Abus RM20 Bedienungs Und Installationsanleitung Handbuch Seite 16

Choose the highest point to install
the unit, ensuring that it is positioned
at least 50 cm away from surround-
ing walls, furniture and lamps. To
provide optimum protection
your home, install units in all the
other rooms and in the stairwells.
The unit is also suitable for use in the
kitchen (the most common location
for household fires).
In most cases, there is no need to
install a smoke alarm in washrooms
(bathrooms, toilets, etc.) such rooms
represent a low fire risk.
Please observe the diagrams
included in these instructions.
The unit can detect a fire early on
on the basis of the rising smoke and
the connected temperature increase
in the temperature in the room.
In the event of fire, a loud alarm tone
sounds as a warning. If you are sure
that there is no genuine need to
evacuate the building, you can
temporarily deactivate the alarm tone
(for roughly 10 minutes) or disable
the tone before it is activated by
gently pressing the unit's test and
stop button (IV). In such a case, it is
advisable to ventilate the affected
for rooms well to prevent the alarm from
RM
being activated a second time.
BATTERY FAuLT WARNING
If a single brief signalling tone
("beep") sounds roughly every
90 seconds, the battery capacity
is low.
If a double brief signalling tone
("beep-beep") sounds roughly
every 90 seconds, the unit is no
longer able to filter out imperfec-
tions in the detection optics. Both
signalling tones can be temporarily
deactivated (for 24 hours) by
pressing the test and stop
button (IV).
If the smoke alarm is emitting either
of the above-described signalling
tones, the unit will continue to
function for a maximum of 60 days
