Selecting the installation location

6.1 General information
What makes the fire so dangerous is the toxic smoke produced during combustion rather than the flame in the first place. A few breaths, especially while asleep, can render a person unconscious.
That is why the installation site must be chosen carefully.
6.2 Recommended installation sites for smoke detectors

1. Ceiling
2. Heat, fire, smoke
3. Ideal site to install the smoke detector
4. Corner (dead space, never install here!)

Living space
Examples
Installation place for minimum protection:

1. Kitchen (no smoke detector)
2. Bedroom
3. Bedroom / other living space (e.g. children‘s room)
4. Bathroom (no smoke detector)
5. Bedroom / other living space (e.g. office)

Installation place for maximum protection:

1. Kitchen (no smoke detector)
2. Bedroom
3. Bedroom / other living space (e.g. children‘s room)
4. Bathroom (no smoke detector)
5. Bedroom / other living space (e.g. office)
6. Living room

Installation place for minimum protection:

1. Bedroom
2. Bedroom / other living space (e.g. children‘s room)

Installation place for maximum protection:

1. Bedroom

2. Hallway

3. Bedroom / other living space
   (e.g. children‘s room)

4. Staircase

5. Living room

6. Staircase

• Smoke detectors should be installed in every room for maximum protection. Do not install them in kitchens, bathrooms or other premises where vapour is generated.
• Install smoke detectors near bedrooms. Also, plan for escape routes from bedrooms; those rooms are usually the farthest from the exit. If there is more than one bedroom, install an additional smoke detector in every bedroom.
• This also extends to other rooms with sleeping facilities (such as children‘s room, guest room, etc.).
• Provide additional smoke detectors to protect stairways, which can act like chimneys for smoke and fire and may contribute to their spread.
• Install at least one smoke detector on each floor level.
• Locate a smoke detector in every room where there are electrical appliances or equipment (e.g., a TV set in the living room). Often those devices, in particular, pose a risk of heavy, toxic smoke formation.
• It is recommended to install two or more smoke detectors in larger rooms.
• Smoke and other combustion residues rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mount the smoke detectors on the ceiling in the centre of the room, this place is the nearest to all other points in the room.
• Ceiling mounting is recommended in conventional residential buildings. In caravans or mobile homes mounting on a vertical wall is required instead to prevent a thermal barrier that may form at the ceiling.
• When installing the smoke detector on the ceiling, ensure a free space of at least 50 cm from the sidewall and 60 cm from each corner.
• Install the smoke detector as close to the centre of the ceiling as possible.
• The smoke detector should be attached to a brace suspending from the ceiling or similar spots. Ensure to maintain the minimum distances to corners and walls. In rooms with sloped ceilings (top floor), a separate smoke detector should preferably be installed on each slope.
• A minimum free space of 150 cm should be provided between the smoke detector and lights, exhaust fans, air conditioners and air inlet/outlet openings.

6.3 Unfavourable installation sites for smoke detectors

The following installation sites should be avoided:

• Kitchen/bathroom and WC: 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.
• Near (<1.5 m) fluorescent lights.
• Rooms where the temperature may fall below +5 °C or rise 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 fire from reaching the smoke detector.
• Ceilings in caravans or similar: The sun heats the room ceiling and hence the air in the upper part of the caravan. The hot air keeps the fumes of a dangerous smouldering fire from reaching the smoke detector.
• Stationary walls in residential buildings: Here the smoke is detected very late, which causes a delayed alarm.
• Corners in buildings: Here the smoke is detected very late, which causes a delayed alarm.

Controls

1. “Test” button with red LED
2. Beeper opening (sound outlet)
3. Smoke sensor
4. Battery compartment

Installing & inserting batteries

• The smoke detector cannot work without batteries or when batteries are empty.

• For safety reasons, do not use rechargeable batteries; use only non-rechargeable batteries.

• For safety reasons, the smoke detector cannot be attached to the mounting plate when no batteries are inserted. Turn the upper part of the smoke detector to the left (counter-clockwise) to detach it from the mounting plate.

• Use the mounting plate as a template and mark the holes to be drilled in the two outer recessed openings.

• Fasten the mounting plate with suitable screws; use dowels, if necessary.

• Ensure you do not damage any wires or pipes during fastening or drilling.
  Because the product is heavy, we do not recommend using adhesive pads for the installation for safety reasons.

•  Ensure the correct polarity when inserting. Note the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.

• Put the smoke detector on the mounting plate and lock it in place by turning its upper part to the right (clockwise).

• After installation, check the smoke detector for functionality by briefly pressing the “Test” button in the centre of the smoke detector. The smoke detector will beep twice, and the button will start to flash red. Also, see chapter “Function test”.

• The smoke detector is now ready for use!

8.1 Battery replacement

• Replace the battery when it is low.
• Low battery indication: (1x red LED flash + 1x beep) every 40 seconds.
• Check the smoke detector once a week and after every battery change by briefly pressing the “Test” button in the centre of the smoke detector. The smoke detector will beep twice, and the button will start to flash red. Follow the instructions in the chapter “Function test”.

Proceed as follows:

• Turn the upper part of the smoke detector to the left (counter-clockwise) to detach it from the mounting plate.
• Replace the battery. Insert a new battery with the correct polarity. Note the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.
• Put the smoke detector on the mounting plate and lock it in place by turning its upper part to the right (clockwise). For safety reasons, the smoke detector cannot be attached to the mounting plate when no batteries are inserted.

Function test

• Under normal operation, the red LED near the “TEST” button flashes briefly every 40 seconds.
• Briefly press the “TEST” button to check the alarm tone. The wireless smoke detector will emit three beeps twice, and the button will start to flash red. This indicates that the smoke detector and batteries are functioning correctly. When no alarm tone sounds or the LED does not flash, batteries may be empty. Replace the batteries and perform a new function test. If this does not help, replace the smoke detector.
  → If an alarm tone seems too loud or too unpleasant to your ear, use hearing protection during the function test! It is better when a real alarm sounds loud such that even a sleeping person or the one with impaired hearing can hear an alarm.
  ****It is strongly recommended that you check the smoke detector weekly to ensure proper operation. Wireless transmission can be checked by blowing cigarette smoke into the smoke detector. Accessory retailers offer special test sprays for smoke detectors.

Modes of operation

10.1.1 Normal operation
Under normal operation, the red LED flashes once every 40 seconds.
10.1.2 Alarm mode
When the smoke concentration reaches the alarm point, the red LED starts to flash, and the smoke detector beeps.
10.1.3 Test mode
When you briefly press the “Test” button, the red LED starts to flash, the alarm emits three
beeps twice and stops automatically.
10.1.4 Battery too weak

• Replace the battery when it is low.
• Low battery indication: (1x red LED flash + 1x beep) every 40 seconds.

10.1.5 Device error
The red LED flashes twice every 40 seconds and the alarm beeps twice every 40 seconds.
10.1.6 Standby mode
You can switch the smoke detector from the alarm mode to the standby mode (alarm off) by pressing and holding the “Test” button on the smoke detector. If the smoke concentration is still too high during the standby mode that remains active for 9 minutes, the wireless smoke detector triggers an alarm.

→ If the smoke detector signals an alarm, check whether the seat of fire does exist. If fire or smoke is detected, alert your family, and everyone must leave the building.
Call the fire department. If there is no fire or smoke, check the device for functionality. Refer to the chapter “What to do in case of an alarm?” and “Nuisance alarm”.

Troubleshooting

reinsert it when the smoke has cleared
Internal circuit is damaged (device is defective)| Replace the smoke detector
(1x red LED flash +
lx beep) every 40 se- conds.| Low battery voltage (weak battery)| Replace the battery
Two beeps are emitted every 40 seconds after switching on| Internal circuit is damaged (device is defective)| Replace the smoke detector
No alarm during testing| Battery inserted incorrectly| Re-insert the battery, observing the correct polarity
Low battery voltage (weak battery)| Replace the battery
Internal circuit is damaged (device is defective)| Replace the smoke detector
No alarm or very quiet alarm| Low battery voltage (weak battery)| Replace the battery
Alarm transmitter is defective| Replace the smoke detector

→ When other problems/faults occur, remove the battery and re-insert it correctly after a short time (approx. 1 minute) and then check that the smoke detector functions correctly.
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, do not disassemble the smoke detector!
Contact your local dealer or manufacturer for more information.

Sketching an escape plan and performing an emergency drill

• Sketch a plan of your flat or house that shows all doors and windows and at least two escape routes for each room. A rope ladder may be necessary for windows on the second floor.
• Discuss the escape plan with your family and explain what should be done in the event of fire or smoke.
• Designate a meeting spot outside of your home.
• Show everyone how the wireless smoke detector sounds when it triggers an alarm. Everyone must be sure to leave the house immediately when they hear that sound.
• Perform the smoke/fire alarm drill at least every 6 months. Drills will help you to put your evacuation plan to the test before an actual emergency may arise. It may happen that you cannot reach your children in a case of fire. They must know too what to do and how to behave.

What to do in case of an alarm?

→The alarm stops when the air is free from smoke again.

• If an alarm sounds, leave your flat or house immediately according to the agreed escape plan. Every second counts; do not waste time getting dressed or trying to take your valuables with you.
• Before opening any door, check if it is hot. If the door is hot, or if you see smoke coming in from under the door, do not open the door! Use the alternative escape route instead. If the door is cool, press your shoulder against it, open the door slightly and be ready to slam it back again if heat and smoke penetrate from the room behind it.
• If the air is full of smoke, stay low to the floor. Breathe through a cloth (if possible) moistened with water.
• Once you have made your way out of the flat or house, proceed to the previously agreed meeting spot and ensure everybody is there.
• Call the firefighters from your neighbour‘s house, not your own!
•  Do not return to your flat or house until you have been told it is safe by the fire service.

Nuisance alarm

Cigarette smoke or vapour from cooking can activate the smoke detector. Nuisance alarms are also possible in case of exposure to dust when grinding (e.g. when renovating a room) and if too much hair spray/deodorant is sprayed in a room or similar.
→ Normally, smoking cigarettes in the room will not trigger the wireless smoke detector unless the smoke is blown directly into the sensor.
If the smoke detector signals an alarm, check whether the seat of fire does exist. If fire or smoke is detected, alert your family, and everyone must leave the building. Call the fire department.
If there is no fire or smoke, check whether the alarm could have been triggered due to the above-mentioned reasons.

Cleaning and maintenance

Apart from the occasional battery change, the product is maintenance-free.
Clean the outside of the product with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Dust can be easily removed from the smoke detector with a soft, clean, long- haired brush or a vacuum cleaner. In especially dusty environments such as bedrooms, this should be done at least once a year.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions since these can damage the housing or impair functioning.
For safety reasons, the smoke detector should be replaced every 8 years.

Range

Under optimal conditions, the range of transmission of the radio signals between the two wireless smoke detectors is up to 100 m.
This range only applies in ideal conditions with no obstructions (i.e. a direct field of view between the transmitter and receiver without interference).
In practice, however, there may be walls, ceilings and other obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver, which will reduce the range accordingly.
Different objects have a different impact on the range; therefore, no specific range can be guaranteed. The range should be sufficient for use in a detached house.
Sometimes the range can be considerably reduced due to:

• Walls, reinforced concrete ceilings and metal-framed drywalls
• Coated/metallised insulated glass
• Proximity to metal and conductive objects (e.g. radiators)
• Proximity to human bodies
• Other devices on the same frequency (e.g., wireless headphones, wireless speakers)
• Proximity to electric motors/appliances, transformers, power supplies, computers
