LOCATING THE SMOKE ALARM
This smoke alarm is a photoelectric alarm with build-in
wireless interconnection. It can transmit and receive with
other smoke alarms.
If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection
you should fit an alarm in the hallway between the living
areas (incl. Kitchens) and sleeping areas. Place it as near to
the living areas as possible and ensure the alarm is audible
when the bedrooms are occupied. See Figure 1 for
examples.
If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection one
alarm should be fitted at the bottom of the staircase with
further alarms fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes
basements but excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
See Figure 2 for examples.
NOTE: For maximum protection an alarm should be fitted in
every room (except kitchen, bathroom and garage).
DO NOT FIT AN ALARM IN THE KITCHEN or BATHROOM,
as cooking fumes or steam may trigger the alarm.
DO NOT FIT ALARM IN A GARAGE, as exhaust fumes are
likely to set it off.
POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM
Ceiling Mounting
As hot smoke rises and spread out, it is advisable to mount
on a ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas where there is
no air circulation. E.g. Corners of rooms and keep away from
items which may prevent the free flow of air. Place the unit at
least 300mm from and light fitting or decorative object which
might obstruct smoke / heat entering the alarm. Keep at
least 300mm away from walls. See Figure 3i.
On a Sloping Ceiling
In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke
Alarm 900mm from the highest point measured horizontally
because “dead air” at the apex may prevent smoke from
reaching the unit. See Figure 3i.
FIGURE 1 – SINGLE STOREY DWELLING
FIGURE 2 – 2/3 STOREY DWELLING
Areas to be avoided include the following :-
•
Situations where the temperature may fall below
0
o
C or rise above 40
o
C
•
Humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, shower
rooms where the relative humidity may exceed 90%
•
Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window
molding etc., that may prevent smoke or heat from
entering the alarm.
•
Fume filled environments such as garages.
Exhaust gases may cause false alarms.
•
Adjacent to or directly above hot components such
as radiators or wall vents that can effect the
direction of air currents.
•
In dusty or dirty environments such as workshops.
•
Locate unit at least 1.5m away for fluorescent light
fittings as electrical “noise” and/or flickering may
affect the unit.
•
Do not locate in insect infested areas. Insects and
contamination on the Heat Alarm sensor can
increase its response time.
INSTALLING THE SMOKE ALARM
This smoke alarm is powered by battery and requires no
additional wiring.
•
Having established the mounting location ensures
that there in no electrical wiring or pipe work in the
area adjacent to the mounting surface.
•
Take the mounting bracket and mark the two
mounting hole locations.
•
Drill holes in the positions marked.
•
Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes.
•
Screw mounting base to mounting surface. Apply the
included screws into the two holes and secure the base
firmly. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
•
Each unit carries a four positions dip switch (see diagram)
for coding the transmit and receive frequency to prevent
interference with any other RF equipment. There are 16
combinations.
IMPORTANT!
The setting of the dip switch must be the same on all
interconnected units.
•
Insert the battery in the battery compartment located in
the upper smoke alarm unit. This can be accessed by
separating the unit apart, simply push-in the clips on both
sides of the unit simultaneously.
NOTE – For the safety of the end user the smoke alarm
cannot be fitted without its battery.
•
Attach the upper smoke alarm unit firmly.
•
Test the alarm for correct operation using test facility,
once the alarm is integrated and installed.
IMPORTANT!
Please insert the included 9V battery for operation.
