And save it for future reference.SPECIFICATIONSPower: built-in DC 3V(CR123A) Lithium battery (battery not replaceable)Alarm Volume: >85dB (A) at 3 metersAlarm Sensitivity: 0.10-0.16dB /mSILENCE TIME: approx. 8 minutesComply With: EN14604:2005/AC: 2008Sound Pattern: ISO8201 (BI 0.5s - pause 0.5s - BI 0.5s - pause 0.5s - BI 0.5s - pause 1.5s, with the RED LED flash, repeated this alarm pattern)DESCRIPTIONThe unit is a photoelectric smoke alarm device. It is particularly sensitive for detecting visible micro-particles (associated with smoldering fires) and reacts faster than ionization alarms. An example of such smoldering fires is a cigarette burning in a couch or bedding, a common cause of devastating blazes. Please note this device does not detect flames, heat, carbon monoxide or other hazardous gases. It has many advanced features and an extended operational life with the included battery.RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS1. The locations must comply with the applicable building regulations. BS 5839-6:2013 gives guidance on the number, types and positioning of alarms. In general, smoke alarms should be installed in every circulation space such as Hallways, Landings, Bedrooms and principal living spaces (living room). Larger spaces may require the use of more than one unit.2. Installed on each and every storey.3. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the preferred location. The air is “dead” and does not move into corners, therefore smoke must be mounted away from corners. Position the unit at least 30 cm away from walls and corners and 30 cm away from any light fitting or decorative object witch may obstruct smoke entering the Alarm. (see the diagram 1).4. When the ceiling is slanting, the alarm needs to be installed minimum 50cm away from the highest ceiling point in the room (see the diagram 2).CAUTION: Our smoke alarm is also suitable for use in leisure accommodation vehicles (LAVs).12o40C. (due to nuisance/false alarm activation).5. In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas where particles may interfere/obstruct with Alarm operation.6. Away from air conditioning or ventilation grilles/ louvres. ACTIVATIONPress test button and hold it for above 3 seconds until LED lights, and release it within 2 seconds, the unit will generate a “beep” indicates that it is activated and goes into work status.INSTALLATIONWARNING: To prevent injury, this unit must be securely attached to the ceiling in accordance with the installation instructions.Model: TSS380A-HLOCATIONS TO AVOID1. Don't place Alarms in bathrooms, Kitchens, Garages or other rooms where the Alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation and normal smoke/heat from appliances.2. In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines, install at least 6 metres away from these areas.3. Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents, install at least 1m away from these areas. The air could blow smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.o4. In rooms where temperature may fall below 0 C or rise aboveOPERATION AND TESTINGTestingTest by pushing the test button on the cover. This will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, alarm, and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has defective batteries or other failures.DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.NOTE: Weekly Testing Is RequiredNormal ConditionThe red LED should flash every 48 seconds to show that the alarm is active.Alarm ConditionWhen the Alarm senses products of combustion and sounds the audible alarm, the red LED will flash one flash/second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared.Low Power Pack ConditionIMPORTANT: Your smoke alarm requires the power pack to have sufficient capacity of power to operate correctly.Should your smoke alarm enter a low power pack condition the unit will emit an audible chirp once every 48 seconds with light flash once. When this occurs you must replace the alarm immediately. Your smoke alarm will continue to warn of this low power pack condition for at least 30 days, however, failure to change the alarm after this time would mean your smoke alarm may have insufficient power to alert you in a real fire situation.Installation Sketch Map
