Functions and technical features

• The smoke alarm does not recognise gases, vapours, heat and fire/flames!
• It is possible that people with limited hearing may not hear the alarm! For such cases there is an alarm with additional visual signals!
• Especially high electromagnetic radiation may affect unit operation. Therefore, do not install the alarm near devices which emit electromagnetic radiation or close to magnets.
• This smoke alarm works according to the principles of optics (photoelectric reflection) and contains a measuring chamber in which penetrating smoke particles are measured.
• If the alarm threshold is exceeded, a loud, audible alarm will sound.
• The alarm will switch itself off as soon as the measuring chamber becomes smoke-free again.

Functions and technical features | Emergency procedure when alarm sounds | Location selection

Emergency procedure when alarm sounds

Select the highest point in the room for mounting with a minimum distance of 50 cm from any wall, furniture or lamps. You can achieve optimal performance by also installing smoke alarms in all other rooms and on all landings

- A smoke alarm is not normally required in washrooms (bathroom, WC etc.) owing to the low fire risk in these rooms.

Please observe the illustrations in this manual!

The smoke alarm should not be installed in the following areas

outside (use only in enclosed spaces);

in areas in which the alarm can be triggered by disturbances (steam, condensation, 'normal' smoke, fumes, dust, dirt or grease);

• next to ventilation or similar air inlets (draughts);
• in areas where temperatures may fall below 0 °C or exceed 45 °C

Installation and operation

In order to mount the alarm on the ceiling follow the steps in the order listed below:

1. Remove smoke alarm by turning anti-clockwise from the alarm base.
2. Mark the holes through the alarm base.
3. Fit the required rawlplug into the drill hole and tightly screw in the alarm base.

holes of ceiling plastic plugs bracket two screws

marking out your drill holes, ensure that no electrical wires/cables, pipes or other installation components are located behind the installation point!

1. Then enter the current date (installation date) on the label on the reverse side of the alarm with a water and abrasion resistant pen (see illustration opposite).
2. Attach smoke alarm by turning clockwise at the unit base.
3. Remove the locking pin located in the mounting socket and insert it into the designated side opening to prevent the alarm from turning (see illustration below).

Display and functions Commissioning

Press test/reset button and hold it for above 3 seconds until LED lights

red, and release it within 2 seconds, the unit will generate a "beep" indicates that it is activated and goes into work status.

Normal operating mode

The red LED light under the cover will flash every 40 seconds in normal operating mode signalling that the alarm is ready for use.

Electronic test

Perform regular functional tests on your smoke alarm, press the test/reset button. The warning tone will sound and the red 'ALARM' LED light will flash.

This does not signal that there is smoke present in the room but it is confirmation that the smoke alarm is functioning correctly.

Always test the functioning of the smoke alarm after installation. Additionally, a regular inspection is recommended.

Ensure your hearing is protected by maintaining an arm's length distance between yourself and the device!

Low battery

Whenever the battery falls below a certain voltage level, the alarm will bleep and the LED light will flash every 40 seconds. By pressing the test button you can switch off the signal for 10 seconds, then it will restart automatically.

Whenever the warning signal sounds the alarm must be immediately replaced with a new one! The alarm has a built-in battery that cannot be replaced!

the moment of the first battery warning, the alarm will still operate at full capability for at least another 30 days!

Self-test with automatic error message

The smoke alarm will perform a periodic self-test and it is able to recalibrate the sensitivity of the smoke measure chamber automatically through contamination.

If the alarm's sensitivity trigger fails under the minimum required threshold level (e.g. due to excessive contamination of the smoke measure chamber), the unit will bleep once every 40 seconds.

error message does not clear upon cleaning of the alarm then the alarm should be immediately replaced (see chapter entitled 'Care and maintenance')!

Alarm mode

Upon detection of smoke, a loud, pulsating alarm tone will sound and the red LED light will flash simultaneously at short intervals. In this case, proceed as described under the chapter entitled ‘Emergency procedure when alarm sounds’.

Alarm silent mode

Once the device is in alarm mode, the alarm sound can be deactivated for approx. 10 minutes by pressing the test/reset button.

When the device is in silent mode, the red LED light will continue to flash every 8 seconds to show that the alarm is still in active mode.

If smoke is still detected in the smoke measure chamber once the approx. 10 minute silent period has ended, the audible alarm will sound again.

Care and maintenance

What to do in case of false alarm?

GB

Possible causes of false alarm include: Welding and cutting, soldering and other hot work, sawing and grinding, dust created from building work, e.g. cleaning, extreme electromagnetic effects, changes in temperature which lead to condensation in the alarm as well as household dust and small insects.

If a false alarm is being caused by work close to the device, it should

be temporarily covered up or removed. Upon completion of the work, it is imperative, however, that the device be returned to its original operating state and be checked!

Cleaning

The operation of every installed smoke alarm must be regularly checked and kept safe through maintenance measures in accordance with German DIN 14676 application standards.

This includes an inspection at least once every 12 months ± 3 months, including maintenance and checking the performance of the warning signals.

The results and measures taken should be documented accordingly.

Dust covered alarms must be cleaned. Dust deposits in the alarm's air vents can be sucked up or blown out.

Dust can be removed with a brush if required.

• The surface area can be cleaned with a slightly damp and soapy cloth.
  • Take care that no liquids get into the apparatus! Do not clean device in a dishwasher!
• Do not use any sharp, pointed, abrasive or caustic cleaning products, chemicals or hard brushes!

Maintenance

electronic components of each smoke alarm are subject to ageing. In addition, smoke measure chambers will inevitably become contaminated over time.

• To guarantee full functionality for your smoke alarm, it should be replaced no more than 10 years from the date that it is first used!
