Operation Manual

WHERE TO INSTALL A SMOKE ALARM
British Standards Institution (BSI) recommends
the following installation.
Multi-family or mixed occupant residence
(Tenancy building, student accommodation)
Your smoke/CO alarm can also be used in
individual flats and bedsits, providing the
same conditions are met as for a single-family
residence. However, there must already be
a primary fire detection system that meets
regulatory requirements for common areas
such as lobbies and hallways.
Institutions and Hotels
This includes guest houses, hospitals, day care
facilities, long-term health care facilities, B&Bs
and halls of residence. Your smoke/CO alarm can
be used in individual sleeping/resident rooms,
providing the same conditions are met as for a
single-family residence. However, there must
already be a primary fire detection system that
meets regulatory requirements for common areas
such as lobbies and hallways. Use of this smoke
alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient
fire warning to residents or meet regulatory
requirements.
Commercial and Industrial Premises
This smoke alarm is not intended for any
non-residential, commercial or industrial
application, nor for any other purpose than
described above.
INSTALLATION CODE
Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm
installation vary from country to country.
Check with your local Fire Brigade for current
requirements in your area.
WARNING
Smoke alarms are designed to alert you
with an audible alarm at a level specified
by the British Standard BS EN 14604: 2005.
WARNING
The smoke alarm accompanying this user’s
guide employs the latest technology and is
independently tested as being compliant
with all the relevant British Standards
Institution. However, as with any electronic
product it may fail and may not sense all
types of fire within sufficient time to alert
you of the danger and provide adequate
time for your escape. In order to maximise
your level of safety always test your smoke
alarm frequently to ensure it is in full
working order.
WARNING
There is a risk of malfunction and electric
shock if the alarm is tampered with.
Your smoke/CO alarm is only suitable for use in
domestic residential applications as covered in
this user’s guide. It is not suitable for commercial
or industrial applications. It is designed to sense
smoke and carbon monoxide and alert you. It will
not prevent or extinguish fires.
