The advantages of optical smoke detectors are that they are robust and
reliable, and do not need large expensive batteries.
Audible Alarm Sounder
The DET-RSMOKE uses a piezo electric sounder that produces at least 85dB(A) of sound
3m away from the detector. The volume of the alarm sound can be reduced by
distance, closed doors, heavy drapes or positioning the detector behind
furniture or other items.
Radio Signaling
The DET-RSMOKE transmits radio signals on 868.6625 MHz, a frequency within the
harmonized range in Europe for alarm signaling. The alarm signals generated by
the DET- RSMOKE are designed for Eaton
’s Security Business control units and
receivers. Radio signals from the DET-RSMOKE can be absorbed and/or
reflected by metal structures, wire mesh, heat retaining window films, cabling,
metallic pipework and any other metallic items. For a detailed explanation of the
factors affecting radio
transmission please read “Guidance Notes for Wireless
Alarm System Installations”, available to touchpoint members at
www.coopersecurity.co.uk
under the “Support - Installation Assistance for
Wireless Sys
tems” tab.
You must position the detector in a suitable place that does not absorb its
signals, or contains other transmitters that can interfere with those signals.
Where to Place the Detector
All the factors described above mean that there are good places to site the detector to
ensure that it will detect smoke reliably, give a clearly audible alarm, and provide a strong
