3Locations
This smoke alarm can be used in all residential homes and apartments and positioned in accordance with building
regulations and state legislation. Refer to figure below when deciding the number of and location of smoke alarms.
Avoid dead air space positions. Install smoke alarms along exit paths from bedrooms. Locate alarms in stairways as
stairways act as chimneys for smoke and heat. Locate a smoke alarm in any area where a smoker sleeps or where
electrical appliances are used in bedrooms. Smoke, heat and other combustion materials rise to the ceiling and
spread horizontally. In a residential dwelling, mount the smoke alarm in the centre of the ceiling. In mobile homes,
wall mount the smoke alarm on an inside partition to avoid the thermal barrier that may form under the ceiling.

4Locations to Avoid
Within 1 metre of air conditioner ducts, ceiling fans
and other high air flow areas. Smoke may be blown
away or diffused in these areas.
In areas where the temperature may fall below 0°C
or rise above 45°C. Failure to alarm, improper alarms
or nuisance alarms may result.
In damp or very humid areas such as bathrooms or
laundries, where the normal humidity may rise
above 95% or fall below 5% relative humidity. False
alarms and unstable operation may result.
In areas where particles of combustion are normally
present, such as garages or kitchens, as this can
cause false alarms.
In dusty or dirty areas, as an accumulation of dust
and dirt in the sensing chamber may block the
openings and prevent an alarm, or may cause false
alarms.
Where bugs or insects are present as they may block
the openings and prevent an alarm, or may cause
false alarms.
Within 1 metre of electrical noise sources, e.g.
fluorescent lights, LED lights and fan motors.
Electrical noise may cause nuisance alarms.

6Overview
Your smoke alarm comprises two separate sections each powered independently. The smoke module provides
smoke sensing, alarming and wired interlinking. The option card provides radio interlinking and smart features.
Refer to the relevant sections below for more details. For initial setup of your smoke alarm, refer above to
Installation and Setup.
7Smoke Module
This section relates to smoke alarm operation only. For initial setup of your smoke alarm, refer above to Installation
and Setup. For option card operation, refer below to the option card section. Once power is supplied via the ‘smoke
alarm power switch’ (Refer section ’Smoke Alarm –Bottom View’ Page 1), the smoke alarm is operational. The
‘smoke alarm power switch’ is turned on automatically when the smoke alarm is slid onto the mounting base. If
smoke is detected the alarm will sound and the red LED will flash rapidly. This will continue until the air is cleared of
smoke. During normal operations the red LED flashes once every 5mins and 45secs to indicate that the smoke alarm
and battery backup is functional.
7.1 When the Alarm Sounds
1. Alert small children in the home.
2. Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
3. When leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping
through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If inside 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.
4. Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a wet cloth if possible.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
6. Call the Fire Brigade from your neighbour’s home - not from yours!
7. Don’t return to your home until officials say that it is safe to do so.
For further information on fire safety contact your local Fire Brigade.
7.2 Testing
TEST THE SMOKE ALARM ONCE PER MONTH TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION. Test by pushing the Test+Hush
button on the smoke alarm until the alarm sounds. The alarm will sound if all electronic circuitry, siren and battery
are functional. Any Interlinked alarms will also sound. If no alarm sounds, remove the smoke alarm from its base and
confirm that the Smoke Alarm Power Switch is ON indicated by the symbol ‘I’. If the Smoke Alarm Power Switch is
ON and the alarm still doesn’t sound, replace the smoke alarm. If the smoke alarm is installed in a mobile home, test
weekly and after every journey. After the Test+Hush button has been pressed, wait 10mins before any additional

SmokeSight SS10LNAN V0.9.0
Page 5
testing is conducted to avoid any false alarm responses as the alarm is in reduced sensitivity mode during this
period. Refer to ‘Hush‘.
IMPORTANT: If premises are unoccupied for a period of time (more than a few days) then a battery test should be
undertaken upon return. If the low battery warning sounds, test and replace the battery if necessary.
Never use an open flame of any type to test your alarm. Check that all interlinked smoke alarms operate during
the test.
7.3 Hush
This smoke alarm has a built-in Hush feature incorporated into the Test button. If cooking or other non-hazardous
sources cause the alarm to sound, it can be temporarily silenced by pressing the Test+Hush button. The alarm then
enters a low sensitivity period for 9mins. If the smoke density increases during this period from a smoke or fire
event, the unit will go into alarm mode.
Before using the alarm HUSH feature, identify the source of smoke and be certain that a safe condition exists.
8Option Card
This section relates to option card operation only. For initial setup of your smoke alarm, refer above to Installation
and Setup. For smoke alarm operation, refer above to the smoke alarm module section. This smoke alarm
incorporates an option card that supports the following features:
Auto Test –Automatic alarm, scheduled self-testing
Clap Silence - Hush a false smoke alarm with a hand clap
Escape Lighting –Escape path visibility during an alarm
Radio Interlink –Allows one smoke alarm to activate all smoke alarms wirelessly
During normal operations the white LED flashes once every 5mins to indicate that the option card and battery
backup is functional. Refer to the option card manual for detailed option card operation and configuration details.

3. Apply option card power to the first smoke alarm by inserting its
batteries into the top battery bay of the smoke alarm. The alarm will
listen for networks for 30secs during which the white LED will flash
every 2secs. It will then allocate a unique Home ID to this network
and assign itself as the master node confirmed by 1 Beep/Flash for
3secs. Then it will 5flash + 5beep every 10secs.
4. Apply option card power to the second smoke alarm by inserting its batteries into the top battery bay of the
smoke alarm within 2mins. The alarm will listen for networks during which the white LED will flash every 2secs.
It will then 1 Beep/Flash for 1sec confirming that it has joined the network as a slave and then 5flash + 5beep
every 10secs.
5. Repeat step 4 above on the next alarm, and each subsequent alarm, taking care to only apply option card power
to each alarm after confirmation that the previously powered alarm has joined the network.
6. Slide the ‘smoke alarm power switch’ (Refer section ’Smoke Alarm –Bottom View’ Page 1) to the ‘I’ position
(toward the centre of the alarm) on each alarm.
7. To complete the network setup either 4Tap any node’s Test+Hush button or wait 2mins.
8. On any alarm press the Test+Hush button to check that this alarm and all other interlinked alarms sound. If not,
you will need to perform a ‘Return to Factory Defaults’ and repeat this ‘Initial Setup’. Refer to the option card
manual for detailed option card operation and configuration details.
9. Refer back to the ‘Installation and Setup’ section above to complete the setup
8.3 Auto Test
The Auto Test function provides scheduled, automatic testing of the smoke alarm. Testing consists of momentarily
simulating smoke internal to the smoke alarm which activates the smoke alarm’s siren. The option card listens for
the correct smoke alarm tone and reports an option card alarm if the test failed. The test establishes, on a regular
basis, that the smoke alarm’s smoke sensor, controller and siren are functional. Test duration is 5secs and can be
configured to be performed at a convenient time. The default time is 14days and 0hrs following insertion of the
option card batteries. Refer to the option card manual for detailed option card operation and configuration details.
8.4 Clap Silence
If the smoke alarm is in alarm state, two loud hand claps, approximately 0.5 sec apart, from ground level
immediately below the alarm is equivalent to pressing the Test+Hush button on that alarm. An alarm in alarm state
is evidenced by its red LED flashing rapidly. As clap volume and timing may vary, you may need to repeat clap silence
more than once. The alarm must incorporate an option card for clap silence to function.
8.5 Escape Lighting
If the smoke alarm is in alarm state or receives an interlink signal from a smoke alarm that is in alarm state, the
option card, white LED flashes in high intensity mode. This feature assists evacuation by illuminating the escape path
or could be used to better signal an alarm to a hearing impaired resident.
