Introduction
The Puff Alert-C No Smoking Detector is a high-sensitivity detector
based on photoelectric technology, which senses cigarette, cigar and
pip tobacco smoke at an early stage and warns by means of a buzzer
and a red light-emitting diode.
A remote indicator is also available for easy of centralized
identification.
Product characteristics
Smoke sensing
Every detector is separately calibrated in order to avoid false alarms.
The detector is electronically regulated internally, thereby maintaining
a constant sensitivity of the alarm.
The detector has 3 levels sensitivity.
1. High sensitivity
2. Normally sensitivity
3. Low sensitivity
Monitoring
A red light-emitting diode located (LED) on the top cover indicates
different function state of the detector.
The LED flashes once per 45 seconds signals that the device is in
monitoring state and is functioning correctly.
Battery-warning
The Puff Alert-C manages the battery automatically. When the battery
runs low, the detector turns into Low-battery state.
The detector emits a short beep warning sound, synchronous with the
LED blinking per 45 seconds, signalling the Low-battery state. The
detector will continue to function for up to 1 month under Low-battery
state.
Fully automatic test function
Advanced electronics ensure the best possible operating readiness by
means of an automatic self-test function.
In case of failure, the detector gives out a fault signal by means of 3
beeps every 35 seconds, synchronous with the LED blinking.
Smoke Alarm
When Puff Alert-C detects small amounts of cigarette, cigar or pipe
tobacco smoke, and the concentration of smoke reaches the alarm
threshold, the detector then turns into alarm state.
There are two styles of alarm signals, selected via the Button (see
below), one is quick, one is slow.
In quick style, the buzzer beeps once per second, synchronous with the
LED blinking.
In slow style, the buzzer beeps once every three seconds, synchronous
with the LED blinking.
Interconnection
The Puff Alert-C supplies an interconnection function, which allows
the alarm signal to be transferred from one to another.
When a detector is in Interconnection Alarm, the Buzzer emits 3 beeps,
then a obvious space, then 3 beeps, circularly. The LED keeps off.
Multi-function Button
A multi-function button is located on the top cover, which supplies
operations bellow.
1. Manual Test
When the detector is in monitoring state, press the button for
more than one second, the detector will turn into Test mode,
which is similar to the Smoke Alarm mode. And after a short
while, the detector turns back to monitoring mode again.
2. Hush
When the detector is in Smoke Alarm state and sounds an audible
voice, press the button for less than half a second, the detector
will stop the audible voice.
3. Sound Style Selection
When the detector is in monitoring state, press the button for less
than half a second, will change the sound style of the Smoke
Alarm from quick to slow or reversed.
Remote Indicator
A remote indicator is also available for easy of remote identification.
When Puff Alert-C is in Smoke Alarm state, The Remote Indicator
operates similar to that of the LED and the Buzzer which is located the
detector.
Placement Location
•Should be mounted on the ceiling in areas selected for No
Smoking.
•One device for every 65 cubic metres approximately. The
minimum requirement for large areas request advice from your
product supplier.
•For complicated or extensive properties please request qualified
advice from your product supplier.
The following locations shall be avoided:
•Next to doors, windows, ventilators etc. where draughts can
deviate smoke from the sensor.
•In small or poorly ventilated garages or kitchens where waste
gas or vapours may cause false alarms.
•In areas where dust and dirt can interfere with the operation or
cause false alarms.
•In areas where insects or vermin may effect the integrity of the
alarm.
•In damp or humid areas (e.g. in the bathrooms).
•In areas where the temperature may often fall below –5°C or
exceed +38°C.
Installation
•Drill two horizontal holes 5 diameter, 22mm deep, 58 mm apart,
where is intended to install the detector.
•Insert the enclosed plastic plugs into the holes.
•Separate the base plate and detector by rotating
counterclockwise.
•Place the base plate so that the two long slot-holes s are aligned
to the plastic plugs inside the ceiling. Fasten the base plate on
the respective surface using the enclosed screw.
•Open the battery lid of the detector, Clip the battery lead to the
9V lithium battery, ensuring the correct polarity, and insert the
battery in the space provided. Then close the battery lid.
•Push the detector onto the mounting bracket perfectly. and turn
it clockwise to align the side slot of the bracket and the detector.
Make sure the detector is firmly locked.

Remote Indicator and Interconnection Wiring
A connecter inside the bottom of the detector supplies wiring terminals
for the optional Remote Indicator and Interconnection function.
Figure 2 shows the wiring of the Remote Indicator and/or
interconnection.

Testing
After installation, a test operation is a must to ensure that the detector
works properly.
Press the Multi-function Button continuously at least 1 second for a
Manual Test. The buzzer should beep and the LED should flash as
described in the Manual Test section.
If the horn does not beep or if the LED does not flash, please do check
the following points:
•Is the detector damaged?
•Is the detector clean?
•Are the batteries working properly? Are you using the required
battery types? Are the batteries connected properly? Replace the
batteries if necessary.
If the detector is still not working, do not attempt to repair it but
contact a professional.
False alarms
In case of false alarm, please check if the air around the detector is
clear. Fan the air around the smoke alarm if necessary, until the alarm
turns off. If the false alarm occurs frequently or continuously, Please
consider of maintenance.
Maintenance
Periodic maintenance contributes to a long service life of the Puff
Alert-C and ensures a failure-free operation.
•Clean the outside cover with a damp cloth at least every three
months (do not use any detergent!).
•Vacuum the outside cover and vents every three months. Never
let the vacuum cleaner come in contact with the interior parts of
the smoke alarm.
Please note!
The Puff Alert-C requires sufficient power to operate.
•Please use the appropriate type of branded batteries, used only
9-volt lithium battery for the smoke detector
•Please check the polarity of the battery carefully.
•Please verify that the smoke alarm is working properly
immediately after replacing the batteries.
•In case of the Battery Warning signal, replace the 9-volt battery
immediately. Otherwise please change it at least once per year.
•Puff Alert-C is designed for ceiling mount only.
General
Puff Alert-C will activate the sound warning when it detects cigarette,
cigar or pipe smoke. Everything preventing the smoke from reaching
the alarm obstructs an early alarm.
A single detector provides only limited coverage and you should
consult the supplier if a large area of detection is desired.
