CAUTION
- The installation instructions must be followed strictly to avoid unsafe conditions.

B. Test your alarm
- The detector is tested before leaving the factory to ensure proper operation.
- You may test the detector yourself by pressing the test button. The alarm will sound if the detector is working well. If there is no sound, refer to the “Trouble shooting” section.
CAUTION
- DO NOT test your detector using an open flame. This may damage the detector or ignite combustible materials and start a structural fire.

red LED light flashes once every 8 seconds. The detector is automatically
reset after 10 minutes.
CAUTION
Before using the silence mode, identify the source of the smoke and be certain
a safe condition exists.
E. Mount the detector Determine correct mounting location
- Check Figures 3, 4, and 5 for correct mounting locations. Most EU countries require smoke detectors on all floors and escape routes.
- Smoke spreads horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the detector in the middle of the ceiling.
- If the length of the room or the hall is beyond 10 meters, you need to install multiple alarms.
Do not mount detectors on these locations
- Areas with high humidity (e.g. kitchens, bathrooms), insects, dust/dirt, easily polluted and high temperature.
- Within 1.5 meters of lamps, next to air outlets (e.g. doors/windows), fans, and central heating.
- In the top of a room with sloping roofs, in the corner of the room or in other dead-air spaces.
- Places with difficult access, making it difficult to operate the test function.
Mounting instructions
- Step 1 : Twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise off the detector. Step 2: Put the bracket on the mounting position and mark the 2 screw holes.
- Step 3 : Drill two 5mm mounting holes and insert the two plastic anchor plugs with a hammer.
- Step 4 : Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling or the wall.
- Step 5: Attach the detector to the mounting bracket and turn clockwise to lock the detector.
F. Maintenance and cleaning
There are a few steps you need do to keep it working properly:
- Test the detector at least once a month.
- Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke.
- Never attempt to disassemble the detector to clean inside. This will damage the detector and possibly render it unuseable.
- Clean the detector at least once a month to remove dust, dirt or debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides and covers of the detector.
G. Trouble shooting
- The detector does not sound when testing: Check whether the smoke detector is activated.
- The detector beeps every 60 seconds and red LED flashes: The battery is low; the detector needs to be replaced. Contact us on contact@aroha.nl to replace it if the warranty is still in place.
- The detector beeps every 40 seconds : Clean the smoke detector, by using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides and covers of the smoke detector. If the issue continues, the detector is malfunctioning. Contact us on contact@aroha.nl to replace it if the warranty is still in place.
- False alarms triggered intermittently or when residents are cooking, taking showers, etc.: Check whether there is any danger from smoke and/or fire nearby. Once the danger has been ruled out, press the test button to set the silent mode. To prevent future false alarms, clean and maintain the smoke detector as directed. Also consider installing the smoke detector in a different location if it gives a false alarm due to water vapor, for example.
