CHOOSING A LOCATION
Smoke alarms should be installed as
a minimum level of equipment in
all bedrooms, children’s rooms and
corridors that are used as escape
routes; one alarm should be fitted in
the centre of each room, and only on
the ceiling (no wall mounting) (Fig. 2).
Select the highest point in the room
for mounting, with a minimum dis-
tance of 50 cm from any wall, furni-
ture or lamps. Your installation is
optimised by also installing the
devices in all other rooms as well as
on all landings. This device is also
designed for use in kitchens (the
number one source of fire!).
A smoke alarm is not normally
required in washrooms (bathroom,
WC etc.) due to the low fire risk in
these rooms.
Please observe the illustrations in
this manual!
In the event of a fire, this device
quickly detects the build-up of smoke
and also the associated rise in tempe-
rature in the room. In order to warn
you in good time, it then emits a
loud alarm sound. If you decide that
there is no real need to escape the
building you can temporarily deacti-
vate this signal (for approx. 10 minutes),
or temporarily disable it before soun-
ding, by gently pressing the Test/Stop
button (Fig. 1, IV). We recommend that
you then provide good ventilation to
the room to prevent the alarm being
triggered again.
