WIRELESS INTERCONNECTABLE SMOKE ALARM WITH A WITH BUILT-IN 10-YEAR 3V BATTERY
Model: ASD-10QR
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Correct usage will ensure you have valuable extra
time to escape. Every correctly installed smoke
detector will increase your potential escape time.
• A smoke detector is not a fire-prevention
measure.
• Install the smoke detector in the correct place, if
possible in the middle of the ceiling.
WARNING: Read carefully chapter "Never fit a
smoke detector"
• Keep the smoke detector out of the reach of
children.
• Test the unit on a monthly basis and after a
period of absence. When the alarm does not
sound, have your smoke alarm inspected by the
service point or when the smoke alarm is more
than 10 years old discard the alarm.
CAUTION: Never test with fire!
• Clean the detector regularly (once a month) using
the soft brush from a vacuum cleaner. In addition
the smoke alarm can also be cleaned using a
moist cloth.
• If the detector emits a beeping sound every 40
seconds, this means that the battery is nearly flat
and that you should replace the smoke detector.
• The lifespan of smoke detectors is 10 years.
• A false alarm can be silenced by pressing the test
and silence button.
• You can make your Model ASD-10Q smoke
detector less sensitive for 10 ± 2 minutes by
pressing the test button shortly. The detector will
nonetheless sound the alarm if the quantity of
smoke is too significant.
• You can also test and switch on the hush feature
by using the ASD-RRC. This is the optionally
available wireless remote control.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN CASE OF
ALARM IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE
• Plan TWO escape routes and practice these with
all members of the family.
• Agree upon a location, where everyone goes to in
case of a fire.
In the event of a fire:
• Leave the building immediately and go to the
agreed location.
• Make sure everyone has left the building.
• Close the doors behind you and never open a
warm door. In case of a warm door, choose a dif-
ferent escape route.
• In the event of considerable build-up of smoke,
crawl out of the building keeping as close to the
floor as possible.
• Wherever possible, breathe through a cloth (pre-
ferably moist), or else hold your breath as much
as you can. The majority of deaths and injuries
are caused by smoke inhalation rather than fire
itself.
• Call the fire brigade outside or at the neighbours.
• NEVER go back into a burning building.
• Additional information can be obtained at the local
fire department.

In all occupied areas
such as bedrooms,
living room, study
and the escape
route as hallway,
basement and attic.
Maximum protection:
- Smoke detector in all rooms (with the exception
of bathrooms, kitchen, garages, etc.)
- Heat detectors can be installed in bathrooms,
kitchens, airing cupboards, utility rooms, etc.

• The smoke detector should preferably be installed
in the middle of the ceiling, at least 50 cm from the
wall.
• In the case of pitched roofs, install the smoke
GHWHFWRURQWKHVORSLQJZDOODWOHDVWFP
(measured vertically) from the ridge of the roof.
• Ensure that the detector can always be reached for
testing and cleaning.
Never fit a smoke alarm:
• In bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages,
etc. Places where a smoke detector may go off
needlessly due to condensation, normal smoke or
gases. A smoke detector should be fitted at least 5
metres from such sources of smoke.

place, etc.
• In the vicinity of (or adjacent to) decorative objects,
doors, sockets, lights, fittings, windows, wall
ventilators, etc. which could mean that smoke
does not reach the smoke detector. Minimum
50cm away.
• Surfaces that are usually warmer or colder than
the rest of the room. Differences in temperature
can prevent smoke from reaching the detector.
• Adjacent to or directly above stoves or heaters.
• In very high or difficult to reach places. This makes
it hard to reach the detector to test or clean it.
• In very dusty or dirty places. Accumulation of dust
will prevent smoke from reaching the smoke cham-
ber and in time will lead to a false alarm.
• Within 1 metre of dimmer switches and wiring.
Some dimmer switches can trigger a fault in the
detector.
• Within 1.5 metres of fluorescent lights. Electrical
impulses can adversely affect the functioning of the
detector.
• Outdoors and in spaces where a large number
of insects are found. Small insects in the unit’s
detection chamber can disrupt the functioning of
the detector.
The labels on the rear side of the detector
contain important information.
HOW TO USE THE ASD-10QR:
Wireless interconnecting the smoke alarms:
The ASD-10QR is a wireless device. Each smoke
alarm can be the sender or the receiver.
To interconnect a few smoke alarms the unique
RF code must be generated in one of them and
set to the others All ASD-10QR smoke alarms in a
house, apartment or property should be set to the
same RF Code.
It is not recommended to interconnect more than
24 smoke alarms.
Generating the unique RF Code:
• Remove all smoke alarms from bases.
• Press and hold the test button for about 4 sec.
on one of them (randomly chosen) and release
the button when the red LED will lit. This smoke
alarm (Master) has chosen one of the 65.535
possible RF codes. The red LED on the Master
will be lit until the interconnect procedure is over.
• In order to set the generated code to the other
smoke alarms(Slaves) push the Test button on
each of them. The successful setting of the code
to the Slave will be accompanied with blinking of
the red LED. You have two minutes to inter con-
nect all smoke alarms, after two minutes the red
LED will extinguish indicating that the intercon-
nect procedure has ended.
• To end the interconnect procedure you can also
press the test button on the Master or fasten the
Master on to the base. The red LED will extin-
guish indicating that the interconnect procedure
has ended.
How to disconnect a smoke alarm:
If you need to disconnect one smoke alarm carry
out Generating the unique RF Code procedure.
How to add a smoke alarm:
To add a smoke alarm you need to carry out the
Generating the unique RF Code procedure on all
the smoke alarms you want to interconnect.
Testing the smoke alarms and the intercon-
nection:
Install all interconnected smoke alarms to bases.
Press and hold on the Test button on one of them
(Test mode). After the period of 10 to 30 sec. all
interlinked smoke alarms will go to the Remote
Alarm mode. Upon releasing the Test button, the
other alarms will stay in the Remote Alarm for 5-10
sec.
The installation:
1. Choose a location that
satisfies the conditions as
described in: Positioning
the smoke detector.
2. Remove the base plate of
the detector by turning
the base plate anti-
clockwise (to the left).
3. Mark the mounting holes
in the base plate and
drill the holes (use a 6
mm drill). If you do not
use the dowels, then use a 3 mm drill. Screw
the base plate securely onto the ceiling. Make
sure that the base plate is tight against the cei-
ling so that no air circulation above the smoke
alarm is possible, which could impede smoke
detection.
If the opening is too large, this must be reme-
died by the use of a filler.
If you use the double sided tape, make sure
the base and the surface you want to install the
smoke alarm is grease free. Attach the double
sided tape to the base and then the base to the
ceiling.
4. Place the smoke detector on the base and turn
it until the smoke detector clicks into the base.
Turn the smoke detector clockwise to secure
the smoke detector and activate it. A melody
will sound to confirm the activation.
5. Test your smoke alarms by following the
procedure as described in chapter: "Testing
the smoke alarms and the interconnection"
ATTENTION: The smoke alarm should be co-
vered or temporarily removed during renovation
work or structural alterations. Once the day’s work
is complete, clean the smoke detector with the soft
brush from a vacuum cleaner and then activate
it again. Always test it by pressing the test button
once it has been reinstalled.
WARNING: covering the smoke alarm causes
loses its functionality.
CAUSES OF FALSE ALARM
The smoke detector can be activated by steam,
condensation, dust, smoke and small insects.
These are to be prevented as much as possible.
See chapter "Never fit a smoke alarm". If a
smoke alarm frequently gives a false alarm, it might
be necessary to install the detector in another loca-
tion.

ÀXLGV
LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS
In countries where they are commonly in use, smoke
detectors have contributed to reducing deaths and
injuries. Independent bodies have established that
they were insufficient in around 35% of fires, namely
in the following situations:
• Where the battery had been removed or was not
working. For that reason, you should test the unit
regularly.
• Where smoke is not able to reach the detector in
the event of a fire, meaning the unit cannot be set
off. Examples include a fire on another floor where
there is no smoke detector, a fire behind closed
doors, a fire in a chimney or smoke being blown
away from the detector. For that reason, smoke
detectors are recommended in all rooms, or at any
rate on every floor.
• Where the alarm is not heard. A person may not be
woken by the alarm if that person had consumed
excess alcohol and/or drugs.
• A few fires are not always detected on time, e.g.
smoking in bed, if there is no smoke detector in the
bedroom. In the case of escaping from gas or
violent explosions, improperly storing explosive
products and flammable liquids (petrol, paint,
methylated spirit, etc.), electrical faults, acids,
children playing with matches (fire).
• The lifespan of smoke detectors is 10 years.
