taken into consideration. Detector can also be fitted on the ceiling
beam (joist).
• Rooms of over 60 m² and corridors longer than 15 m require
several smoke alarm devices (Fig. A).
• Ensure that smoke alarm devices are installed at a maximum height
of 6 m. For higher ceilings, we recommend installing several
smoke alarm devices at various levels
• If the height of a room is divided by a landing or a balcony, a
smoke alarm device must be installed underneath these facilities if
they cover an area of over 16 m² and have a length and width
greater than 2 m.
• Install smoke alarm devices a minimum of 4 m away from open
fireplaces, stoves, etc.
Installation/Commissioning
• To prevent injuries, ensure that the type of attachment is suitable
for the mounting surface.
• Mount the base of the smoke alarm device on the ceiling as
centrally as possible (Fig. E).
• Protect the device from dust when drilling holes.
• Pull the red battery safety tab from its OFF position in the
direction of ON, turn it sideways to fix it and press it into the
intended slot (Fig. F).
• Mount the smoke alarm device on its base and turn it in a
clockwise direction until it clicks into place (Fig. G).
• Carry out the test function by pressing and holding the test/silent
button until a loud, pulsating alarm signal sounds (see also Test/
Maintenance). The alarm is now ready for use and after testing,
first starts in silent mode with lower sensitivity to smoke. The red
LED now flashes every 10 seconds. After 10 minutes, this mode
will finish and the smoke alarm will be in normal smoke detection
mode. You can end silent mode manually at any time by pressing
and holding the test/silent button until a signal sounds.
• In the event of any technical problems, contact the
manufacturer
or your local distributor.
Operation
The test/silent button (Fig. G1) has two functions:
1. Temporarily silence the alarm for approx. 10 min by
briefly pressing the button when the alarm is triggered or
preventatively to stop an alarm from sounding. During these
10 minutes, the red LED flashes every 10 seconds. If the
smoke is too dense, the alarm is triggered again.
2. Test the function of the smoke alarm device by pressing the
button until a loud, pulsating alarm sounds.
Test/Maintenance
When the test function is selected, a complete test of the
smoke alarm device is performed in accordance with EN
14604, which includes a battery function test, electronic smoke
chamber test, electronics test, etc. A test must be performed at
least once every year. To do so, press the button (Fig. G1) until
a loud, pulsating alarm sounds (approx. 85 dB/3 m), then you
can let go of the button.
When necessary (around once a year), wipe the device with a
clean, dry cloth and carefully clean the outside with a vacuum
cleaner.
Take note of any fittings within a radius of 0.5 m that may
prevent smoke from entering the smoke alarm device. If such
fittings are present, the mounting location must be reviewed
and changed if necessary or the fittings must be removed.
The smoke alarm device continuously performs automatic
self-testing processes. This includes testing the electronics,
checking the voltage and internal resistance of the battery, and
testing the smoke chamber function, etc. Correct functionality
and operational readiness is indicated by a brief flashing signal
from the red LED approx. every 5 minutes.
