Fire: When the unit is in a re state, FIrE will be
displayed on the screen and the pillow alarm unit
will ash. The pillow pad will also vibrate with a
continuous pattern.
Alarm: When the timed alarm comes round, the
screen backlight will ash and the time will be
displayed on the screen. The pillow pad will also
vibrate with an interrupted pulse pattern.
Status LED: If the status LED is lit, the unit is
listening to a loud noise. If it is ashing on every
13 seconds, the acoustic circuit is disabled (see,
disabling the unit).
Low battery LED: If the low battery LED is lit,
the batteries are low and should be replaced
immediately.
Bell symbol: If the bell symbol is shown in the top
left hand corner of the screen, the alarm is enabled.
Er followed by 4: The sound level
detected in the learn process is below
65dB and the default parameters of
75dB have been used.
Er followed by 5: The sound level
detected in the learn process was
found to be intermittent, but its timing
could not be identied. The sound levels detected
are set, but the pillow alarm may be slow in waking
up. It is recommended a dierent alarm pattern is
used on the sounder.
Er followed by 6: The intermittent
sound level detected during the
learn process is below 65dB and the
default parameters of 75dB have been used.
Er followed by 7: The unit has not been
put through the learn cycle or has been
set back to default settings. Perform a
learn process before choosing option 9 (see learning
the alarm).
Er followed by 8: The bell tone
recorded is intermittent, but its timing
could not be identied. Perform the
learn process again.
Error codes
If the unit enters re alarm state when there
is no re alarm sounding, pressing the ‘Alarm
on-o’ button will clear the re state. If the unit
subsequently detects a sounds it will trigger back
into re state.
If displayed on the screen, exit this mode
by choosing option 0 (EΞ0). Use ‘+’ or ‘-’
to get to 0 and press ‘Set Time’ to select.
The time will be displayed and the unit will operate
normally.
This mode should only be used when in
consultation with Geore.

Why perform a learn?
Learning the alarm
4
1. Press ‘+’ and ‘-’ together. When released PΞ0 will
be shown on the display.
2. Press ‘+’ until option 7 is shown (PΞ7).
3. Start the re alarm sounding in the appropriate
location.
4. Press ‘Set Time’ to start the learn process. There
must be no background noise while the alarm is
recording.
During the alarm process the display changes.
When the unit is initialising the learn,
two vertical bars will ash from side to
side.
When the unit is recording the sound,
three horizontal bars will ash up in
sequence.
When the unit is processing the
sound, one digit will chase round in
sequence. At this point the alarm may
be silenced.
Once the learn process is complete, the time will
again be displayed on the screen.
If an error code appears (Er), look at the ‘Error codes’
section on page 3 for further details.
In a hotel or commercial property, the sound level
at the bed head is required to be 75dB or greater. In
a domestic property where the sound level may be
lower, performing the learn cycle will improve the
unit’s response to the re alarm.
If the unit is moved e.g. to another room, it will be
necessary to repeat the learn cycle.
Make sure any doors between the sounder and
pillow alarm are shut during the learn cycle.
If the alarm sound is generated by a bell, you
may nd that the Agrippa is sensitive to general
background noise after the learning process. This
can be improved by selecting command option 8
(see page 2).
This can be done any time after completing the
learning process as long as the Agrippa has not
been returned to default settings. Once selected,
the display will show a rotating pattern for around
10 seconds.
If the unit has already been returned to default
settings, you will have to repeat the learning
process before selecting option 8.
Bells as alarms
Patent serial number: GB2507582
It may be desirable to disable the acoustic circuitry
on the unit; e.g. to stop false triggering during
scheduled maintenance or cleaning or during a re
test. This may be done by setting an alarm disable
time:
1. Set an alarm time corresponding to the start of
the disablement.
2. Choose command option 4 (see page 2).
3. Set an alarm time corresponding to the end of
the disablement.
4. Choose command option 5 (see page 2).
Command option 6 allows the checking of the
times.
5. To stop the disablement period in future, set
either the start or end time to 0:00 as per steps 1
and 2 or 3 and 4 above.
