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 (or a copy of it) 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 is automatically
enabled when the alarm is fully locked on to
the base plate.
IMPORTANT: Your alarm will not work until
it is correctly located and secured on the
base plate.
THERMOPTEK SENSOR
TECHNOLOGY
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
4
typical response time to fast flaming fires
significantly.
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.
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 that the smoke alarm is
correctly positioned for the particular
dwelling into which it is intended to be
installed.
WARNING: The alarm positions shown
below 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.

PROTECTION
NOTE: Kitchens should be covered by a

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.
Institutions and Hotels
This includes motels, hospitals, day care
facilities, long-term health care facilities,
boarding houses and dormitories. Your
smoke alarm can be used in individual
sleeping/resident rooms, 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. Use of this smoke alarm in
common areas may not provide sufficient
fire warning to residents or meet regulatory
requirements. This smoke alarm is designed
to operate as a standalone smoke alarm.
WARNING: This smoke alarm will not
communicate with other smoke alarms or
fire alarm systems. It is not intended as a
substitute for a complete alarm system.
Mobile Homes and Caravans
This smoke alarm is suitable for use in
mobile homes and caravans.
