Smoke Detector
This manual contains important safety information regarding the installation
and operation of the etector. Carefully read this manual and store it safely
for future use. Familiarise other residents of the building with the operation
of the detector.
Create an evacuation plan in case of fire and perform a drill every month. All
residents of the building should be familiar with the detector signals in
order to be able to immediately react to them. The detector allows the
detection of slow burning flames accompanied by thick black smoke. These
flames can take hours before they turn into a large fire.
Warning:
If construction work causing a large amount of dust is taking place on your
premises, you should dismount the detector from the mounting plate to protect
it from dirt. If you cannot do so for any reason, cover the openings of the
detector for the duration of work, by e.g. a plastic bag. A covered detector
will not detect smoke. Uncover it every day after work is finished.

Installation
The installation must be performed by a qualified person.
The person performing the installation is responsible for installing the
product in accordance with valid regulations.
When in doubt, leave the installation to a qualified professional.
The detector is not designed for use in camper vans.
Ideally, a smoke detector should be installed in every room of the house with
the exception of kitchens, bathrooms and garages.
Each floor of the house, including the stairs, should have at least one smoke
detector installed.
The smoke detector should be located in a place where you can hear it even
when you are sleeping, e.g. in the hall in front of the bedroom.
Install the detector on the ceiling of each bedroom and the hall in front of
the bedroom.
If the hall is longer than 9 m, install a detector on both ends.
If you have a multi-storey house, install the detector in the same manner on
each floor.
You will be protected even against smoke rising up the stairs from the bottom
floor.
In the cellar, install the detector on the ceiling at the bottom of the
stairs.
Do not install the detector in bathrooms or kitchens; the steam from water or
food could cause false alarms.
In the garage, the alarm could be triggered by the exhaust from your car.
The ventilation openings of the warning device must not be covered up.
Do not spray aerosol agents in the vicinity or onto the warning device.
Do not paint the warning device.
Pictures for Installation of the Detector:
- Holes in the ceiling (wall); 2. Wall plugs; 3. Mounting plate; 4. Screws; 5. Detector Installing the Device onto a Wall – Description
Drill two holes (ø 5 mm) into the wall (1.); the distance between the holes should be 60 mm.
Insert the attached wall plugs (2.) into the holes, place the mounting plate (3.) and attach it to the wall using screws (4.). Insert and connect the battery to the detector (pictures D and E) and test its functionality; see Test Mode.
If the detector is operational, place the rear side of the detector onto the mounting plate into the two mounting pegs and turn it.
Note:
National regulations vary in terms of the number and location of smoke
detectors.
When in doubt, contact for example the fire brigade in your country.

START-UP
Insert the battery (1× 9 V) into the battery compartment on the back.
Use only alkaline batteries; never use a rechargeable battery.
When inserting the battery into the compartment with plastic clips, be careful
to insert the battery correctly!
See picture D and E: Inserting the battery.
The battery must be fully inside the battery compartment, otherwise the
mounting plate will not fit!
The metal peg in the battery compartment prevents fitting the mounting plate
if the battery is not inserted or is inserted incorrectly/incompletely.
Perform a test using the main button after inserting the battery.
Long press the main button; 3× short beeps must sound at a 1.5 s interval
while the button is held.
That means the detector is working.
If the detector is operational you will see 1× LED flash every 32 seconds.
If you hear no sound after pressing the test button, there is likely a
malfunction and you must contact the service centre, or the battery is flat.
TEST MODE
You can test the functioning of the detector whenever needed or during every
battery replacement.
Long-press the main button for ca 5 seconds; the detector will beep 3× in a
row (then a 1.5 second pause will follow) and a red LED will flash.
If the detector does not emit an acoustic signal, check the battery and the
correctness of assembly.
Use test mode 1× a week to make sure the alarm is operational.
Note:
The acoustic and optical alarm during testing is only used as indication that
the detector is operational.
It does not mean that the presence of smoke has been detected.
FAULT STATE
If the detector is in fault state, it is not functional.
Fault state is indicated every 32 s by 1× LED flash – 1× beep – 1× LED flash.
Immediately replace the battery and check that the detector is undamaged;
clean the openings of the detector by e.g. a vacuum cleaner. Perform a
functionality test.
If the fault state persists even after the battery has been replaced, contact
the service centre.
FLAT BATTERY
If the battery in the alarm is flat, it is indicated by a simultaneous beep
and flash of red LED every 32 s at least 30 days before the battery runs out.
Immediately replace the battery. Only use alkaline batteries. Do not use
rechargeable batteries.
Perform a functionality test.
It is recommended to replace the battery 1× a year as a precaution.
END OF SERVICE LIFE OF THE DETECTOR
The detector has a service life of 10 years since production.
After expiration, the detector must no longer be used and must be replaced
with a new device.
The replacement date for the detector is listed on the label on the back, next
to „Replace device“.
If you are using multiple detectors, remember to check their replacement
dates!
ALARM WARNING
If smoke is detected, the detector will start emitting an acoustic + optical
signal.
The detector will begin continuously and simultaneously beeping (3× beeps –
pause) and flashing a red LED.
The alarm will be active until the air clears.
The acoustic signal of the alarm cannot be temporarily silenced or turned off.
If an alarm triggers, immediately evacuate the building and make sure all
other people have left as well.
Do not stop to call help or pick up your things.
Contact the corresponding emergency service.
Wait until the air clears.
Do not remove the battery to stop the alarm mode – this will deactivate the
alarm!
