PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HSSA/PE
is a multiple station photoelectric smoke alarm and can be
connected to other alarms of the same make and type. This
interconnect feature allow up to 20 units to be connected together
over 80 metres maximum, using the single white wire, and thus
allowing all alarms to sound when any one is activated.
Note: This smoke alarm cannot be connected to any other
device such as a fi
All the Smoke Alarms should be interconnected to ensure the early
warning will be heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly
designed early warning fire system ensures the alarm is given
before the escape routes become blocked with smoke.

LOCATING THE SMOKE ALARM
If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection you
should fit an alarm in a corridor or hallway between the sleeping and
living areas
possible and ensure the audible alarm can be heard when the
bedrooms are occupied. See Figure 1 for examples.
If your dwelling is multi-storey, for minimum protection
should be fitted at the bottom of the staircase with further alarms
fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes basements but
excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics. See Figure 2 for
examples.
NOTE: For maximum protection an alarm should be fitted in
every room (except kitchen, bathroom and garage).
DO NOT FIT AN ALARM IN THE KITCHEN OR BATHROOM, as

POSITIONING THE SMOKE ALARM
Ceiling Mounting
As smoke rises and spreads out, it is advisable to mount on
a ceiling in a central position. Avoid areas where there is no air
circulation. E.g. Corners of rooms and keep away from items
which may prevent the free flow of air. Place the unit at least
300 mm from light fitting or decorative object which might
obstruct smoke entering the alarm
from walls. See Figure 3i.
. Keep at least 300 mm away
Wall Mounting
Do not mount tight into the corners. Put the top edge of your
smoke alarm between 150 and 300mm below the ceiling. Keep
at least 300mm from room corners. See Figure 3i

INSTALLING THE SMOKE ALARM
WARNING – This smoke alarm is mains powered and requires
wiring by a qualified electrician in accordance with the current
IEE Regulations for Electrical Installations (BS7671).
The circuit used to power the smoke alarm must be a dedicated
permanent supply that cannot be switched off accidentally by the
normal user. Before installing ensure the electrical supply is

WARNING : To prevent injury, this smoke alarm must be securely
attached to the ceiling/wall in accordance with the installation
instructions.
The Smoke Alarm will function correctly either as a stand-alone
alarm or inter-connected.
All interconnected Smoke Alarms must be supplied from a
single power circuit.
A common neutral must be used for the interconnect to function.

Disconnect the AC main power from the circuit that is going to be
used.
Having established the mounting location install a junction box
suitable for locating the termination point. Ensure that there is
no other electrical wiring or pipe work in the area adjacent to
the mounting surface.

OPERATING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Once the smoke alarm has been installed a small GREEN indicator
light (LED) should be visible through the alarm grill indicating that AC
supply is healthy. A RED indicator light (LED) should also flash
approximately once a minute to indicate the battery is healthy and
the unit is operating properly.
If smoke is detected, the unit will emit a load pulsating alarm and a
RED indicator light (LED) will be flashing quickly at the same time
until the air is clear.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your smoke alarm once a week to
ensure the detector is working correctly.
Push and hold the test button for approximately 3 seconds. A loud
pulsating alarm should sound and a RED indicator light (LED) will
flash at the same time.
NOTE – for multiple interconnected smoke alarms, only the RED
indicator light (LED) of the originating unit will

HUSH OR SILENCE FEATURE
This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature
incorporated into the Test button. If cooking or other nonhazardous sources cause the unwanted alarm, it can be temporarily
silenced by depressing the test button and holding for approximately
3 seconds. The alarm will enter a dormant period for 10 minutes.
The red LED will flash every 10 seconds to indicate the se

normal sensitivity.
NOTE – If the smoke density increase during this period (i.e. from a
fire) the unit will go into alarm mode.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the smoke alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once a minute the battery is
at the end of its life and should be replaced immediately. This low
voltage warning will be given for at least 30 days. In this case, the
other interconnected units in the system which are not in low battery
condition will chirps for a few seconds once an hour as long as the
