POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM
Ceiling Mounting
As hot smoke rises and spreads out, it is advisable to mount
the alarm on a ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas
where there is no air circulation. e.g.corners of rooms and
keep away from items which may prevent the free flow of
air. Place the unit at least 300 mm from and light fitting or
decorative object which might obstruct smoke entering the
alarm. Keep at least 300 mm away from walls. See Figure
3i.
Wall Mounting
Do not mount tight into the corners. Put the top edge of your smoke alarm between 150 and 300mm below the ceiling.
Keep at least 300mm from room corners. See Figure 3i
On a Sloping Ceiling
In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your Smoke Alarm 900mm from the highest point measured horizontally
because “dead air” at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit. See Figure 3ii.
Figure 3i - Positioning the smoke / heat detector Figure 3ii
Areas to be avoided include the following :-
•
Situations where the temperature may fall below 0°or rise above 40°
•
Humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms where the relative humidity may exceed 90%
•
Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, window molding etc., that may prevent smoke from entering the alarm.
•
Fume filled environments such as garages. Exhaust gases may cause false alarms.

OPERATING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Once the smoke alarm has been installed a small GREEN indicator light (LED) should be visible through the alarm
grill indicating that AC supply is healthy. A RED indicator light (LED) should also flash approximately once a minute to
indicate the battery is healthy and the unit is operating properly.
If smoke is detected, the unit will emit a load pulsating alarm and a RED indicator light (LED) will be flashing quickly at
the same time until the air is clear.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your smoke alarm once a week to ensure the detector is working correctly.
Push and hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A loud pulsating alarm should sound and a RED indicator
light (LED) will flash at the same time.
NOTE – for multiple interconnected smoke alarms, only the RED indicator light (LED) of the originating unit will flash
rapidly. All other units in the interconnect system will sound an alarm but their RED indicator light (LED) will NOT flash.
Test each alarm checking that the alarm is triggered on all other alarms installed.
HUSH OR SILENCE FEATURE
This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature incorporated into the
Test button. If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause the unwanted
alarm, it can be temporarily silenced by depressing the test button and holding
for approximately 3 seconds. The alarm will enter a dormant period for 10
minutes. The red LED will flash every 10 seconds to indicate the sensitivity is
reduced. At the end of the hush period the alarm will reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE – If the smoke density increase during this period (i.e. from a fire) the unit
will go into alarm mode.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the smoke alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once a minute the battery is at the end
of its life and should be replaced immediately. This low voltage warning will be
given for at least 30 days. In this case, the other interconnected units in the
system which are not in low battery condition will chirps for a few seconds once
an hour as long as the detector with the “dead” battery beeps. If the red indicator
light (LED) does not flash every minute then replace the battery.
MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Clean your smoke alarm at least once every six months to prevent dust build up. This can be done using a vacuum
cleaner with the brush attachment. Clean gently around the front grilled section and sides. The apparatus shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

interconnect feature allow up to 20 units to be connected together
over 150 metres maximum, using the single white wire, and thus
allowing all alarms to sound when any one is activated.
Note: This smoke alarm cannot be connected to any other
device such as a fire alarm panel.
INTERCONNECT - connect to the third wire. If you are
not interconnecting to other units, do not connect this wire.
Insert a 9V battery firmly into battery compartment on
the rear of the alarm. NOTE POLARITY OF
CONNECTIONS. Ensure the metal tab is fully depressed
when the battery has been
fitted.
NOTE – For the safety of the
end user, the smoke alarm
cannot be fitted without its
battery.
Before assembly to base
plate test the correct
operation of the smoke
alarm (operating from the
battery only) by depressing
the test button on the front of
the alarm. The unit should emit a loud pulsating alarm.
Assemble alarm unit onto the mounting plate by turning
the alarm unit counter-clockwise. See Figure 4
Restore the AC supply by pluging the AC QUICK
CONNECTOR into the back of the alarm (see Figure 4).
Make sure that the locks on the connector snap into place.
Test the correct operation of the smoke alarm by
depressing the test button on the front of the detector.
The unit should emit a loud pulsating alarm.
Should use 2.1mm wire for connection.
OPERATING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Once the smoke alarm has been installed a small GREEN indicator light
(LED) should be visible through the alarm grill indicating that AC supply
is healthy. A RED indicator light (LED) should also flash approximately
once a minute to indicate the battery is healthy and the unit is operating
properly.
If smoke is detected, the unit will emit a load pulsating alarm and a RED
indicator light (LED) will be flashing quickly at the same time until the
air is clear.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your smoke alarm once a week to
ensure the detector is working correctly.
Push and hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A loud
pulsating alarm should sound and a RED indicator light (LED) will
flash at the same time.
NOTE – for multiple interconnected smoke alarms, only the RED
indicator light (LED) of the originating unit will flash rapidly. All other
units in the interconnect system will sound an alarm but their RED
indicator light (LED) will NOT flash. Test each alarm checking that the
alarm is triggered on all other alarms installed.
HUSH OR SILENCE FEATURE
This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature incorporated
into the Test button. If cooking or other non-hazardous sources
cause the unwanted alarm, it can be temporarily silenced by depressing
the test button and holding for approximately 3 seconds. The alarm
will enter a dormant period for 10 minutes. The red LED will flash
every 10 seconds to indicate the sensitivity is reduced. At the end of
the hush period the alarm will reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE – If the smoke density increase during this period (i.e. from a fire)
the unit will go into alarm mode.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the smoke alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once a minute the battery is at
the end of its life and should be replaced immediately. This low voltage
warning will be given for at least 30 days. In this case, the other
interconnected units in the system which are not in low battery condition
will chirps for a few seconds once an hour as long as the detector with
the “dead” battery beeps.
If the red indicator light (LED) does not flash every minute then replace
the battery.
MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Clean your smoke alarm at least once every six months to prevent dust
build up. This can be done using a vacuum cleaner with the brush
attachment. Clean gently around the front grilled section and sides.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and
no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on
the app
aratus.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
