fire occurs, but its operation depends on correct positioning and maintenance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
»The smoke alarm is battery-powered. The smoke alarm will not work without batteries, or if the
batteries are dead, removed or not correctly connected. Only use the specified type of battery. DO
NOT connect the smoke alarm to any type of detector or equipment other than what is stated in this
manual.
»The test button provides a full test of all the smoke alarm’s functions. No other test methods are requi-
red. Test smoke alarms every week to check that they are working properly.
»Do not remove or disconnect the batteries to stop false alarms, as this will cause the smoke alarm to
lose important functionality. Open a window or ventilate the air around the smoke alarm to stop the
alarm and/or press the pause button.
»The smoke alarm must be installed in line with all local and national rules and regulations on installa-
tion.
»The smoke alarm is intended for use in houses. In apartment blocks, each apartment should be fitted
with its own smoke alarm. This smoke alarm is not suitable for use in non-residential buildings. The
smoke alarm is not a replacement for a complete alarm system as required under law or by the fire
safety authorities.
»There may be reasons why a person in a household might not hear the alarm (e.g. noise, deep sleep,
impaired hearing). If you suspect that a person in the household will not hear the smoke alarm, specia-
list alarms should be installed. If a person in the household has impaired hearing, special alarms should
be installed to alert the person via sound, light and vibrations.
»The smoke alarm detects combustion particles in the air (smoke). It does not react to flames or gas.
The smoke alarm is designed to give o an audible alarm if a fire is developing.
»No smoke alarms are entirely reliable and they cannot give a 100% guarantee to protect life and pro-
perty against fire. The smoke alarm is no replacement for insurance. Homeowners and tenants should
take out life and home insurance.
»The smoke alarm should be tested every week and replaced every 10 years.

POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM
For the smoke alarm to give an early warning, it needs to be installed where the fire occurs. Housegard
therefore recommends that you install a smoke alarm in every room and on all floors.
»Install a smoke alarm in all separate bedrooms and in rooms commonly occupied.
»In homes with several storeys, a smoke alarm should be installed at the top of every staircase between
each storey.
»In the basement, a smoke alarm should be installed on the ceiling at the foot of the stairs.
»In bedrooms where people sleep with closed doors, there should always be a smoke alarm fitted in the
bedroom.
»Install a smoke alarm in every room where there is a potential risk of fire.
»Install a smoke alarm at each end of corridors, if they are longer than 9 metres.
»Install the smoke alarm in the middle of the ceiling. If this is not possible, install the smoke alarm on
the wall at least 0.5 m from any corner and at least 10–15 cm from the ceiling. (Wall-mounting is not
recommended).
KEY:
Minimal protection
Recommended/more substantial protection
Smoke alarms with a pause function are recommended
SMOKE ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE PLACED
IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS
»In the kitchen, near the cooker, where smoke from cooking could cause false alarms.
»In areas of high air humidity, such as bathrooms or near dishwashers or washing machines, where
steam and moisture could cause false alarms.
»Near fans and ventilation ducts, where air flows may prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm.
»Near light sources and electrical equipment that emit an electromagnetic field.
»Near a fireplace or stove with an open fire.
»At the top of a V-shaped ceiling, where air pockets could stop the smoke from reaching the smoke
alarm.
»In a garage, where exhaust fumes could cause false alarms.
»In dusty and dirty areas, where the dust and dirt could damage the smoke alarm.
»In rooms where the temperature may fall below 5 °C or rise above 45 °C, or in rooms with large tem-
perature variations.
WARNING: Incorrect positioning may lead to reduced reliability and false alarms.

PREPARING AND PROGRAMMING
Important: The ORIGO SA422WS smoke alarms are equipped with transmitters and receivers, so
they can communicate with each other. For this function to work, the smoke alarms must be pro-
grammed to link up.
WIRELESS TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER
»Radio frequency: 433 MHz
»RF receiver: < 5 mA
»RF emitter: < 10 mA
»Range: > 20 metres
IMPORTANT: The signal range may vary depen-
ding on position, the design of the building and
its materials. Make sure that all the installed
smoke alarms are within signal range.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
Smoke alarms emit a loud audible signal. We
recommend that you always use earplugs or other
hearing protection when programming and testing
your smoke alarms.
FITTING THE BATTERIES AND TESTING EACH SMOKE ALARM
Twist o the smoke alarm’s mounting plate and install 2 x AA/ LR6 batteries. Make sure you have the
right polarity +/- . Test each smoke alarm by pressing the test button for around 5 seconds. The alarm
should emit three short audible signals with around 1.5 seconds between them. Then release the test
button. Repeat with all the smoke alarms that are being installed.
PROGRAMMING THE SMOKE ALARMS TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER
Choose one of the smoke alarms as the main unit and mark it with an M on the back, so you know which
one it is later on. The main unit is used to send the radio code to the other alarms, so they all connect up.
1. Press the main unit’s test button for around 12 seconds, until the LED light stays on continuously. The
main unit is now in programming mode and ready to transmit the radio code to the other alarms. The
main unit remains in programming mode for around 30 seconds, before returning to normal mode.
2. While the main unit is in programming mode, take the slave unit and press the test button for around
1 second, until the LED light begins to flash. Then release the button. Both the main unit and the slave
unit’s LED lights should now flash quickly for 2 seconds. This shows that the two are connected.
3. Repeat step 2 with all the slave units that are being connected to the same system.
DELETING THE PROGRAMMING (Re-setting)
1. Press and hold in the test button for around 16 seconds, until the LED light begins to flash quickly.
Then release the button.
2. Once the LED light is lit, quickly press the test button twice. If re-setting is successful, the smoke alarm
will give out a short audible signal.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with all the units that need re-setting.
WARNING: There are a number of factors that could interfere with the wireless communication. You
should therefore test the smoke alarms every week to check that the units are communicating properly.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR
SMOKE ALARM
1. Remove the mounting plate on the back of the
smoke alarm by twisting it anticlockwise.
2. Install the mounting plate in the chosen posi-
tion on the ceiling. Take care to position your
smoke alarm properly.
3. Place the smoke alarm against the mounting
plate and twist the smoke alarm clockwise until
it clicks into place.
4. Press the test button to test the smoke alarm.
OPERATION
During normal operations, the smoke alarm’s LED
flashes every 40 seconds. This means that the
battery and the unit are working correctly. If the
alarm detects smoke, it will emit a loud, pulsing
warning sound and the red LED will emit a pulsing
light until the smoke has gone.
