  • Page 19 The latest design, materials and manufacturing techniques have been used in the construction of Brooks Alarms to minimise the effects of contamination. However, it is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination, and therefore, to prolong the life of the Alarm you must ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up.

  • Page 20: Fire Safety Advice

    In certain circumstances even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber causing the alarm to sound. Contamination is beyond our control, it is totally unpredictable and is considered normal wear and tear. For this reason, contamination is not covered by the guarantee and a charge is made for all such servicing work.
