Smoke alarm devices must be installed in accordance with local regulations and user standard DIN 14676. Your fully trained smoke alarm device specialist can provide advice for planning the installation of these devices. We are happy to provide our system manual for information here.
Smoke alarm devices or fire alarm devices are devices that trigger a timely alarm in the event of a fire in private houses and public buildings based on the level of smoke and/or heat development, thus saving lives. The use of these devices is already mandatory for new builds and building conversions in all federal states. In some cases, there are transitional regulations that apply to existing residences, meaning that these must also be equipped accordingly.
No, the light ring only flashes if there is an alarm or a fault.
The assignments for smoke alarm devices with wireless module remain the same after changing the battery.
In most cases, the unit is past its replacement date; if it is more than 10 years old, it needs to be replaced. The first step is to check the replacement date on the back of the smoke alarm.
However, there are several other factors that can reduce the battery life. A full summary can be found in the operating instructions. Other factors for a weak battery are:
The frequency with which the smoke alarm is triggered: frequent false alarms or test alarms lead to an earlier discharge.
The location of the installation, in particular compliance with the installation instructions according to the operating manual: Excessive temperature fluctuations, e.g. due to environmental influences, lead to reduced battery life.
Networking of smoke alarms via the networking terminal: if several smoke alarms are connected to each other, the battery life can be reduced.
The additional use of modules: The use of additional functions (e.g. KNX signal transmitter) can also lead to a reduction in battery life.

If none of these factors apply to you, contact your local electrician to have the device checked.
