(the horn will pause during the RF transmission). Any other installed interconnected devices should now

sound. Release the test button. The local alarm will cease and you should then be able to hear any other

alarms sounding in the distance (if any of the alarms do not sound - see Section 14 Troubleshooting on

page 36. Note: The local alarm may sound again depending on the number of repeaters in the system

as it acknowledges the repeated signals. Button test all the other hardwired interconnect devices, and/or

follow their installation instruction leaflets.

5.2.3. Pressing the test button will help to familiarise you and your family with the distinctive on-off sound

of the CO Alarm. This test checks that the electronics and horn are working correctly. (If the red alarm

light flashes when the button is pressed, see section 2.4 “CO ALARM MEMORY”). Alternatively, if an

Ei1529RC or Ei411H3 Remote Control is in the system the unit can be tested by pressing the Test switch

on these devices. This is equivalent to pressing the Test button on the Alarm. For further information see

“ACCESSORIES” section.

5.2.4. If the Alarm gives a short beep and the amber fault light flashes every 40 seconds it means the

self-checking circuit has detected a fault. Press and hold the Test/Hush button. If the amber light flashes

without the horn sounding, the sensor is faulty.

5.2.5. If the Alarm fails to operate when the Test/Hush button is pressed, switch off the mains supply at

the distribution fuse board and remove unit from mounting plate for 3 minutes. Put unit back on mounting

plate. Reconnect the mains and test again. (This procedure resets the microprocessor in the unit).

5.2.6. If the unit beeps every 40 seconds (without a light flash) it means the battery is depleted. Connect

mains power (ensure green light is on) to allow cells to charge.

5.2.7. Once a year check the rechargeable battery by switching off the mains supply and pressing the

Test /Hush button for 10 seconds. The horn should sound loudly. Reconnect the mains supply.

If the CO Alarm fails any of the above tests it must be replaced immediately (see 10 “GETTING YOUR

CO ALARM SERVICED”).
