WHAT ARE THE
LIMITATIONS OF MY
SMOKE ALARM?
Your Zeta smoke alarm is designed to alert
you by sounding an alarm when it senses
smoke, i.e. it can only sense smoke and alert
you if smoke reaches it! If a fire develops in
an area remote from the location of the smoke
alarm, such as another room or another level,
smoke may not reach the smoke alarm in
sufficient time or quantity to sense and alert
you to the danger.
We recommend that as a minimum you install
both ionisation and optical smoke alarms on
every floor of your property. For comprehensive
coverage a smoke alarm should also be fitted
in every room.
This smoke alarm cannot be used to provide
primary fire detection in common areas used
by different residents such as blocks of flats
and hotels. The Zeta smoke alarm may not
alarm before a fire causes damage, injury or
death, as the smoke may not reach the smoke
alarm in time. Examples include smoking in
bed and violent gas explosions. This smoke
alarm may not respond in a reasonable
time if it is not installed in the best position,
or if furniture or other obstacles are located
between the smoke alarm and the fire.
WARNING:
Your smoke alarm will not
operate without a battery installed. Only
batteries listed on page 14 should be used
and must be changed immediately when the
low battery signal is given or the unit will fail.
Test weekly, read and follow all instructions
or the unit will not operate properly.
Your Zeta smoke alarm will advise you of a
low battery condition by emitting an audible
‘chirp’ every 40 seconds. When this occurs
you must change the battery in the unit within
7 days to maintain correct operation.
IMPORTANT:
Smoke alarms are
designed to alert you with an audible
alarm at a level specified by the British
Standard BS EN 14604: 2005. Closed doors,
walls and high ambient noise levels will
reduce this level. Temporary or permanently
impaired hearing may result in the alarm not
being heard. Stereos, traffic and other loud
sources may also prevent the alarm being
heard. Heavy sleepers and residents under
the influence of alcohol or drugs may also
not hear or respond to the alarm. Test and
check that you can hear the alarm in all
circumstances. If in doubt install additional
smoke alarms as required.
WARNING:
The Smoke alarm is not
suitable for alerting hearing impaired
residents. We recommend that specially
designed warning systems be installed that
will alert hearing impaired residents.
