• Do not locate in
insect infested areas
. Small insects getting into the optical sensor chamber can
cause intermittent alarms. Insects and contamination on the heat sensor can increase its
response time.
4. Installation

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
