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.
No, the light ring only flashes if there is an alarm or a problem.
At temperatures below -20°C, the rain monitor output is activated; above this temperature, snow and rain detection takes place as usual.
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.
