Unfavourable installation sites for smoke detectors
Thefollowinginstallationsitesshouldbeavoided:
• Kitchen/bathroomandtoilet:Thecookingfumesorwatervapourspresentintheseroomsmaytriggera
falsealarm.
• Garages:Avehicle’sexhaustfumesmaytriggerafalsealarmingarages.
• Nearheatersorairconditioners
• Roomswherethetemperaturefallsbelow+5°Corrisesabove+38°C
• Gableroof:Hotair(e.g.insummerorwhenheatingtheroom)mayaccumulatehere,whichwouldprevent
thefumesofadangeroussmoulderingrefromreachingthesmokedetector.
• Ceilingsincaravansorsimilar:Thesunheatsuptheroomceilingandhencetheairintheupperpartofthe
caravan.Thehotairkeepsthefumesofadangeroussmoulderingrefromreachingthesmokedetector.
• Stationarywallsinresidentialbuildings: Here the smoke is detected very late, so thatthe warningis
delayed.
• Cornersinbuildings:Herethesmokeisdetectedverylate,sothatthewarningisdelayed.
Installation & inserting batteries
 Thewirelesssmokedetectorcannotworkwithoutbatteriesorwhenthebatteriesaredead.
 Whenthe“lowbattery”alertbeeps(oneshortbeepevery60seconds),thebatteriesmustbe
replacedwithnewones.Replacealwaysallofthewirelesssmokedetector’sbatteries.
 Testthewirelesssmokedetectoronceaweekandaftereachbatterychangebyholdingdown
the“TEST”buttonforabout3seconds.Thewirelesssmokedetectorwillthenemitabeepand

 Foroperationalsafetyreasonsdonotuserechargeablebatteries;useonlynon-rechargeable
batteries.
 Duetosafetyreasonsthewirelesssmokedetectorcannotbefastenedtothemountingplate,if
thebatteriesarenotloaded.
• Removethemountingplatebyturningthewirelesssmokedetectorandtakeitoff(turntheupperpart
counter-clockwisetotheleft,seemarking“GTWISTTOREMOVE“).
• Usethemountingplateasatemplateanddrawboresonthetwoouterrecessedopenings.
• Fastenthemountingplatewithsuitablescrews;usewallplugs,ifnecessary.

Programming more smoke detectors
Itispossibleto“teach”severalwirelesssmokedetectors.Whenlaterononeofthewirelesssmokedetectors
setsoffanalarm,allotherwirelesssmokedetectorswilldososoonafter(iftheyareinrange).
Thatwaysmokeinthelivingroomwilltriggerthesmokedetectorinthelivingroomandalsoallwireless

 Determineoneofthewirelesssmokeasthe“Master”.Onlythatwirelesssmokedetectorisused
toprogrammeotherwirelesssmokedetectorscalled“Slave”.
 Itisalsopossibletorunmultiplegroupsofwirelesssmokedetectorindependentlyfromone
anotherinlargerapartmentsorhouses(example:Agrouponthegroundoor,agrouponthe1

 Regardlessofwhethera“Master”ora“Slave”detectssmoke,allwirelesssmokedetectorsof
thatgroupwillsetoffanalarm.Theothergroups,however,willnottriggeranalarm(example:If

Proceed as follows:
• Tostarttheregistrationprocedure,removethewirelesssmokedetector“Master”fromtheceiling,ifalready
mountedthere.Putthewirelesssmokedetector“Master”nexttothewirelesssmokedetector“Slaves”

Deleting a wireless smoke detector “Slave”; Reset to default
Ifoneoftheregisteredwirelesssmokedetector“Slaves”needstobedeletedonthewirelesssmokedetector

• Releasethebutton.
Thewirelesssmokedetector“slave”hasbeendeletedandnolongerrespondstothesignalsofthewire-
