Smoke Detector
Smoke Detectors save lives
All night, when you and your family are asleep, fires are at their most dangerous. Toxic smoke, given
off when substances such as plastics burn, does not wake you up; it makes sleepers unconscious.
Smoke detectors therefore save lives.
The smoke detector is a quality product designed for private households. It detects the smoke
generated by smouldering fires and gives an alarm. A loud pulsating tone (approx. 85 dBA) wakes you
up and can therefore save your life and the lives of your family.

Product Features

• Photoelectric principle: reliable, robust, highly sensitive reaction to smoke
• Battery operation: not dependent on mains power
• Red LED flashes briefly about every 40....50 seconds; the detector has performed a self-test and is
in good working order.
• Battery low-power monitor: the smoke detector indicates that the battery voltage is growing weaker
by emitting short beeps at intervals of 40...50 seconds.
• Loud pulsating warning tone if smoke detected: highly effective (approx. 85 dBA)
• System operation (ohly when type Relay/Networking): up to 40 smoke detectors can be linked
together; if one of them detects a fire, the alarm is given by all detectors in the circuit.
• Reverse polarity protection: the detector is not damaged if the battery is installed with the wrong
polarity.
Choice of location
The smoke detector must be fixed to the ceiling as near to the centre of the room as possible. One
detector can monitor a room with a maxium floor area of 60 m
hallways and narrow corridors (up to 3 m wide) the detector monitors distances up to 7,5 m in each
direction. A gap of at least 0,5 m must be maintained from walls and fixtures.
You should therefore install (see Fig. 1):
• as an absolute necessity one smoke detector in the hallway (to monitor the escape route) between
living and sleeping areas
• for optimum protection one detector in every living room and every bedroom
• in multistorey buildings at least one detector on each landing
• in converted lofts one detector above the staircase
Installation on the ceilings of boat cabins or caravans is also possible.
When travelling, simply take smoke detector with you into your hotel room.

    Choice of location The smoke detector must be fixed to the ceiling as near to the centre of the room as possible. One detector can monitor a room with a maxium floor area of 60 m and ceiling heights of put to 6 m. In hallways and narrow corridors (up to 3 m wide) the detector monitors distances up to 7,5 m in each direction.

    1 and 2 (orange). If an inductive load (e.g. a klexon or a relay of an unknown design) is connected, a free-wheeling diode (type 1N4007) must be included in the circuit, so that the smoke detector is not damaged by inductive voltages.
  • Page 3 LED flashing briefly. Manual test: Spray the smoke detector with an aerosol tester type 918/5 from a distance of about 20 cm. About 10 seconds later spray it again. Within the next 8..16 seconds the alarm must be sounded and the red LED must light up.

  • Page 4: Operating And Warning Signals

    To ensure proper functioning of the smoke detector, routine maintenance should be carried out at intervals of about 6 months. Proceed as follows: • Remove the smoke detector from ist base and clear away the dust (do not use compressed air). • Wipe the smoke detector with a damp cloth.

  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    • The smoke detector responds to the smoke from a fire, not to the flame itself. • The smoke detector only monitors a defined area and will not necessarily detect a fire in another room or on alother floor. Therefore install a sufficient number of smoke detectors in order to ensure optimum protection.
