• Locate alarm at least 1.5m and route any interconnectedwiring at least 1m away from
fluorescent light fittings as electrical “noise” and/or flickering may affect the Alarm.
3. Installation
Installation Procedure
1. Select a location complying with the advice in Section 2.
2. Remove the mounting plate from the Smoke Alarm by twisting it in an
anti-clockwise direction (see Figure 5).
3. Place the mounting plate on the ceiling exactly
where you want to mount the Alarm. With a
pencil, mark the location of the two screw holes.
4. If interconnecting Smoke Alarms using
hard-wired connections, run suitable twin core
cabling to the marked locations of each Alarm.
Make the connections to the Alarm (see Section 4).
5. Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the
ceiling, drill holes using a 5.0mm drill bit through
the centre of the marked locations. Push the
plastic screw anchors provided into the drilled
holes. Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling.
If using Ra Smoke Alarms then they
should be mounted with antennas in the same
orientation (i.e. essentially parallel). This means
