Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Fyrnetics alarm.
Please read through our guide in full.
Kidde Fyrnetics 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. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both Ionisation and
Photoelectric alarms be installed.Heat alarms are useful in areas with condensation/dust/high humidity, such as kitchens and lofts.
Heat alarms MUST ALWAYS be interconnected to smoke alarms.
230V Interconnectable Mains Operated Alarms For models:
1SFW, 1SFWR, 2SFW, 2SFWR,
3SFW and 3SFWR
The additional Owner’s Manual should be left in a safe place
for the property owner. e.g. near Consumer Unit.

1. Installation Instructions – Introduction
This alarm is designed for installation by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the
latest I.E.E. Regulations and in regard to relevant Building Regulations.
• Read these instructions thoroughly before proceeding.
People’s lives depend on it.
•
This manual is supplied for your guidance and should not be left with the property
owner. This is for use by qualified electricians.
• AC alarms must be powered by a constant 230V AC, 50Hz supply that is not
controlled by any form of switch.
Grade ‘D’ – AC with secondary power e.g. Alkaline battery/rechargeable cells.
Recommended to connect to dedicated circuit that is separately electrically
protected. This helps minimise interference (EMI) on alarm interconnect line from
CFL's,dimmers, LV transformers etc.
Only interconnect to the identical brand of smoke/heat or C.O. alarm. Do not connect
to any other brand of alarm/auxilary device unless approved by Kidde.
The Earth terminal is provided to facilltate wiring termination of the Earth wire,which
plays no part in the safety protection of the alarm.
• When testing the alarm, stand back so your hearing is not damaged by the 85dB
sounder.
In new build or refurb projects, protect the alarm with a dust cap to prevent insects
or dust contamination by following trades. The property owner or other responsible
person must be advised to remove them for the alarms to operate correctly. (Ideally,
fit alarms at latest stage possible onto pre-installed mounting base.)
Danger – electrical shock hazard!
Never restore power supply until all alarms are completely installed.
Doing so before hand can cause serious injury.
Do not install in a dripping, water splashing, very humid area.
WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave
or modified sine wave inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived
power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will damage
the alarm.
2. Recommended Locations for Smoke/Heat Alarms
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms. Try to protect the exit path
as the sleeping rooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists,
locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
• Locate additional alarms to protect any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and
heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
• Locate an alarm in every sleeping room.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters
or humidifiers).
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The closed door
may prevent the alarm from waking the sleeper.
• Smoke, heat and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the
smoke alarm on the ceiling in the centre of the room places it closest to all points in the room.
Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 30cm (12”) from the side wall
and 60.96cm (2 feet) from any inside corner (see DIAGRAM A).

Do NOT subject the alarm circuit to insulation resistance testing with the alarm
base units connected. Failing to do so will cause damage outside the terms of
the guarantee provisions.
1385-7206-00_R3_V9:- 2011.3.14 5:28 PM Page 2
• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the detection element a minimum of 15cm (6”) and a maximum of 30cm (12”) below the ceiling, and at least 61cm
(2 feet) from any inside corner (see DIAGRAM A).
• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 0.9m (3ft) of the
highest point (measured horizontally). Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than
0.3m in 2.4m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room. A row
of detectors shall be spaced and located within 0.9m (3ft) of the peak of the ceiling measured
horizontally.(see DIAGRAM "C")
• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the hallway or room is
more than 9.1m (30 feet) long.
• In homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be transferred from the outside
to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which
can prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. If you are not sure
about the insulation in your home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either
hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. In such homes, install the smoke alarm with the
top edge of the alarm at 15cm (6”) and a maximum of 30cm (12”) below the ceiling,
• Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on the highest portion of the
ceiling or on the sloped portion of the ceiling within 30cm (12”) vertically down from the
highest point (see DIAGRAM "D").
