, etc. or in agricultural
buildings.
Do not paint over the Visit smoke alarm.
