Attics: When installing smoke alarms on pitched roofs, ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m-1m from the top

of the roof (see Figure 4).
 Attics with horizontal ceiling: see Figure 5 for installation
 Mount smoke detectors at least 0.5m away from lamps!
Install several smoke alarms in large corridors or large rooms. Observe a maximum distance of 15m!

 Install smoke alarms in narrow corridors or rooms no larger than 1m wide in the middle of the ceiling.
Unsuitable mounting locations for smoke alarms:
 Rooms with high humidity, e.g. in the bathroom
 Garages or kitchens. In the kitchen should be installed a smoke alarm should only if the distance to the
stove is at least 4m.
 Smoke detectors should not be installed near heating, heating, cooling and ventilation shafts.
 On ceiling beams that are lager than 0.2m
 Near open fires or fireplaces
 In very dusty rooms.
 On A-shaped roofs, the smoke detector must not be mounted at the highest point.
 Rooms which have a room temperature below 5°C or above 40°C.
 In caravans or rooms with a low ceiling height. Since the air heats up strongly in the upper area due to, for
example, intensive solar radiation in summer, the smoke is prevented from rising to trigger the alarm of the
smoke detector.
Inserting or changing the batteries (Fig.7):
 Remove the mounting plate located on the back of the housing by turning it counterclockwise.
Then insert the batteries supplied into the battery compartment. Please note the correct polarity

 Attach the mounting plate to the housing by turning it clockwise.Note: The mounting plate can only be
screwed to the housing when the battery is inserted. This is to prevent the smoke detector from being
mounted without the batteries and thus not being able to function.
 Perform a function test after each replacement or new use of the batteries (see chapter "Start up")!
Information on battery life and battery warning signal:
 The batteries supplied have a life of approx. one year under normal conditions..
 If the batteries become weak, a short warning tone sounds every 50 seconds for approx.7 days and the
LED flashes briefly. During this time, the unit is still fully functional. Replace the batteries immediately! After
7 days, the battery fault signal goes out and the unit switches off.
