1. RECOMMENDED PLACES TO MOUNT THE DETECTOR
Depending on the layout and the surface area of the dwelling, several smoke detectors may be required to ensure minimum
protection and guarantee efficient detection, the range of the alarm and quick evacuation of the dwelling.
Recommended installation
Standard installation
Locate the detector in line with the current building standards.
Ceiling mounting:
Install the detector to the ceiling in the centre of the room,
minimum 30 cm from corners, walls, beams or any other obstacles.
Wall mounting:
Install the detector to the wall at a distance ranging between
30 cm and 60 cm from the ceiling.
Mounting on a sloped ceiling:
Install the detector at a distance ranging between 30 cm
and 60 cm vertically from the highest point of the ceiling.

2. PLACES TO BE AVOIDED
Do not install the smoke detector:
Outside
In a place where the alarm will be difficult to hear (room with closed door)
In a place where the detector
will be difficult to reach, in particular to perform tests
In a place where the temperature is lower than 4°C or higher than
45°C
In a place where humidity is less than 10% or exceeds 95% (bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, etc.)
In a place
subject to high and/or rapid temperature, pressure or humidity variations
In a place where the sunlight hits directly on the
detector
In a dusty or dirty area (garage, workshop, etc.)
In a place where there are a lot of insects
In a place where
spurious smoke may disturb the smoke detector: kitchen, chimney, garage (exhaust gas), furnaces, boiler rooms, combustion
3. INSTALLATION
Commissioning the smoke detector
Comply with the following commissioning procedure:
Activate the single-use switch (1)
Wait a few seconds then press the button of the detector for 3 seconds until
the alarm sounds, then release it for the alarm to stop (2)
The detector initialises for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes,
the detector is operational. The red diode will then flash every 5 and
a half minutes indicating that the detector is working properly.
Mounting the smoke detector
The screws and wall plugs supplied with the detector should preferably be used
to mount your smoke detector.
Comply with the following procedure:
Select an appropriate location on the ceiling or the wall to mount the detector
Remove the mounting base (3)
Use a pencil to mark the screw holes in the intended place on the ceiling or the wall
Drill two holes to match the screws with equipment suited to the type of ceiling
Insert the nylon wall plugs supplied
Clean the area with a dry cloth to remove any dust
Screw the mounting base into the ceiling(4)
(1)
(2)
The drawing inside the mounting base shows how to position
the detector across from its mounting base and the final position
of the detector once it is clipped in
Place your detector on the mounting base by aligning the single-use switch with
the circular hole of the mounting base (5)
Turn it slightly towards the right. The detector must fit into the mounting base
Turn the detector by a quarter turn towards the right to clip it in: you must hear
a click indicating that your detector has been properly secured into
its mounting base (6)
Make sure that your detector is completely secured to the ceiling

4. BATTERY
The smoke detector has a maximum service life of 10 years. Beyond this limit,
it will no longer operate at peak efficiency. Your detector and its remote control
are fitted with a high-performance battery that has a duration of 10 years*. This
battery cannot be replaced. The detector and the remote control are sealed and
will operate throughout their entire service life The end of the battery life means
that you must change your detector and/or remote control.
5. MAINTENANCE
Clean the detector every month:
Remove dust from the detector with an antistatic cloth or with the brush end-fitting of your vacuum cleaner
Clean the upper edges of the detector with an antistatic cloth
Immediately remove any insect, spider web or dust accumulated around your detect
CAUTION: Do not use a compressed air spray or equivalent
Standard installation
- on each floor
- in hallways and/or stairwells
- between rest areas (bedrooms), the possible ignition sources
(garage, area with a high electrical system, etc.) and exits
leading outside of your home (door, window)
Recommended installation
Place a detector:
- on each floor, every 7 m
- in each stairwell per level
- in each room (1 for 50 m²), except in the kitchen
and the bathroom (refer to paragraph 2: Places to
be avoided)
It is recommended to install smoke detectors:
- less than 7 m from possible ignition sources
- less than 7 m from rest areas (3 m if the doors are closed)
- less than 7 m from exits
radiators, etc.
Close to heating appliances, windows, ventilation ducts, air conditioners, fans or any other item of equipment
that may produce air flows
Close to an area that is hotter or cooler than the rest of the room (non-insulated walls, hatches,
etc.)
Less than 1.5 m from obstacles preventing the smoke from accessing the detector (decorative objects, walls, doors,
plants, chandeliers, curtains, etc.)
Less than 1.5 m from lighting appliances (ceiling light, incandescent lamps, halogen or
fluorescent lamps, etc.)
Less than 1.5 m from electrical appliances or their wiring.
6. PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITS OF USE
For your safety, please comply with the following measures:
You must follow all instructions in this manual. Please bear in mind that it may be dangerous to mute or switch off the
detector or to refuse to replace your detector when specified by the manual.
Do not install the detector in one of the
situations described in paragraph 2 “Places to be avoided”.
Do not paint or cover the detector.
Do not block the detector
openings.
Do not disassemble, modify or damage the detector.
Do not place bare ignition sources such as lighted candles
underneath the detector.
The detector must remain in place at all times.
The detector is not a transportable product.
To
avoid accidents, the detector must be safely secured to the ceiling or wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
The detector is unable to detect fires outside of the dwellings.
The detector will not be able to detect a fire if an insufficient
quantity of smoke reaches the detector sensor (smouldering fire, fire too far away, etc.). It is recommended to install several
detectors for optimum safety.
The detector cannot be used for people who are hearing impaired.
The manufacturer recom-
mends a monthly maintenance of the detectors.
It is dangerous to suspect a false alarm as the smoke preceding the onset
of the flames are toxic and may cause you to lose consciousness: despite the absence of flames, a fire may blaze up in a few
minutes.
If false alarms are frequent, you may need to change the location of your detector and move it further away from
the sources of false alarms.
The maximum date of commissioning must not exceed 5 years after the date of manufacture
affixed to the detector.
The detector must not be used after the maximum specified use-by date: the maximum use-by date
is equal to the date of manufacture affixed to the de 10 years.
The detector must no longer be used and must be
replaced subsequent to a fire or after a significant amount of smoke or under abnormal conditions.
The detector is designed to have a service life of 10 years* enabling it:
To detect fires for 10 years
To power the alarm signal for 4 minutes at 85 dB.
To perform weekly tests for 10 seconds.
To indicate that the battery is low via an audible signal for 30 days.
The detector is designed to operate in a normal household environment:
Temperature: 15°C to 35°C.
Humidity: 25% to 75%.
Atmospheric pressure: 86 to 106 kPa.
The detector may be used in an exceptional household environment:
Temperature ranging between 4°C and 45°C.
Humidity ranging between 10% and 95%.
Recurrent and/or prolonged
use in this exceptional environment may reduce the battery life and consequently the service life of the detector..
