2. Safety Instructions
•
To improve your safety, install one alarm in every room and staircase.
•
Don't open the smoke alarm further than described in this manual, for it may cause malfunction.
•
Leave this manual with the end user when installing this smoke alarm for a third party.
•
Smoke alarms detect fires and do NOT prevent or extinguish them.
3. Installation Location
•
Install at least one smoke alarm on every floor, including finished attics and basements.
•
Install a smoke alarm next to every electric facility.
•
Smoke alarms are most efficient when installed in the middle of a ceiling ; smoke always rises.
•
When it is not possible to install a detector in the middle of a ceiling, install it at least 10cm away from a wall.
•
When ceiling installation is not possible, install the smoke alarm on a wall, 10 to 30cm below the ceiling.
•
When you hall is longer than 9m, it is preferable to install 2 smoke alarms.
•
Only install smoke detectors in places where the temperature is always within the 4-38°C range.
•
Install a smoke alarm at least 6m away from sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace…).
•
Avoid poorly ventilated kitchens and air streams near kitchens, as cooking steam may trigger the device.
•
Avoid very damp or steamy areas. Keep smoke alarms at least 3m away from showers, saunas etc.
•
Avoid very dusty, greasy or dirty areas. Clean laundry room alarms regularly to keep them free from dust or lint.
•
Avoid fresh air vents, ceiling fans and very draughty areas ; draughts can blow smoke away from the unit.
•
Avoid insect infested areas ; insects can clog openings to the sensing chamber and cause unwanted alarms.
•
Keep smoke alarms at least 3m away from fluorescent lights ; electrical 'noise' can interfere with the sensor.
•
Don't install smoke alarms in a smoking room.
4. Installation
To install this device, you need a pencil, a drill with 6.5mm bit, a hammer and a screwdriver.
1. To separate the device itself from its base, push the 'key' on the base slightly and turn counterclockwise.
2. Test the unit (see "
5. Testing and Maintenance"
on page 2) before actually starting installation.
3. Hold the base against the mounting place and mark the centre of both mounting slots with a pencil.
4. Drill a 6.5mm hole 35mm deep through each pencil mark. Keep the smoke alarm away from the ensuing dust.
5. Insert the masonry plugs in the holes and tap them gently with a hammer. Tighten the screws in the plugs
completely and then loosen them two turns.
6. Place the base on the mounting surface so the screw heads appear through the appropriate holes, then turn the
base counterclockwise to position it exactly where you want it and fasten the screws so the base stays in place.
7. Connect a 9V battery to the alarm and insert it into its compartment, making sure the red lever is pressed down.
8. Attach the smoke alarm to the base by turning it clockwise.
