Device description Safety information Warning

• The smoke detector does not detect gas, steam, heat or re/ames. Detectors with special sensors are required for this.

• People with hearing impairments may not be able to hear the alarm. Special alarms with visible signalisation are available for such cases.

• Smoke detectors help save lives. Therefore, for safety’s sake, you should regularly test the battery and the operation of the detector. For day-to day use, remember that the smoke detector cannot prevent res but simply provides signalization in the event of one. For your own safety, please replace smoke detectors every ten years at the latest.

• Very high electromagnetic radiation can cause malfunctions. Therefore, do not install the detector near strong magnets or devices which produce electromagnetic radiation. The smoke detector works optically by measuring smoke particles that penetrate into its measurement chamber. When the alarm threshold is exceeded, a loud alarm sounds. The alarm is switched o as soon as there is no more smoke in the measuring chamber.

• Battery operated (1 x 3 V battery)

• Automatic battery state monitoring

• Battery compartment check (the smoke detector can only be installed when the battery is tted)

• Optical LED indicator lamp and acoustic alarm

• The distance between smoke detectors should not be more than 8 metres.

• When tting on the ceiling, make sure that the smoke detectors are at least 15 cm from the side walls and 50 cm from the corners. Warning Avoid the following locations to prevent malfunctions of the smoke detector:

• Places where expected temperature variations are greater than the ambient operating temperature (+0°C to +45°C).

• laces where draughts can keep smoke away from the detector, such as near windows, doors or ventilation shas.

• Places where vapour, increased air humidity or exhaust fumes may trigger false alarms, e.g. in kitchens, bathrooms or garages.

• Places where dust or dirt could impair the function of the smoke detector.

• The highest point in rooms with gable ceilings. The distance to the highest point of the gable should be at least 30 cm. For installation and attachment, see the diagram Warning

• When marking out the drill holes, make sure there are no electrical wires or cables, pipes or other important components behind them.

• If in doubt, consult an expert before drilling.

• If you are tting the smoke detector in a vehicle (such as a camper or caravan), you must contact the manufacturer or your local dealer rst for information on the most suitable location. Putting into operationPutting into operation Before operation Warning

• Keep children away from the packaging – there is a risk of suocation.

• Remove all packaging material before using the device. What to do when you hear the alarm

• Leave the premises immediately. Every second counts – there is no time to get dressed or gather valuable belongings. Use the emergency escape routes.

• Warn your fellow residents and make sure they also leave – especially children and people with impaired hearing.

• Do not open doors without rst checking the surface. Do not open a door if it is hot or you see smoke under it. Use an alternative escape route. If the surface is cool, push against it with your shoulder, slightly open it and be prepared to close it again if there is heat, smoke or re behind it.

• If there is smoke in the air, keep close to the oor and breathe through a damp cloth if possible.

• Close the doors aer leaving the room.

• Once you have le the building, go to the agreed assembly point and do not go back inside.

• Call the re brigade from outside the burning building.

• Notify the re brigade of the situation inside the building. For recommended installation locations, see the diagram

• Position the smoke detector directly on the ceiling in the centre of the room.

• Priority rooms: living rooms, bedrooms and children’s playrooms.

• If you have more than one bedroom, each one should be tted with a smoke detector.

• To monitor corridors, you should also t smoke detectors there, because stairwells are particularly susceptible to res due to the chimney eect. Long corridors might require several smoke detectors. GB– 26 – – 27 –

1. Loosen the smoke detector from the base of the housing by turning it

anticlockwise. Mark the drill holes through the base.

2. Drill the holes, put in the plugs and screw in the base.

3. Remove the transport safety device (discharge protection for the battery) on the

negative battery terminal of the detector (see the diagram ) and fasten the smoke detector by twisting it clockwise onto the base. The detector has a safety device that prevents installation without a battery.

4. If you cannot fasten the smoke detector to the base:

Check whether the battery is correctly inserted and connected. Operation and function (test)

• The smoke detector is ready for use as soon as you put in the battery.

• Under the housing cover there is an indicator lamp which ashes every 344 seconds (about 6 minutes) to show that the battery is correctly inserted and is delivering enough power to generate an alarm.

• Check the function of the smoke detector at regular intervals. Press the lower section of the housing cover for 5 seconds. If you hear a signal, the device is working properly and can be fastened. By testing the device electronics, the mute function is automatically activated for 9 minutes, during which time the LED will ash once every 10 seconds. Aer this 9-minute period, the detector will automatically return to normal operating mode, in which the LED will again ash once approximately every 6 minutes.

• Alternatively, you can use the RM test spray available from ABUS to test the smoke detector. If the RM test spray enters the detection chamber, an alarm should sound, so that you can test whether the detector is working properly. Attention, loud alarm sound, hearing protection use! Putting into operation Replacing the battery

• If the battery is low, the smoke detector beeps once every 43 seconds (for up to 30 days) to remind you to replace the battery.

• You must change this battery when you hear this signal.

• Loosen the detector from the detector base by turning it in an anticlockwise direction, remove the old battery and insert a new battery into the detector with the correct polarity (see diagram 1).

• Even so, the smoke detector remains functional in this condition.

• You must test the smoke detector each time you change the battery.

• Carry out the test as detailed above. Note To ensure a long service life and reliable operation, we recommend using the following high-quality batteries:

• RWM50: DESAY CR123A, Ramway CR123A, Duracell Ultra 123

• RWM100: EVE CR123A, PAIRDEER CR123A Alarms and error signals When the alarm threshold is exceeded, a loud alarm sounds.

• The alarm continues sounding as long as there is smoke in the detection chamber.

• The alarm is only switched o when there is no more smoke in the detection chamber. What to do if there is a false alarm? A false alarm can occur due to very high air humidity, the build-up of smoke whilst cooking or a large build-up of dust, or smallest insects for example.

• If the alarm sounds, rst get yourself to safety. If you are certain that it is a false alarm, you can switch the alarm mute for about 9 minutes by pressing the test/stop button. Putting into operation GB– 28 – – 29 –

• The smoke detector will switch o automatically once the smoke particles have le the smoke chamber inside the detector. Mute: The alarm can be deactivated by pressing the test/stop button temporarily for about 9 minutes. If the mute function is active, the red LED will ash once approximately every 10 seconds. If, aer this 9-minute mute period, re smoke is still detected in the smoke measuring chamber, the acoustic alarm will sound again. Only activate the alarm mute function when you are absolutely sure that you can exclude a cause of re! Note

• Protect the device from dust, dirt and moisture. Maintenance and inspection A smoke detector must always be at least once a year in accordance with DIN 14676 are checked for functionality. A functional test can be triggered by prolonged activation of the test/stop button with this smoke alarm (5 in Figure 1). The LED then ashes quickly and it is a conrmation tone. Cleaning

• Dusty detectors must be cleaned. You can clean dust from the air vents of the detector using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air. If necessary, you can remove the dust with a brush.

• When changing the battery, carefully clean the detection chamber with a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or dirt.

• You can clean the surface using a cloth slightly dampened in soapy water. Cleaning and disposal Important

• Do not allow water to penetrate inside the device.

• Do not clean the device in a dishwasher.

• Do not use sharp, pointed, abrasive or corrosive cleaning materials or hard brushes.
