Make/model number: SH8-90103
Description: Smoke alarm device based on the photocell principle, which means that the alarm monitors the air for smoke caused by fire. This apparatus contains 2 x 1,5 VDC AA Alkaline batteries with a lifetime of 3 year
Function: Smoke alarm device intended to alert the persons present near a fire/fire smoke, to give them time to react properly to the danger
Scope of application: Smoke alarm device for buildings with residential function
IMPORTANT:
Caution: The alarm is designed in order to detect smoke; it cannot prevent a fire!
Caution: Using a smoke alarm is part of your fire protection, just as fire extinguishers, emergency ladders, ropes, but also your choice in the use of building materials for renovation. Always ensure that there is an evacuation plan and discuss this with your children. Ensure that each room can be left without opening the door, e.g. by the window. If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm, it should be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire and the dwelling evacuated immediately.
Warning : Smoke alarm devices must be replaced no later than 10 years after initial activation. Fill out the activation date on the rating label on the product and mark the replacement date in your calendar.

After installing the smoke alarm device, always test its functionality by using the test button.
Important:

WARNING: To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the ceiling in accordance with the installation instructions.
Smoke alarm devices should be installed in such a way that they can be reached unimpeded by the fire smoke, so that fires can be detected reliably in the development phase.
Requirements for smoke alarm devices vary from state to state and from region to region. Always check the relevant requirements in your area with your local authorities!

Where not to mount a smoke alarm device?

Centered at ceiling of the room
ax height: 6m
Min 0,5 m distance to walls/ barriers:
mall rooms with width <1m: Centered at the ceiling
Corridors with max width 3m: max 15m distance between 2 smoke alarm devices.
Max. 7,5m to front side and smoke alarm devices at edges/crossings of corridors.
Galleries: If length and width of the gallery are >2m and gallery area is >16m2, additional smoke alarm device required below gallery
In roof slopes: If >20°, minimal 0,5m and maximal 1m to roof top. If ≤20°, consider as flat ceiling. In partial roof slopes: if flat ceiling ≤1m width, consider as roof slope. If flat ceiling is >1m wide, consider as flat ceiling.
Ceiling joists (or similar): If height ≤0,2m, installation at ceiling or on joist. If height > 0,2m and separated area > 36m2 => additional smoke alarm devices in between.

Where not to mount a smoke alarm device?

Close to air conditioning/ventilation systems;
Locations where the ventilation can be impeded items such curtains etc.;
In rooms where temperature can reach below 0°C and above 40°C.
In damp spaces/kitchens/bathrooms, because steam can cause false alarms. Please visit our website for alarms that are suitable for usage in these rooms;
Closer than 50 cm to light sources/electrical sources;
Locations that are difficult to reach and impede the accessibility of the test button,battery replacement and maintenance.

ALARM SILENCE / HUSH MODE

If you push the test button when the smoke alarm is sounding, it will pause the smoke alarm for approximately 10 minutes. The red LED will flash every 16 seconds, it indicates the hush mode is activated. Smoke detectors are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills or when grilling/frying. Using the fan on a range hood that vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible particles from the kitchen. The hush mode is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance. The hush feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking activates the alarm. The smoke detector is desensitized by pushing the test button, if the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence to indicate that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke detector will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes. If particles of combustion are still present after this period, the alarm will sound again. The hush mode can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

Note: Dense smoke will override the hush mode and sound a continuous alarm.
Caution: Before using the alarm silence (hush mode), identify the source of the smoke and make sure the situation is safe.

PAIRING – with other smoke alarms

Wireless connectable up to 60m (outdoor, no obstacles). It’s possible to link multiple SH8-90103 smoke detectors together. The big advantage of pairing one or more smoke detectors is that when one smoke detector sounds, they will all sound. This provides your family with an earlier warning of potential danger, and gives you more time to react. You can link up to 12 smoke detectors.

Note: It is not possible to pair smoke detection devices together when one or more of the smoke detection devices is connected to the Link. If this is the case, please factory reset the smoke detection device before attempting to pair to another smoke detection device.

Prepare the detectors you need to pair. Make sure the battery from the second smoke alarm device has been removed for at least 10 seconds before beginning.
On the first smoke alarm device, press and hold the test button for 5 seconds. Do not hold the button for longer than 8 seconds. The LED will start flashing quickly to indicate the device is in pairing mode.
Now replace the battery in the second smoke alarm device within 30 seconds.
The second unit will now enter pairing mode within 2 or 3 seconds.
If the pairing is successful, both units will emit a beeping sound.
The LED on the first model will turn off after approximately 5 seconds. The smoke alarm devices are now connected. You can pair multiple smoke alarm devices in the same manner, consecutively.
Please repeat the steps above if the pairing is not successful the first time.
Note: It’s only possible to pair this smoke detector to other detectors of the same model, if compatibility with the SH8-90103 is specifically mentioned in the user manual of the other smoke detector
Note: the pairing tone and test tone of this smoke alarm have been modified to be less intrusive for the ears. The sound when smoke is detected is much longer and therefore louder.

Reset

Follow this procedure if you wish to reset (unpair) a smoke detector.
Press and hold the test button for more than 30 seconds.
Now release the button.
The LED on the device will flash.
The smoke alarm device will make a beeping noise to indicate it has been reset.

RESETTING
You can reset the alarm by pressing the button on the front for 30 seconds and release. After release it will give a short beep.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the battery is running low, the smoke alarm device will indicate this with an audible “beep”. This indicator sounds continually with intervals of 50 seconds for at least 30 days. Replace the batteries immediately when this indicator is given. To replace the battery, open the apparatus (see image 1), remove the empty battery and connect the new battery (see image 2). We highly recommend you to replace the battery on a fixed date, to ensure timely replacement.
IMPORTANT: After replacing the batteries, always test the smoke alarm device for correct operation with the test button.
IMPORTANT: Only replace battery with one of below certified battery types:
Energizer: E91, Gold Peak: GP15A, Raymax: LR6

MAINTENANCE

Testing: We highly recommend you to test the functionality of your smoke alarm device every month. Press and hold the test button until the user friendly short alarm signal sounds. The signal stops once the button is released. If the alarm signal does not sound after pressing the test button, the smoke alarm device is not working properly and the advice of Smartwares should be sought.
Warning: Do not use an open flame to test your smoke alarm device, this could damage the apparatus or ignite combustible materials and start a fire.
Cleaning: For optimal performance, the smoke alarm device must be dusted once a month and vacuumed every six months. Do not touch the inside of the smoke alarm device with the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. Always test the functionality of the apparatus after cleaning by pressing the test button. Please register for free reminders at the smart reminder. EU

TROUBLESHOOTING

False alarms may be caused by: welding and cutting operations, soldering and other hot work, sawing and grinding, dust due to construction work or cleaning, water vapor, cooking fumes, extreme electromagnetic effects, and temperature fluctuations, which lead to condensation of the humidity in the smoke alarm.
Dust is the most common cause of false alarms/failing alarms, therefore always clean the smoke alarm device as described in paragraph ‘maintenance’ if you experience any issues. If this does not solve the problem, the advice of Smartwares should be sought.
Smartwares can never be made liable for loss and/or damage of whatever nature, including incidental and/or consequential loss, arising from the fact that the signal from the smoke alarm did not sound during smoke or fire.
