Frequently Asked Questions - SI 300 OLYMPIA

How do I install the SI 300 smoke detector?

Choose a central location on the ceiling, at least 50 cm from walls. Screw the base to the ceiling using the provided screws and dowels. Insert batteries, then twist the detector onto the base until it locks. Ensure it is horizontal.

Can I connect multiple SI 300 detectors together?

Yes, you can interconnect multiple detectors via radio. One detector must be set as master (press button 3 times) and others as slaves (press button 3 times while master is in pairing mode). All interconnected detectors will alarm together.

How do I change the batteries?

Remove the detector from its base, replace the two AA alkaline batteries with new ones (observe polarity), reinstall the detector, and perform a function test by pressing the button.

What should I do if the smoke detector alarms without smoke?

First, ventilate the room to clear any smoke or steam. If the alarm persists, press the button on the detector to silence it. Clean the detector to remove dust. If false alarms continue, check installation location (avoid kitchens, bathrooms, near drafts).

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

No, only use non-rechargeable alkaline AA batteries (1.5 V) as specified. Rechargeable batteries may cause malfunction.

How often should I test the smoke detector?

Test the detector weekly by pressing the test button. Additionally, test after battery changes, after long absences, and after cleaning. The alarm sound and indicator lamp should activate.

Is the SI 300 compatible with existing alarm systems?

Yes, it can be registered as a master device on Olympia Protect or ProHome series alarm systems. Follow the registration procedure in the manual.

What does the low battery signal sound like?

A short beep or chirp at regular intervals (typically every 30-60 seconds). Replace batteries within 30 days of hearing this signal.

Can I paint the smoke detector?

No, painting or covering the smoke detector will block the sensors and vents, preventing proper operation. The housing is marked 'DO NOT PAINT'.

Where should I not install the smoke detector?

Avoid kitchens, bathrooms, garages, near heating vents, fireplaces, or areas with high dust/steam. Keep at least 50 cm from walls and 1 m from ventilation shafts. Do not install in temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C.

Intended Use

The SI 300 smoke detector, subsequently referred to simply as the smoke detector, serves for the detection of smoke and high temperature indoors and to issue a loud acoustic signal if it is detected.

If triggered, the smoke detector sends a radio signal which can be received by alarm systems in the Protect and ProHome series or other smoke detectors. The alarm system and/or other smoke alarms then raise the actual alarm.

A condition for complying with the intended use is that the equipment is installed correctly and the information in the manual is observed and maintained.

Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modifications or reconstructions not described in the manual are not permitted and could cause the product to be damaged.

Set Up Without Alarm System

Connecting Smoke Detectors to Each Other Without Alarm System

The smoke detectors can be connected to each other directly via radio signals. In this case, one of the smoke detectors must be set-up as the master and the other smoke detectors registered as slaves on the master. The master-slave operation ensures that when an alarm is triggered, all the smoke detectors connected are also triggered.

Warning! Hearing damage through loud alarm signal! The alarm signal is loud and could cause hearing damage. Do not test the product close to your ears. Use appropriate ear protectors when connecting the smoke detectors.

1 Insert two appropriate batteries in the battery compartment of all the smoke detectors used. Pay attention that the batteries are inserted the right way around.
2 Press the button (2) on a smoke detector (master device) three times in succession. 3 The indicator lamp (3) lights up continuously. The master device is ready for connection.
4 Press the button (2) on one of the other smoke detectors three times in succession.
5 An acoustic signal is issued and the smoke detector is connected to the master device.
6 Repeat the connection process for all the other smoke detectors.

Set Up With an Alarm System

Registering Smoke Detectors on Alarm System

One of the smoke detectors must be registered as the master on an alarm system from the Protect or ProHome series. The master should be installed centrally and in transmission range to the alarm system.

Warning! Hearing damage through loud alarm signal! The alarm signal is loud and could cause hearing damage. Do not test the product close to your ears. Use appropriate ear protectors when connecting the smoke detectors.

1 Select the Register menu option on the alarm system.
2 Insert two appropriate batteries in the battery compartment of a smoke detector (master device). Pay attention that the batteries are inserted the right way around.
3 The base unit display indicates that registration has been completed successfully on the alarm system and the smoke detector issues an acoustic signal to confirm the process.
4 Connect other smoke detectors to the master device (see Connecting the Smoke Detectors to Each Other Without an Alarm System on Page 26).

Complete a function test following registration! Press the button (2). The function of the alarm signal, control lamp and, if necessary, connected devices are tested.

In the Event of an Alarm

Signalling

The illustration indicates the sequence of notification when the smoke detector set-up as the master is triggered.

If you have linked the smoke detectors to each other without an alarm system, notification occurs accordingly without an alarm system.

The slaves issuing the alarm are switched off automatically independent of the master after 10 minutes.

If the Smoke Detectors Raise an Alarm

• Keep calm.
  ■ Always assume that is a real emergency situation.

Proceed as follows if a smell, smoke or fire has developed in the area being monitored:

■ You and others at risk must move away from the danger area. Keep near the floor if there is a dense development of smoke and, if possible, hold a damp cloth in front of your mouth and nose. Follow the escape routes indicated. Close all doors and windows which can be accessed to prevent the smoke and fire spreading further.
Inform the fire service using the emergency number 112. Remain calm and answer the questions: Who is calling? Where is the fire? What has happened? Are there any injured persons? What types of injuries have occurred? Wait for instructions.
■ Try and extinguish the initial fires using the appropriate extinguishing agents available, such as fire extinguishers and fire blankets. However, never put yourself and others at risk.

Proceed as follows if no smell, smoke or fire has developed in the area being monitored:

■ Ensure that there are no suspicious smells, smoke or fire developments in the area being monitored.
■ Deactivate the alarm by ventilating the room in which the smoke detector has been triggered.

Or

■ Deactivate the alarm via the alarm system base unit (refer to the operating manual enclosed with the alarm system).
■ Please note that deactivation of the alarms is delayed. The process takes up to 40 seconds after deactivation on the alarm system.
■ Deactivate the alarm by pressing the button (2) on the smoke detector.

When several smoke detectors are used, the alarm from the smoke detector which triggered the alarm remains on. This serves to localise the smoke detector triggering the alarm. Then press the button (2) on the smoke detector which triggered the alarm. The alarm is fully deactivated.

Installation

Appropriate Installation Locations

A smoke detector monitors a circular area with a diameter of about 4.5 meters.

Therefore, install

■ a smoke detector in the hall area between living and sleeping areas (for escape route monitoring),
■ a smoke detector in each living room and bedroom,
■ at least one smoke detector in the hallway of each floor in the case of multi-storey buildings,
■ a smoke detector above the stairs in cases where an attic has been upgraded to a living area.

Inappropriate Installation Locations

The smoke detector must not be installed

■ in the vicinity of electrical devices such as energy-saving lamps, electrical units, etc. (minimum clearance: 50 cm),
■ in the vicinity of ventilation shafts (minimum clearance: 1 m) and strong draughts,
■ directly under the roof (min. distance of 30 cm to the roof of an attic),
■ in rooms in which vapours, dust or smoke develops under normal conditions (examples of this are workshops, kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, etc.),
■ in the vicinity of open hearths or fireplaces,
■ in rooms in which the temperature can rise above +40 °C or drop below +0 °C.

Installation Dimensions and Clearances

■ Install each smoke detector as centrally as possible in the room being monitored.
■ Only install the smoke detector on jointless, smoke-impervious ceilings.
■ Install the smoke detector directly underneath the ceiling surface.
■ Always install the smoke detector horizontally (even with sloping ceilings).
■ The distance between a smoke detector and wall must be minimally 50 cm and maximally 250 cm.
■ If the room to be monitored is very large, it may be advantageous to install more than one smoke detector.

Installation Steps

Proceed as follows to install the smoke detector:

Warning! Risk of serious injuries through damaging cables or pipes! During installation, pay attention to the possibility of cables and pipes running in the walls and ceilings. We are not deemed liable for installation errors. In case of doubt, contact a specialist!

1 Ensure that there are no electric cables, gas or water pipes near the installation location.
2 Screw the base (1) to the ceiling at the chosen installation location using two screws approx. 80 mm apart. (If necessary, use dowels as additional fixation material.)
3 Ensure that all the smoke detectors installed are connected by the way and means necessary for your configuration.
4 Install the smoke detector on the base (1) and screw the smoke detector in the direction of the arrow until it audibly locks in place.

You can only install the smoke detector on the base when a battery has been inserted in the battery compartment on the rear of the smoke detector.

Disassembly of the smoke detector is performed in the reverse sequence.

Changing the Batteries

If you hear a signal tone issued at regular intervals, it indicates that the batteries in a smoke detector are almost empty. Change the battery in the smoke detector concerned within 30 days.

CAUTION! Risk of property damage through using inappropriate batteries which are not approved by the manufacturer! The use of inappropriate batteries can cause loss of function of the smoke detector. Only use batteries approved by the manufacturer.

1 Remove the smoke detector from its base.
2 Change the batteries (observe correct polarity).
3 Install the smoke detector in the base.

When the smoke detector is connected to an alarm system, the alarm system base unit also signals low battery power in the display.

4 On completing the work, initiate a function test.
