• Near a
decorative object, door, light fitting, window
moulding
etc., that may prevent smoke or heat from
entering the Alarm.
• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of
the room (e.g.
attic hatches
). Temperature differences might
stop smoke or heat from reaching the unit.
• Next to or directly above
heaters
or
air conditioning vents,
windows, wall vents
etc. that can change the direction of
airflow.
• In very
high
or
awkward areas
(e.g. over stairwells) where
it may be difficult to reach the Alarm (for testing, hushing
or battery replacement).
• Locate away from very
dusty
or
dirty areas
as dust build-up
in the chamber can impair performance. It can also block the
insect screen mesh and prevent smoke from entering the
smoke detector chamber.
• Locate the unit at least 1m from
dimmer controlled lights
and wiring
as some dimmers can cause interference.
• Locate unit at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away
from
fluorescent light fittings
as electrical “noise” and/or
flickering may affect the unit. Do not wire into the same
circuit as fluorescent lights or dimmers.
• Do not locate in
insect infested areas
. Small insects getting
into the smoke detector chamber can cause intermittent
alarms. Insects and contamination on the Heat Alarm
sensor can increase its response time.
The Alarm is designed to be permanently mounted,
using it’s own built-in terminal block to connect it to the
mains. The mounting plate can be screwed directly to
the ceiling. Alternatively it can be screwed to a standard
junction box. It requires a current of 40mA. The Alarm
must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. There are
important markings on the underside of the alarm.
Caution
Alternative Energy Sources
- (Wind, Solar, UPS etc.)
This product is designed to be connected to a Pure or
True Sine Wave 230 Vac supply.
If connecting to a power source that utilises an inverter,
e.g. PV solar panel, the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
must be less than 5%. If in doubt please check with the
manufacturer of the inverter.
This also applies to battery powered UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply) inverters.
Light Dimmer Circuits
– The Alarms
must not
be
powered from a light dimmer circuit.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTION:
Do not install the
Alarms in new or renovated buildings until all work
is completed (including floor coverings) and the
building has been fully cleaned. The wiring can be
installed when appropriate.
(Excessive dust and
debris from building work can contaminate the
smoke chamber or heat sensor and cause problems,
it will also invalidate the guarantee)
. If it must
be installed, first cover it completely, particularly
around the edges, with a dust cover (eg. with the
elasticated cover supplied or a plastic bag), until all
cleaning is finished.
The Alarm must not be connected when the house wiring
insulation is being checked with high voltages. i.e. Do
not use a high voltage insulation tester on the alarm.
