The following suggestions are intended to help you to position and
install your alarm.
1. The locations must comply with the applicable building regulations.
BS 5839 Part 6 gives guidance on the number, types and positioning
of alarms. In general, smoke alarms should be installed in every
circulation space such as Hallways, Landings, Bedrooms and
principal living spaces (living room). Larger spaces may require the
use of more than one unit.
2. Installed on each and every storey.
3. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the
preferred location. The air is“dead” and does not move into corners,
therefore smoke must be mounted away from corners. Position the
unit at least 30 cm away from walls and corners and 30 cm away
from any light tting or decorative object witch may obstruct smoke
entering the Alarm. (see the diagram 1).
4. When the ceiling is slanting, the alarm needs to be installed
minimum 50cm away from the highest ceiling point in the room (see
the diagram 2).
CAUTION: Our smoke alarm is also suitable for use in leisure
accommodation vehicles (LAVs).
1. Don’t place Alarms in bathrooms, Kitchens, Garages or other rooms where
the Alarm may be triggered by steam, condensation and normal smoke/
heat from appliances.
2. In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or
washing machines, install at least 3 meters away from these areas.
3. Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents, install at least lm
away from these areas. The air could blow smoke away from the detector,
interrupting its alarm.
4. In rooms where temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C. (due to
nuisance/false alarm activation).
5. In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas where particles may
interfere/obstruct with Alarm operation.
6. Away from air conditioning or ventilation grilles/ louvres.
Locations to Avoid

Wireless Interconnecting Function
1. Ensure product activation is complete.
2. Select one of smoke alarm as the MASTER unit. Treat all other units
as SLAVE units.
3. Press the test button on the MASTER unit three times within two
seconds, the red LED will ash quickly, the unit is now in sending
radio signal mode. This mode will last for 90 seconds.
4. While the MASTER unit is in sending radio signal mode. Press the
test button on any SLAVE unit three times within two seconds, the
SLAVE unit learns this signaland complete the pairing after a sound
“beep”with light ash once.
5. Repeat the above steps on all other SLAVE units.
Clear wireless connection function
Press the test button on any SLAVE unit three times within two seconds,
the red LED will ash quickly, then press and hold the test button again
until the red light goes out the rst time and release the button imme-
diately, the red LED will ash slowly, at this time, press the test button
again, the SLAVE unit will beep 3 times, which means that the SLAVE
unit clears wireless connected successfully.
CAUTION: MUST activate alarm rst, or else there is no function for this
unit. The smoke alarm is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with up
to 40 products. They are not designed to communicate with wireless
alarms from other ranges or manufacturers. These alarms need to be
“learning”or interlinked in order to communicate with each other. If
one alarm activates, all other interlinked alarms will also sound. Only
successful interconnection units can clear the radio signal. Clearing
the radio signal only removes the radio signal from the slave unit. The
MASTER unit can not clear the radio signal.
Testing:
Test by pushing the test button on the cover. This will sound the alarm if the
electronic circuitry, alarm, and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit
has defective batteries or other failures. DO NOT use an open ame to test your
alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a
structure re.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED
Normal Condition
The red LED should ash every 48 seconds to show that the alarm is active.
Alarm Condition
When the Alarm senses products of combustion and sounds the audible alarm,
the red LED will ash one ash/second. The ashing LED and pulsating alarm
will continue until the air is cleared.
Low Power Pack Condition
IMPORTANT: Your smoke alarm requires the power pack to have sucient
capacity of power to operate correctly. Should your smoke alarm enter a low
power pack condition the unit will emit an audible chirp once every 48 seconds
with light ash once. When this occurs you must replace the alarm immediately.
Your smoke alarm will continue to warn of this low power pack condition for
at least 30 days, however, failure to change the alarm after this time would
mean your smoke alarm may have insucient power to alert you in a real re
situation.
Fault Indication
The alarm chirp occurs every 48 seconds.
Alarm silence
During the unit is alarming, push the test button, it will be paused the unit
alarming for approx 8 minutes. The red LED will ash once every 8 seconds,
it indicates the smoke alarm device is running into the silence mode. If your
smoke alarm emits the full alarm signal and you are not testing the unit, the
smoke alarm is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires
your immediate attention. Only use the alarm silence function after making
sure that there is no ongoing re emergency situation. Do not block the vents
on the alarm or disable the smoke alarm in any way, as this will remove your
protection. Smoke alarms can sometimes react to cooking fumes or other
non emergency situations. In the event of a known false alarm your smoke
alarm can be temporarily silenced by pressing the test button. You alarm will
automatically return to full sensitivity within 8 minutes.
NOTE:
1. Press and release the silence button, the alarm sound will stop.
2. Your alarm will silence and enter into a reduced sensitivity reset cycle for
approximately 8 minutes.
3. During the reduced sensitivity reset cycle, the red LED will ash once every
8 seconds.
4. Your alarm will automatically return to full sensitivity on completion of the
reset cycle and the red LED will revert to ashing once every 48 seconds.
DANGER: Never ignore any alarm ignoring the alarm may result in injury or
death. If your smoke alarm activates and alarms and you are not absolutely
certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the house immediately.
