No, the light ring only flashes if there is an alarm or a problem.
Smoke alarm devices used individually:
Identify the smoke alarm device that triggered the alarm. The smoke alarm device that detected the fire will have a red flashing LED as well as emitting an audible signal. Remove the battery from the smoke alarm device. This mutes the smoke alarm device.
Networked smoke alarm devices (wired or via wireless module):
Identify the smoke alarm device that triggered the alarm. The smoke alarm device that detected the fire will have a red flashing LED as well as emitting an audible signal. Remove the battery from this smoke alarm device. This mutes both this device and all the smoke alarm devices networked with it.
If the smoke alarm device has triggered an alarm, this can be acknowledged by briefly pressing the function button. The alarm trigger must then immediately be found and rectified, otherwise another alarm will be triggered after 15 min.
A local smoke alarm is indicated by a loud intermittent tone and the flashing red light ring. The alarm device that triggers the alarm must always be found and acknowledged.
The smoke alarms can emit different operating or alarm signals. Please refer to the operating instructions to find out what the signal indicates. Examples of operating signals:
a general fault (8 short signal tones in 60s cycle),
a weak battery (2 short signal tones in 60s cycle) or
an EMC fault (short signal tone in 1s cycle).
The operating instructions can be found in the online catalogue or at the following URL:
The smoke alarm device triggers in line with the VdS once the smoke chamber contains between 1.03% and 1.59% smoke.
