Safety Indications
•
Never paint over the smoke detector.
•
Smoke detectors only detect the smoke of a fire, but not the flames themselves.
•
Smoke detectors do not extinguish a fire. When the alarm sounds, search for the source of the fire
and call the fire department if necessary.
•
Do not use rechargeable batteries (accumulators) or power packs for power supply. They can
cause disruptions or the premature failure of the device.
•
The smoke detector produces a very loud and shrill sound, which can damage hearing. For this
reason, please observe a safety distance of 50 cm during the function test.
•
The smoke detector only monitors a defined area in the vicinity of the installation site. Install
enough detectors to cover the entire living area and ensure optimum protection.
•
People under the influence of alcohol or drugs may not be awakened by the signal sound.
Installation site
Smoke detectors should preferably be installed outside the door of or in bedrooms so that you will be
awakened by the smoke alarm at night. In buildings with several floors, at least one smoke detector
should be located on each floor.
The smoke detector will have optimum detection characteristics if it is installed under the ceiling in the
center of the room. If this is not possible, keep a distance of at least 50 cm from the wall.
If the smoke detector is installed in the kitchen, you should locate the device as far away from the
cooking zone as possible to prevent false alarms due to steam.
In large houses, you should use several, linked smoke detectors to cover the entire living area. If
smoke is detected by one smoke detector, it sets off an alarm and activates all connected smoke
detectors, which then also sound the alarm. Thus, you will be awakened during the night by your
linked smoke detector in the bedroom if the smoke detector in the cellar detects smoke.
