Appendix - Further information
Connection
The Visit Smoke Alarm does not require any connections.
Settings
No adjustments are required for normal use. The relevant descriptions are
provided below, if you wish to change a setting for some reason.
Radio key
In order to use several Visit Systems close to one another without interference,
different Radio Keys can be set on the different systems. All Visit System units are
supplied from the factory tuned to the same Radio Key, channel 0. This means that all
Radio Key Switches on the transmitters are set to the OFF position.
To alter the Radio Key, move the Radio Key Switches (6) to the desired positions.
Note that switches (7) and (8) are not Radio Key Switches.
The broadcast switch (7) has the function of switching on and off an additional
safety function which makes the smoke alarm transmit to all receivers within its
range regardless of the Radio Key that is set.
Please note: all Visit products within a system must be tuned to the same Radio Key in
order to operate as a group. If the broadcast switch (7) is in the ON position, however,
all Visit receivers are activated when a fire alarm signal is detected regardless of the
Radio Key. If an incorrect Radio Key is set on the Smoke Alarm, neither the battery
warning nor the Test Button will work with the Visit System's receivers. This function
ensures that, when in Broadcast mode, you will not interfere with other Visit Systems
when you test the smoke alarm or have a low battery.
Signal pattern
A Signal Pattern is the name for the way in which a receiver in the Visit System
indicates activation. Changing the transmitters' Signal Switch changes the Signal
Pattern which the receivers display when the transmitter is activated.
