7.4 LED display (red LED)
The red LED as ALARM indicator is part of the smoke detector. It can be seen th-
rough the test button on the cover of the detector. If the red LED flashes once in
344 seconds, it indicates that the detector is in normal mode. When the detector
senses smoke and simultaneously gives off an audible alarm, then the red LED
flashes once every 0.67 seconds.
7.5 Testing the smoke detector
Test the detector once a week (7.2 Functional test). The test can take up to 20
seconds until the alarm is heard. These are methods to ensure that the smoke
detector is working properly. If the detector fails and does not work properly, it
should be repaired or replaced.
Caution! Never use an open flame to test your detector. This could result in a fire
causing damage to the detector and your home.
The built-in test switch tests all the detector functions. These are the only correct
ways to test the device.
Caution! If you do not test the device and you hear a continuous alarm sound,
it means that the detector has sensed smoke or combustion particles in the
air. Check whether the alarm is a warning of a potentially serious situation that
requires your immediate attention.
The alarm could be caused by unfavourable circumstances. Steam as well as
smoke and soot from the oven can trigger a fault alarm. When this happens, open
a window or fan the air to remove the steam and smoke or soot particles. The
alarm is switched off automatically once the air is completely clean.
