boiler rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms or garages where dust, fumes or humidity may cause false
alarms in smoke detectors. The fire detector should not be mounted along evacuation routes in
place of a smoke detector.
The fire detector should be mounted on the ceiling, ideally in the centre of the room.
No farther than 5.3 m from the farthest wall.
No farther than 5.3 m from the door to any other room where a fire might occur.
No farther than 5.3 m from the next fire detector.
Do not mount the fire detector on a wall.
Closed doors and other obstacles obstruct the path between heat and the detector and may prevent
people from hearing the alarm on the other side of the closed door. Install a sufficient number of
detectors to compensate for closed doors and other obstacles.
It is strongly recommended to install several detectors in the building to increase the chance a fire
is detected in time.
Do not place the fire detector:
Close to fans, heaters, doors, windows etc.
In areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms and showers, or in places where temperature exceeds
39 °C or drops below 5 °C.
At the peak of an A-shaped ceiling – the dead air at the top may prevent smoke and heat from reaching
the detector in time to trigger an alarm.
Less than 30 cm from the wall when mounted on the ceiling.
Less than 30 cm from lights or corners of the room.
Less than 150 cm from a fluorescent lamp light.
In highly dusty or dirty areas – grime and dust may reduce the sensitivity of the detector.
In places where routine testing or maintenance would be dangerous (such as above a staircase).
On poorly insulated ceilings.
In proximity of items such as ceiling decorations that may prevent heat from reaching the detector.
Drawing of Suitable Placement of the Detector (See Fig. 6)
PUTTING THE DEVICE INTO OPERATION
Insert the battery (1× 9 V) into the battery compartment on the back.
Use an alkaline battery only; never use a rechargeable battery.
When inserting the battery into the compartment with plastic protrusions, be careful to observe
the correct polarity (see fig. 3)!
The battery must be fully inserted into the battery compartment, otherwise the mounting bracket
will not fit!
The plastic protrusion in the battery compartment prevents fitting the mounting bracket if the battery
is missing or is inserted incorrectly/incompletely.
Do a check – long-press the TEST button. You should hear 3× short beeps followed by a 1.5 second
pause while the button is held; the red LED will be flashing.
That means the detector is working correctly.
If the detector is operational you will see 1× flash of the red LED every 40 seconds.
If no sound plays after pressing the test button, check that the detector is connected properly. If
it is, either the detector is malfunctioning, in which case you should contact the service centre, or
the battery is low.
TEST MODE
You can test the functioning of the detector as needed or after every battery replacement.
Long-press the TEST button; the detector will beep and the red LED will flash 3× in a row (followed
by a 1.5 second pause).
If the detector makes no sound, check that the battery is operational and the detector is installed
correctly.
Use test mode 1× a week to make sure the detector is functional.
Note:
Do not test the functioning of the detector using open flame; it might damage the detector.
