5. INSTALLATION
Warning:
The Alarm
must
be installed by a
competent person.
The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted,
using its own built-in terminal block to connect it to
the mains wiring. The mounting plate can be screwed
directly to the ceiling/wall. Alternatively it can be
screwed to a standard junction box (BS 4662 single
gang accessory box). The alarm requires a current
of 60mA. The Alarm must not be exposed to dripping
or splashing. There are important markings on the
underside of the alarm.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTION: Do not install the
actual 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 sensor and cause problems,
it will also invalidate the guarantee). If it must be
installed, cover it completely, particularly around
the edges, with a suitable covering, until all
cleaning is finished.
The Alarm must
not
be connected when the house
wiring insulation is being checked with high Voltages
i.e. do not use an insulation tester on the alarm.
Do not use the CO Alarm on an intermittent
basis, or as a portable detector for the spillage
of combustion products from fuel burning
appliances or chimneys.
Mains operated Alarms should be installed
and interconnected by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the Requirements for Electrical
Installations published by the Institution of
Electrical Engineers (as BS7671). Failure to
install this Alarm correctly may expose the user
to shock or fire hazards.
