Thank you for purchasing Quell 240V hard-wired photoelectric
smoke alarm. Please read through our guide in full. It should be
retained for future reference.
Cut out page 10 and pin up near your Consumer Unit/Fuse
Box.
Chubb Fire & Security Pty Limited recommends for maximum
protection that both ionisation and photo-electric (optical) smoke
alarms be installed. Ionisation sensing alarms may detect
invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smouldering
fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable.
Electrical rating 240V AC,
50Hz 80mA max per alarm
(maximum 80mA for originating unit
with 24 Devices interconnected).

      Ryan StokesAug 21, 2025
      If the green LED on your Quell Smoke Alarm isn't lit, it could be due to a loss of mains power. Check the Consumer Unit for a blown fuse or tripped Circuit Breaker. Also, ensure the cables at the back of the alarm are correctly seated and wired, and that the alarm is pushed fully home. You may also need to check the consumer unit.
