to it in the event of a problem.
Description of the product
Power supply: DC9V
(Zinc-carbon battery: Gold Peak: GP 1604S)
Power consumption: in monitoring mode: < 10 μA
with alarm < 30 mA
Alarm loudness: > 85 dB(A) in a 3 meters radius
Alarm sensitivity 0.10–0.19 dB/m
Description:
This product is a photoelectric smoke detector operated on a
9V battery (GP 1604S). The battery life is at least 1 year. A
photoelectric smoke detector is sensitive to slow smouldering
fires, which generally produce thick, black smoke at low heat
and smoulder for hours before developing open flames. This
smoke detector does not contain any radioactive or polluting
material.
At least 1 smoke detector should be installed in every room
(except the bathroom) and in every other area of the house. It
must be ensured that the people in the house can hear the
alarm signal and react to it. For a minimum of security, one
smoke detector should be installed in the corridor between the
living and sleeping areas and one smoke detector in each bed-
room.
For a typical one-story dwelling, it is recommended that a
smoke detector be mounted on the ceiling of each bedroom
and in the corridor in front of each individual sleeping area.
If the corridor to the various bedrooms is more than 9 m long,
install a smoke detector at each end of the corridor.
For a typical multi-story dwelling, it is recommended that
one smoke alarm be mounted in the ceiling of each bedroom
and one in the corridor before each sleeping area. If the corri-
dor to the various bedrooms is more than 9 m long, install a
smoke detector at each end of the corridor. Furthermore,
mount a detector at the top of the stairs from the first to the
second floor. If there is a basement, also mount a detector on
the basement ceiling at the foot of the basement stairs.
Important safety information
1: With the test button you can check the correct function of
the smoke detector. Do not use any other test method.
Check the detector once a week to ensure proper operation.
2: Do not remove or disconnect the battery as this would ren-
der the smoke alarm inoperable.
3: This smoke alarm should only be installed by a licensed,
qualified electrician. During installation, all national instal-
lation and building regulations must be observed and fol-
lowed.
4: This smoke detector is designed to be used in apartments or
houses only where people are living. In apartment build-
ings, each individual residential unit must be equipped
with its own smoke detectors. Do not install the smoke de-
tector in any non-residential building. Use of this smoke
detector is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
5: A smoke detector can only detect a fire early in its immedi-
ate vicinity. If a fire starts in a remote part of the house, on
another level not equipped with detectors, in a chimney, a
roof, or on the opposite side of a closed door, the smoke
cannot reach the smoke detector in time and the detector
cannot trigger the alarm in time.

6: Despite the loudness of the alarm signal, there may be situa-
tions in which individuals do not hear the alarm, e.g., be-
cause of noise inside or outside the house, when they are in
a deep sleep, after taking medication, drugs, or alcohol, or
in the case of hearing impairment or any other restriction. If
you suspect that the GS506G smoke detector cannot ade-
quately warn a member of the household, use a special de-
tector instead that meets higher alarm requirements. The
person concerned must be able to react quickly to the alarm
to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death in the event of
a fire. If a member of the household is hard of hearing, in-
stall a special smoke detector that reliably warns the person
concerned using light signals or vibrations.
7: The GS506G smoke detector can only trigger an alarm if it
detects smoke or combustion particles in the air. The detec-
tor does not respond to heat, flame, or gas. The warning
function of this smoke detector is based on the emission of
an acoustic warning signal. In unfavourable cases, however,
fires can spread very quickly or explosively. Likewise, a fire
may have been started intentionally or through carelessness.
In such cases, there may be situations where the detector
does not trigger an alarm FAST ENOUGH and a safe es-
cape is therefore not guaranteed.
8: Careful handling is a prerequisite for the correct functioning
of the smoke detector. This also means that the detector
must not be manipulated and that it must not be misused ei-
ther intentionally or negligently. A smoke alarm does not
guarantee the prevention of bodily harm or property damage
and should never be considered a substitute for life and
property insurance. Like any technical product, a smoke de-
tector can also fail. You must therefore check every detector
weekly and replace it completely after 10 years at the latest.
9: The area monitored by a single detector must not be larger
than 60 m².
10: If the room height is more than 6 m, use an additional
smoke detector.
11: If there are ceiling beams with a height of more than
20 cm
and the individual ceiling areas between the beams have an
area of more than 36 m², additional smoke detectors must be
installed in the ceiling areas. If the ceiling beams height is less
than 20 cm, install a detector in the middle of the ceiling and
not on a beam.

Battery specifications
Nominal voltage:
DC 9V (zinc-carbon battery: Gold Peak: GP 1604S)
Replacing the battery
1. Turn the smoke alarm anti-clockwise. Then take out the
alarm part.
2. Take out the battery. Insert the new battery correctly (see
fig. 1).
3. Place the new battery in the battery holder. Re-install the
alarm part. Turn it clockwise (see fig. 2).
4. Press the test button for at least 5 seconds to test the smoke
detector. The sound pattern consists of 3 short signal tones,
a pause of 1.5 seconds, and the repetition of the signal
tones. If the smoke detector does not sound during the test,
there is either a fault or it has been installed incorrectly. In
this case, read the “Troubleshooting” section.
5. After each battery change, the proper function of the
smoke detector must be checked using the test method.
WARNING:
Neither the smoke detector nor the battery must be heated di-
rectly, and any contact with liquids must be avoided.

The smoke detector must not be used in the fol-
lowing areas:
1. Near flammable electrical appliances or in areas such as in
the kitchen, near furniture, or water heaters. If necessary,
you must install a suitable special smoke detector in such
areas.
2. In areas with high temperatures –e.g., near dishwashers or
washing machines –the smoke detector must be installed at
a distance of at least 3 meters from these machines.
3. The smoke detector must be installed at a distance of at
least 1 meter near air conditioning systems or ex-
haust/supply ventilation or fans. Smoke disperses very
quickly in the immediate vicinity of these machines. The
smoke detector cannot react reliably to smoke under these
environmental conditions.
4. In rooms with an ambient temperature below 4 °C or above
37 °C.
5. In very dusty or dirty areas and in areas where there are a
lot of insects.
Testing the smoke detector:
Test each detector regularly to ensure that it is correctly in-
stalled and is working properly.
1: Do not use an open flame to test the detector (risk of fire!).
2: Test each smoke detector once a week. Also check the de-
tector immediately after returning if you have been away
from home for a few days or weeks.
3: Keep an arm’s length away from the detector during the
test.
Test the smoke alarm by performing the following steps:
4: Press the test button for at least 5 seconds. The alarm
sounds in the form of 3 short tones. After a 1.5-seconds
pause, the signal sounds again. This repeats itself until you
release the button. The alarm signal may continue to sound
for a few seconds after releasing the test button.
ATTENTION: If the alarm sounds without the test button
being pressed, the device detects smoke.
THE ALERT SIGNAL REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE
ATTENTION AND REACTION.
Maintaining and cleaning
In addition to the weekly checks, the battery must be re-
placed annually. Use high quality batteries. The necessary
steps can be found in the “Replacing the battery” section.
The detector must be cleaned at least once a month. Before
cleaning, remove the battery.
Use a soft brush to clean the smoke detector. Make sure that
the ventilation slots are free of dust. If necessary, clean the
cover of the smoke detector with a damp cloth.
Make sure that the battery compartment is properly closed and
that no water can get into the device.
After cleaning, reinsert the battery and then carry out a func-
tion test by pressing the test button.
Important instructions:
1: Never open the housing to clean the interior. This can
cause damage or shorten the life of the smoke detector.
2: Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.
Repair
Caution: Never repair a defective smoke detector yourself. If
the smoke alarm should no longer work within the warranty
period, return it in the original box to the dealer from whom
you purchased it. If the smoke detector stops working after
the warranty period has expired, have it repaired by a pro-
fessional or replace the device.
Train fire safety measures:
If the alarm sounds without the test button being pressed, this
is a warning of a dangerous situation. You must react to it
IMMEDIATELY. To be prepared for such an event, you
should think over escape plans for your family. Discuss the

plans with all household members and do exercises regularly.
1: Inform all residents about the function of the smoke detec-
tor. Trigger the alarm signal with the test button and explain
what the alarm means.
2: Identify two exits from each room and an escape route from
each room exit to the outside.
3: Teach all residents to use an alternate exit if the door be-
comes unusable. Make it clear that hot or burning doors
must not be opened.
4: Teach all household members to crawl on the floor to stay
below hazardous smoke, fumes, and gases.
5: Designate a safe meeting place for all residents outside of
the building.
How to react in case of fire:
1. Do not panic, keep presence of mind!
2. Get out of the burning building as quickly as possible.
Check the temperature of a door before opening it. If the
door has a high temperature, leave the room through anoth-
er safety exit. Walk calmly, and do not try to take anything
with you.
3. Meet at the agreed meeting point.
4. Call the fire brigade immediately after leaving the scene of
the fire.
5. Never return to the burning building. Wait until the fire has
been extinguished.
Note: This information can help you to escape from the scene
of the fire. To generally reduce the risk of a fire, you should
carry out regular fire safety training.
Rectification of a fault
Do not under any circumstances disassemble the smoke detec-
tor components to stop the alarm while checking or in the
event of a false alarm. Immediately open the window or turn
on a fan to expel any harmless smoke that may be present.
Warranty period of the smoke detector:
The warranty period for the smoke detector is limited to
3 years. The manufacturer provides a 3-year warranty from the
date of purchase. During this time, the manufacturer is respon-
sible for any technical problems that occur with the device.
After the warranty period has expired, the manufacturer is no
longer responsible for technical problems with the smoke de-
tector. If your smoke detector does not work properly within
the warranty period, return it to your dealer with a description
of the fault. Read the instructions for use completely and care-
fully before installing the smoke detector.
Determining the appropriate mounting locations:
·Install a smoke detector in the bedroom and on the escape
route. If there are more than one bedroom, install a smoke
detector in each bedroom.
·Also install a smoke alarm in the stairwell or on each floor.
·Mount the detectors in the middle of the ceiling so that the
alarm can be heard throughout the room.
·If the smoke detector cannot be mounted in the middle of
