Intended Use
The RTX smoke detector serves for the detection of smoke indoors and to issue a loud acoustic
signal if it is detected.
If triggered, the smoke detector sends a radio signal which can be received by alarm system in the
Protect series or other smoke alarms. The alarm system and/or other smoke alarms then raise the
actual alarm.
A condition for complying with the intended use is that the equipment is installed correctly and the
information in the manual is observed and maintained.
Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modifications or reconstructions not de
scribed in the manual are not permitted and could cause the product to be damaged.

Notes on Use
5G
Please check the contents of the package carefully. If anything is missing or has been damaged
during transport, DO NOT put the smoke detector into operation!
Notes on Use
• The smoke detectors can be deployed individually or in combination (in a master/slave opera
tion).
Alternatively, the smoke detectors can be connected to each other via a Protect alarm system
base unit.
• The smoke detector only monitors a limited area! Therefore, install a sufficient number of smoke
detectors to ensure optimum protection.
• The smoke detectors only operate correctly with fully functional, correctly inserted batteries. The
smoke detectors must not be operated with rechargeable batteries.
• The smoke detectors must not be painted over and the air vents must not be covered.
• The smoke detectors detect smoke from a fire, not the flames themselves.
• It should be possible to hear the smoke detectors in the entire living area.
• People under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs may not be alerted/woken by the
alarm signal.

Notes on Use
6G
Changing the Battery
If you hear a signal tone issued at regular intervals, it indicates that the battery in a smoke detector
is almost empty. Change the battery in the smoke detector concerned within 30 days.
CAUTION!
Property damage through using inappropriate batteries which are not approved by the manu
facturer!
The use of inappropriate batteries can cause loss of function of the smoke detector.
Only use batteries approved by the manufacturer.
1. Remove the smoke detector from its base (refer to Section Installation).
2. Change the battery.
3. Install the smoke detector in the base (refer to Section Installation).
When the smoke detector is connected to an alarm system, the alarm system base unit also
signals low battery power in the display.

Registering Without Alarm System
Connecting the Smoke Detectors to Each Other Without an Alarm System
The smoke detectors can be connected to each other directly via radio signals. In this case, one of
the smoke detectors must be set-up as the master and the other smoke detectors registered as
slaves on the master.
The master-slave operation ensures that when an alarm is triggered, all the smoke detectors con
nected are also triggered.
We recommend setting up the wireless connection between the smoke detectors before assem
bling the smoke detectors.
WARNING!
Hearing damage through loud alarm signal!
The alarm signal is loud and could cause hearing damage.
Do not hold the product near your ears to test it.
Use appropriate ear protectors when connecting the smoke detectors.

Registering Without Alarm System

Setting Up a Smoke Detector as Master
The master should be set-up in a central position in the area to be monitored. The Code button must
remain pressed until the registration process, including all of the slaves, has been completely fin
ished.
1. Connect the 9 V power pack enclosed in the scope of delivery to the battery clip on the smoke
detector. The battery clip is reverse-polarity proof.
2. Press and hold the Code button (2) on the rear side of the smoke detector until the entire registra
tion process is completely finished.
3. The alarm signal sounds, the smoke detector is set-up as the master.
Registering the Smoke Detector as a Slave
Further smoke detectors can be registered as slaves directly on the master.
Slaves should also be installed as centrally as possible in the area they must monitor.
A condition for registering smoke detectors as slaves is that one smoke detector is already
registered as a master.
1. Connect the 9 V power pack enclosed in the scope of delivery to the battery clip on the smoke
detector. The battery clip is reverse-polarity proof.
2. Press the Code button (2) on the rear side of the smoke detector.

What to do If the smoke detectors raise an alarm
Keep calm.
Always assume that is a real emergency situation.
Proceed as follows if a smell, smoke or fire has developed in the area being monitored:
You and others at risk must move away from the danger area. Keep near the floor if there is a
dense development of smoke and, if possible, hold a damp cloth in front of your mouth and nose.
Follow the escape routes indicated. Close all doors and windows which can be accessed to pre
vent the smoke and fire spreading further.
Call the fire service using the appropriate emergency number 112. Remain calm and answer
questions: Who is calling? Where is the fire? What has happened? Are there any injured per
sons? What types of injuries have occurred? Wait for instructions.
Try and extinguish the initial fires using the appropriate extinguishing agents available, such as
fire extinguishers and fire blankets. However, never put yourself and others at risk.

In the Event of an Alarm

Installation
Appropriate Installation Locations
A smoke detector monitors a circular area with a diameter of about 4.5 meters.
Therefore, install
• a smoke detector in the hall area between living and sleeping areas (for escape route monitoring),
• a smoke detector in each living room and bedroom,
• at least one smoke detector in the hallway of each floor in the case of multi-storey buildings,
• a smoke detector above the stairs in cases where an attic has been upgraded to a living area.
Inappropriate Installation Locations
The smoke detector must not be installed
• in the vicinity of electrical devices such as energy-saving lamps, electrical units, etc. (minimum
clearance: 50 cm) ,
• in the vicinity of ventilation shafts (minimum clearance: 1 m) and strong draughts,
• directly under the roof (min. distance of 30 cm to the roof of an attic),
• in rooms in which vapours, dust or smoke develops under normal conditions (examples of this are
workshops, kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, etc.),
• in the vicinity of open hearths or fireplaces,
• in rooms in which the temperature can rise above +40 °C or drop below +5 °C.
