Page 4: Positioning Your Smoke Alarm
www.acornfiresecurity.com This is because an upstairs smoke alarm is unlikely to detect a fire on lower floors in sufficient time to ensure an adequate escape. (c) Maximum Protection. For maximum protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all the rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid, mentioned on page 5). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, followed by the kitchen and then the dining room. - Page 5 www.acornfiresecurity.com (b) Wall Mounting. When a ceiling position is not practical (for example on a ceiling having exposed beams or joists, or built-in radiant heating) put the top edge of your Smoke Alarm between 15 and 30 cm (6 and 12 inches) below the ceiling. Keep at least 15cm (6 inches) from corners.
- Page 6 www.acornfiresecurity.com Installing your Smoke Alarm (a) Attaching to Ceiling or Wall. (NB: for wiring the Ei100C Interconnect model see page 9) The Smoke Alarm is battery operated and needs no wiring, (Ei100C excepted). Use figure 6 below, as a help in mounting.

Page 10: Important Safeguards
www.acornfiresecurity.com After wiring together the Interconnect Smoke Alarms, test the first unit by pressing the button. All the detectors should alarm and the test button on the first unit will flash about once every 2 seconds. Check all the other units similarly. When interconnected units are in alarm, the red flashing light indicates the unit sensing smoke. These Smoke Alarms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single family living unit. - Page 11 www.acornfiresecurity.com • When removing battery, handle carefully to avoid possible eye damage or skin irritation if battery has leaked or corroded. • To maintain sensitivity to smoke, do not paint or cover smoke alarm in any manner; do not permit any accumulation of cobwebs, dust or grease. • The chamber located in the center of the Smoke Alarm contains a small amount of radioactive material.
