Battery Powered Photoelectric 
Smoke Alarm User Manual
1 2
This  product  is  a  battery  operated  photoelectric  smoke  alarm, 
adopting  unique  structure  design  and  advanced  photoelectric 
sensor technology, able to monitor and detect smoke particles in 
real  time.  Especially  detects  visible  particles  (associated  with 
smouldering  fire)  sooner  than  ionization  alarms.  Once  smoke 
particles or a fire danger is detected, this alarm will chirp and the 
red  LED  will  flash  rapidly  to  alert  you  and  your  family  timely. 
Furthermore, this alarm has dustproof, mothproof and anti-light 
interference  etc.  functions,  ensuring  stability  from  design  basis 
and  suitable for early warning and protection of fires in houses, 
factories,  shopping  malls,  hotels,  office  buildings,  school 
buildings, banks, libraries and warehouses etc. indoor places.

Executive  criteria:  EN14604:2005; GB4715-2005;  Ul217
Detecting  area:  80m  at  6-12m  installation  height;   
                            60m  at  installation  height  <6m.  
INSTALLATION
1.Avoid installations in places  with  stagnating  smoke,  heavy 
dust, heavy water mist, heavy oil mist, great humidity (>95%) 
and high wind speed (>5m/s).
2. Insert  the  battery  correctly  into  the  battery  compartment 
according to the  marked positive and negative polarity. 
3. Choose a proper position. Normally the center of the detection 
area ceiling is recommended. If impractical, do not install the 
detector in  area without  air flow  (as Figure  1). For  roof with 
oblique beam,  the ceiling  is also  oblique where  the detector 
should be installed at a position with 0.9m horizontal distance 
to  spire  (as  Figure  2).  Fix  the  detector  base  into  a    chosen 
position  with  screws.  Then  put  the  detector  head  into  the 
base  and  twist  clockwise  to  fasten  it  (as  Figure  3).    At  last, 
plug in the tamper resist locking pin (as Figure 4).

1. Battery is equipped on delivery. Unpack the battery insulation 
cement to active the battery before using.
2.  After  activating  the  battery,  the  smoke  alarm  enters  into 
normal monitoring status. The LED blinks once every 40s.
3. Sensitivity Test
    To  ensure  normal  operation,  periodic  tests  should  be 
performed. Once a month is recommended. For testing, press 
and hold the Test Button more than 3s to enter into sensitivity 
test status.  The alarm  indicator will  flash rapidly  and   buzzer 
will  give  out  alarm  sound,  which  indicates  the  smoke  alarm 
works  properly.  During  testing,  keep  ears  away  from  the 
smoke alarm to avoid hearing damage.
