The SA-18 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the
first stage. If smoke develops, the SA-18 will give a loud beep
of at least 85dB (A). As part of the link function all the smoke
alarms within range will sound the alarm. We advice to test the
smoke detectors weekly using the test button on the detectors. Save
this manual in a safe place or inside of the electricity meter cupboard.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS FOR THE SA-18:
•
Install the first smoke detector near the bedroom. Ensure that it
is placed so, if it would detect fire, at least one exit route would
still be accessible. We recommend to place one alarm near each
potential blockade of your exit route, so you are alerted before a
fire would block off escape.
•
Use multiple smoke detectors to increase safety and ensure an alert
before the escape route is blocked.
•
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your house.
•
Install at least one smoke detector in each room where people
smoke or where there is equipment that may potentially cause a fire.
•
Smoke and heat will first move upwards towards the ceiling;
after that the smoke and heat will travel horizontally.
•
Install the detector on the ceiling. Except for rooms smaller
than 1m, you should stay at least 50 cm away from the wall and
61cm from any corner. Smoke and heat do not gather in such
corners, preventing the detector from alerting you on time.
DO NOT INSTALL IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
•
The kitchen; Steam from cooking might give a false alarm.
•
The shower or bathroom; water damp might cause a false alarm
and the moist environment might damage the detector.
•
The garage: The car exhaust might cause a false alarm.
•
In front of a fan or nearby the exhaust of an air conditioner or heater.
•
In a ceiling nook.
•
In rooms where the temperature could reach below -10°C or
beyond 40°C.
•
Do not paint or otherwise cover this smoke detector.
