FAQs

How often should I test the alarms?

Test the alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button.

What type of batteries should I use?

Use 2 x AA alkaline batteries for each alarm. Batteries are included in the kit.

How do I know if the alarm is working?

Press the test button. If the alarm sounds, it is working correctly.

How do I silence a false alarm?

Press the hush button. This will temporarily silence the alarm.

How many alarms can I interlink?

You can interlink up to 50 UltraFire UB1RF series alarms.

What is the lifespan of the alarms?

The alarms have a five-year warranty. It's recommended to replace the alarms after 10 years, as per industry standards.

Can I install these alarms myself?

Yes, installation is designed to be straightforward. Follow the instructions provided with the kit.

What if my alarm goes off and I can't find a fire?

Evacuate the property immediately and call the fire department. Once they've confirmed it's safe, investigate the cause, and reset the alarm.

Troubleshooting

Alarm is beeping or chirping

Replace the batteries immediately. The alarm emits a chirp to indicate low battery.

Alarms are not interlinking

Check the interlinking procedure outlined in the manual. Ensure the alarms are within the RF range (35m indoors, 100m outdoors) and not obstructed.

False alarms

Ensure the smoke alarm is not placed too close to cooking areas. If false alarms persist, try repositioning the alarm or consider cleaning the alarm (see care instructions).

One alarm is not sounding when others activate

Check the batteries in the non-responsive alarm and ensure it is correctly interlinked with the other units.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Wireless interlinking simplifies installation and reduces clutter.
The combination of smoke and heat alarms offers versatile protection for different areas of the home.
Easy to expand the system to cover larger properties.
Battery-powered for continuous protection even during power outages.
Five-year warranty provides assurance of product quality.

Cons

Requires regular battery replacement to maintain functionality.
The range of the radio frequency may be limited by building materials.
False alarms from cooking fumes near smoke alarms are still possible, though the heat alarm mitigates this.
Additional alarms need to be purchased separately to extend beyond the initial kit.
The initial cost might be higher compared to single, non-interlinked alarms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Each alarm requires two AA alkaline batteries (included). Use the provided screws and rawl plugs to mount the alarms on ceilings or walls, following the instructions. Smoke alarms should be placed in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. The heat alarm should be installed in the kitchen.
Interlinking: Follow the simple procedure outlined in the user manual to interconnect the alarms. This process ensures that when one alarm detects smoke or heat, all alarms sound.
Compatibility: This kit is only compatible with other UltraFire UB1RF series alarms.
Care: Regularly test the alarms using the test button to ensure they are functioning correctly. Replace batteries annually or when the low battery warning sounds. Keep the alarms clean by gently wiping them with a damp cloth; do not use detergents or solvents.
