Alecto SA-41 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 11

EN
The SA-41 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the first stage. If smoke or heat
develops, the SA-41 will give a loud beep of at least 85dB (A). As part of the link function all
the smoke alarms within range will sound the alarm. We advice to test the smoke detectors weekly
using the test button on the detectors. Save this manual in a safe place or inside of the electricity
meter cupboard.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS FOR THE SA-41:
• Install the first smoke detector near the bedroom. Ensure that it is placed so, if it would detect fire,
at least one exit route would still be accessible. We recommend to place one alarm near each
potential blockade of your exit route, so you are alerted before a fire would block off escape.
• Use multiple smoke detectors to increase safety and ensure an alert before the escape route is blocked.
• Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your house.
• Install at least one smoke detector in each room where people smoke or where there is equip-
ment that may potentially cause a fire.
• Smoke and heat will first move upwards towards the ceiling; after that the smoke and heat will
travel horizontally.
• Install the detector on the ceiling. Except for rooms smaller than 1m, you should stay at least
50 cm away from the wall and 61cm from any corner. Smoke and heat do not gather in such
corners, preventing the detector from alerting you on time.
DO NOT INSTALL IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
• The kitchen; Steam from cooking might give a false alarm.
• The shower or bathroom; water damp might cause a false alarm and the moist environment
might damage the detector.
• The garage: The car exhaust might cause a false alarm.
• In front of a fan or nearby the exhaust of an air conditioner or heater.
• In a ceiling nook.
• In rooms where the temperature could reach below -10°C or beyond 40°C.
• Do not paint or otherwise cover this smoke detector.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION: Attach the ceiling plate using the included plugs and screws to the
ceiling on a location of choice. Wall mounting is not recommended for smoke detection. Put the 9V
block battery and AA batteries in the smoke detector. Then put the detector to the ceiling plate and,
twist clockwise to lock it in place.
Perform a first test by holding the test key for two seconds. Also see the paragraph: "Testing".
USING, REGISTERING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:
Using: The smoke detector works if the 2 AA batteries have been placed. Be mindful that the red clip
has twisted to the inner side when you place the batteries, or the detector won't lock into the ceiling
plate.
