General information
The m-RMF is an optical smoke detector combined with a transmitter-receiver
unit. When installed with several other smoke detectors, the units communicate
with each other via wireless technology.
In the event of smoke being detected in any of the secured rooms, ALL the
smoke detectors installed will be simultaneously activated. A conventional
detector triggering an alarm in an upper room cannot always be heard in rooms
on the ground floor. This problem is resolved with linked smoke detectors.
Smoke located under the ceiling is sensed through openings on the underside
of the detector. The correct functioning of the smoke detector can be checked
using the TEST–button.
LED display
The LED flashes briefly every 30 seconds during the measurement cycle.
When the LED flashes quickly, smoke has been detected and an alarm is
triggered.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Linked smoke detectors have a communication range of up to 40 m.
• Smoke detectors respond to smoke, not heat, gas or fire.

• Only test the smoke detector with the TEST–button or use a commercially
available test spray. Under no circumstances should you use other materials
to generatesmoke for testing, since these can be harmful to your health and
cause damage to the smoke detector.
• Cigarette smoke does not normally trigger the smoke detector, except when
• present in very large amounts and blown directly into the detector’ sensors.
• Use high-quality batteries, not rechargeable batteries.
• Do not paint the detector and do not cover the openings for the siren.
Principles of an escape plan
Draw up a plan which shows all doors, windows and at least two escape routes
from each room. Rooms on upper floors may require a rope or ladder for this
purpose. Discuss the escape routes and what needs to be done in the case of
fire with your family. Select a meeting place outside of the house in case of fire.
Familiarise all members of the household with the alarm system and ensure
that everybody understands that is necessary to leave the house as soon as the
alarm is heard. Identify children‘s rooms with a red label on the upper left corner
of the window pane. These labels are available at your local fire department.
Practise the fire alarm drill at least once every 6 months. Such exercises help
test the escape routes used in the event of an emergency. As it is possible that in
the case of a fire you will not be able to reach your children, it is important they
understand what they have to do.
What to do when the alarm is triggered?
Leave the house by the escape routes. Every second counts, so do not waste
time getting dressed or taking valuables with you. When leaving the house,
before you open any door feel its surface. If the surface is hot or if you see smoke
streaming in under the door, then do not open the door! Instead, use an alternate
escape route. If the surface is cool then press your shoulder against it and open
the door slightly, while remaining prepared to close it again in case heat and
smoke come in. If smoke is in the room stay close to the floor. If possible, use a
damp towel to breathe through. As soon as you are outside, go immediately to
the meeting place. Check that all persons are present. A list of people can help in
this regard. Then call the fire department using your mobile phone or a phone at
your neighbours. Do not return to the building until the fire department gives you
permission to do so.
Assembly location
• The smoke detector must be mounted on the ceiling with a minimum distance
of 50 cm from the nearest corner or wall.
• The smoke detector must be positioned at least 30 cm from any junction box
and at least 150 cm from fluorescent lamps.
• Install at least two smoke detectors, one per floor and (for additional safety)
one in each room.
• Do not install the smoke detectors in any area susceptible to draughts
(e.g. near air–conditioners or ventilators).

= Please do not
install smoke detec-
tors in this area.
• Do not install the detectors in rooms with high humidity (shower rooms, baths,
kitchens or laundry rooms), rooms with large temperature fluctuations (over
40°C or under –5°C) or where the detectors can be contaminated by vehicle
exhaust gases, dust and dirt (garage, furnace room, etc.)
→ in these cases use a heat detector.
• Do not install the detector in the top of a roof, because clear air can collect
there in the event of fire.
• Install smoke detectors along the escape routes for additional safety.
• Ensure that the smoke detectors are easily accessible for testing and repair
purposes.
Safety and maintenance information
• Ensure that all electrical connections (including cable connections) to other
devices meet their related guidelines and conform to the operating instructions.
• Ensure that sockets and extension cables are not overloaded due to the risk of
fire and electric shock.
• In the case of any doubt concerning the operation, safety or the connection of
the devices, please contact a specialist.
• Keep all parts in a safe place out of the reach of children.
• Please do not keep them in moist, very cold or hot areas; this can lead to
damage of the electronic circuits.
• Avoid hard shocks to the equipment; this can also lead to electronic circuit
damage.
• Only authorized specialists should be allowed to open and repair the equipment.
• Wireless systems are subject to interference from wireless telephones, micro-
wave ovens as well as other electrical equipment operating in the 433 MHz
range. Ensure a MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 3 METRES during installation and
operation.
Maintenance
As the smoke detectors are maintenance–free, please do not open them. Your
warranty will expire if you open the devices. Clean the outside of the devices
with a dry, soft towel or a brush. Do not use any cleaning materials containing
carboxylic acid, petrol, alcohol or similar substances.

These materials attack the surfaces of the devices and their vapours are both
harmful to health and are explosive. Do not use any pointed tools, such as
screwdrivers, wire brushes, to clean the devices.
Installation
1. Twist off the assembly plate from the smoke detector. (A)
2. Install the assembly plate to the assembly location (wall or ceiling).
3. Insert a 9V battery into the battery compartment (B) ➀ for the smoke detector.
4. Insert three AA batteries for the linking up into the large battery compartment
(B) ➁ Before inserting the final AA battery, press first the red notch and then
the final battery down.
5. Place the smoke detector with the openings on the clips of the assembly plate
and twist until it locks in place.
Note The smoke detector cannot be fastened to the assembly plate
without batteries.
Installation test
Check all the installed devices by pressing the TEST–button (C) for a few seconds.
Release the button as soon as the alarm is triggered. The alarm will continue
sounding for a few seconds and then automatically stops. Now you can be sure
that the device functions properly.

Linking up the smoke detectors
We recommend performing the registration of all smoke detectors on a table.
The following steps must be carried out within 20 seconds. Please read the inst-
ructions before performing the individual steps.
6. Take a smoke detector from the group and designate it as the “master”.
The remaining detectors are all assigned to be secondary detectors (“slaves”).
7. Press the LEARN–button on the “master” detector several times until it lights
up green. (D)
8. Now press the LEARN–button on all the secondary “slave” detectors until they
light up red. (D)
9. Test: press the TEST–button (C) on the “master” detector until all the smoke
detectors emit a signal. At this point, the LED on the “master” detector will
flash red and the LEDs on the secondary detectors will flash green. After a few
seconds the alarm signal will stop.
The smoke detectors are now linked.
Creating a large group
If the required number of number of devices cannot register within 20 seconds,
then a smaller group can be created first.
This group can then be expanded by adding additional “slave” detectors. For each
detector in the existing group, the TEST–button (C) can be pressed down until all
the other detectors react and the additional detectors are added to the group.
Creating single groups
Single groups can also be created in a house. For this purpose, it is first
necessary to delete the memory of each smoke detector.
• Remove all batteries from the smoke detectors and re-insert after 3 minutes.
• Register each detector as a “slave”, repeatedly press the LEARN–button (D)
(the red LED must light up) and press the TEST–button (C). This will only trigger
the alarm on this unit.
If, after creating the first group (refer to the installation test) you want to create
a second group, wait at least 5 minutes and then perform the same learning pro-
cess for the new group. If a detector is to be added to the other group, then this
detector can only be set up as a new “slave” to the “master” of the group. Only
“slave” detectors can be swapped within the group.
Note If an alarm is triggered in one group, the green LEDs in the other
group will flash (as a display) — but no alarm signal will sound.

Maintenance test
• Test your smoke detectors at least once a month by pressing the test button
(C); all the devices will sound the alarm.
• Blow the sensors with a commercially available compressed air spray at least
once every 6 months to remove dust and dirt.
Battery
The detector works with one 9V block battery and three 1.5V AA batteries. The
9V block battery is responsible for the signaling and the three AA batteries are
needed to link the smoke detectors. Under normal circumstances, the batteries
will run for about 1 year. The low battery indicator will emit a short warning signal.
Replace all the batteries of the affected detector simultaneously.
False alarm
• Foreign particles can block the optical sensor. Blow them free using a
compressed air spray.
• Do not install the detectors too close to light fixtures and/or other electronic
devices.
• Use high-quality batteries — not rechargeable batteries.
