Model FP301

Photoelectric smoke alarms are designed to detect visible particles

(associated with slow smouldering fires). Home fires develop in different

ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection against fast

flaming fires and slow smouldering fires, both ionisation and photoelectric

alarms should be installed.

Installation Instructions

By law at least one smoke alarm must be installed on

each level of your home (Figure 1B).

Recommended ocations

• n every room where someone sleeps with the door

closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm located

outside from waking the sleeper.

• n the immediate area of bedrooms and the exit path

from all sleeping areas (Figure 1A).

• n stairways, as stairways act like chimneys for smoke

and heat.

• n any room where large electrical appliances are

operated (e.g., portable heaters or humidifiers).

• f a hallway or room is more than 9.1m long put alarms

at both ends.

• For maximum household protection see Figure 1C.

Things to Consider:

For Ceiling Mounting:

Smoke from a fire will rise to the ceiling and spread

horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm in the centre of

the ceiling places it closest to all points in the room.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a

minimum of 30cm from the side wall (Figure 2A).

• For sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings the alarm

should be placed between 500mm and 1500mm from

the highest point of the ceiling (Figure 2B).

• Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than

1m in 8m horizontally, should be located on the high

side of the room (Figure 2B).

For Wall Mounting:

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an interior

wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of

10cm and a maximum of 30cm below the ceiling

(Figure 2A).

Installation

Mobile Home Inst ll tion:

For Well nsulated Mobile Homes

nstall smoke alarms as recommended on the previous

pages.

n mobile 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.

For Poorly nsulated Mobile Homes

nstall the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top

edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10cm and a maximum

of 30cm below the ceiling (Figure 2A).

For minimum protection, install at least one alarm close

to the bedrooms. For additional protection, see Figure

1A.

Installation

To minimise nuisance alarms avoid these locations:

• Do not install within 0.9m of the following: The door to

a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower,

forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling,

ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high

air-flow areas.

• Areas where curtains or other objects will block the

sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the sensor to

accurately detect conditions.

• nstall at least 30cm away from fluorescent lights.

• Keep out of insect infested areas.

• Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder

than 0°C or hotter than 40°C.

• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH)

is greater than 93%.

• f a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm

silencer feature or be a photoelectric type.

• Do not place in the garage.

• Avoid dead air spaces such as the peak of an “A”

frame ceiling. “Dead Air” at the top may prevent smoke

from reaching the alarm in time to provide early

warning. Refer to Figure 2A and 2B.

N.B. - Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector

guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has

been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Mounting

CAUTION:

This unit is sealed. The cover is not

removable!

• Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm

by holding the plate and twisting the alarm

clockwise. As indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the

alarm cover.

• Hold the mounting plate against the selected

installation location (wall or ceiling) and mark the

centre of the holes with a pencil. To ensure aesthetic

alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or wall, the “A”

line on the mounting plate should be parallel with the

hallway when ceiling mounted, or horizontal when wall

mounted (Figure 3A and 3B).

• Drill a hole through the pencil marks and use the

enclosed screws and anchors to secure the mounting

plate. Use a 3/16 inch drill bit to screw the anchor

holes.

• Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery

compartment while inserting the battery (Figure 3E).

WARNING:Please ensure batteries are inserted

correctly with positive and negative terminals connected

to the corresponding point on the smoke alarm.

CAUTION: f the battery reminder tab is not held

down in the battery compartment by the battery, the unit

will not attach to the mounting plate.

Place the alarm onto the mounting plate, making sure

the alignment marks are lined up. Twist the alarm

anti-clockwise in the direction indicated by the “ON”

arrow on the alarm cover (Figure 3D) until it locks in

place.

Alarm Tamper-Resist Feature

• A tamper resist feature has been provided. To activate

this feature you must break out the tamper-resist

blocks on the mounting plate (Figure 4A). Use a small

screwdriver.

• Using this feature will deter children and others from

removing the alarm from the mounting plate.

• The tamper-resist tab will have to be released in order

to change the battery. Using a tool (small screwdriver)

push the tab away from the mounting plate (Figure 4B)

and rotate the alarm clockwise in the “OFF” direction.

• After installation, test the alarm by depressing and

holding down the Test/Hush button for several

seconds. This should sound the alarm.
