Congratulations on purchasing your Bosch Smart Home Twinguard Smoke
Alarm. It will help you to make your home even safer and smarter.
The Twinguard Smoke Alarm can do more than just detect smoke. Its integrated
LED, lights up the escape route in case of an emergency. An air quality sensor
measures not only room temperature, but also relative humidity and volatile
organic compounds (VOC) of the air. For greater safety and comfort you
can interconnect multiple Twinguard Smoke Alarms through the Gateway.
We hope you enjoy your new product,
The Bosch Smart Home team

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Twinguard is a Smoke Alarm
manufactured to EN 14604: 2005/
AC: 2008 which connects wirelessly
to a Gateway. It is equipped with the
following functions and components:
▶ Audible alarm
▶ 360° light strip for visual signals
▶ Radio module
▶ Alarm LED
▶ Emergency lighting
▶ Air quality sensor
▶ Smoke sensor
▶ Large operating button
▶ Batteries
The product reliably warns you of
potential fires in your home. If smoke
is detected both a visual and audible
alarm is triggered.
The Gateway links all the Twinguard
Smoke Alarms installed in your home
and enables the connection to your
mobile device, so if an alarm is trigger
a notification is forwarded to your
phone.
The forwarding of alarms to connected Twinguards and mobile
devices will only work when the gateway is switched on and connected
to the internet.
Without the smoke alarm gateway you are not able to link multiple
smoke alarms.
The Gateway must be set up before the smoke alarms!
