(6) Alert the fire service: tel. 112 Functions and technical features | Emergency procedure when alarm sounds– 29 – Choosing a location Smoke alarms should be regarded as a minimum level of equipment RWM in all sleepingrooms,children’sroomsandcorridorsorpassagesusedasescaperoutes; 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 mini- mum distance of 50 cm from any wall, furniture or lamps. In the case of sloping ceilings with an angle of over 20°, detectors should be installed 0.5 - 1 m away from the highest point. Your installation is optimised RWM 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

• inareaswheretemperaturesmayfallbelow0°Corexceed40°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 from the cover base

by turning anti-clockwise.

2. Remove the locking pin located in the

mounting socket (further use in step 7, is used for unintentional disassembly).

3. Mark the holes through the cover base.

4. Fit the required rawlplug into the drill hole

and tightly screw in the detector base. When marking out your drill holes, ensure that no electrical wires cables, pipes or other installation components are located behind the installation point!

5. 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). Installation and operation Installationsdatum | Installation date | Date d'installation: _____________ (DDMMYYYY)z. B. : 02|01|2019

Choosing a location– 34 –

6. Attach smoke alarm by turning clockwise at the detector base. Small markings

are found on the side of the detector base and on the alarm itself which make it easier to fit the alarm onto the base.

7. Insert the locking pin from step 2 into the designated side opening to prevent

thealarmfromturning(seenextillustration). Setting up The test key now has to be pressed for at least three seconds until the red signal LED lights up, and then released again within two seconds. The detector emits a signal tone when it has been activated successfully and is therefore ready for operation. If this process has not been carried out, the alarm is not ready for operation and will not trigger an alarm in the event of an emergency. Normal operating mode TheredLEDlightunderthecoverwillflashapprox.every40secondsinnormal operating mode signalling that the alarm is ready for use. Installation and operation Display and functions– 35 – Electronic test Perform regular functional tests on your smoke alarm by holding down the test / stop button. The warning tone will sound and the red ‘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. By testing the device electronics, the mute function is automatically activated for 10 minutes, during which time the LED will flash once every 10 seconds. After this 10-minute period, the detector will automatically return to normal operating mode, in which the LED will again flash once approximatelyevery40seconds. Always test the functioning of the smoke alarm after installation. Additionally, a regular inspection is recommended. Your hearing is protected by maintaining an arm’s length distance between yourself and the device! Display and functions

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 contamina- tion. If the alarm’s sensitivity trigger fails under the minimum required threshold level(e.g.duetoexcessivecontaminationofthesmokemeasurechamber),theunit will beep once every 40 seconds. If the 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’. Display and functions GB– 38 – Alarm mute function Oncethedeviceisinalarmmode,thealarmsound can be deactivated for 10 minutes by pressing the test / stop button. If the mute function is active, the red LED will flashonceapproximatelyevery8seconds.

Upon completion of the work, it is imperative, however, that the device be returned to its original opera- ting state and be checked! Display and functions | Care and maintenance – 39 – 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.
