Mounting The mounting plate is usually only clipped on, since the cap can only be locked fully after the battery is activated. Remove the mounting plate and use the two mounting holes to mark the drill holes at the desired location. Drill the holes, insert the dowels and screw the mounting plate. Place the smoke detector on the mounting plate and turn the device clockwise until it snaps into place. 65cm = Do not install the smoke detector in this area Installation location • Smoke detectors must be installed on the ceiling at least 65 cm from the nea- rest corner or wall. • Smoke detectors must be placed at least 30 cm from electronic junction boxes and at least 150 cm from fluorescent lamps. • Install at least 2 smoke detectors - one per floor - and one per room for extra protection. Install the smoke detector on the ceiling in the centre of the room. • Preferably place the smoke alarm system directly next to the bedroom. Try to keep the emergency escape routes from the bedrooms clear as these rooms are usually the furthest from the exit. If there is more than one sleeping area, install additional systems in each sleeping space. • Install alarm systems to protect stairwells, as these can act as vents, helping smoke and fire to spread. Smoke and other combustion residues rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Preferably install smoke detectors along the emergency escape route for additional safety. Unsuitable installation locations • Do not install smoke detectors in an area where there are likely to be drafts, e.g. near air-conditioning or ventilation systems.

• Ensure that smoke detectors are easily accessible for test and maintenance purposes. • Do not install them in rooms with high air humidity (shower rooms, bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms), in rooms with high temperature fluctuations (> +50° or < +0°C) or in rooms in which the detectors may become contaminated by vehicle emissions, dust and dirt (garages, boiler rooms, etc.). Use a heat detec- tor here if necessary. • Do not install smoke detectors on the ceilings of mobile homes, caravans or similar spaces. In mobile homes and caravans, the smoke detector should be installed on internal panels (walls) in order to avoid a thermal barrier, which can build up under ceilings. The sun’s rays heat the ceiling and the air in the upper part of the space. Hot air under the ceiling can prevent the smoke of a dangerous, smouldering fire from reaching the smoke detector; therefore place your smoke detector on the wall of the mobile home, caravan or similar space. Basic principles of an escape plan Draw up a floor plan which includes all doors and windows, and at least two escape routes from each room. Windows on the first floor may require a rope or ladder. Hold a family meeting to discuss the escape plan and tell everyone what they need to do in the event of a fire. Specify a location outside of your house as a meeting point in the event of a fire. Familiarise everyone in your household with the noise of the smoke alarm system and ask that they all leave the house if they hear this noise. Identify children’s bedrooms with a red sticker in the top left corner of the window pane. These stickers are available from your local fire...

• Welding and cutting • Soldering and other work with an open flame • Sawing and grinding • Dust resulting from construction or cleaning measures • Steam, cooking fumes or odors • Extreme electromagnetic influences • Temperature fluctuations, which lead to condensation of mousture within the smoke detector In case of works (eg. renovation) near the smoke detector, which could trigger a false alarm, the device should be covered or removed completely. Once the works have been completed, the smoke detector must be put back into operation with its original functionality (see Commissioning and Installation). In case the unit sounds an alarm, please check immediately whether a fire exists. If so, call the fire department. If not, please check the list above for a false alarm. We would like to point out that we are not accountable for the consequences of a false alarm. We do not defray any costs resulting from a false alarm, such as a police operation, the fire brigade or a key service. Muting the alarm (mute mode) If a false alarm is triggered (e.g. by kitchen vapours), press the „Test“ button on the smoke detector to mute the alarm signal for approx. 10 minutes. The red LED will flash once every 8 seconds to indicate that the smoke detector alarm is...

ATTENTION: Before activating the alarm Stop function, determine the cause of the smoke emissions and ensure that there is no further danger. DANGER: If the alarm sounds (and it is not being tested), this means that the de- vice has detected smoke. WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS, YOU MUST GIVE IT YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. Combustion particles, which may also be caused by cooking, may trigger an alarm if the device is located near a cooker. It is common for large quantities of combustion particles and smoke to be generated during cooking. If the system issues an alarm, first check whether there is actually a fire. If you do discover a fire, call the fire service. If there is no fire, check whether one of the causes men- tioned above could have triggered the alarm. Test red green Press the test button on the front panel after LED alarm indicator mounting the device. The fast flashing of the red LED alarm indicator and the acoustic Beep signal confirm that the smoke detector is Test-button working properly. You have now activated the silent operation mode with lower sensi- tivity, which will be automatically switched to normal operating mode after approx. 9 minutes. Alternatively, press the test button again to switch modes directly. You can find an overview of the various statuses and their characteristics here: Normal operation The LED (red) flashes approx. every 5 minutes, no alarm signal Alarm mode or test The LED (red) flashes and the alarm sounds conti-...
Maintenance and cleaning In addition to weekly tests, it is necessary to clean the smoke detector on a re- gular basis to remove dust, dirt and deposits. Clean the smoke detector at least once a month. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush. Vacuum all sides and the cover of the smoke detector. This smoke detector is fitted with a battery monitoring system. When the battery is low, the detector will emit a beep approx. every 40 seconds and the red LED will flash simultaneously for a period of at least 30 days. If the battery is defective or another fault occurs, please refer to the “Trou- bleshooting” section for a solution. If a fault occurs during the warranty period, please contact your distributor. WARNING: The battery is sealed within the detector. It is not replaceable. Please exchange the smoke detector for a new detector when you hear the beep indica- ting a low battery. IMPORTANT: Never open the cover to clean inside the smoke detector. This will invalidate your warranty. Do not use any cleaning products which contain carbonic acid, benzene, alcohol or similar substances. Such substances attack the surface of the device and their vapours are hazardous to health and explosive. Do not use any sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers, wire brushes or similar to clean the device. Useful safety precautions In certain situations, a smoke alarm system may prove ineffective.
• Avoid hard impacts, as they can damage the electronic circuits. • The device must only be opened and repaired by authorised specialists. • Wireless systems may be exposed to interference by wireless telephones, microwaves and other electronic devices which function in the 433 MHz range. Maintain a MINIMUM DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 3 METRES during installation and operation. Protecting the environment At the end of its service life, this product must not be disposed of with the nor- mal domestic waste. It must be taken to an assembly point for the recycling of electrical and electronic devices. This is indicated by the symbol on the product, the instruction manual or packa- ging. The materials and substances can be recycled according to their marking. The reutilisation of recycled substances or other forms or recycling of old devices significantly helps the environment. Please contact your local authority for infor- mation regarding the relevant disposal points. Always dispose of empty batteries at municipal or known collection points.
