Frequently Asked Questions - SM11R4 SAVS

How to activate the SM11R4 detector?

Press and hold the test/silence button at the center of the detector for about 10 seconds. A beep sounds and the red LED lights up: the detector is activated.

How to pair multiple wireless detectors?

First activate each detector. On detector 1, press the test/silence button 4 times (green LED flashes slowly). On detector 2, press 2 times (green LED flashes quickly). The connection is established when the LED stops flashing. You can connect up to 30 detectors from the SAVS SafeLink series.

Why does my detector beep every 56 seconds?

This indicates a low battery. The red LED also flashes every 56 seconds. Replace the batteries immediately with two CR14505 batteries.

What to do in case of false alarm during cooking?

Press the test/silence button to pause the alarm for about 10 minutes. Check the detector location (move it away from the stove) and clean it with a vacuum cleaner if necessary.

How to test the detector?

Make sure the detector is activated. Press the test/silence button. You should hear 2 sets of 3 beeps and see the red LED flash once per second. If detectors are paired, all connected detectors sound the same.

What is the maximum range between detectors?

The wireless range is 100 meters in open space without obstacles. Walls and obstacles reduce this range.

Where to install the smoke detector in a house?

Install it on the ceiling in the center of the room, at least 50 cm from walls and corners. In hallways longer than 10 m, use multiple detectors. On a wall, place it 10-30 cm below the ceiling. Avoid kitchens and bathrooms to reduce false alerts.

How to clean the detector?

Clean the detector once a month with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a soft brush. Do not use cleaning products, solvents, or sprays. Never paint the detector.

Is the detector compatible with existing systems?

This detector is compatible only with detectors from the SAVS SafeLink series. It cannot be paired with other brands or models.

How to pause the alarm?

In case of alarm, press the test/silence button. The audible alarm stops and the red LED flashes every 8 seconds. The pause lasts about 10 minutes, after which the detector resumes normal operation.

Thank you for your purchase. Please read this manual carefully before installation or use. Are you installing the detector for someone else? If so, please leave the manual with the end user.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• This smoke alarm is not suitable for alerting people with hearing impairments.
  ■ Consumption of alcohol or narcotics may prevent you from hearing the alarm sound.
  ■ Fires in chimneys, walls or enclosed spaces may not be detected.
  ■ This detector only detects smoke; not flames, heat, carbon monoxide or other gases.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

■ Never ignore an alarm signal. Not responding to smoke detection can lead to serious injury or death.
- Silent mode (pause) suppresses noise only. Always check for danger.
- Test the detector at least once a month. Does the test not work? Replace the detector immediately.

2. Activate detector

WARNING: This smoke detector is disabled by default! Activate the detector before using it.

2.1 Activate smoke detector

1. Press the test/silence button (in the middle of the front of the detector)
2. Press and hold the button for about 10 seconds. A beep sounds and the red LED lights up
3. Release the button as soon as this happens
4. The smoke detector is now switched on and ready for use

2.2 Deactivating smoke detector

Note that this switches off the detector. Press and hold the test/silence button for 10 seconds. The smoke detector beeps twice and the red LED flashes twice. Then, release. The detector is now switched off.

3. Wireless link detector

Each SM11R4 detector has a built-in RF module that allows up to 30 detectors from the SAVS - SafeLink series to be linked wirelessly. As soon as one detector detects smoke, all detectors will sound simultaneously.

3.1 Connecting smoke detectors

Please note: the smoke detectors must first be activated before they can be connected to each other. See chapter [Activating detector] for more information.

• Press the test/silence button on detector 1 four times to start the connection mode (green LED flashes slowly).
• Then press the test/silence button on detector 2 twice (green LED flashes quickly). When pairing is successful, the LED stops flashing. The detector is now successfully paired.
• Want to pair an additional detector? Repeat these steps with a detector that is already paired. This allows you to connect up to 30 smoke detectors to each other.

Please note: after pairing, test each detector as described in the section "Test detector".

Remarks

• If pairing is unsuccessful, the green LED will continue to flash for approximately one minute. The red LED will then light up for two seconds to indicate an error. In this case, repeat the pairing process from the beginning.
  ■ Wireless pairing works up to 100 metres in open space, without obstacles.

3.2 Unpairing smoke detectors

Press the test/silence button twice quickly. The green LED flashes for 60 seconds: the detector is in receive mode. After 60 seconds, the flashing stops. The interconnection is now broken.

4. Test and mute

4.1 Test detector

Ensure that the smoke alarm is switched on as described in the section [Activate detector]". To test the alarm, proceed as follows:

• Press the test/silence button in the centre of the front of the alarm.
  ■ Loud beeps will sound (2 times 3 times).
  ■ The red LED flashes approximately once per second.
  ■ If the detectors are wireless linked, all linked detectors will emit the same beep.

Note: This test checks the operation of the smoke detection system without smoke. Do you hear no sound? Please see the [Troubleshooting] section later in this manual.

4.2 Mute alarm (Pause Mode)

During an alarm, press the test/silence button to temporarily to mute the alarm. The red LED then flashes once every 8 seconds. After 10 minutes, the detector automatically Figure 1: best locations resumes normal operation.

6. Installation location

The correct installation of a smoke detector is crucial for quick and reliable warning in case of fire. Follow the guidelines below to install the smoke detector as effectively as possible.

In the kitchen: place the smoke detector as far as possible from the cooker and sink to avoid false alarms
■ Make sure the test/silence button is easily accessible.

• In bedrooms, corridors and escape routes: make sure the alarm is easily audible in each sleeping area.
• Only one smoke detector available? Then place it as close at all bedrooms, never in the basement or near the central heating system.
• At the top of stairs: install a smoke detector at the top of the stairs on each floor.
• On the ceiling: smoke rises and spreads horizontally. Preferably mount the smoke detector in the centre of the ceiling, at least 50 cm from walls or corners (see figure 2).
• On the wall: can't mount the detector on the ceiling? Install the detector 10 to 30~cm below the ceiling.

Important warnings

■ Always have the smoke detector installed by a competent person.
- This smoke alarm is not a substitute for the proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances, such as stoves or boilers.

7. Install detector

This SAVS smoke detector can be attached in two ways: with screws and plugs or with the supplied tape strip.

7.1 Installation with screws and dowels

■ Unscrew the mounting plate from the smoke detector.

• Mark the screw holes on the wall or ceiling and drill 5 mm holes.
• Insert the dowels and fix the mounting plate with screws.
• Tighten the detector clockwise until it is tight.

7.2 Installation with tape strip

■ Unscrew the mounting plate from the smoke detector.
- Clean the surface where you want to attach the smoke detector so that it is dry and grease-free.
■ Remove one protective layer and stick the tape to the back of the mounting plate.
■ Remove the second protective layer, press the mounting plate into place and hold for 60 seconds.
- Place the smoke detector on the mounting plate and tighten it clockwise until it is secure.

8. Maintenance

• Test the smoke detector every month. Check that the sound signal sounds and the LED light works.
• Clean the detector monthly with a hoover (soft brush) after removing the ceiling.
• Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
• Do not use sprays such as air fresheners, hairspray or other aerosols near the detector.
  ■ Never paint the detector. This may block the sensors and interfere with operation.

• Do not open the detector or clean the inside. This will void the warranty.
  ■ Always replace the detector immediately after maintenance.
