6. Initial Testing and Checking of Alarm
•
Before powering up/testing CHECK THAT WIRING POLARITY is
correct and all connections are tight. REVERSING POLARITY will
damage all interconnected alarms, and damage is not covered by
the Guarantee. Slide alarm fully home on base plate before
powering up, to prevent arcing across the contact blades.
•
Having energised circuit, press and hold the test button – the alarm
should sound and other interconnected ones also, within a few
seconds.
•
Do this for all alarms.
•
If any do not sound, isolate mains and recheck cabling.
•
If the red L.E.D. blinks every 30-40 seconds and the alarm chirps in
between, it indicates fault with the sensing chamber. Press and hold
the test button to perform a reset but if the unit re-enters fault mode
replace the alarm.
•
Advise the house-holder (if present) as to how to test the alarms.
5. Interconnecting
Line
Neutral
Interconnect (I/O)*
* Interconnect only – if single alarm installation, leave unconnected the I/O terminal.
These are double insulated products and do not need earthing: never use
earth conductor to interconnect – use 3 core and earth cable. Use
black in 3 core & earth cabling, for interconnect line.
If installing using old cabling (different colors), take great care .
House Cabling Refer to IEE Reqs
•
A maximum of 24 Quell devices may be interconnected in a multiple
station arrangement.
•
Crossing line and neutral connections or line and interconnect
connections will fatally damage all interconnected alarms invalidating
the guarantee.
•
All interconnected alarms must be powered off the same fuse/circuit
breaker.
•
Total cable length between alarms must not exceed 250m and be
1.5mm core diameter. Wiring must be installed in conformance with AS
3000.
