INTRODUCTION

The ST-622 multi-criteria high performance
detector is the ultimate alternative to
traditional alarms. Groundbreaking
Thermoptek technology combines
the very latest in optical sensing with
thermal enhancement, providing faster
response to both fire types eliminating
the need for ionisation sources which
can be harmful to the environment. In
addition, this smoke alarm allows the
low battery warning chirp to be silenced
until it is convenient to replace the alarm
(recommended within no more than 7
days).

IMPORTANT: This user manual contains
important information regarding the
operation of your smoke alarm. Ensure
you read this user manual fully before
installing and operating the alarm. If you
are installing this smoke alarm for use by
others, you must leave this manual with
the end user.

AUTOMATIC

POWER ENGAGE

Your 10 year life smoke alarm is powered
by an internal lithium power pack. To avoid
unnecessary use of the power pack prior
to installation, and to ease disposal when
the alarm reaches the end of its life, the
alarm is supplied with the power pack in
a deactivated state. The power pack on this
alarm is automatically enabled when the
alarm is fully locked on to the base plate.

IMPORTANT: Your alarm will not
work until it is correctly fitted to the
base plate.

THERMOPTEK
TECHNOLOGY

Thermoptek alarms are “toast-proof”
meaning they can be positioned in area
close to kitchens that may be affected by
cooking fumes. Heat alarms should be
used in kitchens where required.

This combines an optical sensing chamber
with thermal enhancement. The alarm is
effective at detecting slow burning fires,
and constant monitoring of temperature
changes enables the sensitivity of the
alarm to be instantly increased thereby
quickening the typical response time to
fast flaming fires significantly.

POSITIONING

WARNING: Your smoke alarm can be

installed into a new build property as
additional protection to an existing smoke
detection system only. It cannot be used
as a substitute for a hard wired system as
required in new build properties. In this
type of property the building regulations
require alarms to be interlinked. You can
obtain further information from your local
fire service or building control department
at your local council offices. These sources
generally provide advice on new builds or
projects that require planning permission.

Your smoke alarm typically meets the
minimum requirements for family living
units in existing buildings, as long as at
least one unit is installed on each floor/
level of your property.

In order to achieve the earliest fire
warning, we recommend that a smoke
alarm is fitted in all rooms where the
temperature is normally between 4°C
(40°F) and 38°C (100°F). Check the section
on ‘Positioning’ to ensure that the smoke
alarm is to be correctly positioned for
the particular dwelling into which it is
intended to be installed.

WARNING: The alarm positions shown
are based on typical homes. Construction
and layout of individual dwellings will
vary, so this should be regarded only as
a guide. Check with your local fire station
for further guidance.

MINIMUM RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDED FOR ADDITIONAL
PROTECTION

NOTE: Kitchens should be covered by a
self contained heat detector.

Multi-family or mixed occupant
residence (Tenancy building, student
accommodation)

Your smoke alarm can also be used in
individual flats and bedsits, providing the
same conditions are met as for a single­family residence. However, there must
already be a primary fire detection system
that meets regulatory requirements
for common areas such as lobbies and
hallways.
