Where should Smoke Detectors be fitted?
Smoke detectors should be sited at least 300mm from light fittings and walls, ideally as centrally as possible in the room.
Smoke detectors should be positioned no more than 600mm below the highest point in the room. If positioning on the wall, the
top of the smoke detector must be between 150mm and 300mm below the ceiling and at least 300mm from a wall.
Thermoptek smoke detectors are less prone to false alarms from cooking fumes and are therefore suitable for locating near
kitchens. Like other smoke detectors they can be susceptible to nuisance alarms from steam and should not be placed near
bathrooms. Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for more information on positioning.
Typical Tools Required
Be careful when using step ladders –always face the direction you are working.
Always make sure the correct drill bits and screwdrivers are used.
A drill and screwdriver are not required if the self adhesive pads are used.
How to install a Smoke Detector
Make sure you have read and understood the instructions on positioning the detector before starting.
The base plate must be securely fixed to the ceiling or wall.
Use the fixing slots on the base plate as a guide when marking the position of the drill holes.
Fix with the screws and plugs provided.
Alternatively, the base plate can be fixed with the self-adhesive pads provided.
Ensure the surface is smooth, clean and dry.
Press hard to make sure the self-adhesive pads are properly adhered.
Position the detector on the base plate then twist it clockwise until the detector is
fully locked in position.
The battery power will now be switched on and the red light will flash once
every 45 seconds to show that it is active.
IMPORTANT: when the smoke detector is fitted to the base plate it enters a power-up initialization period.
It is possible the first Test/ button press will be missed during this period. All subsequent Test/ button presses will function
correctly. Smoke will always be detected during the initialization period.
WARNING:Removing the smoke detector from its base plate will de-activate the unit and prevent it from detecting smoke.
How to test the Smoke Detector
Press the Test/ button in the centre and release.
The red light on the detector will flash rapidly during the audible signal.
The unit will sound an audible alarm consisting of 2 cycles of 3 loud beeps,
then stop automatically
The Test/ button is used during installation to register the smoke
detector onto the warden call system, at-home alarm or Nursecall system.
See the following pages for how to put each of these products into registration mode.
The range of all radio devices can be affected by the working environment.
Always take care during installation and perform several test calls.

Alarm Condition
The unit will repeatedly sound 3 loud beeps and the red light will flash every second.
Check if there is a fire hazard and leave the building.
DANGER:Never ignore any alarm. If you are not certain of the cause, leave the building immediately.
Alarm Silence
In the event of a known false alarm you can temporarily silence the smoke detector by pressing the central Test/ button.
The detector will automatically return to full sensitivity after 10 minutes. NOTE: If the level of smoke reaching the detector is very
high the alarm silence will be overridden, and the alarm will continue to sound.
Normal Operation
The red light will flash once every 45 seconds to indicate normal operation.
Low Battery Condition
If the unit chirps every 45 seconds and the yellow light flashes at the same time, this indicates the battery is running low.
The low battery condition will also be reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or the local Manager.
The telecare transmitter module also contains a battery - this is self-tested once a day, if it’s low for 7 consecutive days a low
battery condition will be reported once a week.
The complete smoke detector should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.
Sleep Easy Feature
Low battery warnings often start at night or when it may be inconvenient to replace the detector.
You can silence the audible ‘low battery’ chirp for a period of eight hours by pressing the Test/ button.
After this period the audible chirp will start again. This process can be repeated a maximum of 10 times.
The detector will still detect smoke during this time, however it must be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.
Fault Condition
If the unit chirps every 45 seconds and the yellow light flashes 20-25 seconds after, this indicates a fault condition.
Replace the smoke detector immediately.
Maintenance
Test the smoke detector once every week.
Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment.
Do not use solvents or cleaners on the smoke detector as they may cause damage to the sensor, the unit can be wiped with a
damp cloth.
Do not paint the smoke detector as this may block the vents and prevent smoke from entering the sensor.
Disposal
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste.
The smoke detector is ideally suited for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme.
Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.
Warning
The smoke detector contains a powerful Lithium battery.
If tampered with the battery may be damaged and create a fire hazard.
No attempt should be made to open the case or remove the battery.
Do not incinerate.
