Installation and mounting
For assuring the minimum coverage of your home, one smoke alarm device should be installed respectively
in the hallway/on the stairs and in every bedroom, for providing additional protection in the living room
and/or rooms equipped with electrical devices (e.g. TV or computer room).
Install the smoke alarm device always on the ceiling, if possible in the middle.
If this is not possible, make sure to install the smoke alarm device at a minimum distance of 50 cm from
the wall and of 60 cm from the corner of the room (see diagram).
The smoke alarm device should not be installed in
l kitchens (smoke emission when cooking or baking might lead to a false alarm)
l garages (combustion residues when starting the car might possibly lead to a false alarm)
l humid rooms as for instance bathroom/shower (a humidity above 85 % might lead to a false alarm)
l very cold (below 5 °C) or very warm (above 45° C) rooms
l very dusty/dirty rooms (the sensor chamber can be polluted and clogged by dust/dirt thus hindering
the proper functioning of the sensor). In rooms which are exposed to dust, it is essential that the alarm
signaling device is often vacuum cleaned and checked!
l the immediate proximity of fluorescent tubes
l gables of pointed roofs
Mounting and commissioning
Drill the appropriate two holes for the fixing screws at the mounting position (please use the enclosed
dowels for an installation on a masonry or gypsum subsurface) and screw down the mounting.
Insert the enclosed 9 V block battery into the battery compartment and attach the battery clip to the
battery.
Turn the smoke alarm device on the mounting, until it locks in.
If the LED flashes slowly (approx. every 35 sec.), the smoke alarm device is operable.
Function test
The smoke alarm device is equipped with a test button. After having installed the smoke alarm device,
you should necessarily perform a function test!
Do not expose your ears directly to the alarm signal, but hold the device at arms length and press the
test button (for approx. 5 sec.) until the alarm signal sounds and the LED flashes rapidly.
Test your smoke alarm device regularly (at least once a month) as well as after a long absence (holiday
trip or the like).
