3. Installation tips

3.1. Where to install the smoke detector

The smoke detectors must be installed so that they can detect smoke.

• Install in places where people sleep (especially children's bedrooms)
• Install close to exits
• On the ceiling, in the middle of the room
• At least 50 cm from walls and other objects
• Maximum installation height 6 m

3.2. Installing a smoke detector in a room with an unusual shape

• Corridors with a maximum length of 3 m: Max. 15 m between 2 smoke detectors.
• Gabled rooms

o If the slope of the ceiling exceeds 20^ from the horizontal, the smoke detectors must be installed between 0.5 m and 1 m from the ceiling.
o Partially gabled rooms: if the flat ceiling has a width less than or greater than 1 m, consider the slope of the ceiling to be greater than 20^ . If the width of the ceiling exceeds 1 m, think of it as a conventional ceiling.
- Rooms with divided ceilings:

o If the height of the subdivisions (ceiling, beams, etc.) is less than or equal to 0.2 m, a smoke detector can be installed either on the beams or on the ceiling.

o If the height of the subdivisions (ceiling, beams, etc.) is greater than 0.2 m and the area of your ceiling panels is less than or equal to 36 m2, use the ceiling as normal.

o If the height of the subdivisions (ceiling, beams, etc.) is greater than 0.2 m and the service of the ceiling panels is greater than 36 m2, you must install a smoke detector on each ceiling panel.

3.3 Areas to avoid when installing a smoke detector

• In an environment with air draughts (e.g. near an air-conditioning or fan system).
• Areas where there are frequent fires, such as kitchens.
• Areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, or near appliances such as dishwashers or washing machines.

4.1. Battery low

When the battery is low, the smoke detector warns you by emitting a repetitive beep and flashing for around 30 days. Replace the batteries with one of the types recommended in the paragraph on “Technical specifications”

• Remove the smoke detector from mounting bracket by turning it anticlockwise.
• Install the new battery as shown in point 1. Introduction to the product
• Test the alarm using the test button every time you change the battery.

4.2. Fault warning mode

If the smoke detector is not working properly, it moves into “fault warning” mode. Attempt to clean the smoke detector (see maintenance). If you do not see any improvement and it remains in fault mode, replace the smoke detector!

5. Maintenance

• Test the smoke detector is working properly once a week using the test button. If the smoke detector is working correctly, you will hear a beep. Because the alarm is very loud, make sure you keep your distance from the unit while carrying out the test. If the smoke detector does not emit a beep, it must be replaced immediately!
• Clean the smoke detector at least once a month to get rid of grime, dust and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and pass it over the sides and the lid of the smoke detector. Do not remove the upper cap on the smoke detector to clean the insides.
• Do not attempt to repair the smoke detector. If the smoke detector is damaged in a way that affects how it works, it must be replaced!
• False alarms are often caused by dust or steam.

6. Warnings

• To avoid injuries, this device must be securely fixed the ceiling in accordance with the instructions.
• The batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat, such as sunlight or fire.
• Do not paint or cover the smoke detector
• Proper operation of the Detector is ensured by the use of one of the following batteries: Raymax – 6LR61 (9 V 560 mAh) / Duracell – MN1604 (9 V 600 mAh) / Gold Peak – GP1604A (9 V 550 mAh)
