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 smoke alarm 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), in these cases 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 be 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).

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARM
There are four terminals in the supply terminal block, marked L, E/LOOP, N, I. It is important that the alarm
is wired correctly to ensure correct operation. Incorrect wiring to the smoke alarm will damage the unit and
invalidate the warranty.
The terminal that is used to operate the smoke detector must be a separate permanent course that cannot
be turned o accidentally by the normal user. Before installing, make sure the circuit is secured and that the
power is turned o.
Use a conducted cable of at least 1 mm². Maximum cable length between 38 detectors is 250 meters.
All serial connected smoke detectors must be on the same phase throughout the circuit (L to L to L etc.).
The phases must not be crossed.
Do not connect the smoke detector to any other models than stated in this manual.
Terminal at back of mounting base are marked as follows:

INSTALLATION
1. Place the bracket on the ceiling and mark drill holes through the slots in the base.
2. Drill two 5 mm (3/16-inch) holes at the marks and insert plastic plugs.
3. Run the mains wiring. Use wiring with conductors of 1 ~ 2.5 mm2cross-sectional area. Wiring should have an
insulation resistance of at least 300V.
4. Strip the conductor insulation to expose 5 mm of the conductor.
5. Slide open the terminal cover to access the terminal screws and install the wiring as shown in Fig. above.

CAUSE OF ERROR ACTION
Steam and moisture. A false alarm may occur if the smoke
alarm is placed too close to a bathroom, laundry room, or
other location with high air humidity.
Place the smoke alarm at least 2 metres from any
bathroom, laundry room, or other location where high air
humidity may occur.
Dust and dirt. Since air passes freely through the detection
chamber, the smoke alarm will always attract some dust
and pollen particles. This can lead to a false alarm. The
smoke alarm may also become more sensitive for this
reason, which could cause false alarms. In addition, dirt
will collect over time, as the smoke alarm ages, which may
result in false alarms.
Regularly vacuum the smoke alarm, using a plastic nozzle
to avoid damaging the electronics. Avoid fitting smoke
alarms in places with a lot of dust and dirt. You can put a
‘hat’ over the smoke alarm or remove it entirely while you
are carrying out renovation work at home that involves
sawing, sanding, etc.
Draughts, dust and air flows. False alarms may be caused
by the smoke alarm being placed too close to doors,
windows, ventilation systems, fans, air ducts, heat pumps
or suchlike. This can lead to dust particles being carried up
into the detection chamber.
Do not install smoke alarms in a draughty location, close to
windows or doors, ventilation, fans, air ducts, heat pumps
or suchlike. Find a better location for the smoke alarm,
further away from draughts and air flows.
Temperature variations. Temperature variations may lead
to condensation in the detection chamber. This may hap-
pen, for example, if the smoke alarm is placed in a room
where windows are opened for ventilation in the winter,
or close to exits, balcony doors or other places that switch
between hot and cold.
Avoid fitting smoke alarms in rooms with rapid tempe-
rature changes or close to windows and doors that are
frequently opened and closed. Move the smoke alarm to a
place with a more even and stable temperature.
Generally unfavourable positions. Incorrect positioning in
an unstable indoor environment, a draughty area, close
to electronic apparatus (EMC) and lighting may cause a
false alarm.
Place smoke alarms at least 5 metres from open fires,
stoves or other heating devices; 2 metres from ventilation
ducts, heat pumps and air conditioning; 1 metre from light
bulbs and fluorescent tubes.
CAUSES AND REMEDIES FOR FALSE ALARMS
This smoke alarm detects and reacts to smoke particles in the air. The smoke particles sets o the smoke
alarm. This function means that the smoke alarm will also react to dust particles, moisture or other particles
in the form of pollen, insects and so on. These factors are usually the cause of a false alarm. If the alarm does
sound, check for fire first. If a fire is discovered, escape quickly and call the Fire Department. If no fire is pre-
sent, check to see if one of the reasons listed below may have caused the alarm.

12 - English
FOR YOUR SAFETY! NEVER IGNORE A SMOKE ALARM THAT HAS GONE OFF. WHEN YOU HEAR THE
ALARM SIGNAL, YOU MUST GIVE IT YOUR FULL ATTENTION AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM
Before testing, make sure that the smoke alarm is connected to AC power supply and there is a 9V battery
properly installed. Make sure the green LED is ON.
Test your smoke alarm by pressing down the test button and hold it for 5 seconds, then release. Test the
interconnected smoke alarms by pressing the TEST button for 10 seconds. If all interconnected smoke alarms
sounds the alarm, it means interconnect function is working properly.
1. Always test all alarms after installation to ensure that they are functioning properly.
2. The test button performs a full test of all functions. Never use a naked flame to test the smoke alarm, since
this can destroy the alarm.
3. Test your smoke alarm routinely once a week.
4. Always test your smoke alarms after a long period of absence from the home and always when you return
from a holiday.
5. Always stand at arm’s length when testing your smoke alarm to avoid damage to your hearing.
HUSH FUNCTION
The smoke alarm has a separated button for the hush function. The hush function allows you to stop the alarm
signal for 10 minutes if it goes o due to a false alarm (such as normal cooking fumes). Activate the hush
function by pressing the hush button while the unit is emitting the alarm signal. The hush feature allows time
for the smoke to clear. During the hush time the smoke alarm will chirp every 32 seconds for 10 minutes.

English - 13
IMPORTANT: If the battery is not installed, the
battery compartment will not close and the smoke
alarm will continuously sound a battery missing
signal. When the battery is first contacted, it is
normal for the alarm to sound for 1 second. This
indicates that the battery is positioned properly.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The smoke alarm should be cleaned regularly, and at least twice a year. Clean your smoke alarm by vacuuming
externally along the opening to the detection chamber to remove dust and dirt.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to open the cover to clean inside the smoke alarm. This will negate the warranty.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
How often the battery needs replacing depends on the type of battery. It is recommended that you replace
batteries routinely once a year, preferably on a particular date. Alternatively, replace the battery when the
smoke alarm emits the low battery signal (short audible signal every 32 seconds).
1. Click on the side on the mounting base to open the smoke alarm (PUSH).
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Fold red battery lever down into compartment with fresh batteries. If the red battery lever is not held
down, the smoke alarm will not close and will not be operational. Use only batteries specified on the label,
check the correct polarity +/-.
4. Press the test button to test the smoke alarm.
