Frequently Asked Questions - SD510 ALECTO

Where to install the SD510 smoke detector?

Install the detector on the ceiling, at least 50 cm from walls and 61 cm from corners. Place a detector on every floor and in every bedroom, prioritizing near sleeping areas. Avoid the kitchen, bathroom, garage, and areas with fans or heating vents.

How to test the SD510 smoke detector?

Press the test button for at least 2 seconds. If the alarm sounds (minimum 85 dB) and the LED flashes, the detector is working properly. Test it every week. Never use a candle or open flame to test it.

How to replace the battery of the SD510?

Remove the detector from the ceiling plate. Replace the batteries with 3 lithium Newsun CR-2450 batteries, respecting polarity. Reinstall the detector by turning until it clicks. A beep every 30 to 40 seconds indicates low battery.

What to do in case of false alarm?

Check the possible source: steam, cooking smoke, dust. Gently vacuum the sensor to clean it. If the alarm persists, make sure the detector is not covered or moved. If the problem continues, replace the batteries.

How to clean the SD510 smoke detector?

In dusty environments, use a vacuum cleaner to gently clean the sensor. Do not paint or cover the detector. Avoid using solvents or chemicals.

Can the SD510 detector be used in a caravan or motorhome?

Yes, subject to the same installation rules: mount it on the ceiling, away from sources of steam and heat. Ensure the ambient temperature remains between −10 °C and 40 °C.

What does the LED flashing every 50 seconds mean?

It is normal. The LED flashes about every 50 seconds to indicate that the detector is working and the batteries are good. In case of alarm, the LED flashes more rapidly.

How to create an evacuation plan with the smoke detector?

Draw a plan of your home with all doors and windows. Identify two exits per room. Familiarize all occupants with the sound of the alarm. Practice evacuating regularly. In case of alarm, leave immediately and call emergency services (112).

Is the SD510 suitable for hearing-impaired persons?

The detector emits a 85 dB audible alarm. For hearing-impaired persons, it is recommended to use detectors with visual alarms (strobes) or vibrating devices. The SD510 is not equipped with such.

What to do if the detector does not attach to the ceiling plate?

Make sure the batteries are correctly installed. The detector cannot be mounted without batteries. Turn the detector until it clicks onto the ceiling plate. If the problem persists, check that the plate is firmly attached to the ceiling.

The SD510 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the first stage. If smoke develops, the SD510 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 SD510:

• 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.

IMPORTANT: For optimal operation, we recommend mounting the smoke detector on the ceiling. See also the installation instructions. If ceiling mounting is not possible, we recommend that you place the smoke detector in the middle of a wall. The installation location must be in the natural airflow of the room and free of side walls or slope.

Required ✗ 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 SD510 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.
