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:
1SF23/9HI, 1SF23/9HIR, 2SF23/9HI, 2SF23/9HIR, 3SF23/9HI,
3SF23/9HIR,

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.
Connect to dedicated circuit
that is separately electrically protected. This type is the
minimum grade acceptable for new or materially altered dwellings.
Grade ‘E’ – AC only:
Connect to dedicated spur on the Consumer Unit.
This alarm type has no secondary power source.
* Only smoke or heat alarms must be connected on this circuit.
• Only interconnect to the identical brand of smoke/heat or C.O. alarm. Do not connect
to any other brand of alarm/auxilary device.
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.
2. Recommended Locations for Smoke/Heat Alarms
• Ideally locate near centre of room on ceiling. Ideally locate near centre of room on
ceiling, and 300mm away from any wall, also see Locations to Avoid.
†
See Section 3
2
The 17th Edition (2008) of the Wiring Regulations requires that circuits of safety services
be independent of other circuits (560.7.1 ). This would include Smoke, CO & Heat Alarms.
Do not
Meggar Test
the alarm circuit without disconnecting the alarm. Failure to
do so will cause the alarms to fail and be outside of the guarantee provisions.

3. Locations to be Avoided
(Smoke Alarms)
Do not site within 3m of a steam source e.g. kitchen/bath room or garage.
Any location where the free flow of smoke to the alarm could be interrupted (e.g.
next/above a door/air vent/heater/air-con unit).
(Smoke & Heat Alarms)
Do not site within 1m of dimmer control cabling or wire alarm into any such cabling.
Do not site adjacent to any heat source.
Do not site within 300mm from any wall.
Do not site near fluorescent lights; electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.
In locations where temperature may fall below 5°C (41°F), or above 40°C (104°F),
such as garages and unfinished attics.
In very dusty/dirty/insect laden areas.
Areas where routine maintenance or operating hush/test button is difficult
(e.g. top of stairwells).
Siting should be in accordance with the current Building Regulations and/or BS5839
Pt6/current I.E.E. Regulations.
Caution: Alarm should not be exposed to dripping or splashing
