4. මෙහෙයුම් උපදෙස්
Understanding the operational indicators and testing procedures is essential for ensuring your detector is functioning correctly.
4.1 සාමාන්ය මෙහෙයුම
Once installed with a fresh battery, the detector will enter normal operating mode. A small LED indicator on the front of the unit will flash approximately once every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the detector is powered and functioning correctly.
4.2 අනාවරකය පරීක්ෂා කිරීම
Test the smoke detector weekly to ensure it is working properly. To test:
- Press and hold the test button located on the front of the detector.
- The alarm will sound a loud, pulsating horn.
- බොත්තම මුදා හරින්න. අනතුරු ඇඟවීම නතර විය යුතුයි.
- අනතුරු ඇඟවීම නාද නොවන්නේ නම්, දෝශ නිරාකරණ අංශය වෙත යොමු වන්න.
සටහන: The test button simulates the presence of smoke. It is important to test the detector regularly.
4.3 අනතුරු ඇඟවීමේ කොන්දේසි
When smoke is detected, the detector will emit a loud, continuous audible alarm. The LED indicator will also flash rapidly. If an alarm sounds:
- Evacuate all occupants immediately.
- Do not re-enter the premises until emergency services have declared it safe.
