Product description / intended use
The stabo smoke alarm device is intended to be mounted in private homes, only.
Fire and a smoldering fire in particular often lead to a persistent smoke emission with toxic flue gas before
outbreak of flames. An early detection of home fires with the help of smoke alarm devices can save lives
and avoid high property damage.
The photoelectric cell installed in the stabo smoke alarm device checks the ambient air for smoke particles
which occur in the event of a fire. Both an optical (rapidly flashing LED) and an acoustic (piezosiren 85
dB (A)/3m) alarm is triggered if a certain smoke particle concentration is reached. However, the device
cannot detect neither heat, nor gas nor fire. By using a smoke alarm device, a fire can neither be avoided
nor extinguished.

Important safety notes and warnings
l Assure the best possible coverage of your entire living space with smoke alarm devices: One smoke
alarm device is only able to early detect smoke particles in a certain area (max. 60 m²)!
l The housing of the smoke alarm device may neither be coated, nor painted, nor may something be
stuck on it! In any case, the openings of the housing must always remain free and open!
l Keep your smoke alarm device clean and vacuum clean the openings once a month.
l Every smoke alarm device should be checked at least once a year.
l If a smoke alarm device emits a beep approx. every 40 seconds, the battery capacity is low or the
device is defective. Remove the smoke alarm device and install a new one.
l Present the smoke alarm device to all residents such that the alarm signal is well known and can be
reliably distinguished from other buzzers or (door) bells installed in the house.
l Replace the smoke alarm device at the very latest after 10 years.
l Protect the smoke alarm device against moistness, heat, dust and strong vibrations.
l Never open the housing of the smoke alarm device!
Preventing home fires
l Keep matches and lighters in a safe place that cannot be reached by children!
l Never leave burning candles unattended!
l Do not smoke in your bed – especially not if you are very tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs!
l Make sure that your electrical devices/systems/cables are always in a perfect technical condition.
Immediately exchange, for instance, damaged cables/defective plugs!
l Do not overload electric circuits (e.g. by connecting different devices to multiple sockets and putting
them simultaneously into operation).
l Store highly flammable materials only in containers as specified by law.
l Take care that open fireplaces, chimneys, and grills are always clean and that combustible material
is kept at a safe distance!
