Smoke Alarm is an ionising smoke detector for use
in private homes . The smoke alarm meets the requirements stated in
EN 14604:2005/AC:2008 . The smoke alarm contains a small amount of radioactive
material encapsulated in a special impact strengthened container and which is
completely safe when the smoke alarm is used as described in this manual .
Smoke alarm positioning
Best protection is obtained by installing a smoke alarm in the middle of the
ceiling in every room . However, as a minimum, there should be at least one
smoke alarm fitted to the ceiling between the bedroom and the living room or
the kitchen . Most fires break out in the living room or in the kitchen whilst we
are sleeping . If the bedrooms are situated in several different areas in the home,
more smoke alarms should be installed . Recommended max . distance between
two alarms is 10 m . In a house with more than one floor, there should be at
least one smoke alarm on each floor . It is important to test that the smoke alarm
can be easily heard from every bedroom . If necessary, a smoke alarm should be
installed in the bedroom . The smoke alarm should be placed in the middle of the
ceiling, at least 0,5 m from a wall or corner .
Do not install smoke alarms in the following locations
1 . In a kitchen or a bathroom . Smoke from cooking or baking can result in false
alarms .
2 . Close to an air duct or extractor fan . They can extract the smoke thus
preventing the smoke alarm from operating correctly .
3 . In a garage where naturally combustible particles can result in false alarms .
4 . In a room with great temperature fluctuations (between 0 – 40 degrees Celsius)
and/or high air humidity (max . 85 % relative air humidity) .
5 . Close to electric installations with fluorescent lighting .
6 . In the top of a roof ridge or other places where the air may become stagnant .
Apartment / detached house:
In a large apartment with a long corridor at least two smoke alarms should be
installed as smoke spreads in a hall .

Mounting
The smoke alarm should be fitted using the enclosed
mounting bracket, which is to be mounted in the
ceiling with one screw only (screw and plug for 5 mm
drill enclosed – please use a special plug for plaster
ceilings) .
When the bracket is fixed, the smoke alarm is attached
with a click . It is now firm but can be turned for
adjustment around the point to which it is attached .
