Description:
The AU981 unit is a photoelectric smoke alarm device.
Photoelectric technology is more sensitive at detecting slow
smoldering fires.
Installation Suggestions:
It is suggested that an AU981 smoke alarm unit be installed
in every room and hallway of the house (excluding bathroom
and kitchen). Ensure that all occupants are aware of the alarm
tones to respond accurately if alerted.
For rooms greater that 9 meters in length an AU981 alarm
should be installed at each end of the room.
Important Safety Information:
1:
Each AU981 smoke alarm unit should be tested monthly by
pressing the button.
2: Alarm can be silenced by ventilating room if activated by a
non-threatening source.
3: The AU981 smoke alarm is designed to detect smoke or
combustion particles in the air, it is not designed to sense
heat, flame or gas. This smoke alarm is designed to give
audible warning of a developing fire. This smoke alarm is
not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke
alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
4: AU981 should be replaced approximately every 10 years.
Do Not Install Smoke Alarms:
1: Near appliances or areas where normal combustion
can regularly occur (kitchens, fire places & hot water units).
2: In areas with high humidity eg. bathrooms or near
dishwashers or washing machines, install at least 3 metres
away from these areas.
3: Near air returns, or heating and cooling vents. Install at least
1 metre away from these areas. The air may blow smoke
away from the detector, affecting detection.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall below
0
℃
or rise
above 40
℃
or in humidity higher than 93%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault in the
alarm.

could interfere with the smoke alarm operation.
6: In an area where people regularly smoke.
