6.1 House Code Procedure
Ensure that the battery is connected to all alarms before
beginning the house code procedure
1. Pull cover open at tab. Press the house code switch and
hold until the amber light comes on and then release. The
amber light will then flash rapidly for about 1 second to indi-
cate the unit is now in the house code mode (see fig 9&9a).
2. Similarly press and hold the house code switch on the sec-
ond installed unit until its amber light comes on and then
release. Put all the remaining alarms into the house code
mode in the same manner.
3. When in the house code mode, the amber light will flash a
number of times every 5 seconds to indicate:
(a) the alarm is in house code mode and
(b) the number of units that have been identified as being part
of your system.
For example with 3 alarms in your system, you should see 3
amber light flashes every 5 seconds, with 4 alarms in your
system you should see 4 amber light flashes and so on. The
maximum number of light flashes that can be seen is 12, even
though more alarms may be house coded in your system.
(Please note that during the house coding process one alarm may
sound for 1 minute.)
Check that the number of amber light flashes corresponds to
the number of units in the system. If not see section 5.2.
4. The units will stay in house code mode for 15 minutes and
then reset automatically. Alternatively they can be taken out of
house code mode quickly by pressing and holding the house
code switch until the amber light comes on again. The amber
light will go out immediately when the switch is released, indi-
cating that the alarm is no longer in house code mode.
(Note: The Wireless Alarms can be returned to the originally factory
settings by pressing and holding the house code switch on until the
amber light flashes slowly. This will take about 6 seconds. This can-
cels the house code mode.
Additional Wireless Smoke Alarms can be added to the sys-
tem at any time. Simply put all the units, the additional units
and those previously installed, into the house code mode at
the same time.
7. TESTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR
SMOKE ALARMS
Your smoke alarm is a life saving device and should be regu-
larly checked. Regularly check that the red light on the smoke
alarm flashes once a minute to show the units are powered.
Replace the smoke alarm if the flashing stops.
