Warnings
• To prevent injury, this smoke alarm must be securely
attached to the ceiling/wall in accordance with the
installation instructions.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire or the like.
• Do not paint or cover the smoke alarm.
Where to install a smoke alarm
• Check specific State legislation in your area to ensure
smoke alarms are correctly located according to local laws.
Each State or Territory may dier in building codes and
regulations. PSA Products can only recommend the locations.
• Locate an alarm for each separate sleeping area in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. Try to monitor the exit
path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from an exit. If
more than one sleeping area exist, then install additional
alarms in the immediate vicinity of each sleeping area.
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairwells because
stairwells act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.

• Locate an alarm in every room where a smoker sleeps.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances
are operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with
the door closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not
located in that room from waking the sleeper.
• Smoke, heat and other combustion products rise to the
ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the alarm on
the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all
points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary
residential construction.
• When mounting alarms on the ceiling locate it at least
300mm away from the side wall and 300mm away from any
corner. (see diagram).
• When mounting alarms on a wall, use the inside wall. The
recommended position is between 300mm and 500mm o
the ceiling. (see diagram).
NOTE: The performance of smoke alarms mounted on walls is
unpredictable and this mounting position is not recommended
when ceiling mounting can be implemented.

Installation

Where not to install a smoke alarm
• Do not locate your smoke alarm in the garage - products
of combustion are present when you start your automobile.
Use Lifesaver Heat Alarm in this location.
• Do not locate your smoke alarm in front of forced air supply
ducts used for heating and air conditioning and other high
air flow areas.
• Do not locate your alarm in areas where temperatures may
fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C, or in humidity higher than
93% as these conditions may reduce battery life.
• Avoid dusty areas, dust particles may cause smoke alarm to
false alarm or fail to alarm. Use Lifesaver Heat Alarm in this
location to avoid false alarms.
• Avoid very humid areas or near a bathroom, moisture can
cause false alarm.
• Avoid insect-infested areas.
• Do not locate alarm within 0.9m of the following: the door
to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or
shower, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high
flow areas.
• Avoid locating near fluorescent lights or other electrical
equipment. Install smoke alarms at least 300mm away from
lights and other electrical devices.

Activation
Before commissioning the smoke alarm, it is important
to activate it and test it for correct operation.
• Install the smoke alarm onto the mounting bracket.
The smoke alarm will give a short beep when the alarm
is fully connected to the bracket.
• Firmly press the test button for at least 3 seconds.
The alarm will sound 3 short beeps – 1.5 seconds pause,
then repeat it until the button is released. The initial test
volume is low, then followed by full volume sound. The alarm
may sound for up to a few seconds after releasing the test
button, indicating that the product can be used normally.
Mounting
• Place the mounting bracket on the desired installation
location and mark where the holes should be drilled.
• Drill two holes with a diameter of 5 millimeters.
• Push the plastic plugs into the holes.
• Insert the screws into the mounting bracket and
tighten them firmly into the plugs.

• Place the smoke alarm
on the mounting
bracket and secure
it by turning it
clockwise. Test the
correct operation of
your smoke alarm
by pressing the test
button.
• If no sound is
generated, the smoke
alarm is not functioning
properly and should not
be used!
Alarm silence facility
When the smoke alarm activates, the alarm can be silenced or
hushed for 5 to 15 minutes by pressing the test/hush button.
After that, the smoke alarm automatically resets and returns to
normal opera on mode. If there are small particles of combustion
in the air, the smoke alarm will activate again. WARNING: Before
using the alarm silence facility, always identify the cause of the
alarm and make sure that the circumstances are safe.

Low battery mode
When the battery is running low, the smoke alarm will indicate
this with a repetitive beep and flash for approximately 30 days.
WARNING: This smoke alarm is equipped with a non-
replaceable battery. When this warning occurs, replace the
device as soon as possible! The low battery warning beep
can be hushed for 10 hours by pressing the test/hush button.
This feature allows you time to change the smoke alarm. The
smoke alarm will continue to function as normal in this mode.
Fault warning mode
When the smoke sensor is not functioning properly, it will turn
into the 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 replace the
smoke alarm when this occurs.
Night mode
This smoke alarm has an automatic night mode. In dark rooms,
the LED signal will be turned o to prevent disturbance of the
night’s sleep.

Alarm Tamper-Resist
Feature
A tamper resist feature has been
provided. To activate this feature,
you must break out the tamper-
resist blocks on the mounting plate.
Using this feature will deter
children and others from removing
the alarm from the mounting plate.
Disassembling
To disassemble the smoke alarm, take a screw driver and
push it into the mounting hole. Then, turn the smoke alarm
counterclockwise to remove it from the mounting bracket.

Maintenance
• This smoke alarm is equipped with a self-testing mechanism.
We recommend to test the smoke detector manually at
least once every three months by using the test facility. If the
smoke alarm functions 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
testing. If the smoke alarm does not generate an acoustic
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 soft 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 attempt to repair this smoke alarm. If the smoke
alarm shows damage related to its functionality, it must be
replaced!
• Troubleshooting: False alarm is often caused by dust
or steam.
This smoke alarm has an expected service life of 10 years under normal
conditions. We recommend that you should replace the smoke alarm after 10
years from installation date to ensure normal operation.
