PHOTOELECTRIC SMOKE AND
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM BT-166
Tested in accordance with EN 14604:2005, as far as
applicable.
Currently there are two different types of smoke
detectors available: the ionization alarm and the
photoelectric smoke detector. While both types of
alarm are suitable for the general house use, an
ionization alarm normally reacts faster to quick
blazing flames. The photoelectric smoke detector
on the other hand, reacts more sensitive to slow de-
veloping smouldering fires. Because house fires de-
velop in different ways and one cannot forecast
their size, it is not possible to forecast which alarm
would give the earliest warning. Therefore, for the
best house protection it is advisable to install a
minimum of one ionization alarm and one photo-
electric smoke detector.
RECOMMENDED ALARM SYSTEM
LOCATIONS
• Locate the smoke detector in the centre of the bed-
room. Try to secure the escape routes from the
bedrooms, because these rooms are generally the
farthest from the exit. Should there be more than
one sleeping area, install a further system in each
bedroom
• Install alarm systems to protect stairs, because
stairs can easily function as chimneys to spread
smoke and fire
• Make sure that a minimum of one system is
installed on each floor
• Locate a smoke alarm system in rooms in which
smokers sleep or in which there are electrical appli-
ances
• Smoke and other combustion residue, goes up-
wards to the ceiling of the room and spreads out
horizontally. Install smoke alarm systems on the
ceiling in the middle of the room, because this is
the point at which smoke will de detected quick-
est. The ceiling installation is the preferred
choice generally in houses. However, in cara-
vans, installation on the internal walls is neces-
sary to prevent a thermal barrier that can form
on the ceiling
• Should you install the smoke alarm system on the
ceiling, make sure that there is a minimum of
50 cm from the sidewall and 61 cm from each
corner (refer to Diagram A)

AVOID THESE LOCATIONS
DO NOT INSTALL THE SMOKE ALARM SYSTEM IN:
• Kitchen – steam from cooking can inadvertently
activate the alarm
• Garage – combustion residue occurs when you
start your car
• In front of heating or air-conditioning units
• At the highest point of 'A' shaped roofs
• In rooms where the temperature falls to below 5
degrees Celsius or rises above 45 degrees Celsius
• Do not attach a smoke detector to the ceiling of a
caravan, or similar room. Sun rays heat up the ceil-
ing and the air in the upper part of the room. Hot
air at the ceiling can prevent the smoke of a dan-
gerous smouldering fire getting to the smoke
detector
THE SMOKE ALARM SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION
WITHOUT A BATTERY. A NEW, SUITABLE BATTERY
MUST BE INSTALLED, WHEN THE BATTERY LOW
SIGNAL SOUNDS. OTHERWISE THE APPLIANCE
WILL NOT FUNCTION. TEST IT WEEKLY, READ AND
FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE APPLIANCE FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY.
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE AN ESCAPE PLAN
FUNDAMENTALS FOR AN ESCAPE PLAN
• Make a floor plan, where all doors and windows are
shown and indicates a minimum of two escape
routes from each room. For windows on the
second floor, a rope or ladder could be useful
• Work together with all occupants to devise an
escape route and instruct everybody what to do in
case of a fire
• Determine a location outside of the house as a
meeting point, in case of a fire
• Make everybody conversant with the sound of the
smoke alarm system. Explain to everybody that
they must vacate the house when this noise
sounds
• Mark the children's bedroom with red stickers on
the upper left corner of the window. The stickers
are available from the local fire service
• Practice a fire alarm at least once every 6 months.
Practice helps you to check your escape route in
the case of an emergency. It can be that you cannot
help your children. It is important that they know
what to do in an emergency.
WHAT TO DO WHEN ALARM SOUNDS
• Immediately vacate the house, in accordance with
the escape plan. Each second counts – so do not
waste time by dressing or taking valuable items
• When vacating the premises, do not open a door
before you touch the surface. If this is hot, or if you
see smoke streaming in under the door, do not
open the door! Instead, use the alternative escape
route. Should the surface of the door be cool, press
your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be
ready to close it if heat and smoke should infiltrate
• If the air is filled with smoke, keep close to the
floor. Breathe through a cloth, preferably one that is
moist!
• When you are outside, go to the appointed meeting
area and make sure that all occupants are there
• Call the fire service from your neighbour's house –
not from your house!
61 cm min.
• Do not go back into the house until the fire service
allow you to
FALSE ALARM
The smoke alarm system should minimize false
alarms. Smoking of cigarettes does not generally set
off the alarm, only if smoke is directly blown into the
equipment. Combustion particles that are also pro-
duced when cooking can activate an alarm if the appli-
ance is near the cooker. When cooking, generally a
large quantity of combustion particles and smoke are
produced. Should the system record an alarm, first
check to see if there is actually a source of fire. If you
find a fire, immediately call the fire service. If there is
no fire, check to see if the reasons mentioned above
could have activated the alarm.

WARNING: If it doubtful whether it is really an alarm,
it should be assumed that the alarm indicates a fire
Family room
and the flat is to be immediately evacuated.
USE, TEST & CLEANING
USE: The smoke alarm system functions as soon as a
battery is installed. When combustion particles are
detected in the air, a loud alarm sounds, which stops
again as soon as the air is clear.
TEST: To test, activate the test button for a minimum of
4 seconds until the alarm sounds. Thereby, a self-test
program is activated. The alarm sounds if the electron-
ic circuit between the alarm signal and battery func-
tions. It is emphatically recommended TO TEST WEEK-
LY, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY.
Should no alarm sound, the battery could be defect.
Try again after replacing the battery with a new one.
The noise emission in the case of an alarm is a
minimum of 85 dB(A).
FOR PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, PLEASE
DISPOSE OF THE BATTERIES CORRECTLY.
CLEANING: The smoke detector is almost mainte-
nance-free. However, it must be cleaned of dust regu-
larly. This can be done with a vacuum cleaner by
cleaning all sides of the smoke detector.
REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERIES
By normal use of the smoke detector, the supplied 9 V
DC battery should last for a minimum of one year. The
smoke detector has a display for a low battery, a
"twitter" can be heard. It operates in intervals of 30-
40 seconds and retains for a minimum of 30 days.
Replace the battery, when you hear this indication.
Only use 9 V DC batteries (available at most chemists,
hardware or specialist electric stores).
Carbon-Zinc type:
Eveready #216; Gold Peak #1604P (UL); Gold Peak
#1604S; Gold Peak #1604G; Premisafe #G6F22.
Alkaline types:
Eveready Energizer #522; Gold Peak #1604A; Vinnic
AM9V; Duracell #MN1604.
Only replace with the same or an equivalent type
After the battery is installed, you should always test
the function of the appliance by using the test device.
If the alarm signal does not function correctly, please
contact the manufacturer.
USEFUL SAFETY MEASURES
In certain situations, a smoke alarm system cannot be
effective for protection against fire as specified in
Standard NFPA 74. For example:
• By smoking in bed
• When children are left unsupervised in the house
• When cleaning with flammable liquids (benzine)
INSTALLATION AND FITTING
Your smoke alarm system is to be simply installed on
the ceiling. The complete attachment material is
supplied with each smoke alarm system. First, hold
the assembly plate on the ceiling and mark 2 drill
holes. Drill the holes at the locations marked and then
use the supplied screws to attach the assembly plate
to the ceiling.
Use a 2.5 mm and drill a hole approx. 20 mm deep in
the wood panelling or beams and attach the bracket
with the screws supplied.
For concrete or stonework, use a 5.5 mm drill and
drill 25 - 30 mm deep. Make sure that the wall plugs
hold in the holes. If not, look for another position for
the smoke detector.
Subsequently, install the battery and attach the alarm
system on the assembly plate. The system has a safe-
ty device that prevents the system being installed in
the assembly plate when no battery is installed. If
your smoke alarm system does not fit into the assem-
bly plate, make sure that the batteries are correctly
installed.
