The home smoke detector is installed as follows:
•
Remove the home smoke detector (Fig.3, B) from its base (A) by turning it anticlockwise.
•
Open the required cable entry knockouts, then fix the base to the ceiling using the fasteners
supplied with each unit (see Fig.4 for dimensions).
•
Run the interconnecting cables and insert the ends into the base through the open knockouts.
Make sure there is enough slack cable (about 10 cm minimum) inside the base for easy
connection and disconnection of the relay on the home smoke detector.
•
Feed the two-core cable through the strain-relief grip provided (Fig.5) before connecting it to the
relay module as shown on the wiring diagram. Then carefully plug the relay module into the seat
provided for it (Fig.6, 1).
•
Attach the 9 V rectangular battery to the connector (4) and insert it into the battery holder (1).
•
Insert the home smoke detector into the base, without using force, and turn it gently clockwise
until it clicks into place.
Note:
If no battery is fitted, the home smoke detector will not click into place!
•
Finally verify the good working order of the home smoke detector by pressing its test button (4).
•
When one test button is pressed, all the home smoke detectors linked together in the network
must sound the alarm. If a networked home smoke detector does not activate the alarm, this can
be for three reasons: (a) open circuit/disrupted network, (b) battery incorrectly connected,
(c) battery fully discharged. Check these three points.
Fitting relay and radio transmitter modules (optional extras)
Turn the home smoke detector anticlockwise to remove it from its base. Holding the radio transmitter
module at its edges, carefully insert it into the seat provided for it (Fig.6).
