DESCRIPTION
Photoelectric smoke alarm with sealed in non-replaceable battery. The alarm is to be mounted
on to the base provided. This smoke alarm is particularly sensitive for detecting visible micro-
particles (associated with smouldering fires).
INSTALLATION LOCATION GUIDE
1. The locations must comply with the applicable building regulations which is BS 5839-
6:2013 in the UK. This provides guidance on the number, types and positioning of alarms.
In general, smoke alarms should be installed in every circulation space such as hallways,
landings, bedrooms and principal living spaces (living room). Larger spaces may require the
use of more than one alarm.
2. Smoke alarms should be installed on each and every storey of the property.
3. Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the preferred location.
The air is 'dead' and does not move into corners, therefore smoke alarms must be
mounted away from corners. Position the alarm at least 30cm away from walls and
corners and 30cm away from any light fitting or decorative object which may obstruct
smoke entering the alarm (see the diagram 1).
4. When the ceiling is slanting, the alarm needs to be installed minimum 50cm away from the
highest ceiling point in the room (see diagram 2).
NOTE: This smoke alarm is also suitable for use in leisure vehicles with accommodation.
For further help and information on types and location of fire detection alarms refer to BS
5839-6:2013 in the UK and the current Fire Safety Guidance for your region provided by the
relevant Government Departments.
CAUTION: Research indicates that substantial increases in warning time can be obtained
with each properly installed additional alarm. It is strongly recommended that the advice above
is followed to ensure maximum protection.
IMPORTANT: These smoke alarms are intended primarily for use in single occupancy
private dwellings. For use in other applications the manufacturers advice should be sought.

LOCATIONS TO AVOID
DO NOT install smoke alarms:
1. In bathrooms, kitchens, garages or other rooms where the alarm may be triggered by
steam, condensation, dust or normal heat/smoke from appliances.
2. Closer than 3 metres from areas with high humidity such as bathrooms, and areas near
dishwashers or washing machines.
3. Closer than 1 metre from areas near ventilation air returns or heating and cooling supply
vents, as the air movement could blow smoke away from the alarm, therefore interrupting
its ability to detect the smoke and raise the alarm.
4. In rooms where temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C, as this could cause
false/nuisance alarms.
5. In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas where particles may interfere/obstruct
the smoke alarm operation.
6. Near air conditioning alarms or ventilation grilles/louvres.
Further help and information may be found in BS 5839-6:2013.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Caution: This alarm should be installed by a competent person.
NOTE: Please pair all wireless alarms before installing in final locations – see
instructions below.
To activate the Smoke Alarm
1. Before installing the alarm, it needs to be activated. To do this, press the TEST/HUSH
button and hold down for 3 seconds or until the LED indicator shows and a 'beep' is
heard.
2. Once this has been heard, release the button within 3 seconds, the alarm will 'beep' again,
indicating that it has been successfully activated and is now in operational mode.
Wireless Interlink Set Up
1. Ensure alarm activation is complete as above for all alarms being interlinked (maximum 40
alarms).
2. Select one of the alarms as the MASTER alarm (make a note of which alarm is the
MASTER). Treat all other alarms as SLAVE alarms.
3. Press the TEST/HUSH button on the MASTER alarm 3 times within 2 seconds and the
red LED will start to flash quickly. The alarm is now in pairing mode and ready to be
paired to SLAVE alarms. The MASTER alarm will remain in this mode for 90 seconds.
4. Whilst the MASTER alarm is in pairing mode, press the TEST/HUSH button on any
SLAVE alarm 3 times within 2 seconds. The SLAVE alarm learns this signal and connects
to the MASTER alarm. Pairing is complete after a 'beep' is heard and the LED will flash
once.
5. Repeat the above steps for all remaining SLAVE alarms.
Testing and operation
Note: It is important to test the alarm using the TEST/HUSH button
immediately following installation, to ensure the alarm is working correctly,
and that any interlinked alarms are connected correctly.
To cancel the wireless interlink between alarms
At times it may be necessary to cancel the wireless link between the alarms – please see steps
below to do this.
1. Press the TEST/HUSH button on any SLAVE alarm 3 times within 2 seconds, the red LED
will start to flash quickly.
Diagram 2
2. Then press and hold the TEST/HUSH button again until the red light goes out and then
release the button immediately. The red LED will then flash slowly.
3. Then press the TEST/HUSH button again, and the SLAVE alarm will 'beep' 3 times. This
indicates that the SLAVE alarm is no longer interlinked with the other alarms.
CAUTION: This alarm MUST be 'activated' before entering use, otherwise it will not
function. This alarm is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with up to 40 alarms in one
system.
This alarm is not designed to communicate with wireless alarms from other brands or
manufacturers. These alarms need to be in pairing mode or be wirelessly interlinked in order
to communicate with each other.
If one alarm activates, all other interlinked alarms will also sound. Only successfully interlinked
alarms can cancel the wireless interlink. Cancelling the wireless interlink only removes the
wireless interlink from the SLAVE alarm. The MASTER alarm cannot cancel the wireless
interlink. FSB10W Smoke Alarms can be interconnected all other wireless interlink alarms in
the Firechief® Home Alarm range.
