1. Safety instructions
• The smoke alarm generates a powerful and shrill noise, which can be harmful to your ears. Keep at least a 50 cm
distance from the alarm while performing the function test.
• Never paint the smoke alarm.
• Smoke alarms will always identify the smoke of a fire. They will not identify the flame itself.
• Smoke alarms are not able to extinguish any fire. In case of alarm evacuate the building and call the fire service.
• The smoke alarm is capable to survey only a defined zone around its own position. For optimum protection, ensure
that a sufficient number of alarms are installed in the area to be monitored.
• The smoke alarm has a built-in battery, please dispose properly according to WEEE.
• Do not dispose into a fire or a hot oven, or by mechanically crushing or cutting. It could lead to explosion or
leakage of flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not use, store or carry it any place where it may be exposed to extremely high temperature or extremely low air
pressure.
• Never charge the battery that comes with the smoke alarm.
• Do not use other battery than the built-in.

2. Introduction
The interconnected smoke alarm is a wireless smoke alarm designed to detect smoke and give an early warning if
a fire should start. It can easily be connected to other smoke alarms to form a system. If one smoke alarm detects
smoke and triggers an alarm, radio signals are sent to other smoke alarms and all alarms will sound. The system can
include up to 15 smoke alarms (including controller device).
The smoke alarm has a range of up to 100 metres depending on its position, the design of the building and the
materials used in the building. A communication test should always be performed after installation.
The smoke alarm can be used stand-alone or connected to a Tunstall hub through social alarm radio to communicate
with the alarm receiver or ARC (Alarm Receiving Center) operator.
2.1. Functionality
• Battery powered interconnected radio smoke alarm using the scattered light method
• Early and reliable fire detection through precise adjustment of the release characteristics
• Outstanding operating safety by intelligent analysis of the measuring chamber signal
• Light guide for evacuation
• Voice alarm gives clear indication of what the danger is and where it is located
• Provides precise smoke detection and powerful alarm signal of more than 85 dB(A) close to the alarm in case of fire
• Operating temperature range –10°C up to +55°C
• Wireless linking to a hub, via 869 MHz European Social Alarm Frequency
• Wireless interconnection between smoke alarms using 868 MHz Frequency
• Typical radio frequency range 100 metres in open air
2.1.1. Power on/off
The smoke alarm is delivered with the bracket mounted in a shipping position (upside down).
Power on

2.1.4. Guide light
A white guide light will illuminate the floor if an alarm is triggered.
2.1.5. Cancel function
The smoke alarm has a cancel function, which allows you to turn off the alarm signal in the event of a false alarm.
NOTE
When you turn off the alarm signal, the LED will stay on for 10 minutes.
When the smoke alarm is in the smoke alarm state, you can halt sounding temporarily by pressing the front button
(0.2 to 1 seconds). The temporary alarm halt duration is 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the smoke alarm returns to
normal operating mode (it will start sounding again if the fire alarm state remains).
2.1.6. Speech messages

2.1.7. Alarm state
If a smoke alarm detects smoke an alarm is triggered. The device will beep and announce "Warning Fire Alarm", and
the LED is flashing red.
A white guide light will illuminate the floor.
Using the interconnection function, other smoke alarms will also be beeping and flashing red. They will also announce
"Warning Fire Alarm in another room".
When the smoke alarm restores from alarm state, it will stop beeping and flashing, and notify restore status to the
hub.
2.1.8. Communication tests
Communication test (auto presence) - Every 23 hours the communication between the hub and the smoke alarms is
automatically tested.
7

Communication test (interconnection) - Every 25 hours the communication between the interconnected smoke
alarms is automatically tested.
2.2. What´s in the box
The smoke alarm box contains:
• Smoke alarm (built-in, non-replaceable batteries included)
• Bracket (the smoke alarm is delivered with the bracket mounted in a shipping position (upside down)

5. Dining room
For minimum protection
- Smoke alarm on each storey
- Every 7.5 metres of hallways and escape routes
- Within 3 metres of all bedroom doors
For recommended protection (in addition to the above):
- Smoke alarms in every room (except kitchens and bath-
rooms)
- Heat alarms located in kitchens, garages etc. within
5.3m of potential fire sources
4.1. Ceiling mounting
Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended location. The air is “dead” and
does not move in corners, therefore smoke alarms must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 300mm from
10

walls and corners. Additionally, mount the alarm at least 300mm from any light fitting or decorative object which
might prevent smoke entering the smoke alarm. We do not recommend wall mounting of smoke alarms.

1. Ideal in centre of ceiling
2. Dead air surfaces never within 300mm of any corner
4.2. On a sloping ceiling
With a sloping or peaked ceiling install a smoke alarm within 600mm of the peak (measured vertically). If this height is
less than 600mm it is regarded as being flat.

4.3. Environmental properties
Intended use Indoor
Mounting position Ceiling only
Operating temperature -10 to +55 degrees Celsius
Operating humidity Max: 90%
4.4. Unsuitable places for installation
To avoid false alarms and malfunctions, never install the smoke alarm:
• inside rooms where heavy vapor, dust or smoke develop under regular conditions (bath, kitchen).
• near to fireplaces and open fires.
• near to ventilation systems. The flow of air may deviate the smoke so it will never reach the alarm.
• near to neon lamps and energy saving lamps. The starter may cause false alarms by electric fields that arise when
turning on the lamp (minimum distance: 50cm)
• in edges, for example house gables, in such areas smoke free air can accumulate and the identification of fire is
hindered
• inside rooms with temperatures beneath -10°C or above +55°C
