Page 4: General Information
1. General information In the event of a fire, deadly smoke can spread quickly throughout an entire flat and often goes unnoticed. The Genius H and Genius Hx smoke detec- ® ® tors warn early before these gases has deadly consequences. Thanks to the new smoke detector technology, false-alarm-proof smoke de- tection is achieved even when temperatures fluctuate. This is accomplished by the detector's capability to adapt automatically to normal changes in its environment and thus guarantees constant response sensitivity. The Genius Hx , with its special software algorithms, can even reliably ® detect fire smoke in kitchens, which was not possible with yesterday's detectors because of clouds of steam suddenly rising. The electronics in both smoke detectors is so finely tuned that a smoke detector typically has a service life of 10 years with one battery. Should you wish to have fire and smoke alarms relayed to the fire brigade, or if it is required, a fire alarm control panel compliant to DIN 14675 is available. Hekatron is not liable for expenses which may be incurred as a re- sult of alarming a service point such as a security service or the fire brigade. G 209178... -
Page 5: Precautions
2. Precautions The purpose of smoke detectors is to warn you early about fire smoke and fires so that you can react quickly to danger with the appropriate measures. Smoke detectors cannot prevent or extinguish fires. These smoke detectors react early and reliably to smoldering fires as well as to open fires that develop smoke. The detector audibly outputs a loud alarm tone and visually a flashing red light when it detects smoke. Ensure that a sufficient number of smoke detectors are mounted. Only in this way is it possible to achieve comprehensive monitoring and maximum security (see page 10). It is not permitted to paint the smoke detector or cover the smoke inlet openings. To ensure trouble-free operation of the smoke detector, the smoke detector must be mounted correctly and maintenance and care instructions must be observed. Hekatron recommends DIN EN 14676 compliance for planning, mounting, commissioning and maintenance. Please read these mounting instructions completely before mounting and commissioning the smoke detector and keep them in a safe place. -
Page 6: Warning Notice
3. Warning notice Mount the smoke detector only after all modifications, renovations and similar work have been completed. If smoke detectors are already installed before beginning work, they either have to be removed or covered. The removed smoke detectors must be protected from dust and similar substances during the work (e.g. store in plastic bags). Important: Once all work is completed, the smoke detectors must be remounted and the coverings removed. A smoke detector which is not mounted or is still covered will not function and is therefore useless. When smoke detectors are used in environments with high levels of dust and/or dirt, service life may be reduced due to faster soiling. -
Page 7: What To Do When There Is A Fire
4. What to do when there is a fire 1 Save people ■ Alert those who live with you. ■ Immediately leave the room/building and close all doors behind you on the way out; this hinders the rapid spread of smoke and fire. ■ Stay close to the floor if smoke is dense. ■ Check whether all persons have vacated the room/ building. ■ If for any reason you are unable to leave the room/ building, close all doors, seal all gaps and openings, and try to gain someone's attention from the window. 2 Call the fire brigade ■ Call the fire brigade only after you are safe. 3 Extinguish fire ■ Fight the fire yourself only if it does not put you in danger. -
Page 8: Properties Of The Genius H
5. Properties of the Genius H ® ■ Automatic operational readiness After the smoke detector is screwed into the base, it starts operating automatically. ■ Alarm memory If the smoke detector has an alarm, the LED visually indicates it until it is acknowledged. This means fast localisation. ■ Integrated real-time clock Suppression of status reports which do not influence the operation of the smoke detector from 10 pm to 6 am CET thanks to an integrated real- time clock. Your night time sleep is undisturbed. ■ Reduced light strength Automatic reduction of LED brightness from 10 pm to 6 pm CET by means of the integrated real-time clock. ■ Soiling compensation The detector adjusts its base signal according to the detector's level of soiling and achieves a longer service life than smoke detectors without compensation. In the event that the maximum soiling level is reached through adjustments, a fault is signaled. - Page 9 ■ Soiling prognosis Based on the level of soiling up to the present, the smoke detector calculates how long it can still be operated if the rate of soiling remains the same. ■ Active service prognosis A function test automatically generates the soiling prognosis. If the prog- nosis is greater than 15 months, the test is confirmed as positive. ■ Muting The smoke detector can be muted for 10 minutes by pressing the test button when there is an alarm. ■ Time-delayed deactivation Automatic, time-delayed deactivation after unscrewing the smoke detec- tor from its base gives you enough time (5 minutes) to test the smoke detector out of its base.

Page 10: Mounting Location And Planning
6. Mounting location and planning The minimum configuration consists of mounting at least one smoke detec- tor in each bedroom, children's room and in the hallways. For the optimal configuration mount at least one smoke detector in all rooms, hallways and entrance areas. Mount the smoke detectors so that smoke from a fire can reach the detector unimpeded to ensure early detection. Minimum configuration Optimal configuration Notice: Please note that living rooms are often used for sleeping. - Page 11 The smoke detector monitors a 60 m² area in a room with a maximum height of 6 m. It must be mounted on the ceiling and centred in the room as much as possible. According to DIN 14676, the detector must be at least 0.5 m from other fittings on the ceiling and from the walls. These fittings also include switched power supplies, such as energy-saving lights, transmitters and similar. If the detector is mounted in a ceiling peak, the following applies concerning the ceiling angle: ■ for a ceiling angle of up to 20°, the detector must be suspended 0.2 m - 0.5 m from the ceiling peak. The detector may be offset to the side and mounted directly on the ceiling or roof. ■ for a ceiling angle greater than 20°, suspended horizontally 0.2 m - 0.5 m from the ceiling peak. Smoke detectors are not intended for outdoor use.

Page 13: Installing The Smoke Detector
7. Installing the smoke detector Use the supplied fastening materials when mounting the smoke detector. If other screws are used, they must not protrude more than 5.0 mm into the base. We recommend using an oval head screw DIN ISO 7049, Phillips-head screw H, form C, 3.5 x 25 mm. The mounting surface must be flat. - Page 14 One-hole mounting Two-hole mounting 1 Mark the place for the hole on the ceiling 1 Mark the place for the holes on the ceiling and drill the hole. and drill the holes. 2 Insert the dowel into the hole. 2 Insert the dowels into the holes. 3 Remove the protective foil from the adhe- 3 Hold the base onto the ceiling. sive pad. 4 Lightly screw the base onto the ceiling, 4 Screw the base onto the ceiling. press the base to the ceiling and then tighten the screw. 5 Place the detector onto the base (the test button of the smoke detector has to be aligned over the oblong hole in the base). 6 Turn the detector clockwise until the base goes into the smoke detector and snaps into place (rotation of about 45°). Once the detector is fastened in the base, it begins operation automatically and carries out a function test.

Page 15: Theft And Removal Protection (Accessories)
8. Theft and removal protection (accessories) To secure the smoke detector against removal by unauthorised persons, removal protection in the form of a seal can be fastened to the detector and base. The seal is fastened to the detector in the housing wall opening. Break out the predetermined breaking point in the base and turn the smoke detector in the base. Predeter- Insert the seal in the opening. - Page 16 After the seal is inserted, the opening must be completely closed. To remove the seal, rotate it 90° using a screwdriver. This shears off the head of the seal and you can then rotate the detector out of the base normally.
