GENErAl INFOrMAtION

Congratulations on your purchase of our unique 10-year wireless
smoke detector.
This smoke detector is designed to detect and give warning of smoke
particles which arise during the incomplete combustion which takes
place at the start of a fire.
If more than one Capidi smoke detector is used, all paired devices will
emit an alarm in the event of a fire, providing they are correctly installed
and regularly maintained.
It is therefore important to read this manual carefully.
lOCAtION OF SMOKE DEtECtOr
• For maximum protection, a smoke detector should be installed in
every room (except the kitchen, bathroom and garage) (Fig. 1).
• For maximum protection, one smoke detector should be installed in
every bedroom and one near the kitchen. In multi-storey dwellings,
one detector should be installed on each floor, in the stairwell (Fig. 1).
• For minimal protection, one smoke detector should be installed on
each floor, in the hallway between the bedrooms and the other living
areas. Position it as close to the living areas as possible and check
that the alarm can be clearly heard from the bedrooms.
• Smoke detectors should not be installed in the kitchen/bathroom/
garage, as kitchen fumes/steam/exhaust fumes can trigger the
alarm.
• Smoke detectors should not be installed in the vicinity of
ventilation openings.
