SMOKE ALARM USER MANUAL
DESCRIPTION
The unit is a photoelectric smoke alarm device. It is particularly sensitive for detecting visible
micro-particles (associated with smoldering fires) and reacts faster than ionization alarms.
An example of such smoldering fires is a cigarette burning in a couch or bedding, a common cause
of devastating blazes.
Please note this device does not detect flames, heat, carbon monoxide or other hazardous gases.
It has many advanced features and an extended operational life with the included battery.

LOCATION OF SMOKE ALARMS
For maximum protection smoke alarms should be installed in
every room (except areas described in the previous section
‘Locations to Avoid’) to ensure people in the home will be able to hear
and respond to the alarm. At the very least install one smoke alarm on
every floor.
If you suspect a household member may not hear this smoke alarm
i.e. outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage,
the hard of hearing, etc install and maintain a specialty smoke alarm
device.
NOTE: In Australia each state has a dierent legislation when it comes
to smoke alarms. Please visit the relevant authority in your state for
specific legislation requirements.
ASSEMBLY AND ACTIVATION
Assemble and secure the smoke alarm to the ceiling using the
supplied screws and mounting plate.
NOTE: Optional magnetic assembly system with secure 3M self
adhesive mounts are available.
Press test button and hold it for 3 seconds until LED lights, and release
it within 2 seconds, the unit will generate a ‘beep’ indicates the alarm
working.
Warning: This smoke alarm is not suitable for wall (vertical)
mounting.
LOCATIONS TO AVOID
1. Don’t place alarms in bathrooms, kitchens, garages or
other rooms where the Alarm may be triggered by steam,
condensation and normal smoke/heat from appliances.
2. In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near
dishwashers or washing machines, install at least 3m away from
these areas.
3. Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents, install
at least 1m away from these areas. The air could blow smoke away
from the detector, interrupting its alarm.
4. In rooms where the temperature may fall below 0°C or rise above
40°C (due to nuisance/false alarm activation).
5. In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas where
particles may interfere/obstruct with Alarm operation.
6. Away from air conditioning or ventilation grilles/louvers.

TYPICAL MULTISTORY OR SPLIT LEVEL HOME
For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed on the
ceiling of each bedroom, living area, and hallway. Where a hallway
is more than 10 meters long install a smoke alarm at each end. Also
install a smoke alarm above each staircase.
For minimum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed above
each staircase, including the basement.
POSITION OF SMOKE ALARMS
Smoke will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling so it’s
advisable to install the smoke alarm in the centre of the ceiling where
possible. Avoid areas where there is no circulation.
• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it a minimum of
30cm from the side wall.
• Install smoke alarm/s on slopped, peaked or cathedral ceilings
between 50cm and 250cm from the highest point of the ceiling.
TYPICAL SINGLESTORY HOME
For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed on the
ceiling of each bedroom, living area, and hallway. Where a hallway is
more than 10 meters long install a smoke alarm at each end. If there
is a basement install a smoke alarm on the basement ceiling at the
bottom of the stairwell.
Additionally, a smoke alarm should be installed in the hallway
between the living areas (incl. kitchen) and bedrooms. Place it as near
to the living areas as possible and ensure the smoke alarm is audible
when bedrooms are occupied.

OPERATION AND TESTING
Smoke alarms are an important safety device in the home. It is import-
ant to check them regularly to ensure they are operating correctly.
Regular Mode
When there is no smoke present, the red LED should flash every
48 seconds indicating the alarm is operating correctly.
Alarm Mode
When the alarm detects smoke, the red LED will flash once per
second and the alarm will sound loudly. The flashing LED and alarm
will continue until the air is cleared.
Fault Mode
The alarm will generate a ‘chirp’ every 48 seconds indicating a fault.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
It is recommended that you test your smoke alarm once a week to
ensure the smoke alarm is working correctly. Test by pushing the
test button on the cover. The alarm will sound if the alarm electronic
circuitry and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, the smoke alarm
has a defective battery, or another fault.
Warning: Do not use an open flame to test your alarm.
You could damage the alarm or ignite combustible
materials and start a structure fire.
LOW BATTERY POWER
Should your smoke alarm have a low battery the unit will emit an
audible ‘chirp’ once every 48 seconds and the red LED light flashes
once at the same time. When this occurs you must replace the alarm
immediately. Your smoke alarm will continue to warn of this low battery
for at least 30 days. However, failure to change the alarm after this time
would mean your smoke alarm may have insucient power to alert
you in a real fire situation.
NOTE: The battery in this unit is intended to last 10 years and cannot
be replaced.
Warning: Your smoke alarm requires the battery to have
sucient capacity of power to operate correctly.
SILENCE ALARM
If your smoke alarm emits the full alarm signal and you are not
testing the unit, the smoke alarm is warning you of a potentially
dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. Only use
the alarm silence function after making sure that there is no ongoing fire
emergency situation.
Do not block the vents on the alarm or disable the smoke alarm in
any way as this will remove your protection.
Smoke alarms can sometimes react to cooking fumes or other non
emergency situations. In the event of a known false alarm your smoke
alarm can be temporarily silenced by pressing the test button. Your
alarm will automatically return to full sensitivity within 8 minutes.
1. Press and release the silence button, the alarm sound will stop.
2. Your alarm will silence and enter into a reduced sensitivity
reset cycle for approximately 8 minutes.
3. During the reduced sensitivity reset cycle, the red LED will flash
every 8 seconds indicating it is running in silent mode.
4. Your alarm will automatically return to full sensitivity on
completion of the reset cycle and the red LED will revert to flashing
once every 48 seconds.
Warning: Never ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result
in injury or death. If your smoke alarm activates and you are not
absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out
of the house immediately.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Like other electrical accessories in the home, smoke alarms
require maintenance to ensure ecient and eective operation.
Proper maintenance can also reduce the likelihood of false alarms.
1. In addition to weekly testing, the alarm requires cleaning at least
once a month to remove dust, dirt, or debris.
2. Using a vacuum cleaner with the soft brush vacuum all sides and
cover of smoke alarm device.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove the cover to clean inside. This will
aect warranty.
Warning:
1. Photoelectric smoke detectors can reduce the likelihood of a
disaster, but they cannot guarantee a 100% safety.
2. To ensure your maximum security, please install all smoke
detectors exactly according to this manual.

test them at least once a week.
4. If they are not working properly replace them immediately.
