RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE!
This manual contains important information for correct installation and
use of your smoke alarm. Please read this information carefully and
retain these instructions for future reference.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Correct usage will ensure you have valuable extra time to escape. Every
correctly installed smoke alarm will increase your potential escape time.
• This smoke alarm warns you in case of fire and smoke. For the specifications
of the smoke alarm, read carefully "Function and meaning of the light and
sound signals"
• Retain this manual in a safe and easily accessible place, for example in the
meter cupboard.
• A smoke alarm is not a fire-prevention measure.
• Install the smoke alarm in the correct place, if possible in the middle of the
ceiling.
WARNING: Read carefully chapter "Never install a smoke alarm"
• Keep the smoke alarm out of the reach of children.
• Test the smoke alarm on a monthly basis and after a period of absence.
CAUTION: Never test with fire!
• Clean the smoke alarm regularly (once a month) using the soft brush from a
vacuum cleaner. In addition the smoke alarm can also be cleaned using a
moist cloth.
• If the smoke alarm emits a beeping sound every 40 seconds, this means that
the back-up battery is nearly flat and needs to be replaced. Press the
test button to hush the signal for 10 hours.
• The lifespan of smoke alarms is 10 years.
• A false alarm can be silenced by briefly pressing the test and silence button.
• You can make your smoke alarm less sensitive for 10 minutes by briefly pres-
sing the test button. The smoke alarm will nevertheless sound the alarm if the
quantity of smoke is too significant.

• Plan TWO escape routes and practice these with all members of the family.
• Agree upon a location, where everyone goes to in case of a fire.
KLASSE II
In the event of a fire:
• Leave the building immediately and go to the agreed location.
• Make sure everyone has left the building.
• Close the doors behind you and never open a warm door. In case of a warm
door, choose a different escape route.
• In the event of considerable build-up of smoke, crawl out of the building kee-
ping as close to the floor as possible.
• Wherever possible, breathe through a cloth (preferably moist), or else hold
your breath as much as you can. The majority of deaths and injuries are cau-
sed by smoke inhalation rather than fire itself.
Performance:
• Call the fire brigade outside or at the neighbours.

• NEVER go back into a burning building.

POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM

Recommended locations:

Minimum protection:
In all rooms, such as bedrooms, living room, study and suchlike, as
well as along escape routes such as corridor or hallway.
Maximum protection:
- Smoke alarm in all rooms (with the exception of bathrooms,
kitchen, garages, etc.)
- Heat alarms can be installed in bathrooms, kitchens, airing cup-
boards, utility rooms, etc. within 5 metres of a potential source of fire.

• The smoke alarm should preferably be installed in the middle of the ceiling, at
least 50 cm from the wall.
• In the case of pitched roofs, install the smoke alarm on the sloping wall, at least
90 cm (measured vertically) from the ridge of the roof.
• See figure 1 & 2 for minimum and maximum protection.
• Ensure that the smoke alarm can always be reached for testing and cleaning.
Never install a smoke alarm:
• In bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages, etc. Places where a
smoke alarm may go off needlessly due to condensation, normal
smoke or gases. A smoke alarm should be fitted at least 5 metres from
such sources of smoke.
• Places where the temperature may exceed 40°C or fall below 0°C,
for example in attics, just above a fireplace, etc.
• In the vicinity of (or adjacent to) decorative objects, doors, sockets,
lights, fittings, windows, wall ventilators, etc. which could mean that
smoke does not reach the smoke alarm. Minimum 50cm away.
• Surfaces that are usually warmer or colder than the rest of the room.
Differences in temperature can prevent smoke from reaching the
smoke alarm.
• Adjacent to or directly above stoves or heaters.
• In very high or difficult to reach places. This makes it hard to reach the
smoke alarm to test or clean it.
• In very dusty or dirty places. Accumulation of dust will prevent smoke
from reaching the smoke chamber and in time will lead to a false alarm.
• Within 1 metre of dimmer switches and wiring. Some dimmer switches can trig-
ger a fault in the smoke alarm.
• Within 1.5 metres of fluorescent lights. Electrical impulses can adversely affect
the functioning of the smoke alarm.
• Outdoors and in spaces where a large number of insects are found. Small
insects in the unit's detection chamber can disrupt the functioning of the smoke
alarm.
This smoke alarm is designed for permanent mounting with power connection via
the built-in terminal block. The bottom (mounting) plate can be screwed directly
to a single standard flush mount box against the ceiling. The smoke alarm requi-
res a power supply of 50mA. The smoke alarm must not be exposed to moisture
or leakage.
Important information is located on the bottom of the smoke alarm.
RECOMMENDATION: it is possible to mount the base plate and power
connection of the FIT-230RF and FIT-230RFL already during construction.
At a later stage, when dust and dirt have been cleared away, the smoke alarm
can be slid onto the base plate. The smoke alarm should not be connected to the
electricalwiring when it is tested with high voltages.
CAUTION: During renovations or remodelling work, temporarily remove the
smoke alarm. After completion of the work, vacuum the smoke alarm with the
soft brush of the vacuum cleaner, place it back on the bottom plate and test it
with the test button.
