Standard Compliance AS3786:2014
The unit is an AC220~240V photoelectric smoke
alarm with a 9V DC backup battery. Photoelectric
technology is more sensitive to detecting slow
smouldering fires which are generally thick with
black smoke, little heat and may smoulder for
hours before bursting into flames. This smoke
alarm does not contain radioactive material.
IMPORTANT: This manual contains important
information about the installation and operation of
your smoke alarm. Please read carefully before
installation and keep for future reference. Please
ensure that this leaflet remains in the household
where the alarm is installed.
WARNING: This smoke alarm is designed to alert
you to the presence of smoke. It cannot prevent a
fire. There are hazards against which smoke
alarms may not be effective such as smoking in
bed, explosions, etc. The ultimate responsibility
for fire protection rests
responsibility includes escape planning, safety
checks and an effective warning system. In case
of fire, a well-placed, properly looked after smoke
alarm may provide a few seconds so that you can
escape and call the fire brigade.
LIMITATIONS: Loss of AC power will render this
smoke alarm inoperative unless the 9V backup
battery is installed in the unit. Never paint the
smoke alarm. The smoke alarm has a service life
of ten years under normal use. We recommend
you replace it within no more than ten years.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. The Test button accurately tests all smoke
alarm functions. DO NOT use any other test
method. Test smoke alarm weekly to ensure
proper operation.
2. DO NOT remove or disconnect battery to
silence unwanted alarms. This will remove your
protection if AC power is lost. Open windows or
ventilate the smoke alarm to silence it.
3. DO NOT expose the smoke alarm unit or any
of the electrical cabling to any type of liquid
substances such as water (a splashing or
dripping substance onto or into the unit may
render the unit defective). DO NOT place any
object filled with any liquid substance/s on the
smoke alarm unit.
4. DANGER:This smoke alarm is powered by AC
220 ~ 240V. Exposure to live mains power is
DANGEROUS and incorrect use can be FATAL.
This smoke alarm MUST be installed by a
AS3786:2014
licensed and qualified electrician. Observe
Lic SMKH25550
and follow all local and national electrical and
SAI Global
building codes for installation.
5. This smoke alarm is suitable for use with
non-pure sine curve power sources (e.g. derived
from square wave invertors).
6. This smoke alarm is designed to be used
inside a single unit dwelling only. In buildings with
several dwellings, each individual living unit
should have its own smoke alarms. DO NOT
install in non-residential buildings. This smoke
alarm is not a substitute for a complete alarm
system.
7. Install a smoke alarm in every room and on
every level of the home. Smoke may not reach the
smoke alarm for many reasons. For example, if a
fire starts in a remote part of the home, on another
level, in a chimney, wall and roof or on the other
side of a closed door, smoke may not reach the
smoke alarm in time to alert household members.
A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire
except in the area or room in which it is installed.
8. Smoke alarms may not alert every household
member every time. The alarm sound is loud in
5°C to 45°C
order to alert individuals to a potential danger.
up to 85%
However, there may be limiting circumstances
where a household member may not hear the
alarm (i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound
sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, hard of hearing,
etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not
alert household members, install and maintain
specialty alarms. Household members must hear
the alarm's warning sound and respond, to quickly
reduce the risk of damage, injury or death that
may result from fire. If a household member is
hearing impaired, install special smoke alarms
with lights or vibrating devices to alert occupants.
9. Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms
when they detect smoke. Smoke alarms detect
combustion particles in the air. They do not
sense heat, flame or gas. This smoke alarm is
designed to give an audible warning of a
developing fire. However, many fires are fast
burning, explosive or intentional. Others are
caused by carelessness or safety hazards.
Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm quickly
enough to ensure safe escape.
10. Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke
alarm is not foolproof and is not warranted to
protect lives or property from fire. Smoke alarms
are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners
and renters should insure their lives and property.
with you. This
In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm to fail
at any time. For this reason, you must test the
smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10 years.
NOTE: For best protection, we recommend
that you install a smoke alarm in every room.
WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR ALARM
For best safety, install smoke alarms in every
room: Including hall, bedrooms, living rooms,
attics & basement. At the very least, install one
smoke alarm on every floor.
Smoke, heat and other combustion products rise
to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting
the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the centre of the
room places it closest to all the points in the room.
Ceiling mounting is preferred
residential construction. However in mobile
homes, wall mounting on an inside partition is
preferred to avoid the thermal barrier that may
form in the ceiling.
IMPORTANT SMOKE ALARM PLACEMENT
Typical single-storey home
Install a smoke alarm on the ceiling or wall inside
each bedroom and in the hallway outside each
separate sleeping area. If a bedroom area or
hallway is more than 9 metres long, install a

install a smoke alarm on the basement ceiling at
the bottom of the stairwell.
