Wall Mounting
(Smoke Alarm only)
When a ceiling position is not practical (for example on a
ceiling having exposed beams or joists, or built-in radiant
heating) put the top edge of your Smoke Alarm between 150
and 300mm (6 and 12 inches) below the ceiling. Keep at least
300mm (12 inches) from room corners. (see figure 3).
Wall mounting is not recommended for Heat Alarms.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT PRECAUTION:
Do not install the actual
smoke/heat alarm itself in new or renovated buildings until
all
work is completed (including floor coverings) and the building
has been fully cleaned. The wiring can be installed when
appropriate. (Excessive dust and debris from building work
can contaminate the smoke chamber and cause problems, it
will also invalidate the guarantee). If it must be installed, cover
it completely, particularly around the edges, with a dust cover
(eg. a plastic bag), until all cleaning is finished.
For the Smoke Alarms
remove the cover by opening with the
tab and, then separating at the rear snap-in hinges by folding
over backwards. For the Heat Alarms just leave the cover
open, as it is attached to the base by wires. Connect wires to
the unit as in wiring diagram (see figure 5), using the terminal
block. Low voltage / low current cable is required, consistent
with the number of Smoke/Heat Alarms on the circuit. The
