PRODUCT SUMMARY

The 560 / 570 Series battery powered smoke detectors offer two

solutions:

• 560 Series for stand-alone applications,

• 570 Series incorporating a tamper switch is for use with a

radio transmitter to a control panel.

The operation of the 560 / 570 Series detectors are identical

except for the silence and test:

• The 570 Series cannot be silenced using the Silence / Test

button.

• The 570 Series does not issue an alarm beep at the end of

a test sequence.

• The 570 Series will transmit a tamper fault when removed

from its base.

INSTALLING THE DETECTOR

In addition to the local Fire Protection Standards, use the

following location guidelines to optimise performance and reduce

the chance of false alarms from the detector:

• Locate ceiling-mounted smoke detectors in the centre of a

room or hallway at least 10 cm (4 inches) from any walls or

partitions.

• Locate wall-mounted smoke detectors so the top of the

detector is 10 –30 cm (4 to 12 inches) below the ceiling.

• Locate away from air conditioners, radiators and any other

ventilation sources that may interfere with smoke entering

the detector.

• DO NOT mount the detector on removable ceiling panels as

the removal of these panels will render the detector

inoperable.

To install a detector

1. If you are using the detector/base lock, remove the two

knockouts

 on the mounting base. (See Figure )

2. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the detector

to unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure

:

 Battery compartment

3. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V-lithium batteries into

the detector battery compartment and replace the battery

compartment cover.

4. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the detector. The

detector is shipped with a dust cover for protection on

construction sites with dusty environments.

5. Using the two screws and anchors provided, mount the base.

6. Attach the detector to the mounting base as follows:

- Line up the raised tab on the lip of the detector with the

slot on the lip of the mounting base. (See Figure

)

- Insert the smoke detector into the base and turn

clockwise approximately 15 degrees. It should snap

firmly into place.

Important: The detector cannot be attached to the mounting

base if no batteries are installed.

7. Test the detector (See Smoke Testing the Detector).

SMOKE TESTING THE DETECTOR

Replace the batteries as described in Replacing the Batteries

below.

Test smoke detectors in place annually using canned aerosol

simulated smoke. Follow the instructions on the canned smoke.

The detector LED remains on and the alarm sounds a temporal

rhythm until the Test/Silence button is pressed. The detector

automatically resets when smoke is no longer present.

THE TEST/SILENCE BUTTON

The Test/Silence button on the detector performs these three

functions:

Testing: Press the Test/Silence button for 2 seconds. The

detector performs a sensitivity test and, in the case of the 560

Series, a sounder test.

Silence alarm (560 Series only): Press to silence the sounder

during an alarm. After a few minutes, the sounder and alarm

resume if smoke is still present.

Silence trouble chirp: Press to silence a trouble chirp. The

trouble chirp resumes after 24 hours if the trouble condition is not

corrected.

TESTING THE DETECTOR SENSITIVITY

The smoke detector provides a sensitivity level test mode that

allows you to check the smoke detector sensitivity using the

Test/Silence button and the LED indicator on the detector as

follows:

1. Press the Test/Silence button on the smoke detector for 2

seconds. Once the test starts, the alarm LED flashes one to

nine times.

2. Count the number of times the LED flashes and use the

following table to determine the status of the smoke detector

sensitivity and what action to take, if any.

After the flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all

other tests pass, the 560 Series will go into alarm, sound its

sounder, and reset after 5 seconds; the 570 Series will

remain silent.

If the sensitivity is not within limits, or an unserviceable

hardware fault has been detected, the smoke detector LED

extinguishes until the detector is serviced.

REMOVING THE DETECTOR

To remove the detector from the mounting base, hold the

detector and turn it counter-clockwise approximately 15 degrees.

The smoke detector will snap out of the mounting base.

To remove the detector from the mounting base when the

detector/base lock is used, insert a small screwdriver into the

locking tab slot on the side of the base and press in while

simultaneously turning the detector counter-clockwise 15

degrees. (See Figure

)

UNDERSTANDING THE LED

The LED on the detector indicates the status of the detector as

follows:

FLASHING: Flashes every 9 seconds to indicate normal

operation.

ON: Detects smoke.

OFF: Trouble or maintenance is required.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

The batteries should be replaced annually prior to annual smoke

test of the detectors OR if the Low Battery warning is sounded.

Always replace both batteries.

1. Remove the detector from the base as described in

Removing the Detector.

2. Open the battery compartment as described in Installing the

Detector.

3. Remove the batteries by pulling the red cloth tab.

4. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V lithium batteries

into the detector battery compartment and replace the

battery compartment cover.

5. Attach the detector to its mounting base as described in

Installing the Detector.

6. Smoke test the detector as described above.

CLEANING THE DETECTOR

Clean the detector cover with a dry or damp (water) cloth as

needed to keep it free from dust and dirt. When necessary, clean

the detector interior and replace the smoke chamber as follows:

1. Remove the detector from its mounting base. (See Removing

the Detector)

2. Remove the batteries. (See Replacing the Batteries)

3. Slide a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot on the detector cap

and gently push the handle down to pry the cap up and off.

(See Figure

.)

4. Press in on the sides of the smoke chamber and pull it up

and away from the detector and discard. See Figure

:

Q Optical base

R Smoke chamber

S Indentation

T Optical chamber

U Sensor cap

5. Blow out or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt

from the smoke chamber base.

6. Align the new smoke chamber up with the smoke chamber

base and snap down into place.

7. To replace the detector cap, replace the batteries, and re-

attach the sensor to the base, see Installing the Detector.

8. Test the sensitivity as described in Testing the Detector

Sensitivity.

MAINTAINING THE DETECTOR

The smoke detector should be tested weekly. (See Testing the

Detector Sensitivity and Smoke Testing the Detector.)

When a 560/570 Series detector fitted with a transmitter requires

maintenance, it extinguishes its LED and initiates the internal

signals described in the following table.

Signal Maintenance required

Clean Me Smoke detector sensitivity is out of

range and needs cleaning. See

Cleaning the Detector.

Maintenance alert Detector failed power self-test. Perform

a sensitivity test. See Testing the

Detector Sensitivity. If the problem

persists, replace the unit.

Low battery Batteries in the detector are low.

Replace them.
