As a minimum requirement
RM
,
smoke alarms should be installed in
all bedrooms, children’s rooms and
corridors that function as escape
routes, only in the middle of the
ceiling (no wall mounting).
Choose the highest point to install
the unit, ensuring that it is posi-
tioned at least 50 cm away from
surrounding walls, furniture and
lamps. To provide optimum protec-
tion
RM
for your home, install units
in all the other rooms and in the
stairwells. The unit is also suitable
for use in the kitchen (the most com-
mon location for household fires).
In most cases, there is no need to
install a smoke alarm in washrooms
(bathrooms, toilets, etc.) such rooms
represent a low fire risk.
Please observe the diagrams included
in these instructions.
The unit can detect a fire early on
on the basis of the rising smoke and
the connected temperature increase
in the temperature in the room.
In the event of fire, a loud alarm tone
sounds as a warning. If you are sure
that there is no genuine need to evac-
uate the building, you can temporar-
ily deactivate the alarm tone (for roughly
10 minutes) or disable the tone before
it is activated by gently pressing the
unit’s test and stop button (IV).
In such a case, it is advisable to venti-
late the affected rooms well to prevent
the alarm from being activated a
second time.
BATTERY FAULT WARNING
If a single brief signalling tone (“beep”)
sounds roughly every 90 seconds, the
battery capacity is low. If a double
brief signalling tone (“beep-beep”)
sounds roughly every 90 seconds, the
unit is no longer able to filter out
imperfections in the detection optics.
Both signalling tones can be tempo-
rarily deactivated (for 24 hours) by
pressing the test and stop button (IV).
If the smoke alarm is emitting either
of the above-described signalling
• Heat alarm tone: single beep, once
a second
• Smoke alarm tone: double beep,
once a second
