Product Information

If you are using an Alarm Controller Ei450 this will continue for as long as you hold down the ‘Test’ button. Most of our alarms have a 10-year life, after which they should be replaced to ensure you carry on getting the best protection.

Turn the mains power to the alarms off in the property and ensure the green indicator light on the alarm is off.Above this is the ‘Replace By’ date, but note that the date on the label shows the maximum life of the alarm and alarms should always be replaced before their life is up. Find the alarm with the red light rapidly flashing. Press its ‘Hush’ button to silence. If that does not silence it, clean the alarm using a vacuum. Wait for 10 minutes and the issue should be resolved. Insert a small flat headed screwdriver into the slot, and at the same time, slide the head of the alarm away from the screwdriver. The model number of each alarm and accessory is noted on the side of the product, along with the age and replace by date. You can type this number into the search bar above to find out all the details of your alarm. Performing a regular test is a vital part of ensuring continued Fire and Carbon Monoxide detection. Alarms should be tested monthly to ensure everything is working correctly.

If the alarms are sounding, there may be a fire present. You should evacuate the property and be absolutely sure there is no fire before returning. If in doubt, always assume there is a real fire present and take the necessary action. All Aico alarms have a date-code label on the side of them which tells you exactly when the alarm was made and also the recommended replacement date. If you have more than one alarm in the property and they are interconnected, this will also trigger all the other alarms in the property.
