5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Til- og frakobling
The alarm system is armed and disarmed by unlocking and locking the deadbolt using the control key. Inserting the key and turning it to the 'LOCK' position arms the alarm. Turning the key to the 'UNLOCK' position disarms the alarm and allows the door to be opened without triggering the alarm.

5.2 Alarmfunktion
When the device is armed, opening the door will trigger a loud 100-decibel alarm. This alarm will continue to sound until it is reset using the control key. The alarm is powered by the included 9-volt battery.
5.3 Emergency Sign
The integrated photoluminescent emergency sign absorbs ambient light and glows in the dark when the lights are out or dimmed. This ensures that the emergency exit is clearly visible and identifiable under various lighting conditions, enhancing safety.

6. Vedligeholdelse
6.1 Udskiftning af batteri
The ECL-230D alarm is powered by a single 9-volt battery. It is recommended to replace the battery annually or immediately if the alarm sounds weak or fails to activate. To replace, disarm the unit, open the cover, remove the old battery, and insert a new 9-volt battery, ensuring correct polarity. Close the cover securely.
6.2 Rengøring
Clean the exterior of the alarm unit with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or internal components. The lock body is corrosion resistant, requiring minimal specialized cleaning.
7. Fejlfinding
- Alarmen lyder ikke: Check the 9-volt battery. Ensure it is properly installed and has sufficient charge. Verify the unit is armed (key in 'LOCK' position).
- Alarm Sounds Weak: Udskift 9-volts batteriet med et nyt.
- Key Not Operating Smoothly: Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the key and cylinder. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
- Døren lukker ikke ordentligt: Inspect the strike plate alignment and ensure the deadbolt extends fully into the strike. Adjust if necessary.
- Falske alarmer: Ensure the door is fully closed and latched before arming. Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing completely.
