The colours of the wires are: live = brown, neutral
= blue and inter-connect = white. The smoke
alarms can be inter-connected as many as 12
units in series. Check the connections carefully
before
closing
the
junction
connection may damage the unit.
Your smoke alarm is designed for easy mounting
on walls or ceilings. Ideally, this smoke alarm is
designed for mounting on a standard flush box
(84mm mounting centres). Place the mounting
bracket on it and locate the screw holes of the
flush box. Then attach the bracket directly onto it
with the screws provided. Then, check the
mounting firmly.
For mounting without standard flush box, place the
mounting bracket on the wall or ceiling surface, and
use a pencil to mark down two drill hole locations.
Usually, the distance between two centres of the
drill holes should be 84mm. For wooden surfaces,
attach the bracket directly to it with the screws
provided. For concrete surfaces or masonry, use
drilling machines to drill these two holes onto the
surface first. The sizes of the holes are around
5.5mm in diameter and 25-30mm deep. Insert two
dowels into the drilled holes before attaching the
bracket. Then, check the mounting firmly.
Insert a 9V DC battery. Fold the alarm to wall mount
tightly. The alarm cannot be secured if the battery is
not installed properly.
The green LED will then light up. Press the TEST
button
to

that
the
Inter-connected alarms must also be checked. Do
not leave installation until the alarms have been
checked for correct operation.
During the power up of the unit, several 'beep'
alarms may sound. This is normal operation for the
unit.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT TO OTHER
INCOMPATIBLE SMOKE ALARMS.
OPERATION, TESTING AND MANTENANCE
Operation
The smoke alarm is operating once the power is
connected and turned on (the battery must also be
installed). When products of combustion are
sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm which
continues until the air is cleared.
False Alarm
Units with the 'silence' feature have the capability
of temporarily reducing the sensitivity of the alarm
circuit for approximately 8 minutes. This feature is
to be used only when a known smoke alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates
the smoke alarm. The smoke alarm is deactivated
by pushing the hush button on the smoke alarm
once. The smoke alarm will automatically reduce
sensitivity and light up the red indicator for
approximately 8 minutes to indicate that the alarm
is in the temporary silent condition. It will reactivate
after such 8 minutes and sound the alarm if
particles of combustion are still present. The
'silence' feature may be used repeatedly until the
air has cleared.
CAUTION: Before using the alarm's 'silence'
feature, identify the source of the smoke and be
certain that safe conditions exist.
Testing
Test by pressing the test button on the smoke
alarm cover for at least 4 seconds, until the alarm
sounds. It activates the self-test program and the
alarm sounds if all electronic circuitry, horn and
battery are working. When any smoke alarm is
tested, all inter-connected units should sound an
alarm. It is highly recommended to test the alarm
weekly to assure proper operation. In case of no
alarm sounds on test, and/or the unit has a
defective battery, and then try to replace the
battery with a new one. You can also test the alarm
by blowing smoke into the unit.

Maintenance

However, under dusty conditions, a vacuum hose
may be used to clear dust through the side

monthly to keep best performance. Normally, the
alarm can be operated up to 10 years without
replacement. See the replacing date on the bottom
of the alarm unit.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The power of this smoke alarm is backed up by
one 9V DC battery. The battery should last for at
least 1 year under normal operating conditions.
The smoke alarm has a low battery indicator, an
audible 'chirp'. It will operate at 30-40 second
intervals for a minimum of 7 days. Replace the
battery when this indication occurs. Only the
following 9V DC batteries (which are available at
hardware or electronic parts stores) may be used
for replacement.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE
• If there is a fire in your home, the precautions
described will increase your chance of escaping
safely. The following rules should always be
highlighted during fire drills so that they are
remembered in the case of a real emergency.
• Stay calm and think clearly about the
pre-arranged escape plan.
• Leaving the house as soon as possible following
the planned escape route. Do not stop to collect
personal belongings.
• Check doors to see if they are hot. If the door is
hot, do not open it - use another escape route.
• Keep all doors and windows shut, only open as a
means of escaping.
• Smoke rises, so keep close to the floor - if
necessary crawl.
• Take short breaths and if possible, cover your
mouth and nose with a wet cloth.
• Make your way to the pre-arranged meeting point
and call the fire brigade. Give your full name and
address.
• Never re-enter a burning house. For further
information on fire safety and prevention, contact
your local fire prevention officer.
