Description:
This product is a photoelectric smoke detector operated on a
9V battery (GP 1604S). The battery life is at least 1 year. A
photoelectric smoke detector is sensitive to slow smouldering
fires, which generally produce thick, black smoke at low heat
and smoulder for hours before developing open flames. This
smoke detector does not contain any radioactive or polluting
material.
At least 1 smoke detector should be installed in every room
(except the bathroom) and in every other area of the house. It
must be ensured that the people in the house can hear the
alarm signal and react to it. For a minimum of security, one
smoke detector should be installed in the corridor between the
living and sleeping areas and one smoke detector in each bed-
room.
For a typical one-story dwelling, it is recommended that a
smoke detector be mounted on the ceiling of each bedroom
and in the corridor in front of each individual sleeping area.

If the corridor to the various bedrooms is more than 9 m long,
install a smoke detector at each end of the corridor.
For a typical multi-story dwelling, it is recommended that
one smoke alarm be mounted in the ceiling of each bedroom
and one in the corridor before each sleeping area. If the corri-
dor to the various bedrooms is more than 9 m long, install a
smoke detector at each end of the corridor. Furthermore,
mount a detector at the top of the stairs from the first to the
second floor. If there is a basement, also mount a detector on
the basement ceiling at the foot of the basement stairs.
Important safety information
1: With the test button you can check the correct function of
the smoke detector. Do not use any other test method.
Check the detector once a week to ensure proper operation.
2: Do not remove or disconnect the battery as this would ren-
der the smoke alarm inoperable.
3: This smoke alarm should only be installed by a licensed,
qualified electrician. During installation, all national instal-
lation and building regulations must be observed and fol-
lowed.
4: This smoke detector is designed to be used in apartments or
houses only where people are living. In apartment build-
ings, each individual residential unit must be equipped
with its own smoke detectors. Do not install the smoke de-
tector in any non-residential building. Use of this smoke
detector is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
5: A smoke detector can only detect a fire early in its immedi-
ate vicinity. If a fire starts in a remote part of the house, on
another level not equipped with detectors, in a chimney, a
roof, or on the opposite side of a closed door, the smoke
cannot reach the smoke detector in time and the detector
cannot trigger the alarm in time.
