2. Im ortant Safety Information
Observe a d follow all local a d atio al electrical a d buildi g codes for i stallatio .
This smoke detector is desig ed to be used i side a si gle room o ly. I multi-room buildi gs, each
i dividual room should have its ow smoke detector. This smoke detector is ot a substitute for a
complete fire alarm system.
Smoke may ot reach the smoke detector for ma y reaso s. For example, if a fire starts i a remote
part of a buildi g or home, o a other level, wall, roof, or o the other side of a closed door, smoke
may ot reach the smoke detector i time to alert perso el. I other words the smoke detector will
ot promptly detect a fire except i the area or room i which it is i stalled.
The smoke detectors ca o ly sou d their alarms whe they detect smoke. The smoke detectors
detect combustio particles i the air. They do ot se se heat, flame or gas. This smoke detector is
desig ed to give a audible war i g of a developi g fire. However, ma y fires are fast-bur i g,
explosive, or i te tio al. Others are caused by careless ess or safety hazards. So always keep i mi d
that smoke may ot reach the smoke detector alarm QUCKLY ENOUGH.
The smoke detectors have limitatio s. This smoke detector is ot foolproof a d is ot warra ted to
protect lives or property from fire. Smoke alarms are ot a substitute for i sura ce. Busi ess ow ers
are respo sible for i suri g their ow lives a d property. I additio it is possible for the smoke alarm
to fail at a y time. For this reaso , you must test the smoke detectors weekly a d replace them every
10 years.

3. Smoke Detector Placement
It is recomme ded that you i stall o e detector i each room a d i separate hallways. If the hallway
is over 12 meters lo g, i stall a detector at each e d. They should be located at the top levels of first-
to-seco d floor stairwells.
I stall the smoke detectors as close to the ce ter of the ceili g as possible. If this is ot possible,
mou t o closer tha 4 i ches from a wall or cor er.
DO NOT install the smoke detectors:
oNear applia ces or areas where ormal combustio regularly occurs (cooki g areas,
fur aces, hot water heaters, floresce t lighti g etc.).
oNear air retur s or heati g a d cooli g supply ve ts. I stall at least 3 feet away from these
areas. The air could blow the smoke away from the detector, i terrupti g the alert.
oI rooms where temperatures may fall below 5 degrees C or rise above 45 degrees C.
oI extremely dusty, dirty, or i sect-i fested areas where loose particles i terfere with the
smoke detectors alarm operatio
IMPORTANT!
Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from country to country. Check with your local
Fire Department for current requirements in your area.
4. Installing the Smoke Detector

8. Additional Information on the Smoke Detectors
8.1. Test Button & Testing
As oted earlier do keep i mi d that whe testi g the Smoke Detectors usi g real or ca ed smoke
do ot press the "Test/Hush" butto at least 10 mi utes prior to this testi g or the detector will ot
be able to detect the smoke.
8.2. Connecting via dry contact in uts
You ca co ect the RMS-DE-01 to the i puts o dry co tacts expa der “RAMOS ULTRA-EX-D8-8”
which is co ected to RAMOS Ultra base u its. The gree "phoe ix" type two pi dry co tact
co ector that is mou ted o the Smoke Detectors co verter box is used for this purpose.
However you do have to keep i mi d that whe the se sors are co ected to the extra dry co tacts
a d ot the RJ-45 se sors ports, if the 9Volt battery that powers the smoke detector ru s out, the
you will ot get the alerts from the u it. The reaso for this is whe co ected to the RJ-45 ports, the
Smoke Detectors are powered by the u it a d whe co ected to the dry co tact i puts they are ot
a d o ly powered by the 9V battery.
8.3. Cleaning and Problems with Smoke Detectors
As also me tio ed earlier these se sors are ot desig ed to be used i dusty or dirty e viro me ts. If
they must be, the they will eed to be clea ed regularly.
The picture above clearly shows the dust build up i side the detectors optical chamber. You ca see
the clear black plastic where we have wiped the dust off compared to the dusty surface.

This picture above also shows the dust i side the cover of the Smoke Detector.
You ca ope the Smoke Se sors up a d clea them usi g some compressed air, you ca blow the
dust out of the optical chamber. You just eed to ope the optical chamber so the dust particles ca
be flushed out properly. If you do 't have a compressor or ca ed compressed air, you ca use a li t
free cloth or tissue paper. Just make sure there are o fibers left behi d.
This picture above shows the optical chamber of the Smoke Detector after clea i g
