2.5 Grundsätzliche
Sicherheitshinweise
Die grundsätzlichen Sicherheitshinweise
fassen alle Maßnahmen zur Sicherheit the-

Allgemein
Rauchwarnmelder warnen frühzeitig vor
Brandrauch bzw. Bränden, damit die Be-
wohner von Haus und Wohnung rechtzei-
tig reagieren, insbesondere die brandbe-
aufschlagten Räume sofort verlassen und
die Feuerwehr alarmieren können.
Rauchwarnmelder verhindern weder die
Entstehung von Bränden noch bekämp-
fen sie diese selbsttätig. Rauchwarnmel-
der alarmieren weder unmittelbar die
Feuerwehr oder eine hilfeleistende Stel-
le. Rauchwarnmelder dienen nicht der
Verhinderung von Brandschäden, insbe-
sondere nicht, wenn bei Brandausbruch
niemand anwesend ist. Die Rauchwarn-
melder unterliegen bei der Herstellung
strengen Qualitätskontrollen.
Zusätzlich wird vor der Auslieferung eine
Funktionsprüfung durchgeführt. Dennoch
ist es möglich, dass unerwartete Funkti-
onsstörungen auftreten können.

5.1 Adhesive mounting
The magnet carrier can be mounted using
adhesive assembly as follows:

18 I 32
Operating Manual: PX-1 - Smoke Alarm Device 45
•Easy to maintain and removable ac-
cording to EN 14604:2005/AC:2008
•or maintenance-unfriendly but

EN 14604:2005/AC:2008
and vfdb 14/01 (Q)
Adhesive mounting according to
EN 14604:2005/AC:2008
When performing this type of installation,
proceed as follows:
(1) Remove magnet carrier from the
device. (Remove the splint from the
activation button only after that)
fTo do this, tilt the magnet carrier.
(2) Remove the protective �lm from the
adhesive pad on the magnet carrier.
(3) Press �rmly magnet carrier for about
10 seconds at the mounting position.
(4) Take the device into operation.
fObserve chapter 6 “Putting into
operation“ on page 48.
(5) Position the device on the magnet
ca r r ie r.
5The device is mounted on the
magnet carrier.
The ultimate strength of the adhe-
sive bond is achieved after about
72 hours.
Adhesive mounting according to
EN 14604:2005/AC:2008
and vfdb 14/01 (Q)
To establish a permanent connection
between the device and magnet carrier
(e.g., as theft protection), you can addition-
ally mount the device with the supplied
adhesive �lm on the magnet carrier.
46 Operating Manual: PX-1 - Smoke Alarm Device
CAUTION
Possible property damage!
The mounting of the device according
to vfdb 14/01 (Q) establishes a
permanent connection between the
magnet carrier and the device.Thus,
a subsequent removal of the device
is prevented. It is dif�cult to carry out
maintenance. If the device is disassem-
bled, it can cause damage to the device
and the mounting surface.
fUse the additional adhesive �lm
only to prevent theft.
fPut the device in operation
before attaching the additional
adhesive �lm.
When performing this type of installation,
proceed as follows:
(1) Mount magnet carrier.
(2) Take the device into operation.
fObserve chapter 6 “Putting into
operation“ on page 48.
(3) Attach additional adhesive �lm to
the magnet carrier sheet plate on
the device.
fRemove the protective �lm from
one side of the adhesive �lm.
fPlace the adhesive sheet on the
magnet carrier sheet plate on the
device and press it on.
fRemove the protective �lm on the
other side.
(4) Place the device on the magnet
carrier and press it on.
5The device is mounted on the
magnet carrier.
5.2 Drilling installation
As an alternative to adhesive mounting,
Operating Manual: PX-1 - Smoke Alarm Device 47
(1) Remove magnet carrier from the
device.
fTo do this, tilt the magnet carrier.
(2) Drill a hole on the mounting posi-
tion in the mounting surface.
(3) Insert the dowel into the drill hole.
(4) Tighten the screw in the magnet
car rier.
(5) Position the magnet carrier above
the dowel.
CAUTION
Possible property damage!
Over-tightening the screw may
deform the magnet carrier.
fTighten the screw only so deep
that the magnet carrier is not
deformed or bulged.
(6) To ensure a safe hold of the device,
tighten the screw deep into the

EN 14604:2005/AC:2008
When performing this type of installation,
proceed as follows:
(1) Remove magnet carrier from the
device. (Remove the splint from the
activation button only after that)
fTo do this, tilt the magnet carrier.
(2) Remove the protective �lm from the
adhesive pad on the magnet carrier.
(3) Press �rmly magnet carrier for about
10 seconds at the mounting position.
(4) Take the device into operation.
fObserve chapter 6 “Putting into

To establish a permanent connection
between the device and magnet carrier
(e.g., as theft protection), you can addition-
ally mount the device with the supplied
adhesive �lm on the magnet carrier.

CAUTION
Possible property damage!
The mounting of the device according
to vfdb 14/01 (Q) establishes a
permanent connection between the
magnet carrier and the device.Thus,
a subsequent removal of the device
is prevented. It is dif�cult to carry out
maintenance. If the device is disassem-
bled, it can cause damage to the device
and the mounting surface.
fUse the additional adhesive �lm
only to prevent theft.
fPut the device in operation
before attaching the additional
adhesive �lm.
When performing this type of installation,
proceed as follows:
(1) Mount magnet carrier.
(2) Take the device into operation.
fObserve chapter 6 “Putting into
operation“ on page 48.
(3) Attach additional adhesive �lm to
the magnet carrier sheet plate on
the device.
fRemove the protective �lm from
one side of the adhesive �lm.
fPlace the adhesive sheet on the
magnet carrier sheet plate on the
device and press it on.
fRemove the protective �lm on the
other side.
(4) Place the device on the magnet
carrier and press it on.
5The device is mounted on the
magnet carrier.

(1) Remove magnet carrier from the
device.
fTo do this, tilt the magnet carrier.
(2) Drill a hole on the mounting posi-
tion in the mounting surface.
(3) Insert the dowel into the drill hole.
(4) Tighten the screw in the magnet

(5) Position the magnet carrier above
the dowel.
CAUTION
Possible property damage!
Over-tightening the screw may
deform the magnet carrier.
fTighten the screw only so deep
that the magnet carrier is not
deformed or bulged.
