AVOID THESE LOCATIONS
• Situations where the temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C for extended
periods.
• Humid areas such as BATHROOMS, KITCHENS, SHOWER ROOMS where the
relative humidity may exceed 90% as vapour will cause false alarms.
• Near a DECORATIVE OBJECT, DOOR, LIGHT FITTING, WINDOW MOULDING etc.,
that may prevent smoke entering the alarm.
• Fume filled environments such as GARAGES, exhaust gases may cause false
alarms.
• Adjacent to or directly above hot components such as RADIATORS or WALL VENTS
that can affect the direction of air currents.
• In VERY DUSTY OR DIRTY environments such as workshops.
• Locate alarm at least 1.5m and route wiring at least 1m away from FLUORESCENT
LIGHT FITTINGS as electrical 'noise' and/or flickering may affect the alarm. Do not
wire into same circuit as fluorescent lights or dimmers.
• Do not locate in INSECT INFECTED AREAS, insects and contamination on the alarm
sensor can increase its response time.
INSTALLATION
Important Safety Notices:
• This Alarm should be installed by a competent person
• The Battery is Non-Replaceable, any attempt to replace the battery may cause

RF WIRELESS INTERCONNECTION
(HSA/BP/RF10-PRO only)
To commence wireless pairing, all Alarms must be switched on. The Alarm switches on
when the baseplate is twisted onto the Alarm head. Align the baseplate with the Alarm
and rotate the Alarm in a clockwise direction.

To ensure the Alarm is switched on press and release the test button on the front, a loud
Alarm should briefly sound. You can now begin pairing.
1. On First Alarm:
• Press and hold the Pairing Button for 5 seconds until the Red LED lights up.
• The Red LED will stay ON for 2.5 minutes, this indicates the alarm is in Pairing Mode.
2. On ALL Additional Alarms
• Press the Pairing Button 2 times, the Red LED will flash 5 times.
• The Alarm is now paired.
NOTE: The Alarms can only be tested when the First Alarm is out of
Pairing Mode, the First Alarm will automatically exit Pairing Mode
after 2.5min.
3. Clearing Pairing Memory
• To clear RF Pairing, Press the Pairing button 5 times and the Red LED light will flash
10 times.
4. Testing
• Prior to MOUNTING ensure all of the Alarms are connected.
• Press and hold the Test button for at least 20 Seconds on any Alarm and ensure they
all sound.
NOTE: The Alarms will remained paired even when removed from
their mounting base.
• All the fire alarms should be interconnected to ensure the early warning will be heard,
particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly designed early warning fire system
ensures the alarm is given before the escape routes become blocked with smoke.
• If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection you should fit an alarm in a
corridor or hallway between the sleeping and living areas (incl. Kitchens). Place it as
near to the living areas as possible and ensure the audible alarm can be heard when
the bedrooms are occupied. See Figure 7 for examples.
• If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection one alarm should be fitted at the
bottom of the staircase with further alarms fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes
basements but excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics. See Figure 7 for
examples
NOTE: For maximum protection an alarm should be fitted in every room (except the
Fixing
Holes bathroom).
Ceiling Mounting
• As hot smoke rises and spreads out, it is advisable to mount on a ceiling in a central
position. Avoid areas where there is no air circulation. e.g. Corners of rooms and keep
away from items which may prevent the free flow of air. Place the unit at least 300 mm
from any light fitting or decorative object which might obstruct smoke entering the
alarm. Keep at least 300 mm away from walls. See Figure 5.
Wall Mounting
• Do not mount tight into the corners. Put the top edge of your smoke alarm between 150
and 300mm below the ceiling. Keep at least 300mm from room corners. See Figure 5
On a Sloping Ceiling
• In areas with sloping or peaked ceilings install your alarm in accordance with Figure
6 because "dead air" at the apex may prevent smoke from reaching the unit.

Test/Hush Button
Before installing the fire alarm, it is crucial to thoroughly review the provided instructions.
The fire alarm is composed of two parts: the mount base assembly and the alarm unit. It
is recommended to keep the alarm unit protected by a plastic dust cover; and separate it
until the building commissioning phase. This phase usually involves activities like
sanding, preparing for painting, actual painting, and floor laying.
Fig.9
Please follow these steps to mount the fire alarm:
1. Choose a suitable location on the ceiling that complies with section POSITIONING
OF THE ALARM.
2. Separate the mounting base from the alarm head.
3. Locate the mounting plate on the ceiling in its exact final position and mark the
location of the screw holes.
4. Using a 5mm drill bit, drill the hole locations. Be vigilant of any electrical wiring or
pipework in the area.
5. Insert the provided Wall Plugs into the holes and screw the mounting plate to the
ceiling. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

The fire alarm is enclosed in a plastic dust cover for the following reasons:
1. To provide protection for the alarm unit from dust during the building construction
phase.
Keep the alarm head, while in the dust cover, separate until the building commission
phase to prevent dust accumulation and battery degradation.
During the commissioning process, it is necessary to remove the dust cover and
securely attach the alarm unit to the mounting base.
STEPS TO ACTIVATE THE FIRE ALARM:
1. Remove the alarm unit from the dust cover.
2. Fill out the 'Date of Installation' Label located on the side of the alarm.
3. Align the fixing points on the head unit with the plastic lugs on the mounting
base.
4. Rotate the Alarm head Clockwise until it turns no further. The battery activates
when twisting into the mounting base.
Note: The battery will activate once the alarm unit is inserted into the
mounting base. It is designed to provide a 10-year lifespan during regular
operation.
5. The alarm is now securely attached to the mounting base, a red flashing LED
will illuminate every 40-60 seconds to signal normal operation. If any other
sequence of flashing LEDs occur, refer to the INDICATION AND ACTION
section of this manual.
6. Press and HOLD the test button for up to 20 seconds, the alarm will sound and trigger
any other interconnected units within this period.
Note: After the Test/Hush button has been pressed, wait 10 minutes before
any additional testing is conducted to avoid any abnormal responses as the
smoke alarm is less sensitive to smoke during this period.
WARNING: In case you encounter frequent false alarms, we
recommend relocating the device away from any potential fume
sources. If the alarm continues to trigger false alarms even when
there is no smoke present, it might require maintenance or
cleaning.
