Frequently Asked Questions - TG500AL HAGER

Where to install the TG500AL smoke detector?

Place it on the ceiling, preferably in the center of the room, at least 50 cm from any obstacle (wall, beam) and more than 1 m from ventilation openings. Avoid kitchens, bathrooms and very dusty rooms. Do not fix it directly onto a metal surface without an insulating pad.

How to replace the battery of the TG500AL?

Turn the detector counterclockwise to unlock it. Replace the used battery with a 9 V alkaline battery (type 6LR61) or a 9 V Lithium battery (type U9VL-J-P). Reassemble the detector and perform a manual test.

How to test the TG500AL detector?

Press the test button for about 5 seconds. The detector should emit a beep (73 dB) and the red LED flash rapidly. Release the button. Perform this test at least once a month.

What to do in case of false alarm (cooking smoke)?

Press the test button until the first beep to inhibit the detector for 15 minutes. The LED flashes every 2 seconds. After this time, the detector automatically returns to normal operation.

How to interconnect several TG500AL detectors in a network?

Fix the bases and unclip the terminal blocks. Wire with a cable of max section 1.5 mm² (max distance 400 m). Reclip the terminal block and lock the detector. Only connect detectors of the same model. Up to 40 detectors can be interconnected.

What does a red flash every 5 seconds mean?

It is a power supply fault signal (low battery). The detector still works for 30 days, but it is advisable to replace the battery quickly. You can postpone the audible alarm by 8 hours (max 7 days) by pressing the test button.

What does 8 rapid flashes every 8 seconds mean?

It is a signal of a dirty detection head. Clean the slots with a vacuum cleaner. If the signal persists after cleaning, replace the detector.

How to clean the TG500AL detector?

Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to dust the slots of the detection head. Perform this operation at least once a year or when the red LED flashes 8 times every 8 seconds.

What is the lifespan of the TG500AL detector?

The detector must be replaced after a maximum of 10 years. The Lithium battery can last 10 years, the alkaline battery about 4 years. Respect the indicated expiry date.

Can you paint the smoke detector?

No, it is forbidden to paint the detector. Paint would obstruct the detection slots and compromise its operation. If work is necessary, cover it with the supplied plastic protection and remove it after work.

Installation of the detector

Selection of the installation location

The detector shall be installed:

• In rooms subject to a risk of fire (living rooms with a fireplace, childrens rooms, occupied attics or basements...),
• Preferably at the center of the ceiling,
• Away from air outlets likely to disperse smoke,
• At a distance greater than 50 cm from any obstacle (wall, partition, beam...),
• At each end of a corridor of a length greater than 10 m.
  If the installation at a horizontal ceiling is not feasible, install it:
• At a distance greater than 50 cm from the ceiling and from any room angle
• Away from any electric disturbances (electric meter, metal box, electronic ballast...),
• In the event of fixing to a metal wall: insert a nonmagnetic material support wedge (wood or plastic) between the base and the wall.

The detector shall not be fixed:

• Directly on a metal surface,
• near (minimum distance 50 cm) an electronic ballast, low voltage transformer, energy saving bulbs, etc.,
  • In very dusty rooms,
• In a room where the inside temperature can fall below -10^ or above +50^ , resulting in a failure of the detector,
• At a distance less than 1m from any heating, cooling or ventilation outlet, by which smoke could be dispersed,
• At a distance less than 6 m from any fireplace or wood stove where flue gas is likely to release unwanted alarm,
• In a room where cooking and steam fumes are likely to cause an unwanted false alarm,
• In a room where there is a risk of condensation or moisture (such as bathrooms, wash-houses...),
• At the top of an ogival ceiling (with an A shape), where an air pocket can be formed and prevent smoke from reaching the detector.

Fixing

Fixing with flush-mounting box

For boxes of 60 mm diameter: use holes marked 60

For boxes of 85 mm diameter: use holes marked 85.

Fix the base using suitable screws.

Projecting mounting (Fig A)

• Place the base in the desired location, then mark the position of the 2 fixing holes using a pencil (ref. mark 60 or 85).
• Drill holes using a 5 mm ∅ drill bit.
• Fix the base using suitable fixings.

For interconnecting cabling, remove the 2 fixing spacers and insert them between the ceiling and the mounting base by capping the 2 selected fixing holes.

Optional locking of the detector on the mounting base (Fig B).

Optional locking is designed to prevent unauthorized removal of the detector.

Using cutting pliers, cut the locking nipple.

Opening will now be possible only by means of a flat blade screwdriver.

Align the 2 locating arrows marked on the mounting base and the detectors, then lock the unit by turning clockwise.

The detector cannot be locked on its base if the battery is not inserted in its housing.

Do not use force to lock the unit.

Installing several detectors in a network

It is possible to inter-connect up to 40 detectors to make alarm activation possible over the whole range of smoke detectors of the home.

1. After the detector's mounting base has been installed, unfasten the connector block.
2. Then do the wiring as follows:

TG 500A / TG 500B

Signal N N N

TG 501A

L N Signal L N L N L N

For a cable of 1.5 mm csa, the distance shall not exceed 400 m.

1. Fasten the connector block back onto the supporting base.
2. Lock the detector on its base.

Connect only detectors of the same model within the network.

To install TG501 detectors in a network, an asymmetric power supply can be used. A separate cutout should be used for protection in this case.

For energy supply and signal forwarding of the smoke detectors a cable (NYM-0/3 x 1.5 mm ^2 or NYM-4 x 1.5 mm ^2 with earth wire) has to be laid separately.

Testing the detector

Although the alarm level is reduced during a manual test of a smoke detector, it is advisable to inform neighbours prior to running the test and to use all suitable hearing protective devices.

Never use a naked flame for testing the smoke detector.

Manual test

Press (for approximately 5 sec) the test key until the built-in alarm is released.

The alarm sounds until the test button is released:

Detector at the source of the smoke detection signal	Other wired inter-connected detectors

Detection test:

Using the smoke generator, spray smoke through the slots about 10 cm away from the detection head for 1 to 2 seconds.

When a manual test has been performed less than 5 minutes before using the smoke generator, the detector issues a series of audible signals within the next 10 seconds. These are closer and closer together until the detector is triggered (12 to 22 seconds after spraying). If the detector does not beep, there is not enough smoke around the detection head. Spray some more smoke through the slots.

The manuel test is to be carried out at least once a month, in particular after a long absence.

Manual disabling of the detector

It is possible to disable the detector for a 15 min. period:

• Prior to activities likely to produce dust (sweeping of a dusty room, of a chimney...) and cause unwanted alarm activation,
• To stop alarm in the event of detection of non-dangerous smoke.

In order to disable the detector, press the test key until the 1st beep sounds or until the detector stops its built-in audible alarm. The indicator signalling the state of the detector flickers every 2 sec.

After the 15 min. disable period has passed or after a manual test, the detector is set back automatically into normal operation with the detector state indicator flickering every 10 s.

For the 15 min. disable period, the detector will not detect any smoke, nor emit any audible alarm.

In the case of an installation in network and of a non-dangerous smoke detection, it is obligatory to inhibit the detector at the origin of detection (led red twinkling) to stop the ringing.

Indication of faults

Power supply fault:

Detector at the source of the fault indication

	TG 500A/TG 500Bthe unit flickers once every 5 sec.	TG 501A-
	the unit emits 2 fast beeps every 60 sec

After the power supply fault has occurred, the detector will operate normally for a 30-day period. However is advisable to replace the battery as soon as possible.

If the sound indication of the power supply failure occurs at an inappropriate time, it is possible to postpone its occurrence for an 8-hour delay over a maximum 7-day period by pressing the test key until the 1st beep is emitted.

This is the time period available for replacing the battery.

Indication of detection head clogging:

If the sound indication of the clogged detection head state is activated at an inappropriate time, it is

possible to postpone its occurrence for an 8-hour delay over a maximum 7-day period by pressing the test key until the 1st beep is emitted.

This is the time period available for cleaning the detector.

Maintenance

Detection head maintenance

The regular maintenance of the detector is of upmost importance. The detection head slots shall be vacuum-cleaned at least once a year or upon each indication of detection head clogging (See section on Fault indication).

If the detection head clogged indication remains after de-dusting, replace the detector.

Smoke detectors shall in any case be replaced after 10-year operation.

The smoke detector contains no radioactive material.

Please comply with local regulations for the disposal of unusabledetectors.
