14. TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING THE RF LINK

If when checking the RadioLINK interconnection some of the alarms do not respond to the button test,

then:

(i) Ensure you have held the test button down for up to 10 seconds and the RadioLINK Indicator light has

come on continuously for 3.5 seconds.

(ii) Re-locate/rotate the units. There are a number of reasons why the radio signals may not reach all the

Carbon Monoxide / Smoke Alarms in your system (see Section 8.2 on “Limitations of Radio

Communications”). Try rotating the units or re-locating the units (e.g. move them away from metal

surfaces or wiring) as this can significantly improve signal reception.

Rotating and/or relocating the units may move them out of the range of existing units even though they

may have already been House Coded correctly in the system. It is important therefore to check that all

detectors are communicating in their final installed positions. If units are rotated and/or resited, we

recommend that all units are returned to the factory settings - see section 12 “Technical Specifications”

on how to clear house codes. Then House Code all units again in their final positions as per Section 4

“Installation”. The RadioLINK interconnection should then be checked by counting the number of flashes

and button testing all units.

(iii) Add another RadioLINK unit to act as a Repeater.

Note: The Ei262 will only transmit alarm RF messages as long as the CO Alarm is detecting Carbon

Monoxide (or for 30 minutes) whichever is the shorter. This is to prolong the battery life in other

RadioLINK units which may just have primary batteries. The Ei262 will continue to sound its horn as long

as the carbon monoxide gas is present.
