Smoke detector FMR 4030

This smoke detector has been designed to provide an early

warning in the event of ﬁ re. As soon as smoke enters the device,
an alarm is triggered. The device does not detect ﬂ ames. Many ﬁ res
occur at night. As we have no sense of smell while sleeping but wake
up when we hear a noise, smoke detectors are an eff ective way of
providing an early warning of the danger.
Field of application:

apartments, houses

Alarm signal:

acoustic signal with approx. 85 dB/3 m

Contact your local ﬁ re service or insurance company for information
about what to do in the event of ﬁ re. These establishments can
provide you with relevant leaﬂ ets underlining the importance of
installing smoke detectors.

Mounting location

For optimum protection of your home, install smoke detectors in all
rooms, corridors, basements, cellars and store rooms. To ensure
minimum protection of your home, install one smoke detector in the
corridor, one in the staircase on each ﬂ oor and one in each bedroom

Fig. A

. In ﬂ ats with several apartments, each family should install their

own smoke detector.
• Do not install the detector in the bathroom or garage.

  Only install it in the kitchen if it can be mounted at least 4 metres
  away from the oven and similar heat sources.
•  Do not install the detector in drafty areas, e.g. near a ventilator
  shaft where the circulation of air could prevent the smoke from
  reaching the detector.
•  Do not install the detector in dusty environments or rooms

  with high ambient humidity.
•  Do not install the detector in the loft as, in the event of ﬁ re,
  smoke-free air can accumulate in this area. In areas with roofs
  which slope by more than 30° and which have a total ceiling
  height of up to 6 m, observe a distance of 30-50 cm from the
  highest point. On roofs which slope by less than 30°, mount the
  detector on the pitched roof area

Fig. B

• Observe a minimum distance of 50 cm from walls, ceiling joints
(beams)

Fig. C

and lights

Fig. D

• Mount the detector in the centre of the ceiling, maintaining

a distance of at least 4 m from open ﬁ replaces and ovens

Fig. F

• Several detectors need to be installed in rooms of over
60 m

and corridors measuring over 10 m.

Mounting/Operation

Fix the mounting plate to the ceiling using the screws and dowels
provided

Fig. E

. Connect the battery (provided) to the battery clip

Fig. G1

. The test key LED

(Fig. H1)

will ﬂ ash brieﬂ y approx. every 32

seconds to indicate that the battery has been ﬁ tted correctly. Perform
a function test (see Test/Maintenance). Position the detector on the
mounting plate and turn in a clockwise direction until it clicks into
place. The mounting lock

(Fig. G2)

prevents the detector from being

mounted if the battery is not ﬁ tted correctly.

Performance check/Maintenance

Press the test key

(Fig. H2)

until the alarm is enabled.

This tests correct operation of the smoke chamber, pulsating
electronics and battery. If everything is operating correctly, the alarm
will be loud and pulsating. Perform a test at least once a month
and every time you replace the batteries. The device automatically
performs a test every 32 seconds. The LED

Fig. H1

ﬂ ashes brieﬂ y to

indicate this. If the detector is faulty, the red LED will ﬂ ash approx.
every 32seconds

alternately

with the audible signal.

Note:

The interval between each audible signal may be slightly longer

than 32 seconds. To correct the fault, remove the batteries for 10
minutes. Reconnect the battery and press the test key

Fig. H1

until

the alarm is activated. If this does not correct the problem, replace
the detector.
If the battery voltage falls below the minimum value, the detector will
beep approx. every 32 seconds and,

simultaneously

, the LED will

ﬂ ash for approx. 30 days to remind you to replace the batteries. When
necessary (usually about twice a year) wipe the device with a clean,
dry cloth and clean with a vacuum cleaner.

Additional notes

•  Make sure the battery is ﬁ tted correctly.
•  Always test the device after replacing the battery.
•  The use of heat and smoke detectors does not exempt

  you from your obligation to insure your property.
•  You may not hear the alarm if you are a deep sleeper
  or under the inﬂ uence of alcohol or drugs.
•  We recommend that several detectors be used in
  rooms of over 60 m

or corridors of over 10 m.

•  Disposing of used batteries in household waste is
  strictly forbidden. Dispose of batteries in shops with
  recycling facilities.
•  In the event of technical problems, contact the
  manufacturer or your specialist dealer.

Replace the detector every 10 years.

Battery and rechargeable battery information

Used batteries must not be disposed of as unsorted household
waste. Used batteries must be recycled and may be returned
free-of-charge to the place of sale. Batteries contain

substances which are harmful to the environment and to human
health and must therefore be disposed of correctly.

Recycling instructions

This device must not be disposed of with unsorted house hold
waste. Owners of old devices are required by law todispose of
this device correctly. Contact your town council for further
information.

Correct action in the event of a ﬁ re

Keep calm! Alert the ﬁ re service.
It is important that the ﬁ re service is told the following information:

• Your name (name, phone number)
• The location of the ﬁ re (address)
• What has happened (extent of ﬁ re)
• How many people are injured
• Then wait to see if the operator has any questions.
Alert all the people who live with you.
Help aged, sick and disabled persons.
Close all windows and doors.
Do not use lifts.
If you have any doubts as to whether or not it is a genuine alarm, still
act as if there is a real ﬁ re.
