Operating instructions Wireless smoke detector Item no. 2520087 1 Intended use The smoke detector uses the scattered light principle and detects even the smallest smoke particles that penetrate its housing. The appealing design ts harmoniously into any interior environment. This battery of the detec- tor will last up to 5 years due to low power consumption. The smoke detector may only be installed and operated in dry and dust-free interior environ- ments where no vapour or smoke is generated under normal conditions. The wireless smoke detector early detects smoke in residential living rooms and bedrooms and emits a loud, high-pitched sound when smoke is detected to timely warn the occupants. An integrated wireless transmitter/receiver allows networking up to 24 identical wireless smoke detectors. If one of the wireless smoke detectors triggers an alarm as it senses smoke, all other wireless smoke detectors will trigger an alarm. Always observe the safety information in these instructions!

The wireless smoke detector cannot work without batteries or when batteries are empty.

For safety reasons, do not use rechargeable batter- ies; use only non-rechargeable batteries.

For safety reasons, the wireless smoke detector cannot be attached to the mounting plate when no batteries are inserted.

Turn the upper part of the wireless smoke detector to the left (counter-clockwise) to detach it from the mounting plate.

Use the mounting plate as a template and mark the holes to be drilled in the two outer recessed open- ings.

Fasten the mounting plate with suitable screws; use dowels, if necessary. Ensure you do not damage any wires or pipes during fastening or drilling. Because the product is heavy, we do not recom- mend using adhesive pads for the installation for safety reasons.

Ensure the correct polarity when inserting. Note the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.

Put the wireless smoke detector on the mounting plate and lock it in place by turning its upper part to the right (clockwise).

After installation, check the wireless smoke detector for functionality by briey pressing the “Test” button in the centre of the wireless smoke detector. The wireless smoke detector will beep twice, and the button will start to ash red. Also, see chapter “Function test”.

7.2 Battery replacement

When the battery is empty, the red LED ashes twice every 40 seconds. Two short beeps are emitted at the same time. In that case, replace the at battery with a new one.

Check the wireless smoke detector once a week and after every battery change by briey pressing the “Test” button in the centre of the wireless smoke detector. The wireless smoke detector will beep twice, and the button will start to ash red. Follow the instructions in the chapter “Function test”. Proceed as follows:

Turn the upper part of the smoke detector to the left (counter-clockwise) to detach it from the mounting plate.

Replace the battery. Insert a new battery with the correct polarity. Note the polarity mark- ings inside the battery compartment.

Put the smoke detector on the mounting plate and lock it in place by turning its upper part to the right (clockwise). For safety reasons, the smoke detector cannot be attached to the mounting plate when no batteries are inserted.

7.3 Programming multiple smoke detectors

Several identical wireless smoke detectors can be networked. When one of the wireless smoke detectors triggers an alarm, all other detectors will do so as well (if they are within the range). For example, when one wireless smoke detector triggers an alarm as it detects smoke in the living room, all other networked wireless smoke detectors in the entire at are triggered as well. Proceed as follows: To start the networking procedure, remove the wireless smoke detector from the ceiling if al- ready mounted there. Put this wireless smoke detector near the other wireless smoke detectors to be registered.

1. Press and hold down the “Test” button for approx. 8 seconds. Wait until the red LED in the

centre of the “Test” button starts to ash. This means the alarm is in programming mode.

2. Repeat step (1) for another wireless smoke detector.

3. Briey press the “Test” button on either of the two wireless smoke detectors to connect to

the network. After successful connection, the red LED stops ashing on the wireless smoke detector whose button was not pressed. Perform steps 1 to 3 within 2 minutes. If the button is not pressed for 2 minutes, the programming mode will be disabled! Repeat steps 1 to 3 to network a third wireless smoke detector. Up to 24 identical wireless smoke detectors can be linked together. Installation place for minimum protection:

children‘s room) Installation place for maximum protection:

Smoke detectors should be installed in every room for maximum protection. Do not install them in kitchens, bathrooms or other premises where vapour is generated.

Install smoke detectors near bedrooms. Also, plan for escape routes from bedrooms; those rooms are usually the farthest from the exit. If there is more than one bedroom, install an additional smoke detector in every bedroom.

This also extends to other rooms with sleeping facilities (such as children‘s room, guest room, etc.).

Provide additional smoke detectors to protect stairways, which can act like chimneys for smoke and re and may contribute to their spread.

Install at least one smoke detector on each oor level.

Locate a smoke detector in every room where there are electrical appliances or equipment (e.g., a TV set in the living room). Often those devices, in particular, pose a risk of heavy, toxic smoke formation.

It is recommended to install two or more smoke detectors in larger rooms.

Smoke and other combustion residues rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mount the smoke detectors on the ceiling in the centre of the room, this place is the nearest to all other points in the room.

Ceiling mounting is recommended in conventional residential buildings. In caravans or mo- bile homes mounting on a vertical wall is required instead to prevent a thermal barrier that may form at the ceiling.

When installing the smoke detector on the ceiling, ensure a free space of at least 50 cm from the sidewall and 60 cm from each corner.

Install the smoke detector as close to the centre of the ceiling as possible.

The smoke detector should be attached to a brace suspending from the ceiling or simi- lar spots. Ensure to maintain the minimum distances to corners and walls. In rooms with sloped ceilings (top oor), a separate smoke detector should preferably be installed on each slope.

A minimum free space of 150 cm should be provided between the smoke detector and lights, exhaust fans, air conditioners and air inlet/outlet openings.

6.3 Unfavourable installation sites for smoke detectors

The following installation sites should be avoided:

Kitchen/bathroom and WC: The cooking fumes or water vapours present in these rooms may trigger a false alarm.

Garages: A vehicle‘s exhaust fumes may trigger a false alarm in garages.

Near heaters or air conditioners.

Gable roof: Hot air (e.g. in summer or when heating the room) may accumulate here, which would prevent the fumes of a dangerous smouldering re from reaching the smoke detector.

Ceilings in caravans or similar: The sun heats the room ceiling and hence the air in the upper part of the caravan. The hot air keeps the fumes of a dangerous smouldering re from reaching the smoke detector.

Stationary walls in residential buildings: Here the smoke is detected very late, which causes a delayed alarm.

Corners in buildings: Here the smoke is detected very late, which causes a delayed alarm. 7 Controls

6. Living room7.4 Any wireless smoke detector can be unlinked as follows:

Press and hold down the “Test” button for approx. 8 seconds until the LED starts to ash.

Then briey release the “Test” button.

Then press the “Test” button and hold until the LED goes off and the wireless smoke detec- tor emits a beep conrming that it has been disconnected.

Under normal operation, the red LED near the “TEST” button ashes briey every 40 sec- onds.

Briey press the “TEST” button to check the alarm tone. The wireless smoke detector will emit three beeps twice, and the button will start to ash red. This indicates that the wireless smoke detector and batteries are functioning correctly. When no alarm tone sounds or the LED does not ash, batteries may be empty. Replace the batteries and perform a new function test. If this does not help, replace the wireless smoke detector.

With multiple wireless smoke detectors networked, they all will beep during the function test. In this case, the networked wireless smoke detectors emit beeps for a longer time so that you have plenty of time to check the alarm function of all installed units for functionality. If you could not check all units in all rooms due to lack of time, use the “Test” button on another wireless smoke detector again. If an alarm tone seems too loud or too unpleasant to your ear, use hearing protection during the function test! It is better when a real alarm sounds loud such that even a sleeping person or the one with impaired hearing can hear an alarm. It is strongly recommended that you check the wireless smoke detector weekly to ensure proper operation. Wireless transmission can be checked by blowing ciga- rette smoke into the wireless smoke detector. Accessory retailers offer special test sprays for smoke detectors. In this case, all wireless smoke detectors must trigger an alarm.

7.6 Modes of operation

7.6.1 Normal operation

Under normal operation, the red LED ashes once every 40 seconds.

When the smoke concentration reaches the alarm point, the red LED starts to ash, and the wireless smoke detector beeps.

When you briey press the “Test” button, the red LED starts to ash, the alarm emits three beeps twice and stops automatically.

7.6.4 Battery too weak

When the battery is empty, the red indicator ashes twice every 40 seconds. Two short beeps are emitted at the same time. In that case, replace the at battery with a new one.

The red LED ashes twice every 40 seconds and the alarm beeps twice every 40 seconds.

You can switch the wireless smoke detector from the alarm mode to the standby mode (alarm off) by pressing and holding the “Test” button on the wireless smoke detector. If the smoke concentration is still too high during the standby mode that remains active for 9 minutes, the wireless smoke detector triggers an alarm. If the wireless smoke detector signals an alarm, check whether the seat of re does exist. If re or smoke is detected, alert your family, and everyone must leave the building. Call the re department. If there is no re or smoke, check the device for functionality. Refer to the chapter “What to do in case of an alarm?” and “Nuisance alarm”. 8 Troubleshooting Fault Possible cause Remedy Immediate alarm after switching

Too much smoke Remove the battery and re-insert it when the smoke has cleared Internal circuit is dama- ged (device is defective) Replace the wireless smoke detector Smoke detector beeps every 40 seconds after switching on Low battery voltage (weak battery) Replace the battery Two beeps are emitted every 40 seconds after switching on Internal circuit is dama- ged (device is defective) Replace the wireless smoke detector No alarm during testing Battery inserted incorrectly Re-insert the battery, observing the correct polarity Low battery voltage (weak battery) Replace the battery Internal circuit is dama- ged (device is defective) Replace the wireless smoke detector No alarm or very quiet alarm Low battery voltage (weak battery) Replace the battery Alarm transmitter is de- fective Replace the wireless smoke detector When other problems/faults occur, remove the battery and re-insert it correctly after a short time (approx. 1 minute) and then check that the wireless smoke detector functions correctly. If you cannot solve the problem yourself, do not disassemble the wireless smoke detector! Contact your local dealer or manufacturer for more information. 9 Sketching an escape plan and performing an emergency drill

Sketch a plan of your at or house that shows all doors and windows and at least two escape routes for each room. A rope ladder may be necessary for windows on the second oor.

Discuss the escape plan with your family and explain what should be done in the event of re or smoke.

Designate a meeting spot outside of your home.

Show everyone how the wireless smoke detector sounds when it triggers an alarm. Every- one must be sure to leave the house immediately when they hear that sound.

Perform the smoke/re alarm drill at least every 6 months. Drills will help you to put your evacuation plan to the test before an actual emergency may arise. It may happen that you cannot reach your children in a case of re. They must know too what to do and how to behave. 10 What to do in case of an alarm?

If one of the wireless smoke detectors senses smoke, they all will trigger a loud alarm tone. The alarm stops when the air is free from smoke again.

If an alarm sounds, leave your at or house immediately according to the agreed escape plan. Every second counts; do not waste time getting dressed or trying to take your valu- ables with you.

Before opening any door, check if it is hot. If the door is hot, or if you see smoke coming in from under the door, do not open the door! Use the alternative escape route instead. If the door is cool, press your shoulder against it, open the door slightly and be ready to slam it back again if heat and smoke penetrate from the room behind it.

If the air is full of smoke, stay low to the oor. Breathe through a cloth (if possible) mois- tened with water.

Once you have made your way out of the at or house, proceed to the previously agreed meeting spot and ensure everybody is there.

Call the reghters from your neighbour‘s house, not your own!

Do not return to your at or house until you have been told it is safe by the re service.11 Nuisance alarm Cigarette smoke or vapour from cooking can activate the wireless smoke detector. Nuisance alarms are also possible in case of exposure to dust when grinding (e.g. when renovating a room) and if too much hair spray/deodorant is sprayed in a room or similar. Normally, smoking cigarettes in the room will not trigger the wireless smoke detector unless the smoke is blown directly into the sensor. If the wireless smoke detector signals an alarm, check whether the seat of re does exist. If re or smoke is detected, alert your family, and everyone must leave the building. Call the re department. If there is no re or smoke, check whether the alarm could have been triggered due to the above-mentioned reasons. 12 Cleaning and maintenance Apart from the occasional battery change, the product is maintenance-free. Clean the outside of the product with a soft, clean, dry cloth. Dust can be easily removed from the wireless smoke detector with a soft, clean, long-haired brush or a vacuum cleaner. In especially dusty environments such as bedrooms, this should be done at least once a year. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions since these can damage the housing or impair functioning. For safety reasons, the wireless smoke detector should be replaced every 8 years. 13 Range This range only applies in ideal conditions with no obstructions (i.e. a direct eld of view between the transmitter and receiver without interference). In practice, however, there may be walls, ceilings and other obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver, which will reduce the range accordingly. Different objects have a different impact on the range; therefore, no specic range can be guaranteed. The range should be sufcient for use in a detached house. Sometimes the range can be considerably reduced due to: – Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings and metal-framed drywalls – Coated/metallised insulated glass – Proximity to metal and conductive objects (e.g. radiators) – Proximity to human bodies – Other devices on the same frequency (e.g., wireless headphones, wireless speakers) – Proximity to electric motors/appliances, transformers, power supplies, computers 14 Disposal
