Information about the battery

This device contains a non-replaceable lithium battery. Under normal conditions the battery has a lifetime of approx. 10 years. When the battery is running low, a short warning tone sounds every 32 seconds for about 30 days and the LED flashes briefly. During this time this device is still fully functional. However, it is strongly recommended to replace the device immediately! After approx. 30 days the device is no longer functional and switches off. Replace the device after an operating period of 10 years!

Note: The recurring warning sound can be muted for about 10 hours by pressing the TEST button. After 10 hours, a short warning tone sounds again every 32 seconds.

Startup

Attention: In order to prevent your hearing from being stressed too much by the very loud alarm tone, do not hold the device close to your head during the function check! To avoid frightening noise-sensitive persons such as small children, do not hold the unit in the same room during the function check!

Attention: Check the function of this device weekly!

Activation of the heat detector
Attach the mounting plate to the back of the unit until it is fully engaged. Then press and hold the TEST button for about 3 seconds until the LED lights up and a short beep is heard. The device is now ready for operation.

Functional check
To check the function, keep the TEST button pressed for approx. 3s. The alarm tone sounds and the LED lights up red. This is to check whether the electronics, the alarm of the heat detector and the battery are functioning. The alarm tone stops immediately after releasing the TEST button.

Note: If neither the alarm sounds nor the LED flashes, the device is not activated or the device may be defective. In the event of a defect, the unit must be replaced

Temporary muting the Alarm
In the event of a false alarm, the alarm tone can be muted for approx. 10 minutes. It is essential to ensure that the alarm was not triggered by a fire! To mute the alarm temporarily, press the TEST button. Then open doors and windows to cool down the air. If after 10 minutes the room temperature is higher than 54°C, the alarm will sound again. The mute function can be repeated as often as required by pressing the TEST button. This function cannot be activated if there is excessive high temperatures. To deactivate the mute function, press the TEST button!

Recurrent self-test of the heat detector on its function
This device performs every 32 seconds a self-test. You can see this by a short blink of the LED.

Installation

SEBSON-GS403-Magnetic-Fixing-Heat-Alarm-fig-6

Dowel
Mounting base
Holes for screws for fixing
Screw
Retainer of the bayonet connection

Attention: Before drilling the mounting holes, make sure that there are no gas, electricity or water pipes at the drilling location that could be damaged by this!

Attention: The device is only ready for operation if the case is properly attached to the mounting base. Otherwise the battery is deactivated and the device is not ready for use. Install the heat detector in the middle of the room if possible. Observe a minimum distance of 0.5m from the side wall and 0.6m from the corner of the room, as well as a maximum installation height of 6m (see Fig.5).

Remove the mounting plate located on the back of the housing by turning it counterclockwise.
Select an easily accessible installation location, as the heat detector must be checked weekly for proper functioning!
Hold the mounting base to the position on the ceiling where you want to attach the unit. Then draw the holes for the drill holes on the ceiling with a pencil.
Then drill two holes (Ø 6mm). Take the two plugs included in the delivery and insert them into the drilled holes.
Screw the mounting base to the ceiling. The screws are included in the delivery.
Attach the housing to the mounting base by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place.

Behavior in case of fire
In case of fire, go outside immediately and call the fire brigade for help! Do not waste time by putting on clothes or carrying personal belongings. Inhaling the dangerous smoke gas will cause severe damage to your body, which can lead to unconsciousness and subsequent death!

Information for private households (WEEE)
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (WEEE) contains a large number of requirements for the handling of electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarised here.

Separate collection of waste equipment
Old, worn-out or defective electrical and electronic equipment is referred to as waste equipment. These devices must not be disposed of in the normal household waste or together with the residual waste. The devices should be transferred to special collection and return systems.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries as well as illuminants
As a rule, owners of WEEE shall separate spent batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the WEEE, as well as light sources that can be removed from the WEEE without causing damage, before handing it over to a collection point. This does not apply if WEEE is prepared for reuse with the participation of a public waste management authority. Batteries or rechargeable batteries that contain harmful substances are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin and must not be disposed of in household waste. Below the dustbin symbol is the chemical name of the pollutant – in the example below “Cd” for cadmium. “Pb” stands for lead, “Hg” for mercury: If disposed of improperly, the substances contained in the batteries may cause hazards to health and the environment. The hazards are averted by the separate collection and proper disposal of used batteries.

Options for returning old appliances
Owners of WEEE from private households can hand it in free of charge at the collection points of the public waste management authorities or at the take- back points set up by manufacturers or distributors.

Data privacy notice
Old devices often contain sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to information and telecommunications technology devices such as computers and smartphones. In your own interest, please note that each end user is responsible for deleting the data on the end-of-life devices to be disposed of.

Meaning of the “crossed-out dustbin” symbol

The symbol of a crossed-out dustbin regularly displayed on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that the respective device must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.

Cleaning
Clean the housing regularly from dirt, dust or cobwebs! Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft suction brush or a soft cleaning cloth. For the unit to function properly, the housing, especially the air slots, should always be free of dirt! In order not to damage the product, it is essential to avoid water penetrating into the housing! Never clean the device under running water! Do not use solvent-containing cleaner for cleaning. Do not use solvent-containing cleaner for cleaning!
