Unsuitable Locations
Never
install the smoke detector
•
near to air ducting and strong drafts
•
directly in the apex of pitched roofs (a minimum distance of 30 cm from the apex must be
maintained)
•
in rooms where there is a lot of steam, dust or smoke under normal conditions(e.g. workshops,
kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.)
•
in rooms where the temperature rises above + 40°C or falls below + 5°C.

Installation and Commissioning
•
Remove the smoke detector from ist base
by turning it anticlockwise.
•
Screw the base to the ceiling using the fixing
materials provided (see Fig. 2 for
dimensions).
•
Attach the 9 V rectangular battery to the
connector.
•
Insert the smoke detector into the base and
turn it gently clockwise until it clicks into
place.
Linking Several Smoke Detectors
With the type Relay/Networking smoke detector up to 40 devices can be linked together in one
network. To do this, first remove the plastic protection from the terminal strips. The connection from
detector to detector is by means of a two-core cable (telephone cable), the terminals 3 and 4 (green)
being used as whown in Fig. 3. An external alarm device can be connected to the volt-free contacts
via terminals 1 and 2 (orange).
If an inductive load (e.g. a klexon or a relay of an unknown design) is connected, a free-wheeling
diode (type 1N4007) must be included in the circuit, so that the smoke detector is not damaged by
inductive voltages.
