How to install the alarm
1. Choose an installation location in line with the
recommendations in section 2.
2. Remove the mounting plate from the smoke
alarm by turning it anticlockwise (see Fig. 9).
3. Place the mounting plate on the ceiling in the
exact location where you want to install the
alarm. Mark the position of the two screw holes
using a pencil.
4. For wire-linked alarms, use a suitable
two-core cable at the marked positions of
the individual alarms. Make the connections
to the alarm (see section 4.2).
5. Ensure that there are no electric cables in this area of the ceiling and use a 5.0 mm drill bit
to drill a hole in the centre of the marked positions. Insert the plastic dowels into the drill
holes. Screw the mounting plate onto the ceiling. If you decide to install the alarm in
adifferent way, you must ensure the alarm is fixed to the ceiling permanently.
Smoke alarms with a radio module should be installed with the antennae in the same
direction (i.e. largely parallel). To do so, choose part of the building – e.g. the front wall of
the house – and then install the mounting plates so that they all face it (see Figure 10).
Turn the device anticlockwise.
If the device does not detach, it
may have been installed with
tamper proofing (see Figure 12c).
