Important Information
This smoke alarm MUST be installed in
accordance with national and local council
building regulations, state fire department
requirements and the latest edition of the
Australian and New Zealand wiring Rules AS/
NZS 3000. Building codes and regulations
may vary from each state jurisdiction.

NOTE: this information serves as a guide only.
Ensure units are located and installed as per
your local building codes and regulations.
1. As a minimum, smoke alarms should
be located between sleeping areas
and potential sources of fire such as a
kitchen, heater or basement. In single
story homes with one sleeping area,
an alarm should be installed in the
hallway outside the room. In single
story homes with two or more sleeping
areas, a minimum one alarm for each
area is required. In multilevel dwellings,
an alarm should be installed outside
and inside each sleeping area, in the
basement, and on every level of the
home.
2. Wherever possible Smoke alarms should
be installed on the ceiling and as close
to the centre of the room as possible.
(Avoiding dead air spaces, an area
in which trapped hot air will prevent
smoke from reaching the alarm).
(Diagram 1).
Smoke alrms should not be placed
within:
• 300mm of a corner of a ceiling
and a wall
• 300mm of a light fitting
• 400mm of an air-conditioning vent
• 400mm of the blades of a ceiling
fan.
3. Larger rooms, in excess of 10m in length,
should have multiple alarms installed.
4. For buildings with a peaked, or
cathedral type ceiling, the alarm musty
be installed at least 50cm from the apex
(Diagram 2).
5. Smoke alarms must be paired
(interconnected) with every other
smoke alarm in the residence so they all
activate together.
Avoid these locations
Smoke Alarms are sensitive electrical
equipment by nature.
To reduce the likelihood of nuisance or
repetitive false-triggering smoke alarms, avoid
installing:
1. Near cooking appliances, or close
to heating and cooling vents or
appliances.
2. In dusty or dirty areas.
3. In areas of excessive heat (eg, Garage)
4. In areas subjected to relative humidity
outside the range of 10%-93% eg
bathrooms, laundries.
5. Avoid installing where bugs or insects
are present.

Test Procedure
Hardwired Interconnection
1. Ensure the GREEN LED remains on, on
each unit. (This indicates 240V mains
AC power is connected)
2. Pressing and holding the TEST button on
any smoke alarm for at least 5 seconds
will cause unit to ALARM and the RED
LED to flash.
NOTE: all other interconnected smoke
alarms will stop alarming when releasing the
TEST button, and the RED LED will flash for 3
minutes.
3. Repeat this procedure for each alarm.
NOTE:The sending/test unit will only ALARM
on initial pressing, not in unison at same time
as receiving units.
NOTE: Smoke alarms CANNOT be HUSHED
while in TESTING mode. When replacing
battery, ensure unit is tested afterwards to
confirm correct operation.
Use minimum of 1mm2250V insulated wire for all wiring including inter-connecting.
Wiring instructions
1. All interconnected alarms must be connected to the same sub/circuit
2. A common Neutral must be used for interconnect to function
3. Do not connect the interconnect wires to Active or Neutral.
• The green LED remains illuminated
when the unit is connected to mains
power.This should always be on.
• In standby mode, the red LED will flash
(very faintly) periodically to indicate
that the unit is operating correctly.
• When smoke is detected, the unit will
sound a loud audible alarm, and the
red LED will flash continuously. The
alarm will silence once the presence of
smoke is removed

Memory feature (on a
triggered smoke alarm)
In an interconnected network, the RED LED
on the triggered smoke alarm flashes TWICE
approximately every 20 seconds for 72 hours.
This can be used to identify the triggered unit
in the event that residence is unoccupied at
the time of an ALARM.
1. The HUSH function can be repeated as
many times as necessary.
NOTE: Where multiple alarms are
interconnected, the HUSH function WILL
NOT OPERATE EXCEPT ON THE UNIT THAT THE
ALARM WAS TRIGGERED FROM. The triggered
unit can be identified by the RED LED flashing.
