Program Procedure
1. Press the test button on the first installed unit three times
within 1.5 seconds. The blue light will come on momentarily
each time to show the button is operating. (If the horn sounds
during these short button depressions, just ignore it). The blue
light will now flash once every 5 seconds. The unit now sends
a radio message every 5 seconds stating it is in the program
mode and containing its own serial number. It is also looking
for similar messages from other units.
2. Similarly press the test button three times on the second
installed unit. After about 30 seconds each of the two units
will be flashing the blue light twice every 5 seconds to indicate
it has detected and learned the serial number of two units (i.e.
itself and the other unit).
3. Similarly press the test button on the third unit, three times
to put it in the program mode. After about 30 seconds all the
units will be flashing the blue light three times every 5 sec-
onds to indicate there are now three units on the system.
4. Similarly press the test button three times on all the other
units to put them in the program mode. (If a Remote Control
Ei410 is to be used it must also be put into the program mode
at this time by holding the Test and Locate button down
simultaneously (see "RF Remote Control" section below). On
each smoke alarm the blue light will flash rapidly to show the
number of units with which it has communicated.
The units will stay in program mode for 15 minutes and then
reset automatically. ( A smoke alarm can be taken out of pro-
gram mode quickly by pressing the test button three times in
1.5 seconds).
N.B. The quickest method of programming the system is to
put all units into the program mode at the same time.
Additional Units
Additional RF alarms can be added to the system at any time.
Siimply put all the units, the additional units and those previ-
ously installed, into the program mode at the same time.
6.4 Troubleshooting RF Interconnection
If, for example, there are 6 units in the system, but two of the
units are only flashing 5 times, it indicates that these two units
are not communicating. Try resiting / rotating the units (e.g.
move it away from metal surfaces or wiring) until they both
flash 6 times while in the program mode.
Note: Resiting/rotating units may move them out of the range
of existing units even though they may have learned all serial
numbers in the system. It is important therefore to check that
all 6 detectors are communicating in their final installed posi-
tions.
