Safety instructions
- The smoke detector generates a powerful and
shrill noise, which can be harmful to your ears.
Keep at least a 50 cm distance from the detector
while performing the function test.
- Never use rechargeable batteries, or main sup-
ply circuits for power supply. This could cause malfunctioning or
early breakdown of the detector.
- Never paint the smoke detector.
- Please note: Smoke detectors will always identify the smoke of a
fire. They will not identify the flame itself.
- Smoke detectors are not able to extinguish any fire. In case of
alarm evacuate the building and call the fire service.
- The smoke detector is capable to survey only a defined zone
around its own position. For optimum protection, ensure that a
sufficient number of detectors are installed in the area to be
monitored.
- Persons under the influence of alcohol or drugs may have difficulty
hearing the alarm.
Attention!
Danger of explosion, during incorrect fitting of the battery.
Only exchange for the same or similar type of battery.

Place of installation

The smoke detector performs best when installed on the ceiling in the
centre of the room. If this is not possible, ensure the detector is at least
50 cm from the wall.
To be sure that you are woken up by the smoke alarm at night,
detectors should be placed in all bedrooms to provide minimum pro-
tection. In houses with several floors one smoke detector should be
placed in the hallway of each floor.

Unsuitable places for installation

To avoid false alarms and malfunctions, never install the smoke detector:
- inside rooms where heavy vapour, dust or smoke develop under
regular conditions (bath, kitchen)
- near to fireplaces and open fires
- near to ventilation systems. The flow of air may deviate the smoke
so it will never reach the detector
- near to neon lamps and energy saving lamps. The starter may
cause false alarms by electric fields that arise when turning on the
lamp (minimum distance: 50 cm)
- in edges – for example house gables - in such areas smoke free
air can accumulate and the identification of fire is hindered
- inside rooms with temperatures beneath -10°C or above +60°C

Installation

I. Fix base (1) using the enclosed assembling parts (2). Do not
allow the detectors to get dirty through occurring bore dust.
Do not use countersunk head bolts.
II. Connect the 9V lithium battery with the battery clip and in-
sert the battery in the battery tray.
III. Place the smoke detector (3) in the base and lock it by turn-
ing it gently clockwise.
IV. Proceed to the function test (see chapter "Function test").
