Activate and test
Before using the smoke alarm, it is important to activate and test the product. Place the smoke
alarm on the mounting plate and turn it clockwise. Then press the test button. If the device is
functioning correctly, it will emit a beep and light signal. If this is not the case, do not use the unit
and contact the supplier.
Note: The test signal volume is lower than the alarm signal volume. To hear the volume of the
alarm signal, press and hold the test button for approx. 15 seconds. A few seconds after the test
signal, you will hear the alarm signal of > 85 dB (A).
Choose location
Choose a room
We recommend to install smoke alarms in the following areas:
•At least 1 smoke alarm on every floor.
•In rooms that are part of an escape route (hall, landing).
•In bedrooms (especially in children's rooms).
•In rooms with electrical appliances (especially washing
machines or dryers).
•In remote rooms that are used often but where the alarm
signal of other devices might not be heard.
•A smoke alarm can monitor an area of up to 60 m2. Place
an additional smoke alarm if the surface area of a room is
larger than 60 m2.

Caution: Do not install smoke alarms in areas where
humidity is high or where false alarms may occur due
to, for example, cooking fumes or exhaust fumes.
Choose for heat alarms instead of smoke alarms in
bathrooms, kitchens and garages. These alarms react
to temperature rises and not to smoke. Visit
www.elro.eu for the range of heat alarms.
Ceiling or wall mounting
Place the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the middle of
the room. If ceiling mounting is not possible, attach it
to the wall. Make sure that there is a clear space
around all the device so that it is not obstructed.
Do not install a smoke detector:
•In draughty locations.
•Near air conditioners/ventilation systems.
•Directly above a heater.
•Less than 50 cm. away from furniture
•(such as tall cabinets) that may block air
circulation.
Sloping ceilings
If you have a sloping, pitched
or cathedral ceiling, place the
smoke alarm at a minimum of
0,5 m. and a maximum of 1 m.
from the highest point.
For more tips on how to install your smoke alarm, for example in rooms with ceiling beams, go
to www.elro.eu.

1. Use the mounting plate as a guide where the holes should be drilled.
2. Drill 2 holes with a diameter of 5 millimetres.
3. Push the plugs into the holes.
4. Screw the bracket into the wall or ceiling with the screws.

Standby mode and night mode
If the detector is activated correctly, it switches to standby mode. This detector is equipped with a
night mode. This means that the standby light signal is automatically turned off in dark rooms, until
enough light is detected again.
Alarm
If the smoke alarm detects smoke, it will generate a loud alarm of >85 dB (A). This device is
equipped with a silence function to silence the alarm signal for approximately 10 minutes. If the
device gives alarm, press the test/silence button to activate this feature. If the device still detects
smoke after 10 minutes, it will start alarming again.
CAUTION: Do not take any risks and use the alarm silence function only if you are 100% sure that
the situation is safe. In case of doubt, leave the premises and only return when the situation is
safe.

Low battery warning
This smoke alarm is equipped with a non-replaceable battery with a service life of approx. 10
years. When the batteries are low, the device switches to low-battery mode. Replace the smoke
alarm as soon as possible, but in any case within 30 days of the occurrence of this warning. You can
temporarily mute the low battery warning by pressing the test/silence button. After approximately
10 hours the warning will resume.
Maintenance
•This smoke alarm is equipped with a self-test mechanism. At least once a week at a random
moment, the device automatically checks the functionality of the sensor and the siren. During
a successful test, the detector will beep and blink briefly. If problems are detected, the
detector switches to error mode. Replace the device immediately if the error message occurs!
•We recommend testing the device manually at least once a year by pressing and holding the
test button for 3 seconds. Tip: Put a reminder in your calendar to prevent you from
forgetting the annual test.
•Dust is a major cause of false alarms. Therefore, clean the smoke alarm once a month. Use a
vacuum cleaner to gently clean the sides of the smoke alarm from accumulated dust. Never
use a wet cloth or detergent to clean your device. This may damage the sensor.
