Thank you for purchasing Quell 240V hard-wired photoelectric
smoke alarm. Please read through our guide in full. It should be
retained for future reference.

Box.
Chubb Fire & Security Pty Limited recommends for maximum
protection that both ionisation and photo-electric (optical) smoke
alarms be installed. Ionisation sensing alarms may detect
invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
detect
visible fire particles (associated with slow smouldering
fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable.
Electrical rating 240V AC,
50Hz 80mA max per alarm
(maximum 80mA for originating unit
with 24 Devices interconnected).

8. Useful Hints • Smoke alarms can only operate correctly if smoke particles reach the unit. Correct selection/siting and installation are covered in the installers manual. • With the exception of garages/kitchens/bathrooms it is recommended that smoke alarms are fitted in every room and outside all sleeping areas. - Page 11 Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occupants. If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper. The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair oneʼs ability to hear the smoke alarm.
