• Make/model number: SH8-90126
• Description: A 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 1.5V Alkaline batteries with a lifetime of 2 years.
• 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: The smoke alarm may not be painted or covered because this may cause a loss of functionality.
• Caution: Using a smoke alarm is part of your fire protection, just as fire extinguishers, emergency ladders, and 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.

INITIAL ACTIVATION
Before mounting this smoke alarm, it is important to activate and test the device. Activate and test the device as follows: Installing the batteries

• Open the apparatus by firmly pressing down the base plate and turning it to the unlocked position.
• Remove any protective plastics from new batteries and install them in the smoke alarm. Make sure that they are fitted in accordance with the polarity markings (+ or -) within the battery compartment. (see image 1A)
• To reattach the base plate firmly press down on it and turn it to the locked position.
• Once the batteries are installed, let the smoke alarm rest for about 5 minutes while it calibrates itself.

Activating and testing the alarm

• Press and hold the test/hush button (see image 1B) until an alarm signal sounds then release it.
• If the alarm signal does not sound after pressing the test/hush button, the smoke alarm is not working properly and the advice of Smartwares should be sought.

PAIRING

• The smoke alarm can be linked to your smartphone or tablet using the Smartwares Link together with the Homewizard Link App.
• This will allow you to receive notifications on your smartphone when the alarm has been activated by smoke.
• If the smoke alarm has been paired before it will be necessary to first reset the alarm before pairing.
• The pairing will not work unless the smoke alarm has been reset. See below for reset instructions.

The Smartwares Link: Install the Smartwares Link according to the instructions given to the device.
The HomeWizard Link App:  Download the HomeWizard Link App from the Google Play app store or the Apple App store.
Pairing to the Link

• Once your HomeWizard account is set up, navigate in the app to “Add Device”.
• Select the product category “Safety” then select Smoke Detectors”.
• Select the alarm you are installing (in the HomeWizard Link app the smoke detector is referred to as “Mesh Smoke Detector Smartwares”).
• Follow the instructions in the app to link your smoke alarm with the HomeWizard Link app. If you deactivate the linked alarm(s) it may take up to 3 days before this is shown in the app.

NOTE:
It is important to note that the following steps below are only necessary if the Smartwares link is not being used to pair your alarms. Using the Smartwares link will automatically pair the alarms with each other.
Pair multiple smoke alarms without using the Smartwares Link.
It is possible to pair multiple smoke alarms. The big advantage of pairing one or more smoke alarms is that when one smoke alarm sounds, all connected smoke alarms will also sound. This provides your family with an earlier warning of potential danger and gives you more time to react. You can pair up to 12 smoke alarms. To pair multiple alarms there must first be a master smoke alarm.
Setting the master smoke alarm

• Following the initial activation and testing of the alarms, decide which smoke alarm will be the master alarm and mark this one as “MASTER”.
• Ensure that the additional alarms have been activated, tested, and confirmed working.
• Remove the batteries from the additional alarms in preparation for paring.
• Set the smoke alarm in master mode by pressing the [LEARN] button for 2-5 seconds then releasing it (see image 3).
• The Learn LED will be red, then start flashing green for 30 seconds. During this time the smoke alarm is in master mode and can be paired with the additional alarms. Pairing can only take place within this time while the LED is flashing green.

Pairing the additional smoke alarms with the master alarm.

• Ensure that the master smoke alarm is in master mode.
• Reinstall the batteries to the additional smoke alarm. The Learn LED will flash green for 1-2 seconds and then the alarm(s) will be paired to the master.
• Test the connection by pressing the [TEST/HUSH] button on the master alarm until you hear a beep then release.
• The learn LED on the master alarm will flash red. Shortly after the additional alarm(s) will sound and the learn LED will flash green.
• The alarm signal will stop after about 5 seconds.
• Extra alarms can only be paired with the master alarm.

MOUNTING

• Remove the back cover from the smoke alarm by firmly pressing down and turning it to the unlocked position
• Use the screws supplied to mount the base plate to the ceiling (see image 2).
• Attach the alarm to the mounting base plate.
• Long press the [TEST/HUSH] button to test the functionality of the alarm after mounting it. An alarm signal will beep confirming the working condition.

Important:
Pay close attention to these siting recommendations below in order to guarantee optimal performance of your smoke alarm.

• For the safety of the end user, the smoke alarm cannot be mounted if the batteries are not placed.
• 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 to mount a smoke alarm device?

• Centered at the ceiling of the room
• Max height: 6m
• Min 0,5 m distance to walls/ barriers:
• Small rooms with a width of <1m: Centered at the ceiling
• Corridors with a maximum width of 3m: Max.15m distance between 2 smoke alarms. Max. 7,5m between the front and smoke alarm devices at edges/crossings of corridors.
• Galleries: If the length and width of the gallery are >2m and the gallery area is >16m2, an additional smoke alarm will be required.
• In roof slopes: If >20°, minimal 0,5m and maximal 1m to rooftop. If ≤20°, consider a flat ceiling. In partial roof slopes: if a flat ceiling is ≤1m in width, consider a roof slope. If flat ceiling is >1m wide, consider a flat ceiling.
• Ceiling joists (or similar): If height ≤0,2m, install at the ceiling or on the joist. If height > 0,2m and separated area > 36m2 => additional smoke alarm devices in between.
• Ceiling joists (or similar): If the height is ≤0,2m, install the alarm to the ceiling or on the joist. If height > 0,2m and in separated areas > 36m2 => additional smoke alarms will be required in between.

Where not to mount your 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 -10 ~ +50 °C.
• In damp spaces/kitchens/bathrooms, 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/hush button, battery replacement, and maintenance.

Resetting the smoke alarm

• Press the [LEARN] button for 10-15 seconds. A red LED will be on, start flashing after 15 seconds then go out. The smoke alarm has now been reset and can be paired again.
• After resetting the alarm let the device rest for 5 minutes while it recalibrates itself.

Battery Replacement
If the battery is running low, the smoke alarm will indicate this with an audible “beep”. This indicator sounds continually with intervals of 43 seconds for at least 30 days.  replace the batteries immediately when this indicator is given. To replace the batteries open the apparatus (see image 1), remove the empty batteries and insert the new batteries. We highly recommend you replace the batteries on a fixed date, to ensure timely replacement.

• IMPORTANT: After replacing the batteries, always test the smoke alarm for correct operation using the test/hush button.
• IMPORTANT: Only replace batteries with one of the certified battery types: Pairdeer 2 x1,5V LR03/AAA, Duracell 2x 1,5V LR03/ AAA

ALARM SILENCE / HUSH MODE
If you push the test/hush button when the smoke alarm is sounding, it will pause the smoke alarm for approximately 9 minutes. The red LED will flash every 10 seconds, it indicates the hush mode is activated. Smoke alarms 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 alarm is desensitized by pushing the test/hush 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 alarm will automatically reset after approximately 9 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.

MAINTENANCE

Testing: We highly recommend you to test the functionality of your smoke alarm every month. Press and hold the test/hush 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/hush 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, this could damage the apparatus or ignite combustible materials and start a fire. Cleaning: For optimal performance, the smoke alarm must be dusted once a month and vacuumed every six months. Do not touch the inside of the smoke alarm with the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. Always test the functionality of the apparatus after cleaning by pressing the test/hush button. Please register for free reminders at the smart reminder.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• A false alarm 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 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.
