Smoke Detection and Access Control

Intercom

Each unit has been fitted with a audio intercom, these allow communication and give access control to the ground level lobby.

Below is a summary of how the intercom and access system operates.

Intercom & Access Procedure;

On a Guest Arrival Entry

1. They will call the appropriate Apartment number from the intercom call station, at either the front lobby or rare lobby located beside the visitor carparks.
2. The owner will answer the intercom at their handset, and if so wishes allow entry by pushing the release button.
3. This will allow access through the entry door into the building for their guest and allow a set period of time to be able to use the elevator to get to their required floor level.

Owner/Tenant

Entry

1. At the entry to the main lobby or rare lobby, they will be able to swipe their key fob across the card reader keypad which will allow access into the building.
2. Once inside the lift they will then swipe their key fob across the card reader keypad in the elevator car to allow them to use the elevator to reach their floor.

To Exit

1. Guests or residents alike will be able to use the lift to Exit the building without the use of the key fob swipe in the lift car, it will travel to ground level without the need to swipe.
2. Once at their Exit door on ground level, they will be able to push the Release to Exit button and the door will release to allow it to open.

In The Event of an Emergency Evacuation

• The stairways should be used to Exit the building. (Not the Elevator)
• Doorways in the basement car-park and on ground level have manual release handles to Exit.

Smoke Detection

Each individual unit has its own independent 240v/mains inter-linkable (with battery back-up) smoke detectors.

Depending on the size of the unit some have two smoke detectors and some have heat detectors depending on unit layout which are in turn interlinked to each other, generally located on the ceiling outside the bedroom(s). An alarm is sounded from a detector when smoke is present, to alert occupants.

Please refer to the Operating Instructions and Warranty for information on how your alarm operates, what the green, red and yellow LED indicators mean and instructions on operating the false alarm hush control, required monthly maintenance and battery replacement.

Note: You must remove the blue protective cover when you move into the apartment.

Community Areas Smoke and Heat Alarms

Community areas are protected via 240v mains interlink with battery back-up smoke and heat alarms these interlink and cover all community areas. Electrical supply for these, originate from the community switchboard.

Locations of detectors are as per mark up on the as built drawings. Batteries to these units should be again changed on an annual basis as a minimum. These will be carried out by the property managers or body corp.

What lights and buttons mean

• The green indicator will illuminate to show mains power is present
• The red indicator will flash once every 40 seconds to indicate a self test and rapidly (every second) to show an alarm condition for the smoke alarm.
• The red indicator will flash rapidly to show an alarm condition for the smoke detector
• The "Test/Hush" button will either silence false alarms or perform a unit self test
• In "Test" mode the alarm will perform a self test and sound the horn
