INSTALLATION
6.3
TEST & Battery Backup:
6.3.1
Homeguard model HG1000 will not function without a properly installed
battery. They are equipped with a battery lockout feature which prevents the
battery door from closing if a battery is not installed correctly (See Image
1D ).
6.3.2
To ensure proper operation of models with battery backup, press the Test
button for at least 5 seconds, or until the alarm sounds (without the AC
power connected). All interconnected, battery backed-up alarms, should
respond.
6.3.3
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an
arms-length away from the unit when testing.
6.3.4
Turn on the AC power. The green LED power indicator should be lit when the
alarm is operating from AC power.
6.3.5
Confirm unit operation by pressing the Test button again.
6.3.6
The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is applied, a fresh battery is
installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization sensor cham-
ber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) alarm until
the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
6.4
Alarm Tamper Resist Feature:
6.4.1
The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is applied, a fresh battery is
installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionisation sensor
chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) alarm
until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
NOTE: The tamper-resistant pin will have to be removed in order to
change the battery . Use long nose pliers to pull the pin out of the hole.
It is now possible to remove the alarm from the mounting plate (See
Image 1E ).
