Read This First

 Switch off the mains before commencing installation and  

   remove the appropriate circuit fuse.  

 Disconnect the base / detector from the electrical circuit 

   before insulation / mega testing.  

 Do not connect to a circuit which also has inductive loads 

   connected as spikes generated switching inductive loads may 
   damage electronic components within your detector. 

 Suitable for indoor use only. 

 Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no 

   obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface such as 
   pipes or cables. 

 The chosen location of your new base should allow for the 

   product to be securely mounted (e.g. to a ceiling joist) and 
   safely connected to the mains supply (lighting circuit). 

 Do not attach to surfaces which are damp, freshly painted or 

   otherwise electrically conductive (e.g. metallic surfaces). 

 If the location of your new fitting requires the provision 

   of a new electrical supply, the supply must conform with 
   the requirements of the Building Regulations. Smoke alarms 
   and heat alarms must be mounted at least 300mm from light 
   fittings or other obstructions, see the alarms instructions. 

 Make connections to the electrical supply in accordance with 

the following code:

Live - Brown or Red
Neutral - Blue or Black
Interconnect - Must only interconnect with other alarms and is 

                      not to be connected to earth. 

Installing the Pattress

WARNING - This is designed for installation by a qualified
