2. Prescribed use The ‘RM 100-2 Uni-S’ smoke detector registers smoke emissions (smouldering fire and open fires with smoke emissions) and sets off an alarm when the smoke concentration reaches a certain level. The alarm is carried out via the integrated signal transmitter and a red warning LED. A bright, white LED is also activated as an emergency light.
3. Scope of delivery • ‘RM 100-2 Uni-S’ smoke detector • Spacers for mounting • User manual 4. Explanation of icons The icon with a lightning flash in a triangle is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards such as electric shock.
5. Safety instructions The product’s guarantee becomes invalid, if the product is damaged as a result of the failure to observe these operating instructions! We do not assume any liability for any resulting damages! Nor do we assume liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by improper use or failure to observe the safety instructions.
LED blinks three times every 48 seconds. Therefore, please make sure that you only use high-quality alkaline batteries (Conrad item no. 650117, for example. Order 3 batteries). • Keep batteries (and rechargeable batteries) out of the reach of children. • Make sure that the polarity is correct when inserting the batteries.
7. Features and functions The ‘RM 100-2 Uni-S’ smoke detector registers smoke emissions (smouldering fires and open fires with smoke emissions) optically using the scattered light principle. When the smoke concentration reaches a specific level, the smoke detector activates the integrated signal transmitter.
8. Selecting the installation location We generally recommend that several smoke detectors be installed in a building or an apartment. One smoke detector should defi- nitely be installed on each floor of a multi- storey building. This is the only way to en- sure that an effective warning is issued in Bedroom Study...

In normal rooms, the smoke detec- 60cm 60cm tor should be installed at least 60 cm away from the corners of the room. Smoke Radiators, window sills, windows and even furniture affect the circu- lation of air. Ideally you should mount it to the ceiling in the centre of the room.
Page 12
For example, reinforced concrete ceilings or electric floor-heating systems can hinder reception between several floors. Electric cables, electric devices or metal objects can also reduce the range. It can be difficult to install the smoke detector in the following rooms and locations: •...
9. Installation Please make sure you read the information on selecting an installation location provided in section 8. • Remove the smoke detector’s upper plate by carefully twisting the upper plate and the lower plate against each other (anticlockwise). The upper and lower plates can only be locked firmly, once the batteries have been inserted.
10. Initial operation Initial operation varies for the two ‘HMS 100’ and ‘FHZ 1000’ systems. Please make sure you read the following subsections. a) Setting the house code for the smoke detector You only need to set this house code, if the smoke detector is operated as part of the ‘FHZ 1000’...
Ext. Alarm Ext. Alarm 1000’. • Use the scroller to set the house code that you previously set for the ‘RM 100-2 Uni-S’ smoke detectors. • Press the ‘PROG’ button. The setting is applied and the menu closes. • It is not necessary to separately register the smoke detector to the ‘FHZ 1000’. Only the...
Switching the ‘HMS 100’ function on and off The ‘RM 100-2 Uni-S’ radio smoke detectors transmit a status signal every 30 minutes (including, amongst other things, the battery level) to the ‘HMS 100 Z’ central unit. DIP switch 5 must be in the ‘ON’ position for this function to work.
d) Starting the sensor search on the ‘HMS 100 Z’ You only need to set this, if the smoke detector is operated as part of the ‘HMS 100’ system! Proceed as follows: • When the ‘HMS 100 Z’ is in normal operation, press the ‘MENU’ button. ‘Störungen Störungen Störungen Störungen...
10 d). • Insert three new AA batteries (LR06, Conrad item no. 650117, for example) into the three battery holders, making sure that the polarity is correct. Useful figures are located in the battery compartments.
f) Completing the sensor search on the ‘HMS 100 Z’ You only need to set this, if the smoke detector is operated as part of the ‘HMS 100’ system! • Once the central unit has received the signal from the radio smoke detector, ‘Sensor xx Sensor xx Sensor xx Sensor xx...
11. Function control and operation a) Control panel & function test • After mounting the smoke detector you should carry out a function test. A Opening for acoustic signal trans- mitter B Test button with LED indicator C Optical signal transmitter (emer- gency light) lights up together with the acoustic signal transmitter •...
b) Alarm indicator on the ‘HMS 100 Z’ When an alarm is triggered the ‘ ’ symbol should appear on the central unit’s display (select display type ‘Aktuell’). The smoke detector transmits a status signal to the control centre every 30 minutes, which serves to control the connection and also includes the battery level.

To replace the batteries make sure you follow the instructions provided in section 13. For safety reasons, a particular procedure must be followed when replacing the batteries, if the smoke detector is part of a ‘HMS 100’ radio system (the central unit stores the battery level as a ‘fault’...
12. Wired connection of several smoke detectors Many installation locations allow no radio reception or only poor reception. This may be due to how the building is constructed, for example, (reinforced concrete, metal-dampened insulation glass windows, metal doors and so on). Also see section 15 ‘Information on the radio range’.

• Pull the cable terminal out slightly and insert the stripped cable ends into the terminals. When doing so, make sure you observe the correct wiring, see the figure above! Always connect the positive terminals with one another and then the negative terminals.
13. Replacing the batteries a) General information Stop a moment! Please read the following pages before you replace the batteries. When high-quality alkaline batteries are used, the batteries in the smoke detector can last for longer than 3 years (if no alarm is set off). When using conventional devices you normally only notice that their batteries are flat when the devices no longer work (in the case of a radio or a remote control, for example).
b) Setting the ‘HMS 100 Z’ to the maintenance mode You only need to set this, if the smoke detector is operated as part of the ‘HMS 100’ system! • In normal operation press the ‘MENU’ button. ‘Störungen bearbeiten Störungen bearbeiten’...
d) Replacing the batteries If you have registered the smoke detector with a ‘HMS 100 Z’, you should first set the central unit to the maintenance mode. Do not remove the batteries yet! To do this, please read the instructions provided on the previous page in section 13 c).
d) Quitting the maintenance mode of the ‘HMS 100 Z’ You only need to set this, if the smoke detector is operated as part of the ‘HMS 100’ system! • Once the central unit has received the sensor’s new address, it transmits the following notification ‘Sensor x, xx Sensor x, xx”...
14. Escape plan Even if, at first glance, you think this seems overcautious: Establish an escape plan for each room of your house or apartment. The plan should include the following: • The fastest and safest way out of the building •...

Prefabricated buildings that have a lot of wooden elements are more susceptible to fire than conventional buildings, which are made of stone. However, the dangers posed by carpets, wooden ceilings, wooden floors, furniture, curtains and so on are the same for both types of buildings. Flames are less dangerous than the toxic smoke that is generated by a fire.
15. Information on the radio range Ranges and interference • The smoke detector works in the 868 MHz range, which is also used by other radio services. Therefore devices that operate on the same or neighbouring frequencies may restrict both its operation and its range.
16. Maintenance and cleaning The product requires no servicing except for battery replacement. Any repairs should be carried out by a skilled technician or professional workshop. Clean the product with a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth. To remove heavier dirt, use a cloth which is slightly moistened with lukewarm water. Do not use any solvent-based cleaning agents as these may damage the plastic casing.
