4. Installation
4.1 Recommended Installation Locations
Note
• In each apartment, place smoke alarms at least in every bedroom and nursery, as well as in the
hallways leading to these rooms and along escape routes.
• In hallways with a maximum width of 3 m, the maximum distance permitted between two smoke
alarm devices is 15 m. The distance from the smoke alarm to the front face of the hallway must not
be greater than 7.5 m.
• Smoke and combustion by-products rise upward towards the ceiling before spreading horizontally.
The ideal installation location is on the ceiling in the middle of the room.
• A single smoke alarm device is only permitted for rooms of up to 60 m
60 m , use additional smoke alarms.
2
• A single smoke alarm is only permitted for a maximum installation height of 6 m. If the room
height exceeds 6 m, install additional smoke alarm devices at different height levels.

4
• For a minimum level of safety, it is recommended to install one smoke alarm for each hall and stairway
on each floor, as well as in each bedroom and children's room. (see Figure 2 and 3).
• For achieving an optimal level of safety, install one smoke alarm in each room, hall, cellar room and
attic room, etc. – please observe 4.2 Installation Locations with Restrictions.
• In buildings with multiple living quarters, the installation of smoke alarms should be conducted
separately in each living quarter, as well as in all common halls and stairways.
• In stairways, install the smoke alarm at the top of the stairs as a chimney effect often occurs, rapidly
drawing smoke into the upper floors.
• For installation, make sure that the smoke alarm is mounted at least 50 cm away from each side wall
or any large piece of furniture, e.g. high cupboards (see Figure 1a).
Note
• The specified installation locations, as well as the depicted positions of the smoke alarms, are only
of exemplary nature on the basis of average homes and houses, and do only serve as a point of
reference.
• Mounting the smoke alarm should be conducted by a qualified and certified electrician. Observe
all local and national electrical and building codes for installation.
4.2 Installation Locations with Restrictions
• Smoke alarms should only be installed in kitchens and damp rooms (bathrooms) if the restrictions from
Figure 1 are observed, and false alarms caused by kitchen vapours or water steam can be ruled out.
• For installing the smoke alarm near dishwashers, washing machines, ovens, etc., observe a minimum
installation distance of 3 metres away from these appliances.
• For installing the smoke alarm near ventilation shafts or openings for heat and cold air supply, observe
a minimum installation distance of 1 metre away from such areas. The air stream could blow the smoke
away from the smoke alarm, and therefore interrupt the alarm or prevent the alarm from being triggered.
• Do not install smoke alarms in garages – the combustion by-products/ exhaust fumes caused by
starting a car can trigger false alarms.
• For peaked roofs with an angle > 20°, the smoke alarm should be installed at a distance of at least
50 cm and no more than 1 m away from the gable peak; see Figure 1b. Roofs with angles of ≤ 20°
can be handled the same as horizontal ceilings.
• For rooms where only a part of the roof is peaked, please observe the following: If the width of the
horizontal ceiling is less than 1 m, the smoke alarm must be mounted on the peaked roof in accord-
ance with Figure 1c. If the width of the horizontal ceiling is greater than 1 m, the smoke alarm must
be mounted in the centre of the ceiling.
• Rooms in which either temperatures fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C, or the air humidity reaches
more than 93% are not suitable for installation.
• Do not install the smoke alarm on e.g. the ceiling of caravans or similar rooms. Sunlight will quickly
heat up the air and prevent any smoke from penetrating and triggering the smoke alarm.
• In very dirty, dusty or grimy areas, or in areas with insect infestation, smoke alarms can be exposed to pol-
lution by excess levels of dirt and dust, which can result in false alarms or impairment of smoke detection.
Note
Generally, the alarm signal of the smoke alarm is loud enough to warn persons. However, situations
may arise in which the persons are unable to hear (e.g. high ambient noise level, persons with very
deep sleep and/ or hearing impairment, persons under the influence of drugs or alcohol, etc.). Install
additional, special smoke alarms if you suspect this being the case with people in your environment.
4.3 Mounting the Base Plate
• Hold the base plate of the smoke alarm against the installation location – the two mounting holes can
be used as a template to mark the positon of the drill holes.
Warning
Prior to drilling and mounting, make sure that there are no electricity, water, gas or any other
supply lines in the area of the installation location.
• On wooden ceilings or exposed beams, drill holes with a depth of approx. 20 mm, using a 2.5 mm drill
bit. Use the supplied screws without the anchors.
• For cement or brick, use a drill bit with a maximum diameter of 5 mm (measure the supplied anchors
before) and drill approx. 25-30 mm deep so that the anchors can be inserted.
• Insert the anchors (for cement or brick).
• Mount the base plate of the smoke alarm using the supplied screws.

Note
If the smoke alarm cannot be fastened to the base plate, check the correct insertion of the battery.
If no battery is inserted, or the battery is inserted incorrectly, fastening of the smoke alarm to the
base plate is prevented by a safety mechanism.
• Check the secure fastening of the smoke alarm to the base plate.
• After its mounting, the correct function of the smoke alarm must be tested. Proceed as described in
7.1 Test/ Alarm Simulation.
6. Operation
6.1 Emergency escape plan (Recommendation)
• Discuss and create an emergency escape plan together with your family and/ or cohabitants.
• If possible, also take alternative escape routes into account, as fire could block the standard routes.
• Demonstrate the alarm signal of the smoke alarm to your family and/or cohabitants (see 7.1 Test/
Alarm Simulation) and make sure that each person is informed about adequate behaviour in the
event of an alarm.
• Make sure that also your children are able to recognize an alarm case, and that they can see them-
selves to safety.
• Determine a location outside of your house as a meeting point in the event of an alarm.
• If necessary, practise the appropriate behaviour during alarm at regular intervals. Practising helps your
family and/or cohabitants to quickly leave the house in an orderly fashion in the event of an alarm.
Child
6.2 Alarm Event
room
• In the event of an alarm – as soon as the smoke alarm detects combustion particles – the LED keeps
flashing rapidly (>1x per second), and an audible alarm signal sounds.
Alarm signal (sound sequence): 3x signal tone, short pause, 3x signal tone, short pause, 3x signal
Kitchen
tone, short pause, ...
• When conducting the simulation (see 7.1 Test/ Alarm Simulation), the LED keeps flashing once per
second, and an audible alarm signal sounds.
Workshop
• The alarm signal sound will persist until the smoke alarm is no longer able to detect any combustion
particles in the air – or the alarm simulation is ended.
Warning
The triggering of an alarm always necessitates your immediate attention and the initiation of
adequate measures!
6.3 Behaviour in the Event of Alarm (Recommendation)
Rescue Yourself and Others
• Remain calm!
• Warn other family members and/ or cohabitants!
• Immediately leave the building and close all doors and windows on your escape route – if it is safe to
do so –, to restrict the spread of smoke and fire.
• After leaving the house, go to your prearranged meeting place and ensure that all persons have left
the house.
Call the Fire Service
• Call the fire service as soon as you are in safety.
Attempts to Extinguish the Fire
• Only initiate attempts to extinguish the fire on your own if you do not endanger yourself (or others),
and if you have adequate extinguishing appliances at your disposal.
6.4 False alarms
Note
• Cigarette smoke will generally not trigger the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the
smoke alarm.
• Cooking vapours can trigger an alarm if the smoke alarm is located near a cooking area.
• If an alarm is triggered, verify whether or not a genuine emergency situation exists.
• If fire or smoke is present, call the fire service and behave in the manner described in
6.3 Behaviour in the Event of Alarm (Recommendation).
• After ensuring that the triggered alarm is a false alarm, open up any existing windows to vent off
harmless smoke / steam, and clean the smoke alarm as described in 7.3 Care.
• If these measures are not sufficient, unfasten the smoke alarm and remove the battery for a short
period of time. Before leaving the room, immediately remount and test the correct function of the
smoke alarm! (7.1 Test/ Alarm Simulation)
7. Care and Maintenance
7.1 Test/ Alarm Simulation
• Press and hold the TEST button on the smoke alarm for at least 5 seconds to simulate an alarm case
or to test the smoke alarm. The LED keeps flashing once per second, and an audible alarm signal
sounds until the TEST button is released.
• After releasing the TEST button, the alarm signal may continue to sound for a few more seconds.
• Alarm signal (sound sequence): 3x signal tone, short pause, 3x signal tone, short pause, 3x signal
tone, short pause, ...
Note
• Immediately replace smoke alarms without correct function by new devices.
• It is recommended to test the smoke alarm on a weekly basis in order to ensure its correct function.
• Only test the smoke alarm by using the TEST button. Never use an open flame, a lighter, etc. to
simulate an alarm, and to test the functionality.
7.2 Replacing the Battery/ Smoke Alarm
The battery life of the included 9V battery (type 6F22) is one year at a minimum. If the battery is weak, a
signal sound is generated every 32 seconds. Further, the LED keeps flashing every 32 seconds.
The signal indicating a weak battery will be given for a duration of at least 30 days.
Under normal circumstances, the smoke alarm is still capable of detecting smoke during this time.
Nonetheless, immediately take care of replacing the battery!
Note
Only use battery types 6F22 (zinc-carbon) or 6LR61 (alkaline)!
• Rotate the smoke alarm counter-clockwise to unfasten it from the base plate.
• Remove the discharged battery, and disconnect it from the battery connector. Connect the new battery
with the battery connector while observing the correct polarity, and insert the battery into the battery
compartment (see Figure 5).
• Correct function is indicated by a brief flash of the LED ca. every 32 seconds.
• Now, remount the smoke alarm and perform a function test as described in 5.2 Fastening the
Smoke Alarm.
Note
Both the battery service life and the service life of the smoke alarm itself (in particular of the sensor)
are limited in time. For this reason, observe the "Datum für Ersatz" (= date of replacement) printed
on the device prior to mounting the smoke alarm. Replace the smoke alarm at the recommended
date with a new device, even if a discharged battery is not indicated.
7.3 Care
Regularly clean the smoke alarm (at least once per month) to free the device from dust, dirt and residues. Use
a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and carefully vacuum the smoke alarm from all sides and on all covers.
Warning - Renovation works
• Dismount the smoke alarm or cover it to keep it dust-free prior to starting the renovation works.
• Ideally, store the device in a safe and dust-free location during the period of the renovation.
• Make sure that no paint is applied to the smoke alarm, and that no residue of masking tape is left
on the enclosure.
• Dust, paint, tape and other dirt can impair the sensitivity of the alarm trigger, and can potentially
render the smoke alarm inoperative and without function.
• Remount all correctly functioning smoke alarms back on their installation location and immediately
replace smoke alarms without correct function by new devices. Check all smoke alarms for correct
function after mounting, as described under 7.1 Test/ Alarm Simulation.
