Product Usage Instructions
Safety Information
This manual contains important safety information regarding the installation and operation of the detector. Read this manual carefully and store it safely for future use. Familiarize other residents of the building with the operation of the detector. Create an evacuation plan for the event of a fire and do a drill every month. All residents of the building should be familiar with the detector’s signals in order to be able to immediately react to them.
Attention: If construction work causing a large amount of dust is taking place on your premises, you should remove the detector 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 a plastic bag or a similar covering. A covered detector may have a delayed response. Uncover it every day after work is finished.

Back – Mounting Bracket
Inserting the Battery: Follow the steps shown in Figure 3 to insert the battery into the detector.
Mounting the Device on the Ceiling: Follow the steps shown in to mount the device on the ceiling. Make sure to use the supplied wall plugs, mounting brackets, and screws.
- holes in the ceiling
- wall plugs
- mounting bracket
- screws
- tightening direction
- loosening direction
Drill two holes (ø 5 mm) into the ceiling (step 1); the distance between the holes must be 76 mm. Insert the supplied wall plugs (step 2) into the holes, place the mounting bracket (step 3) and attach it to the wall using screws (step 4). Insert and connect the battery to the detector and test its functioning; see Test Mode. If the detector is operational, place the back of the detector against the mounting bracket, sliding it onto the two protrusions, then turn it
Detector Placement
Smoke detectors for partial protection
Additional smoke detectors for improved coverage
Fire detectors
Smoke Detectors for Partial Protection: Additional smoke detectors can be installed for improved coverage.
Fire Detectors: The fire detector should be installed as part of a comprehensive fire protection system, which also includes smoke detectors. The installation should be performed by a competent person in accordance with valid regulations. If in doubt, leave the installation to a qualified professional.
Mounting – Placement
Must be installed by a competent 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. For better protection, fire detectors should be installed as a part of a comprehensive fire protection system, which also includes smoke detectors. The fire detector is suitable for use areas such as 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: Refer to Figure 6 for a drawing of suitable placement of the detector.
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. The acoustic and optical alarm during testing is only used as
indication that the detector is operational. It does not mean that a fire has
been detected.
FAULT STATE
If the detector is in fault state, it is not functional.
Fault state is indicated by 1× beep every 40 seconds.
Immediately replace the battery and check that the detector is undamaged;
clean the openings of the detector using, for instance, a vacuum cleaner. Do a
function test.
If the fault state persists even after the battery has been replaced, contact
the service centre.
LOW BATTERY
A low battery in the detector is indicated by a single beep and a flash of the
red LED simultane-ously every 40 s at least 30 days before the battery runs
out. Immediately replace the battery. Use alkaline batteries only; do not use
rechargeable batteries.
Do a function test.
It is recommended to replace the battery 1× a year as a precaution.
END OF 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 a fire is detected, the detector will start emitting an acoustic +
optical signal.
The detector will beep and the red LED will flash 3× in a row (followed by a
1.5 second pause). The alarm will be active until the air clears.
The acoustic signal of the alarm can be temporarily silenced by pressing
the TEST button.
The acoustic signal will be silenced for 8 minutes; the red LED will flash
every 40 seconds.After 8 minutes, the acoustic signal will reactivate until
the air clears. If an alarm triggers, immediately evacuate the building and
make sure all other people have left as well. Do not stop to call in help or
gather your belongings. Contact the corresponding emergency service. Wait
until the air clears. Do not remove or disconnect the battery to silence the
alarm – that deactivates the detector!
