The chosen location of your new alarm should allow
for it to be securely mounted (e.g. to a ceiling joist)
and safely connected to a mains supply.
Do not attach to surfaces which are damp, freshly
painted or otherwise electrically conductive
(e.g. metallic surfaces).
If the location of your new alarm requires the provision
of a new electrical supply, the supply must conform to
the requirements of the Building Regulations.
This product is designed for permanent connection
to fixed wiring: this should be either a suitable circuit

are electrical tests that should be carried out: these
tests are specified in the Wiring Regulations (BS7671)
referred to in the Building Regulations.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Locating the smoke alarm
This smoke alarm is a multi station ionisation alarm
and can be connected to other smoke alarms of the
same make and type. This interconnect feature allows
up to 40 smoke detectors to be connected together
over a distance of 150 metres maximum, using the
single white wire thus allowing all smoke detectors
to sound when one is activated. This smoke detector
cannot be connected to any other device such as a fire
alarm panel.
If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum
protection you should fit an alarm in the hallway
between the living areas (including kitchens) and the
sleeping areas. Place it as near to the living areas as
possible and ensure that alarm is audible when the
bedrooms are occupied. See Fig.1.
If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum
protection, one alarm should be fitted at the bottom of
the staircase with further alarms fitted on each upstairs
landing. This includes basements but excludes crawl
spaces and unfinished attics. See Fig. 2.
