Functions and technical features

• The smoke alarm does not detect gases, vapours, heat and fire/flames!
- It is possible that people with limited hearing may not hear the alarm! For such cases special alarms with optical signalling are available.
- 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 smokefree again.

Emergency procedure when alarm sounds

Smoke alarms should be regarded as a minimum level of equipment RM in all sleeping rooms, children's rooms and corridors or passages used as escape routes; one alarm should be fitted in the centre of each room, always on the ceiling (no wall mounting) (Fig. 2). Select the highest point in the room for mounting, with a minimum distance of 50 cm from any wall, furniture or lamps. Your installation is optimised RM by also installing the devices in all other rooms as well as 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 40^ C .

Choosing a location

Activation

Before commissioning the smoke alarm, it is important to activate it and test it for correct operation.

• The smoke alarm is hung on the mounting bracket, and the product makes a short "beep", indicating that the product is activated successfully.
• Firmly press the test button for at least 3 seconds. The alarm will sound 3 short beeps, 1.5 seconds pause, then repeat it until release the button. The alarm may sound for up to a few seconds after releasing the test button, indicating that the product can be used normally.

Installation and operation

Installation and operation

2. Drill the two holes with 5 mm.
3. Fit the rawlplugs into the drill holes.
4. Insert the screws into the mounting socket.
5. Attach smoke alarm by turning clockwise at the detector base.

Installation and operation

Setting up

• As soon as the smoke alarm is fixed to the mounting socket, the battery connections will automatically link and the unit will be powered up and ready to use.
• Whenever the smoke alarm is detached from the mounting socket, the battery power will automatically be switched off in order to prevent unwanted sounding of the alarm.

Normal operating mode

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

This smoke alarm device has an automatic night mode. In dark rooms, the LED signal will be dimmed to prevent disturbance of the night's sleep.

Electronic test

Perform regular functional tests on your smoke alarm by holding down the test / stop button (for approx. 3 seconds). The warning tone will sound and the 'ALARM' LED light will flash. This does not signal that there is smoke in the room but it is confirmation that the smoke alarm is functioning correctly.

Test / stop button

Display and functions

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!

Audible and visual signals

Low battery

Whenever the battery falls below a certain voltage level, the alarm will sound a warning signal (every 40 seconds). 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!

From 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 in case of 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 beep once every 40 seconds.

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

Audible and visual signals

Mode Audible Visual Note
Normal operating mode	-	LED flashes every 40 seconds	alarm functioning
Low battery beep approx. every 40 seconds		LED flashes every 40 seconds	Replace alarm

Buzzer fault warning	-	LED flashes 2x every 40 seconds	Buzzer is not functioning properly, replace device

Alarm mode

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

Alarm mute function

Once the device is in alarm mode, the alarm sound can be deactivated for 5-15 minutes by pressing the test / stop button.

Display and functions Care and maintenance

If the mute function is active, the LED will flash once approximately every 8 seconds.

If, after this period, fire 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 fire!

Care and maintenance

What to do in case of false alarm?

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 small insects and pollen.

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.
• 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!

Care and maintenance Disassembling, Warranty

- Do not use any sharp, pointed, abrasive or caustic cleaning products, chemicals or hard brushes!

Maintenance

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

- Operating life of the device: The smoke alarm must be replaced no later than 10 years + 6 months after the manufacturing date.

Disassembling

To disassemble the smoke alarm, take a screw driver and push it into the mounting hole. Then, turn the smoke alarm counterclockwise to remove it from the mounting bracket.
