•
In insect infested areas. Insects can
clog openings to the sensing chamber,
preventing smoke entry or causing
unwanted alarms.
• Within 30cm (12”) of a uorescent light
tting which emits electrical ‘noise’ that
can prevent correct alarm operation.
• In wall positions that are more than 30cm
(12”) away from the ceiling (see ‘How to
install your smoke alarm’).
• In ‘dead air’ spaces (see following
diagram).
• Within 30cm (12”) of light ttings or other
ceiling based obstructions.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to
temperatures outside those stated above
will reduce product life.
IMPORTANT: Obstructions such as steel
reinforcement in concrete could block
or impede the wireless signal. While the
wireless range is over 200 metres in
clear air / clear line of sight, the effective
range may be reduced by wall and other
obstructions in the building. Always
ensure that after any building work or after
repositioning large items of furniture (beds,
sofas, shelving units etc.), you carry out an
alarm test on all networked smoke alarms
to ensure they are all still working. It is
recommended not to exceed 35m as the
maximum distance between smoke alarms
in the network.
POSITIONING
Thermoptek smoke alarms are less prone
to false alarms from cooking fumes, and
are therefore suitable for locations near
kitchens. However like other types of smoke
alarms, Thermoptek smoke alarms can be
susceptible to nuisance alarms from steam
and should not be located too close to
bathrooms and showers.
It is recommended that your FireAngel
smoke alarm is NOT to be tted in the
following locations:
• Bathrooms, shower-rooms, and other very
damp or humid areas, where the moisture
can cause unwanted alarms.
• Kitchens. Kitchen areas should be
protected with self-contained Heat
Alarms, as the combustion particles from
cooking in kitchens will result in unwanted
alarms and permanent contamination of
the smoke alarm’s sensor.
• In areas where excessive dust or dirt could
contaminate the sensing chamber, making
it over sensitive or impairing smoke entry.
• In areas where the ambient temperature
is not controlled and may regularly drift
below 4°C (40°F) or above 38°C (100°F)
e.g. unheated buildings, open attic
spaces.
• Very dirty, dusty or greasy areas.
• In very draughty areas, such as close to
ceiling fans or fresh air vents. Draughts
can blow smoke away from the alarm.
Multi-family or mixed occupant residence
(Tenancy building, student accommodation)
Your FireAngel smoke alarm can also
be used in individual ats and bedsits,
providing the same conditions are met as for
a single-family residence. However, there
must already be a primary re detection
system that meets regulatory requirements
for common areas such as lobbies and
hallways.
Institutions and Hotels
This includes motels, hospitals, day care
facilities, long-term health care facilities,
boarding houses and dormitories. Your
WST-630-NEU smoke alarm can be used
in individual sleeping/resident rooms,
providing the same conditions are met as
for a single-family residence. However, there
must already be a primary re detection
system that meets regulatory requirements
for common areas such as lobbies and
hallways. Use of the WST-630-NEU smoke
alarm in common areas may not provide
sufcient re warning to residents or meet
regulatory requirements.
Mobile Homes and Caravans
This smoke alarm is suitable for use in
mobile homes and caravans.
Commercial and Industrial Premises
This smoke alarm is not intended for any
non-residential, commercial or industrial
application, nor for any other purpose than
described above.
