The WEEE symbol means that this product and baeries must be
disposed separately from other household waste. When they
reach their end of life, take them to a designated waste collecon
point in your area to guarantee a safe disposal or recycling. Protect
the environment, human health and natural resources!
Alarm silence facility
When the smoke alarm has detected smoke and turns into the alarm
mode, you can mute the alarm for a minimum of 5 minutes and a
maximum 15 minutes by pressing the test panel. Aer that, the smoke
alarm automacally resets and returns into the normal operaon mode.
If there are sll parcles of combuson in the air, the smoke alarm will
turn into the alarm mode again. WARNING: Use this funcon only if you
are absolutely sure that the alarm was triggered by a known problem,
e.g. smoke development during cooking.
Low baery mode
When the baery is running low, the smoke alarm will indicate this with
a repeve beep and flash for approximately 30 days. WARNING: This
smoke alarm is equipped with a non-replaceable baery. When this
warning occurs, replace the device as soon as possible! The acousc low
baery warning signal can be muted for ten hours by pressing the test
panel. The smoke alarm is sll funconing and able to detect smoke
when it's in this mode.
Fault warning mode
The smoke alarm runs through a periodical self-test. When the smoke
sensor is not funconing properly, it will turn into the sensor fault
warning mode. Try cleaning the smoke alarm (see paragraph
“Maintenance”) or replace the smoke alarm!
If the buzzer is not working correctly, the device will turn into the buzzer
fault warning mode. Please immediately contact the manufacturer or
replace the smoke alarm when this occurs.
Night mode
This smoke alarm has an automac night mode. In dark rooms, the led
signal will be dimmed to prevent disturbance of the night's sleep.

Overview visual & acousc signals
Maintenance
• This smoke alarm is equipped with a self-tesng mechanism. We
recommend to test the smoke detector manually at least once every
three months by using the test facility. If the smoke alarm funcons
correctly, it will generate a loud beep. Due to the loudness of the
alarm, make sure that you always stand at arm’s length distance from
the unit when you are tesng. If the smoke alarm does not generate
an acousc signal, the smoke alarm must be replaced immediately!
• Clean the smoke alarm at least once per month to remove dirt, dust or
debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a so brush and vacuum all sides
and covers of the smoke alarm. Do not remove the top cover of the
smoke alarm to clean it inside.
• Do not aempt to repair this smoke alarm. If the smoke alarm shows a
damage related to its funconality, it must be replaced!
• Trouble shoong: False alarm is oen caused by insect penetraon,
dust or steam.
Disassembling
To disassemble the smoke alarm, take a screw driver and push it into the
mounng hole. Then, turn the smoke alarm counterclockwise to remove
it from the mounng bracket.

Product descripon and intended use
This is a smoke alarm with a photoelectric sensor for installaon in
residenal buildings, apartments and rooms with residenal-like use.
Smoke alarms are designed to provide an early warning of emergency
fires to persons present, so that these persons can react appropriately to
the hazardous event. Always consult local regulaons for smoke alarms.

Warnings
• To prevent injury, this device must be securely aached to the
ceiling/wall in accordance with the installaon instrucons.
• Baeries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like.
• Do not paint or cover the smoke alarm.
• In rooms with simple sloped, peaked or gabled ceilings, install smoke
alarms on the ceiling 900mm (3 feet) from the highest point of the
ceiling. “Dead air” at the peak of a ceiling may prevent the smoke
from reaching the alarm in me to provide an early warning.
Where not to install a smoke alarm
• In an environment with a high risk of draught (e.g. close to air
condioning, fans and venlaon outlets). The movement of air can
impair the penetraon of fire smoke into the smoke alarm.
• Areas where fumes or cooking smoke occur, such as kitchens.
• Areas with high humidity such as bathrooms, or close to appliances
such as dish washers or washing machines.
• Areas where dust can accumulate such as the garage or ac.
Mounng
• Place the mounng plate on the desired installaon locaon and mark
where the holes should be drilled.
• Drill two holes with a diameter of 5 millimetres.
• Push the plasc plugs into the holes.
• Insert the screws into the mounng plate, and ghten them firmly into
the plugs.
• Place the smoke alarm on the mounng bracket and secure it by
turning it clockwise.
Acvaon
Before commissioning the
smoke alarm, it is
important to acvate it
and test it for correct
operaon.
• When fixing the alarm
body to the bracket the
alarm is automacally
acvated.
• Press the full face test
panel and hold it in for
approximately 3
seconds unl the alarm
siren sounds. Release
the test panel
immediately after this.
The smoke alarm will
generate a beep to
indicate that it's
acvated.
Where to install a smoke alarm
• As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located between sleeping
areas and potenal sources of fire such as living rooms and kitchens.
In single story homes with one sleeping area, a smoke alarm should be
installed in the hallway, as close as possible to the living
accommodaon. To ensure audibility in bedrooms, no smoke alarm
should be further away than 3m from any bedroom door. It may be
necessary to install more than one smoke alarm, parcularly if the
hallway is more than 15m long. In single story homes with two
separate sleeping areas, a minimum of two smoke alarms is required,
one outside each sleeping area. In mullevel or split level homes, as a
minimum a smoke alarm should be installed on the ground floor
between the staircase and any rooms in which a fire might start and
on each story in circulaon areas which form part of escape route
(normally hallways and landings).
• Addional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in ancipaon of
fires originang there, caused by faulty wiring, lights, appliances,
smokers or other hazards.
• For best protecon, smoke alarms should be installed in every room in
your home, apart from those listed in the next secon. Heat alarms
should be used in kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages and
such like, where smoke alarms would be unsuitable.
• Install smoke alarms in circulaon areas at a distance no greater than
7.5m from the farthest wall, no greater than 7.5m from a door to any
room in which a fire might start and no greater than 7.5m from the
next smoke alarm.
• As it is impossible to predict the source of a fire, the best locaon for
an alarm is usually the center of a room or hallway. If it is necessary to
place a smoke alarm on a wall, always locate the detecon element of
the alarm 150mm to 300mm (6 to 12 inches) below the ceiling and the
boom of the alarm above the level of doors and other openings.
