Installation
Installation procedure
1 Select a location complying with the advice in the
Location and positioning section.
2 Remove the mounting plate from the smoke alarm
by twisting it in an anti-clockwise direction, see
Figure 5a.
3 Place the mounting plate on the ceiling exactly
where you want to mount the smoke alarm. With
a pencil, mark the location of the two screw holes.
4 Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the
ceiling, drill holes using a 5.0 mm (3/16") drill bit
through the centre of the marked locations. Push
the plastic screw anchors provided into the drilled
holes. Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling.
5 Connect the battery to the battery snaps as shown in
the Quick start guide on page 5. Verify that the red
and green LEDs on the cover aluminate as indicated
in the table on the Indication summary on page 4.
6 If the smoke alarm is not to be used together
with supplementary Visit receivers, battery
capacity is increased by turning off the radio
Locations to avoid
DON’T place smoke alarms in any of the following areas:
 Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where the smoke alarm
may be triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke or fumes. Keep at least 6
meters (20ft) away from sources of normal smoke/fumes.
 Locate away from very dusty or dirty areas as dust build-up in the chamber can im-
pair performance. It can also block the insect screen mesh and prevent smoke from
entering the smoke detector chamber.
 Do not locate in insect infested areas. Small insects getting into the smoke detector
chamber can cause intermittent alarms.
 Places where the normal temperature can exceed 100°F (38°C) or be below 32°F (0°C)
(e.g. attics, furnace rooms, directly above ovens or kettles etc.) as the steam could
cause nuisance alarms.
 Near a decorative object, door, light tting, window moulding etc., that may prevent
smoke from entering the smoke alarm.
 Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room (e.g. attic
hatches). Temperature dierences might stop smoke from reaching the unit.
 Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents, windows, wall vents etc.
that can change the direction of airow.
 In very high or awkward areas (e.g. over stairwells) where it may be dicult to reach
the smoke alarm (for testing, hushing or battery replacement).
 Locate the unit at least 1 meter (39") from dimmer controlled lights and wiring as
some dimmers can cause interference.
 Locate unit at least 1.5 meters (59") and route wiring at least 1 meter away from
uorescent light ttings as electrical “noise” and/or ickering may aect the unit.
