EDA-R6000 Installation Manual Page 4of 5 Ref: EDA_R6000_install_V109.doc
Fitting the unit to the ceiling.
In normal operation the power link should be fitted on the ON position. When the power link is placed to the ON
position the device will beep and the LED will briefly flash green. It will then flash red once a second if the device is off
its base. When fitting the device to its base the LED on the front of the device should be aligned with the red dot on the
base, then rotated clockwise. Once mounted correctly, press the reset button for about a second until the device beeps.
The LED will stop flashing if the unit is mounted correctly.
When enough smoke enters the optical chamber, the device will indicate the alarm with a solid red LED and will beep
once a second. The alarm will be indicated on the panel and if programmed accordingly, the sounder will sound a few
seconds later.
To change the batteries in the R6000: replacement part: 2 x EDA-Q690
The batteries should last approximately four years in the R6000. Always use batteries supplied by Electro Detectors
otherwise this will invalidate the certification. The battery pack is fitted with 2xAA Lithium Thynol Chloride cells. Min
voltage 3.0V, Max 3.7V. When the battery is approaching its end of life the unit will transmit a low battery condition,
which will be indicated on the control panel. The system will still function for at least a further 60 days in this
condition before the unit fails to operate. Once the batteries are too flat to operate, the unit will either indicate a “verify
fail” fault, because the panel has lost communication with the device, or a battery fault will be displayed. Should either
of these be witnessed, the batteries should be changed immediately. If the unit detects a fault with the battery a ‘battery
fault’ will be indicated on the panel. Therefore:-
1. Remove the power link.
2. Remove the back plate by removing the two screws
3. Remove the old battery packs.
4. Fit the new battery packs making sure the battery pins are lined up and pressed down.
5. Re-fit the back plate.
6. Press and hold the unit removal and reset button simultaneously.
7. With these buttons pressed down, fit the power link.
8. After 5 seconds the 3 rapid (log-on) beeps will be heard. Keep the buttons pressed down.
9. After a further 5 seconds another set of beeps will sound, at this point release the buttons. This will re-set the
battery counter after a further 15 minutes. Refit the device onto its base.
