1. Product overview
This re alarm is approved in accordance with EN14604:2005,
the latest and most rigorous European standard for re alarms.
The unique X-Prole's optical detection chamber is particularly
sensitive to slow and smouldering res typically originating from
living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where porous materials
or textiles are present, while being highly resistant to false alarms.
The re alarm with its built-in battery has a guaranteed service
life of 10 years.

1.1. Product features
• Sealed built-in 10 year lithium battery.
• Approved according to EN14604: 2005 (re alarms)
• Unique X-prole detection chamber with integrated insect
screen.
• Software that maximises detection and reduces false alarms.
• Switches on automatically when clicked into place on
the radio base.
• Red LED ashes approximately every minute conrming that the
unit is powered and ready to detect a re. (Standby mode)
• If the battery is low or the re alarm has reached the end of its
service life, a beep will be emitted every minute. It is possible
to silence the alarm for ten hours by pressing the test button.
The re alarm does not need to be removed from the mounting
plate. It can be replaced at your convenience the following
day/days.
• Extra large test button for easy and complete function control.
• Reacts quickly with a strong signal (85dB at 3 metres) that
automatically resets when smoke has left the detection
chamber.
• Pause function– Silence your alarm briey, ideal for
non-emergency situations when unwanted alarms occur,
such as from steam or cigarette smoke. The red LED ashes
every 12 seconds to remind you that it has been paused and
automatically resets to active mode within 10 minutes.
2. Placement
Optical re alarms are considered to be most eective in detecting
smouldering res. Fires that can smoulder for several hours before
developing into open ame res. Examples of this type of re
could be a cigarette lying on a piece of furniture and smouldering,
or an electric cable that is overheated and eventually catches re.
Fire alarms must not be installed in kitchens or bathrooms, as
the risk of unwanted alarms increases, but preferably in a room
next to the kitchen, hall or living room.

Recommended placement of smoke
and heat detectors:
2.1. Where to avoid placement
1. Do not place the re alarm close to fans, as exhaust or supply
air devices can blow or suck smoke away from the alarm.
2. Do not install in or near areas with high humidity, e.g. showers,
bathrooms or kitchens where humidity exceeds 85% or where
room temperature exceeds 45° or falls below 0°, as this may
cause false alarms and/or damage the device.
3. Do not install at the top of a vaulted or sloping ceiling.
Stationary air can prevent smoke from reaching the device.
4. Do not install less than 50cm from walls and mounted light
ttings where rising heat or stationary air can prevent smoke
from reaching the alarm.
5. Do not install in areas with high insect activity.
6. Do not install in areas with high concentrations of cigarette
smoke that may cause false alarms and over time the device
may become contaminated.

7. Do not install re alarms in kitchens, boiler rooms and garages
where smoke and dust can cause false alarms.
8. Do not install on poorly insulated walls and ceilings where
cold air boundary layers can prevent smoke from reaching
the re alarm.
9. Do not install near objects that can prevent smoke from
reaching the alarm e.g. high bookshelves.
10. Do not install closer than 150cm from uorescent tubes
that can trigger interfering false alarms when they are
switched on and o.
11. Do not cover or paint the alarm.
2.2. Additional placement information
1. At least one re alarm must be installed along escape routes
from all oors of the building.
2. The detection chamber of a smoke detector must be tted
between 2.5cm and 30cm below the ceiling.
3. Fire alarms must be installed at least 50cm from walls
or light ttings.
4. If ceiling mounting is impractical, re alarms may be installed
on walls provided that the area is no longer or wider than 10m
and the total area does not exceed 50 m2 and that:
• The smoke chamber is between 15–30cm below the ceiling.
• The bottom of the re alarm is above ventilation openings,
doors and openable windows.
• They are not mounted near or over heating systems or air
conditioning exhausts.
5. If re alarms are located in a hallway, corridor or entrance,
the devices must not be more than three metres from any
bedroom door to improve audibility through closed doors.
6. In large areas, a re alarm should be no longer than 7.5 metres
away from any point in the ceiling of any room, hall or corridor.
7. In order to provide as early a warning as possible, re
alarms should be installed in all rooms of your home and
interconnected where possible. (Except for the areas indicated
in section 2 under the heading “Where to avid placement”
as above).

6
3. Assembly/Installation
Do not store devices at temperatures below 0°C and above 45°C
as this may cause unwanted alarms and disturbances after initial
installation. However, these will stop after a short time when
the device has become acclimatised to the new temperature.
Prolonged periods under these conditions will reduce the lifetime
of the device and may void the warranty.
Separate the device from the mounting plate. The re alarm
is supplied switched o with the radio base not attached.
If the device has been activated before installation, press
the small locking wedge located on the side and turn the alarm
counter-clockwise while holding the radio base. Then remove
the realarm.
Decide where to install the device. See previous section. Always
ensure that surfaces do not contain hazardous materials, e.g.
asbestos, water or electrical wires before drilling. The enclosed
screws are suitable for use in wood, and screws and plugs are
used for plasterboard and concrete. For some installations, the
installer may need to use another solution such as double-sided
tape or adhesive to avoid drilling. If mounting adhesive is used,
consider the drying time before actually tting the re alarm.
If you use double-sided tape or adhesive, make sure that the
surfaces are clean, dry, at and have good adhesion. Always take
appropriate safety precautions when attaching the mounting plate
to the ceiling. Wear protective equipment, e.g. protective goggles
and a face mask when drilling.
3.1. Installing a device
N.B. If you want to use multiple devices connected
via Wi-Fi, see section 3.2.
1. Fix the base unit to the ceiling using your preferred solution.
2. Activate the radio card in the base unit: press and hold the
push button on the radio card, see Fig. 1 A. Turn on the radio
card with the power switch, see Fig. 1 B. The push button (1A)
now ashes quickly. Release the button. Press the button again.
The button will light up for a while and then go out. Theradio
card is now activated as a single unit. Connect the cable.

3. Align the arrow on the back of the re alarm with the
arrow inside the mounting plate, when the re alarm is
aligned correctly on the mounting plate, turn clockwise
untilthelocking wedge clicks into place. The built-in battery
will now automatically activate and the re alarm will start
up with an internal silent test.
4. Activate the radio learning mode in the personal alarm
unit/system
5. Press the test button once to send a radio message that
can be used to pair the smoke detector with the personal
alarmphone.
6. Conrm the setting on the receiver unit.
7. Congure the desired alarm type on the receiving unit.
8. Test the entire alarm chain by pressing the test button three
times within two minutes to send an alarm and wait for
the operator to respond to the alarm. See Fig 2. Remember

3.2. Installation of serial-connected devices
The radio card is used to connect our various devices for smoke,
heat and carbon monoxide to each other, max. 8. The radio
card has a built-in non-replaceable lithium battery for 10 years
of operation.
The radio cards must be connected with each other in order to
be able to communicate, which takes place either automatically
the rst time they are turned on or via a manual procedure.
The link creates a group in which the one entered as the master
is designated number 1 and the others are designated from
2upwards.
Radio communication can be tested manually to ensure that all
devices are in contact with each other. Automatic testing of radio
communication takes place once a week.
In the event of an alarm from one of the connected alarms,
theconnected radio card will transmit this to other connected
devices so that their connected warning system also emits an alarm.
3.2.1. Automatic pairing
The rst time a non-connected radio device is started via the
switch on the radio card, automatic pairing is activated. In order
for interconnection to work, one device must initiate
interconnection and others must be ready to pair. The radio
card's output is reduced during pairing, so the devices need
to be close together (max. 2metres).
Hold down the push button on the device that is to initiate pairing,
see Fig. 1 A, and start it via the switch, see Fig. 1 B, on the radio card.
Release the push button (1 A). It will ash rapidly and wait for other
devices for 60 seconds. The devices to be connected are activated
by simply turning on the switch (1 B) on their radio card.
Pairing will automatically end 60 seconds after the last paired device
is connected or if the main device push button (1A) is pressed once.
N.B. The connected devices must not be switched o or moved
away until the master device is ready and its push button has gone
out. All devices must be paired with the personal alarm phone
in accordance with section 3.1, points 3–8. See section 7 for testing
the entire chain.

9
3.2.2. Manual pairing
Manual pairing of devices is done in installer mode. See section 4
Installer settings.
All devices must be paired with the personal alarm phone in
accordance with section 3.1, points 3–8. See section 7 for testing
the entire chain.
4. Installer settings
By pressing and holding (5 seconds) the radio card button. The LED
should then light up continuously and then continue as required
using the short button presses according to the table below. If
no further buttons are pressed, the radio card returns to normal
mode after 8 seconds. The radio card's output is reduced during
pairing, so the devices need to be close together (max. 2 metres).

Interconnection can take place by starting the radio card with
the switch and stepping to the “Start pairing” position via the push
button according to the table.
Start other radio cards you want to add by stepping to
the“Add device” function via the push button. Pairing is
terminated automatically after 60 seconds or if the radio
button on the master device is pressed once.

10
N.B. The connected devices must not be switched o or moved
away until the master device is ready and its push button
has gone out.
It is not possible to add a device that is already paired. It must rst
be reset via “Delete device”. To remove a device from the group,
use the “Delete device” function.
If a device does not work or if you have deleted a device,
re-sort the group using “Re-sort group”. For example, if you have
4 units; 1, 2, 3 and 4 and you delete device 2, the other devices will
continue to try to contact device 2, which is not possible, so you
should sort the group from 1, 3 and 4 into a group of 1, 2 and 3.
4.1. Adding device to existing group
You can add one or more devices to an existing group by activating
one of them as “Start pairing” and then activating the others to be
linked again via “Add device”.
If a new, non-previously connected device is to be added,
it is sucient to start it via the switch.
If it is a previously connected unit, after “Delete device”,
activate it as “Add device”.

5. Description of push button/LED radio
In normal operating mode (no alarm) (See Fig. 1 A)
• Briey press the button once to display the device number
of the radio card.
• The button ashes with x ashes for the device number.
• Briey press the button twice to start a test sequence for radio
communication.
• When the test is in progress, the LED ashes rapidly. If the
device gives a click when the test is complete, it indicates that
one or more devices in the linked group are not communicating.
• The LED ashes the same number of times for each missing
device number.
• Example “2 ashes– pause– 4 ashes”, to show that devices
2 and 4 are missing.
• The sequence is only shown once. To see it again, restart
the test.
5.1. LED indicators on the radio card
The LED can indicate the following error modes without rst
pressing the button.
One ash every minute Low battery in this radio card
Two ashes every minute Low battery in other radio card
Three ashes per minute Cannot contact other radio card
Four ashes every minute Fault in any connected detector
If a device has lost communication (indicated by 3 ashes as
above), the result of the system test done once a week and
automatically reset the following week shows if the communication
then works. A communication test can be performed manually
with 2 short presses on the radio card button for a new test, which
will reset the error code if the communication is working.

12
6. Alarms from serial-connected device
If there is an alarm from one device, the others will rst emit
a pre-alarm. The pre-alarm consists of three beeps and then
the number of clicks for the unit device of the alarm activated.
(Example: beep beep, click, click, “Device no. 2 has activated”).
The device will emit a warning sound as for a normal alarm and
the entire sequence will be repeated.
If the alarm is to be regarded as a false alarm, silence the device
by pressing the device test button/Silence button once. This will
silence the linked alarm and other paired devices will go silent.
A secondary alarm (the one that did not initiate the alarm) cannot
be silenced by pressing the device test button, but can only be
silenced locally by pressing once on the radio card push button.
If you press on an alarm that has not triggered a warning, a normal
test of the device takes place.
7. Alarm test
Testing of alarms can be done either separately for each re alarm,
testing the entire alarm chain for individual devices and testing the
entire alarm chain for serial-connected devices. Testing of alarms
and the alarm chain needs to be carried out every six months, so
warn anyone who might be aected in advance.
7.1.1. Smoke detector test
Warning, wear ear protection!! (85dB at 3m)
Press and release the test button, (see Fig. 2) to test the function.
The re alarm should sound three times with a ashing red light
and then stop. After the test, check that the red light ashes
approximately every minute. N.B. Pressing the test button only
tests the actual re alarm, not radio functions.
WARNING: The test button provides a complete test of
the actual re alarm. Do not attempt to test the alarm
using either heat, smoke or an open ame, as this may
damage the unit or the surrounding environment.

13
7.1.2. Test of alarm chain for individual
smoke detectors
Test the entire alarm chain by pressing the test button (see Fig. 2)
three times within two minutes to send an alarm, wait for
the operator to respond to the alarm.
7.1.3. Test of alarm chain for multiple
smoke detectors
Testing of the alarm chain from one alarm to one or more others
can be done by pressing 5 times on the smoke detector's test
button (see Fig. 2). Between each press, wait until the beep sounds
3 times and all presses are done within 2 minutes. This initiates an
alarm as described under section 6 “Alarms from serial-connected
device”, wait for the operator to respond to the alarm.
8. User information
Protect your home from re and visit the emergency services
website to nd help in designing your re protection. Their
information is free and identies potential re hazards in and
around your home. Also make sure that everyone in the building
knows what a re alarm sounds like!

8.2. What to do if the alarm sounds
• Make sure everyone leaves the building as soon as possible.
• Check that nobody is left behind!
• Do not run, and leave personal belongings behind.
• If safe to do so, close all windows and doors when evacuating
the premises/area to prevent re from spreading.
• Call the emergency services if necessary.
• Smoke is the main cause of death from re, so if you are
trapped inside a building, cover your mouth, hold your breath
and crawl close to the oor until you reach safety. Do not stand
up more than necessary!
• If possible, try to limit/extinguish the re.
• Do not reset a re alarm until you know the cause of the alarm
and when all personnel are safe!
8.2.1. Preventive measures.
• Draw up an evacuation plan with an assembly point away from
the building/property.
• Practice how to act in a live situation.
• If there is reghting equipment, where is it and who can use it?
• Who does what? Is it possible to allocate dierent areas of
responsibility? Upper oors, lower oors, etc.
• Do not leave candles unattended, and handle recently burnt
ashes with great care.
• Regularly carry out a health check of electrical appliances and
installations.
• Keep matches/lighters out of reach of children.
• Do not store ammable or explosive liquids near heat sources.
• Be careful with ammable textiles/curtains near windows/tables
with candles.
• It is a good idea to supplement your re protection with a re
blanket or extinguisher.

15
9. Maintenance manual
A regular re alarm maintenance program will help keep your
alarm in good working order.
• Vacuum the alarm every six months and wipe with a damp
cloth to prevent the sensors from clogging.
• Do not paint the alarm.
• Cover the re detector when performing dusty work, such as
sanding oors or walls.
• A re alarm is a sensitive life-saving device. The lifetime of the
alarm can be signicantly reduced by not regularly cleaning and
maintaining it according to the instructions. Lack of reasonable
care may also cause malfunction and may void the warranty.
10. General information
The internal battery lasts for 10 years and cannot be replaced.
At the end of its operating period, the device beeps once per
minute for at least one month to indicate that it is time to replace
the re alarm. The life of the battery can be signicantly reduced
by incorrect storage and/or use, e.g. at temperatures below 0°C
or above 45°C. The service life can also be shortened by repeated
or prolonged periods in full alarm, often caused by the presence
of cigarette smoke, steam, aerosol spray or condensation. In
such circumstances, the warranty does not apply. If a low battery
warning occurs at night, press the test button to pause the battery
warning for 10 hours. Replace the alarm as soon as possible,
preferably within the next few days if possible.
Check that the alarm has been installed according to the
instructions. In the event of repeated false alarms, check that the
unit is free from dust, spider webs and is not aected by external
contamination from e.g. cigarette smoke or spray from household
aerosols and steam, as this will in the long term shorten the
service life of the re alarm. If this does not solve the problem,
DO NOT attempt to repair the device yourself. There are no easy
to service parts inside the device.
