Frequently Asked Questions - TG500C HAGER

How to install the Hager TG500C smoke detector?

Fix the base to the ceiling choosing a location at least 50 cm from walls and obstacles, away from ventilation openings. Use the fixing holes according to the box diameter (60 or 85 mm). For surface mounting, drill with a 5 mm bit and use the supplied plugs. After connecting the battery (and mains for TG501A), engage the detector by turning clockwise.

How to test the detector?

Press the test button for about 5 seconds until the alarm sounds. You will hear a sequence of 1 second of alarm followed by 1 second of pause (or 2 seconds for other detectors in the network). Never use a naked flame. Perform this test at least once a month.

What to do in case of false alarm?

Press the test button until the first beep to inhibit the detector for 15 minutes. This stops the alarm during activities like sweeping or cooking. The detector resumes normal operation after 15 minutes or after a manual test.

Which battery to use and how to change it?

Use a 9V alkaline battery type 6LR61 (e.g. DURACELL PLUS) or a 9V lithium battery (e.g. ULTRALIFE U9VL-J). To change the battery, unlock the detector by turning counterclockwise, replace the battery, then lock again. If optional locking is enabled, use a flat screwdriver in the notch.

How to clean the detector?

Vacuum clean the slots of the detection head at least once a year, or as soon as the dirty head fault triggers (8 flashes every 8 seconds or 8 beeps every 58 seconds). If the problem persists after cleaning, replace the detector.

Can multiple Hager TG500C detectors be interconnected?

Yes, you can interconnect up to 40 detectors of the same models in a wired network. Use a cable of maximum 1.5 mm² section and do not exceed 400 m total length. In case of detection, all interconnected detectors trigger their alarm (modulated sound for others).

What are the indicator lights and what do they mean?

The red light flashes every 10 seconds in normal operation; it flashes quickly in alarm. The white light illuminates an emergency halo in case of smoke detection. On TG501A, a green light indicates mains presence. In case of power fault, the red flashes every 5 seconds; for dirty head, 8 flashes every 8 seconds.

Where not to install the detector?

Avoid very dusty, humid or condensation-prone rooms (bathroom, laundry). Do not place within 1 m of heating, cooling or ventilation openings, nor within 6 m of a fireplace or wood stove. Avoid direct metal surfaces and locations where temperature exceeds +55°C or drops below -10°C.

What is the lifespan of the detector?

The smoke detector has a maximum lifespan of 10 years. It must be replaced after this period. Additionally, the alkaline battery lasts about 4 years (TG500A/B) or 10 years (TG501A), while a lithium battery can last up to 10 years.

What to do if the detector emits abnormal beeps or flashes?

Refer to the fault indication table: 1 flash every 5 seconds (or 2 beeps every 60 s for TG501A) = power fault, replace battery within 30 days. 8 flashes every 8 seconds (or 8 beeps every 58 s) = dirty head, clean with a vacuum. You can postpone the sounder for 8 hours (up to 7 days) by pressing the test button.

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.

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.

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

	The alarms sounds for 1 sec (73 dB (A) from a 3 m distance), then stops for 1 sec.	The alarms sounds for 1 sec (73 dB (A) from a 3 m distance), then stops for 2 sec.

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:

Detector at the source of the fault indication

	TG 500A/TG 500Bthe unit flickers 8 times over an 8-sec period	TG 501A-
	the unit beeps fast 8 times over a 58-sec period

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.

Battery replacement

A. If the optional opening of the detector is not locked (See section on Fixing):

• Take the detector off its mounting base by turning it counter clockwise until the unlock click is heard.
• Replace the worn battery.
• Lock the detector back onto its base.
• Carry out a test (See section on Test of detector).

B. If the optional opening of the detector is locked (see Fixing):
