IMPORTANT NOTICE
DUST & INSECT CONTAMINATION
All Smoke Alarms and particularly the optical
(photoelectric) type are prone to dust and insect ingress
which can cause false alarms.
The latest design, materials and manufacturing
techniques have been used in the construction of our
Alarms to minimize the effects of contamination.
However it is impossible to completely eliminate the
effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to
prolong the life of the Smoke Alarm you must ensure that
it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any
insects or cobwebs in the vicinity of the Smoke Alarm
should be promptly removed.
In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning,
contamination can build up in the smoke sensing
chamber causing the alarm to sound. If this happens the
alarm must be returned to us for servicing or
replacement. Contamination is beyond our control, it is
totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and
tear. For this reason, contamination is not covered by the
guarantee and a charge is made for all servicing work.
If you experience persistent false alarms, in particular
locations, due to contamination of the smoke chamber
you could consider fitting our ionisation type Smoke
Alarm. The principle of ionisation detection makes it less
vulnerable to the effects of dust or insect contamination.
