(e.g. metallic surfaces).
If the locatio n of your new alarm require s the provision
of a new elect rical supply, the supply mus t conform to
the requirements of the Building Regulations.
This product is designed for permanent connection
to xed wiring: th is should be either a suit able circuit
(protecte d with a 5 or 6 Amp MCB or fuse) or a fuse d spur
(with a 3 Amp fuse) via a fu sed connection uni t.
Make connect ions to the electric al supply in accordance
with the follow ing code:

used to connec t to the supply and bet ween alarms.
You are advised at ever y stage of your insta llation to
double-check any electrical connections you have made.
After you have comp leted your installati on there are
electric al tests that should be c arried out: these tes ts are
specied in t he Wiring Regulations ( BS7671) referred to
in the Building Regulations.
LOCATING T HE SMOKE ALAR M:
This smoke alar m is a multi station ionisat ion alarm and
can be connec ted to other smoke alarms of t he same
make and typ e. This interconnect fe ature allows up
to 40 smoke detec tors to be connecte d together over
a distance of 150 metres m aximum, using the single
yellow wire thus al lowing all smoke detec tors to sound
when one is ac tivated. This smoke dete ctor cannot be
connected to a ny other device such as a re alar m panel.
If your dwelling i s on a single storey, for minimum
protectio n you should t an alarm in the ha llway
between th e living areas (includin g kitchens) and the
sleeping are as. Place it as near to the livin g areas as
possible and e nsure that alarm is audible w hen the
bedrooms are occupied. See Fig.1 below.
If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection,
one alarm shou ld be tted at the bott om of the staircase
with furth er alarms tted on each up stairs landing.
This includes b asements but exclude s crawl spaces and
unnished at tics. See Fig. 2 below.
NOTE: For max imum protection, an al arm should be
tted in ever y room (except kitchen, b athroom and
garage).
DO NOT FIT A SMOK E ALARM IN THE KITCH EN OR
BATHROOM, as cooking fumes an d steam may trigger
the alarm.
DO NOT FIT A SMOK E ALARM IN A GARAGE as e xhaust
fumes could trigger the alarm.
The smoke alarm s hould be located at lea st 300mm
away from a light t ting. See Fig. 3 below.
POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM:
As smoke rises , it is advisable to mount th e alarm on a
ceiling in a centra l position. Avoid areas whe re there is
no air circulatio n e.g. corners of rooms an d keep away
from anythin g that might obstruct th e free ow of air.
If wall mountin g, do not mount tight into corne rs. On
sloping ceilin gs, mount 900mm fro m the apex measured
horizontally. See Fig. 4 below.
Areas to be avoided include the following:
• Locations where th e ambient temperature may f all
below 4°C or ris e above 40°C.
• Humid areas such as bathr ooms, kitchens, or sh ower
rooms where th e relative humidity may e xceed 90%.
• Fume lled environmen ts such as garages. Ex haust
gases may cause fa lse alarms.
• Adjacent to or directl y above hot objects su ch as
radiators or wa ll vents that can aect t he direction of
air currents.
• In very dusty or dirty environments such as workshops.
INSTALLATION:
01. Remove the base plate fr om the alarm.
02. Using the mounting plate as a temp late mark the
position of the xing holes.
03. Place base plate over xi ng holes and secure usin g
the wall plugs an d screw supplied, (if wall p lugs and
screws supplie d are not suitable for you r application
use suitable alternatives).
04. Connect the p ower connector to the inco ming mains
supply observing the wiring colour code opposite. If
multiple smoke a larms are not to be interconne cted,
isolate the yell ow wire in a separate termin al block
and wrap well wi th insulation tape.
05. When smoke alarms are t o be interconnected,
connect all of t he yellow wires togethe r.
06. If the smoke alarm s are to be locked into positi on,
remove the two t amper-proof tabs fro m the
mounting plate a nd retain for use later.
07. Insert the 9V b attery into the smoke a larm noting
the polarit y of the connections . Ensure the metal tab
is fully depres sed when the batter y has been tted.
Note: For safet y of the end user the smoke a larm
cannot be t ted without its batte ry.
08. Before assemb ly to the base plate test the co rrect
operation of the smoke detector (operating from the
battery o nly) by pressing the test but ton on the front
of the detect or. The unit should emit a loud p ulsing
alarm.
09. Conn ect the power connec tor into the socket on the
rear of the smoke de tector. Note: This is a pola rized
connector and can only be plugged in one way.
10. Asse mble the detector onto t he base plate by
aligning the t wo projections on the b ase plate with
the two keyhol e slots in the detecto r. Lock in position
by turning clockwise.
11. Insert the tw o tamper-proof tabs in th e slots
provided in th e side of the unit. Once t ted the
detector ca n only be removed from th e base plate
by rst removin g these tabs, gently pr ising them out
with a screw drive r.
12. Replace the circuit f use and restore the power.
13. Test the correc t operation of the smo ke detector by
pressing the tes t button on the front of th e detector,
the alarm shoul d emit a loud pulsating al arm.

OPERATION:
Once your smoke al arm has been installe d a small GREEN
indicator light ( LED) should be visible thro ugh the
detector gr ill indicating that the AC supp ly is healthy. A
RED indicator li ght (LED) should also ash appr oximately
once a minute to indi cate that the battery i s healthy.
When smoke is det ected, the unit will em it a loud
pulsating alar m and a RED indicator light (LE D) will ash
quickly until the air is clear.
The “HUSH” fea ture can mute the detec tor if it has been
inadvertently triggered by holding down the test button
for a few second s. The smoke alarm will be m uted for
10 minutes and then res et into normal mode af ter this
period.
NOTE: if the smoke density increases during this time
the smoke alarm w ill be triggered again .
TESTIN G YOUR SMOKE ALA RM:
After insta llation and after reo ccupation of the dwellin g
following a vac ation etc; check all alar ms for correct
operation.
It is recommend ed that you test your smoke al arm once
a week to ensure the d etector is working co rrectly.
Push and hold the te st button for approxi mately 3
seconds. A loud pulsating alarm should sound and a RED
ashing indic ator light (LED) can be seen to ind icate that
the unit is functioning correctly.
NOTE: For multiple inter connected smoke alar ms,
test each alarm in t urn checking also that t he alarm is
triggered on all other smoke alarms.
MAINTAINING YOUR SMOKE ALARM:
If the smoke dete ctor emits a short “ beep” once a minute
the batter y is at the end of its life and sh ould be replaced
immediately. Thi s low voltage warning wil l be given for
at least 7 days.
WARNING: The use of b atteries other than
those recomme nded on the back of the smo ke alarm
may be detrimental to its operation.
Clean your smoke al arm regularly to prevent d ust build
up. This can be do ne using a vacuum cleaner w ith the
brush attachment. Clean gently around the front grille
section and the sides.
IMPORTANT:
If there is any ques tion as to the cause of an alar m it
should be assum ed that the alarm is due to an ac tual re
and the dwelling s hould be evacuated imm ediately.

2. Me et at a pre-arrange d meeting place outsi de the
dwelling and che ck everybody is the re.
3. Cal l the Fire Brigade immedi ately from outside
the building. The brigade should be summoned
regardless of t he size of the re and regardl ess of
whether ther e is a facility for transm ission of alarms to
a remote manned centre.
4. Do n ot go back inside a burning b uilding, wait for the
Fire Brigade to ar rive.
