Slimline Photoelectric
Photoelectric smoke alarms are designed to detect visible particles
(associated with slow smouldering fires). Home fires develop in different
ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection against fast
flaming fires and slow smouldering fires, both ionisation and photoelectric
alarms should be installed.

Installation Instructions
By law at least one smoke alarm must be installed on
each level of your home ( Figure 1B).
Recommended Locations
•In every room where someone sleeps with the door
closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm located
outside from waking the sleeper.
•In the immediate area of bedrooms and the exit path
from all sleeping areas (Figure 1A).
•In stairways, as stairways act like chimneys for smoke
and heat.
•In any room where large electrical appliances are
operated (e.g., portable heaters or humidifiers).
•If a hallway or room is more than 9.1m long put alarms
at both ends.
•For maximum household protection see Figure 1C.
Things to Consider:
For Ceiling Mounting:
Smoke from a fire will rise to the ceiling and spread
horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm in the centre of
the ceiling places it closest to all points in the room.
•When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a
minimum of 50cm from the side wall (Figure 2A).
Refer to your local state and federal laws or contact your local fire
brigade to determine the minimum installation requirements.

3
•For sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings the alarm
should be placed between 500mm and 1000mm from
the highest point of the ceiling (Figure 2B).
•Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than
1m in 8m horizontally, should be located on the high
side of the room (Figure 2B).
2
For Wall Mounting:
When mounting the alarm on the wall,use an interior
wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10cm
and mixinum of 30cm below the ceiling(Figure 2A).

Installation
Do Not Install Smoke Alarm Devices In The Following Places:
1. In the garage. Products of combustion are present when
you start your automobile.
2. Less than 20" (50cm) from the peak of an “A” frame
type ceiling. (See figure 2A)
3. In an area where the temperature may fall below 0℃or
rise above 40℃, such as garages and unfinished attics.
4. In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm
or failure to alarm.
5. In very humid areas (greater than 93%R.H.). Moisture or
steam can cause nuisance alarms.
6. In insect-infested areas.
7. Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 foot (0.9m)
of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a
bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air supply
ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house
ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
8. Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If
a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence
feature or be a photoelectric type.
9. Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause
nuisance alarms.
N.B. - Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector
guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has
been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

WARNING: Please read carefully and thoroughly.
•Australian Standard AS 1670.6 states the purpose of
installing smoke alarms is to provide early warning of a
potentially life threatening condition and provide the
maximum possible exit time.
•Smoke alarms have sensing limitations. Ionisation
sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles
(associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than
photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
detect visible fire particles (associated with slow
smoldering fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home
fires develop in different ways and are often
unpredictable. For maximum protection, both
ionisation and photoelectric alarms should be
installed.
•A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the
specified type, in good condition and installed properly.
•AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not
operate if the AC power has been cut off, such as by
an electrical fire or an open fuse.
•Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure
the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good
operating condition.
•Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does
not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not
sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the
other side of a closed door or on a different floor.
•If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a
different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
•The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s
ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each
sleeping area on every level of a home.
•Although smoke alarms can help save lives by
providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a
substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners,
landlords and tenants should have adequate insurance
to protect their lives and property.
IMPORTANT: This alarm is not intended to alert hearing
impaired individuals.

Additional Information
Smoke Detection - Where required by applicable laws, codes, or
standards for the specified occupancy, approved single and
multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:
•In all sleeping rooms with the exception: Smoke alarms shall
not be required in sleeping rooms in existing one and
two-family dwelling units.
•Outside of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity
of the sleeping rooms.
•On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements
exception: In existing one and two-family dwelling units,
approved smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
Smoke Detection
Are more smoke alarms desirable? The required number of
smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning
protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas
protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased
protection.
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining
room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by
the required smoke alarms.

Good Safety Habits
Develop and practice a plan of escape:
•Install and maintain Fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen,
basement and garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
•Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that
it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to
provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who
may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
•Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each
room. Second storey windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
•Have a family meetingand discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of a fire.
•Determine a place outside your home where you can meet if a fire occurs.
•Familiarise everyone with the sound of the alarm and train them to leave your home when they
hear it.
•Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills at night. Ensure that small
children hear the alarm and wake when it sounds. They must wake up in order to execute the
escape plan. Practice allows all occupants to test your plan before an emergency. You may not
be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do.
What to do when the Alarm Sounds
•Alert small children in the home.
•Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting
dressed or picking up valuables.
•In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or you see
smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead use your alternative exit.
•If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to
slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
•Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky.Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
•Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
•Call the fire brigade on 000 (AUS) or 111 (NZ) from your neighbour's home or a phone box -
not from yours!
•Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
•There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire.
For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children unsupervised.
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
d) fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for example, when a person's
clothes catch fire while cooking.
e) incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant's egress is blocked even
with properly located detectors.
