NOTE: For maximum protection, an alarm should be
fitted in every room (except kitchen, bathroom and
garage).
DO NOT FIT A SMOKE ALARM IN THE KITCHEN OR
BATHROOM, as cooking fumes and steam may trigger
the alarm.
DO NOT FIT A SMOKE ALARM IN A GARAGE
as
exhaust fumes could trigger the alarm.
The smoke alarm should be located at least 300mm
away from a light fitting.
Positioning the smoke alarm
As smoke rises, it is advisable to mount the alarm on a
ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas where there is
no air circulation e.g. corners of rooms and keep away
from anything that might obstruct the free flow of
air. If wall mounting, do not mount tight into corners.
On sloping ceilings, mount 900mm from the apex
measured horizontally. See Fig. 4.
Areas to be avoided include the following:
• Locations where the ambient temperature may fall
below 4°C or rise above 40°C.
• Humid areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, or shower
rooms where the relative humidity may exceed 90%.
• Fume filled environments such as garages. Exhaust
gases may cause false alarms.
• Adjacent to or directly above hot objects such as
radiators or wall vents that can affect the direction of
air currents.
• In very dusty or dirty environments such as
workshops.
Installation
1. Remove the base plate from the alarm.
2. Using the mounting plate as a template mark the
position of the fixing holes.
3. Place base plate over fixing holes and secure
using the wall plugs and screw supplied, (if wall
plugs and screws supplied are not suitable for
your application use suitable alternatives).
4. Connect the power connector to the incoming
mains supply observing the wiring colour code
opposite. If multiple smoke alarms are not to
be interconnected, isolate the yellow wire in
a separate terminal block and wrap well with
insulation tape.
Wiring Diagram
5. When smoke alarms are to be interconnected,
connect all of the yellow wires together.
6. If the smoke alarms are to be locked into position,
remove the two tamper-proof tabs from the
mounting plate and retain for use later.
7. Insert the 9V battery into the smoke alarm
noting
the polarity of the connections. Ensure the
metal tab is fully depressed when the battery has
been fitted. Note: For safety of the end user the
smoke alarm cannot be fitted without its battery.
8. Before assembly to the base plate test the correct
operation of the smoke detector (operating from
the battery only) by pressing the test button on
the front of the detector. The unit should emit a
loud pulsing alarm.
9. Connect the power connector into the socket on
the rear of the smoke detector.
Note: This is a
polarized connector and can only be plugged in
one way.
