    868MHz narrow band transmitters. The unit contains an integrated radio transmitter. The DET-RSMOKE provides detection of smoke or potential fire. It is however important to note that the DET-RSMOKE is not designed to be compliant with the EN54 or other local statutory standards covering fire alarm systems that automatically contact the fire services.

  • Page 4: Specification

  • Page 5: Preparation

    PREPARATION The detector is shipped from the factory with batteries fitted. A plastic tag between the terminals of two batteries prevents them operating the detector. Activate The Batteries Remove the mounting plate (if fitted), see Figure 1 Locked Unlocked Figure 1 Open the battery compartment, see Figure 2 on the next page.
  • Page 6 The activity LED flashes eight times. This indicates that the detector is working. Note: If the activity LED flashes once a second and the sounder chirps once every 10 seconds then a fault has occurred. Replace the batteries. 1. Batteries 1.

  • Page 7: Activity Led Control

    LED on the detector is as close as possible to the IR learn sensor. Wait at least 60s after removing the batteries and then re-fit the batteries. (This ensures that the DET-RSMOKE starts up correctly.) The activity LED flashes eight times. The infra-red part of the light carries the detector’s identity to the learn sensor.

  • Page 8: Siting

    Each of these functions can be affected by the environment around the detector. Detecting Smoke The DET-RSMOKE is an optical smoke detector. This is one of the most common types of smoke detector in use. An optical smoke detector works by admitting a continuous flow of air to a small chamber that is shielded from all external light.

  • Page 9: Audible Alarm Sounder

    Audible Alarm Sounder The DET-RSMOKE uses a piezo electric sounder that produces at least 85dB(A) of sound 3m away from the detector. The volume of the alarm sound can be reduced by distance, closed doors, heavy drapes or positioning the detector behind furniture or other items.
  • Page 10 • Place at least one detector on every floor of the house. To ensure that receivers can pick up radio signals from the DET-RSMOKE: • Place detectors high up. •...

  • Page 11: Where Not To Place The Detector

    Where NOT to Place the Detector Do not place the detector in areas that smoke reaches slowly: • Avoid ‘dead’ spaces. Dead spaces include the angle between wall and ceiling: 100mm CEILING Centre of 100mm ceiling 150mm Never here WALL Best location Acceptable location location...
  • Page 12 • Avoid the angle at the top of a pitched ceiling: 900mm Horizontal distance from peak. Figure 6 • Avoid ‘closed’ rooms or cupboards if you are only fitting one or a few detectors. If you are going to fit several detectors then put one in each room where the door is normally closed.

  • Page 13: Examples

    • Avoid the fresh air stream from ventilators or air conditioners. The flow of air will blow any smoke away from the detector. Do not place the detector in areas where there may be cause for a false alarm. Avoid: •...

  • Page 17: What The Detector Cannot Do

    What the Detector Cannot Do The DET-RSMOKE is designed for use in a small family home or apartment, or small of- fice. It has the following limitations that are shared by many optical smoke detectors: The smoke detector cannot detect a fire if smoke cannot reach the sensor. Smoke from...

  • Page 18: Operation

    1. Mounting flange 2. Fixing hole (two sizes) 3. Orientation pointers to align with line of wall Figure 10 Fix the mounting plate into position. Mount the detector on the mounting plate by aligning the curved rib on the base of the detector with the curved slot in the plate. OPERATION During normal operation the detector is silent.

  • Page 19: Silencing An Alarm

    If the unit’s internal circuits detect a fault then the sounder chirps once every ten seconds, the activity flashes once a second, and the unit sends a radio signal to the receiver. Silencing an Alarm To silence the sounder on the smoke detector press the Test button once briefly (see Figure 3).

  • Page 20: Service

    changing them! Always test the alarm immediately after returning from holiday or after a longer period of absence. Under the test button, there is a red activity LED. When this LED is enabled (see page 7) it flashes about once every minute. This shows that the batteries are correctly connected.
  • Page 21 If, after replacing the batteries the sounder continues to chirp once every 10 seconds then the unit has a fault. If the unit is still in warranty return the unit to your supplier. Please dispose of used batteries responsibly using the recommended method in your area. If you have to dispose of the alarm unit then please observe the WEEE regulations for electronic waste.
