Frequently Asked Questions - BPB18 ALECTO

How to install the BPB18 detector?

Attach the ceiling plate to the chosen location using the provided wall plugs and screws. Insert the batteries (3x CR-2450) respecting polarity. Twist the detector onto the plate until the test button faces you. The detector is then ready.

What to do in case of false alarm?

First evacuate the area if the source is unclear. If the alarm is due to steam or cooking smoke, ventilate the room to dissipate the smoke. The alarm will stop automatically once the smoke clears.

How to test the detector?

Press the test button on the detector for at least 2 seconds. If the detector works properly, an audible alarm sounds and the LED flashes. Perform this test every week.

Which battery to use and how to replace it?

Use 3 lithium batteries type Newsun CR-2450 (3V). To replace, twist the detector to remove it from the plate, insert new batteries respecting polarity, then put the detector back on the plate.

The detector beeps every 30-40 seconds, what to do?

This signal indicates low batteries. Replace the batteries as soon as possible with 3 new CR-2450 batteries.

Can you paint the detector?

No, do not paint or cover the smoke detector. Paint or any coating may obstruct the detection openings and prevent proper operation.

What is the lifespan of the detector?

The detector itself has no specified lifespan, but the batteries last about 5 years under normal use. Replace batteries as needed. The detector should be replaced if it no longer works after a test.

Is the detector suitable for the kitchen or bathroom?

It is not recommended to install the detector in the kitchen, bathroom, or garage, as steam and exhaust fumes can cause false alarms. Instead, place it in hallways near bedrooms.

How to clean the detector?

In dusty places, gently clean the sensor with a vacuum cleaner. Do not use water, solvents, or chemicals. Do not paint the detector.

What to do in case of a real fire?

If the alarm sounds and you detect fire or smoke, evacuate immediately following your escape plan. Stay low if smoke is thick, and call emergency services (112) once safe. Do not open hot doors.

VERMEIDEN SIE FOLGENDE MONTAGEPLÄTZE FÜR DAS SA-100 GERÄT:

The SA-100 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the first stage. If smoke develops, the SA-100 will give a loud beep of at least 85dB (A). As part of the link function all the smoke alarms within range will sound the alarm. We advice to test the smoke detectors weekly using the test button on the detectors. Save this manual in a safe place or inside of the electricity meter cupboard.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS FOR THE SA-100:

• Install the first smoke detector near the bedroom. Ensure that it is placed so, if it would detect fire, at least one exit route would still be accessible. We recommend to place one alarm near each potential blockade of your exit route, so you are alerted before a fire would block off escape.
• Use multiple detectors to increase safety and ensure alert before the escape route is blocked.
  • Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your house.
  • Install at least one smoke detector in each room where people smoke or where there is equipment that may potentially cause a fire.
• Smoke and heat will first move upwards towards the ceiling; after that the smoke and heat will travel horizontally.
• Install the detector on the ceiling. Except for rooms smaller than 1m, you should stay at least 50 cm away from the wall and 61cm from any corner. Smoke and heat do not gather in such corners, preventing the detector from alerting you on time.

Do not use

DO NOT INSTALL IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:

• The kitchen; Steam from cooking might give a false alarm.
• The shower or bathroom; water damp might cause a false alarm and the moist environment might damage the detector.
• The garage: The car exhaust might cause a false alarm.
• In front of a fan or nearby the exhaust of an air conditioner or heater.
  • In a ceiling nook.
• In rooms where the temperature could reach below -10°C or beyond 40°C.
• Do not paint or otherwise cover this smoke detector.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

Attach the ceiling plate using the included plugs and screws to the ceiling on a location of choice. Wall mounting is not recommended for smoke detection. Put the batteries in the detector. Then put the detector to the ceiling plate and, twist clockwise to lock it in place. Perform a first test by holding the test key for two seconds. Also see the paragraph: "Testing".

USING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:

Using: The smoke detector works if the 3 x 3V lithium batteries have been placed and/or the red strip is removed and the SA-100 is mounted to the ceiling. The unit can only be mounted to the plate if the batteries have been installed. The LED underneath the test button will now flash ± every 50 seconds. Once smoke is detected, the alarm will sound. Once the smoke disappears, the smoke alarm will stop automatically

Test: Hold the test key for at least 2 seconds. The operation is still correct if you hear two or three signal tones. Check the smoke detectors weekly. In alarm status the smoke detector will generate about 85dB(A). Do not use candles, open fire or cigarettes to test the smoke detector.

ATTENTION:

• If the cause of an alarm is unclear, assume it’s caused by fire. Immediately evacuate the building.
• Keep the smoke detectors out of range of children.
• Protect against dust during rennovations. Without protection the smoke detectors will lose their functionality.

Maintenance: The smoke detector is maintenance-free. In very dusty rooms they may be cleaned by vacuum.

PLAN AN ESCAPE ROUTE:

- Make a map and mark all locations of doors and windows and a possible escape route. Note that you may need an escape ladder on high floors.

• Ensure everyone in the house knows the sound the smoke alarms produce and regularly practice use of the escape route.
• Leave the house immediately according to the plan when hearing the alarm. Every second counts: so respond quickly. If you do not notice smoke or heat, check if everyone in the house is in a secure location.
• Do not open any doors without feeling wether the door is warm or if there is smoke coming from underneath the doors. If it is, do not open that door. If the door is cold, put your shoulder firmly against the door and open it a small amount to check for any heat or smoke first.
• If there is much smoke, keep low and take shallow breaths, preferably through a moist towel. Call the fire department as soon as you are safe outside.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES:

The detector is supplied using 3 x 3V Lithium batteries. Only use the recommended type Newsun CR-2450. Under normal conditions the battery will last at least five years. If it is about to need replacement, the smoke detector will make a chirping sound every 30 to 40 seconds. Pay attention to the polarity when replacing batteries. Test the detector after every battery replacement. If the smoke detector does not function, please contact your supplier.

ENVIRONMENT:

Do not throw away used batteries, but recycle them using your local chemical depot. Product may not be thrown out as normal waste, but must be recycled as electrical waste.
