spurious smoke may disturb the smoke detector: kitchen, chimney, garage (exhaust gas), furnaces, boiler rooms, combustion
3. INSTALLATION
Commissioning the smoke detector
Comply with the following commissioning procedure:
Activate the single-use switch (1)
Wait a few seconds then press the button of the detector for 3 seconds until
the alarm sounds, then release it for the alarm to stop (2)
The detector initialises for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes,
the detector is operational. The red diode will then ash every 5 and
a half minutes indicating that the detector is working properly.
Mounting the smoke detector
The screws and wall plugs supplied with the detector should preferably be used
to mount your smoke detector.
Comply with the following procedure:
Select an appropriate location on the ceiling or the wall to mount the detector
Remove the mounting base (3)
Use a pencil to mark the screw holes in the intended place on the ceiling or the wall
Drill two holes to match the screws with equipment suited to the type of ceiling
Insert the nylon wall plugs supplied
Clean the area with a dry cloth to remove any dust
Screw the mounting base into the ceiling(4)

Standard installation
- on each oor
- in hallways and/or stairwells
- between rest areas (bedrooms), the possible ignition sources
(garage, area with a high electrical system, etc.) and exits
leading outside of your home (door, window)
Recommended installation
Place a detector:
- on each oor, every 7 m
- in each stairwell per level
- in each room (1 for 50 m²), except in the kitchen
and the bathroom (refer to paragraph 2: Places to
be avoided)
It is recommended to install smoke detectors:
- less than 7 m from possible ignition sources
- less than 7 m from rest areas (3 m if the doors are closed)
- less than 7 m from exits
radiators, etc. Close to heating appliances, windows, ventilation ducts, air conditioners, fans or any other item of equipment
that may produce air ows Close to an area that is hotter or cooler than the rest of the room (non-insulated walls, hatches,
etc.) Less than 1.5 m from obstacles preventing the smoke from accessing the detector (decorative objects, walls, doors,
plants, chandeliers, curtains, etc.) Less than 1.5 m from lighting appliances (ceiling light, incandescent lamps, halogen or
uorescent lamps, etc.) Less than 1.5 m from electrical appliances or their wiring.
6. PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITS OF USE
For your safety, please comply with the following measures:
You must follow all instructions in this manual. Please bear in mind that it may be dangerous to mute or switch off the
detector or to refuse to replace your detector when specied by the manual. Do not install the detector in one of the
situations described in paragraph 2 “Places to be avoided”.Do not paint or cover the detector.Do not block the detector
openings. Do not disassemble, modify or damage the detector. Do not place bare ignition sources such as lighted candles
underneath the detector. The detector must remain in place at all times. The detector is not a transportable product. To
avoid accidents, the detector must be safely secured to the ceiling or wall in accordance with the installation instructions. 
The detector is unable to detect res outside of the dwellings. The detector will not be able to detect a re if an insufcient
quantity of smoke reaches the detector sensor (smouldering re, re too far away, etc.). It is recommended to install several
detectors for optimum safety. The detector cannot be used for people who are hearing impaired. The manufacturer recom-
mends a monthly maintenance of the detectors. It is dangerous to suspect a false alarm as the smoke preceding the onset
of the ames are toxic and may cause you to lose consciousness: despite the absence of ames, a re may blaze up in a few
minutes. If false alarms are frequent, you may need to change the location of your detector and move it further away from
the sources of false alarms. The maximum date of commissioning must not exceed 5 years after the date of manufacture
afxed to the detector. The detector must not be used after the maximum specied use-by date: the maximum use-by date
is equal to the date of manufacture afxed to the detector + 10 years. The detector must no longer be used and must be
replaced subsequent to a re or after a signicant amount of smoke or under abnormal conditions.
The detector is designed to have a service life of 10 years* enabling it:
To detect res for 10 years To power the alarm signal for 4 minutes at 85 dB. To perform weekly tests for 10 seconds.
To indicate that the battery is low via an audible signal for 30 days.
The detector is designed to operate in a normal household environment:
Temperature: 15°C to 35°C. Humidity: 25% to 75%. Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa.
The detector may be used in an exceptional household environment:
Temperature ranging between 4°C and 45°C. Humidity ranging between 10% and 95%. Recurrent and/or prolonged
use in this exceptional environment may reduce the battery life and consequently the service life of the detector..
