Frequently Asked Questions - AX-AB-FD1 Axxess

How do I install the AX-AB-FD1 smoke detector?

Select a ceiling location at least 30 cm from walls and lights. Drill holes using the mounting bracket as a template, insert wall plugs, and screw the bracket tight. Twist the detector onto the bracket until it clicks.

What type of battery does it use?

The AX-AB-FD1 requires a standard 9V alkaline battery. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

How do I test if the alarm is working?

Press and hold the test button for 5 seconds. The alarm should sound loudly. If it does not, replace the battery or contact support.

Why does my detector chirp every 30 seconds?

This indicates a low battery. Replace the 9V battery immediately. If chirping continues, clean the unit and ensure it's properly mounted.

How often should I clean the smoke detector?

Clean the detector at least once a month using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust from the vents.

Can I install the detector in the kitchen or bathroom?

Avoid installing near steam, smoke, or grease. Place it at least 3 meters away from cooking appliances and bathrooms to prevent false alarms.

What does the red LED flashing mean?

A red LED flash every 30 seconds indicates normal operation. A rapid flash during an alarm indicates smoke detection.

How do I silence a false alarm?

Press the test button to temporarily silence the alarm for 15 minutes. Identify and remove the source of smoke or steam.

What is the warranty period?

AXESS offers a 2-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I replace the battery myself?

Yes, open the battery compartment on the back of the detector, remove the old battery, and insert a new 9V battery, observing polarity.
