Fire safety

Preventative measures:

• Store any matches and lighters in alocked room out of children’sreach.

• Never empty theashes from ash trays, stoves and grills into waste bins

until theashes have completely cooled. Itis advisable to let them cool

overnight before disposing ofthem. Sootand ashes from stoves and

fireplaces should be collected in metal buckets fitted withlids. Always

place receptacles holding hot ashes on afireproof surface.

• Never leave naked flames such as candles unattended. Onlyuse non-

flammable candle holders and candlesticks.

• Make sure that no sparks can escape from your wood-burning stove or

fireplace and ensure that thefire has died before going tobed.

• Do not store or handle combustible liquids/substances close to sources

ofheat.

• Replace any faulty electrical plug or wiring. Makesure that thecorrect type

of fuses and circuit breakers are used in your consumerunit.

• Remember to switch off your TV, computer and other appliances using

thepower switch. Remote controls don’t switch appliances off completely.

• Do not place combustible materials and objects next to electrical heating

appliances. Avoidcontrolling electrical heaters with timers or any kind of

remote control device. Bearin mind that acombustible material might

have been placed on or next to anelectrical heating appliance while it

was switched off without your knowledge.

• It is important that chimneys and flues are cleaned regularly to prevent

chimneyfires.

• Further information about fire safety in thehome can be obtained from

theDepartment for Communities and Local Governmenthttps://www.

gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-

and-local-government if you should need tips and advice about how to

protect your home and family fromfire.

Fire safety checks:

• Check thecondition of your fire extinguishers and make sure that

everyone in your household knows how to usethem.

• Draw up asafe plan of escape from your premises in case of

emergency. Makesure that there are alternative escape routes, such as

windows. Make sure that there is aladder or rope as analternative in case

stairs are blocked.

• Practise your escape plan to make sure that itworks. Decide upon

anassembly point to gather in anemergency.

• Keep bedroom doors closed during thenight. Aclosed door can

keep thefire at bay long enough for you to make your escape through

awindow.

If afire breaksout:

• If afire alarm goes off, keep calm but act quickly.

• Wake everyone up and make sure that they leave thebuilding according

to your escapeplan. Follow your escapeplan.

• Carefully feel doors with theback of your hand before opening them – if

they are hot, don’t openthem. Tryto find analternative escaperoute. Ifyou

have to escape through smoke, crawl on your hands and knees under

thesmoke. Don’t waste time rescuing valuables.

• If possible, close doors and windows to contain theblaze.

• If thefire is small try to extinguish/contain it with awater hose, fire

extinguisher or fire blanket. Firstmake sure that you have ameans of

escape before tackling thefire. Getout as quickly as possible if you

realise that you can’t extinguish thefire.

• Call 999 as soon as you are free of thebuilding, call from aneighbour’s

house if you don’t have aphone.

• Make sure that no-one re-enters thebuilding, wait for thefire brigade.

Positioning thesmokealarm

• Smoke alarms should be positioned in themiddle of theceiling of

aroom at thehighest point, or at thehighest point of thehallway,

staircase or landing. Smokeand fumes will rise, accumulate on

theceiling and enter thesmoke alarm from thetop.

• All bedrooms, corridors/escape routes should be equipped with smoke

alarms. Other rooms should also be equipped for comprehensive

protection.

• Corridors up to 3 m wide: The first smoke alarm should be placed at a

max distance of 7.5 m from the end of the corridor. The max distance

between two smoke alarms should be 15 m.

• Corridors less than 1 m wide: The first smoke alarm should be placed at

a max distance of 7.5 m from the end of the corridor. Thesmoke alarm

should be mounted in the middle of the ceiling. In these cases, the rule of

keeping a 0.5 m distance to a wall cannot be met.

• Exterior corridors and similar: If the total length and width exceed 16m², an

extra smoke alarm should be mounted in the highest-lying area.

• Themore smoke alarms you have – thesafer you’llbe. Makesure that

you can hear thesmoke alarms from your bedroom.

• Smoke alarms should normally not be more than 10–12 mapart.

Themaximum floor space area that one smoke alarm can protect is 60 m².

• Don’t put alarms in or near kitchens or garages where smoke or exhaust

fumes can set them off by accident. Neither is it advisable to fit smoke

alarms in humid rooms or close tofans. Notin agricultural buildings either.

• Themajority of household fires start in thekitchen. Asmoke alarm

should therefore be placed in theroom next to thekitchen to provide as

early as warning as possible.

• Factors which can increase theneed for having asmoke alarmare:

Closed doors, different ceiling heights, long distances or other obstacles

that might prevent or delay smoke from reaching thesmokealarm.

• The smoke alarm must be mounted in a safe manner to ensure that it does

not fall and cause injury to someone. It may be difficult to mount the smoke

alarm to plasterboard ceilings or similar types of ceilings.

• The battery must not be subjected to fire, direct sunlight or high temperatures.

• Note: Thesmoke alarm must not be paintedover.

Things to consider:

• Other wireless equipment using the same frequency band can reduce

the transmission range.

• The range of all wireless equipment depends on the type of obstacles

located between the transmitter and the receiver (e.g. aconcrete wall will

interfere with the signal more than aplasterboard wall).

If you experience problems, try the following:

• Turn off any other existing wireless equipment to check whether this is

the cause of the problem.

• Reposition the wireless equipment, shorten the distance between the

transmitter and the receiver or reduce the number of obstacles (walls,

furniture, etc.) between them.

Installation

Note: It is a good idea to arrange the smoke alarms in their intended

locations and interconnect them before mounting them on the ceiling. That

way you can make sure that the construction of the building permits the

interconnection of the smoke alarms in those locations.

2. Press the test button of the master unit. After 2 seconds the LED under

the button will flash. The master unit is now in interconnecting mode and

ready to interconnect additional smoke alarms.

3. Press the test button of all the additional smoke alarms which you want

to connect (e.g. the first, second, third slave units) 5 times within 3

seconds. The LEDs will shine steadily for few seconds and then start

flashing for a few seconds. The flashing indicates that interconnection is

in progress.

When the smoke alarms are interconnected the LEDs will shine

constantly (a little less brightly than before). Press the test button of each

of the slave units once to confirm that they are interconnected.

The master unit will remain in interconnection mode for approximately

30 seconds. Step 3 can be repeated to interconnect additional slave

units. If you do not interconnect all the slave units within 30 seconds,

press the master unit again once.

Note: Those slave units that were interconnected during the first minute

will beep and flash quickly when you interconnect additional slave units

during the following minutes. The same beep and flashing will even

occur if additional smoke alarms are connected later.

The LEDs on the smoke alarms can flash every 12 seconds once they

have been interconnected. After 10 minutes the smoke alarms will enter

normal mode and the LEDs will flash every 40 seconds.

Function test

Hold down the test button of any one of the smoke alarms until the alarm

emits 3 short beeps. This means that it is okay.

Note: Depending how long the test button is held down, other

interconnected smoke alarms may also beep for about 30 seconds.

Interconnecting test

Can be applied in two ways:

1. Press the test button of the master unit once. The slave units will flash

and beep to confirm the interconnection. The master unit will be flashing

during interconnection but not beep.

2. Press quickly 3 times within 3 seconds on an optional smoke alarm.

The slave units and the master unit will flash and beep to indicate the

interconnection.

Note: The wireless communication can be affected by a number of factors.

Remember to test the smoke alarms every week to make sure that they are

connected and working as intended.

Deleting an interconnected alarm

1. Hold in the test button of the alarm that you wish to delete/disconnect

for 16 seconds (the alarm will emit 3 short quiet beeps at regular

intervals during these seconds) until the LED starts flashing quickly.

Release the test button immediately. The LED will shine steadily.

2. Press the test button twice. The alarm will beep to indicate that the

connection has been deleted.

False alarms

In certain circumstances your smoke alarm might be triggered by other

causes than smoke or rising temperature:

• Steam and humidity: Make sure that the smoke alarm is placed at

least 2m from areas of possible high humidity such as bathrooms and

laundry rooms.

• Dust: Vacuum clean the smoke alarm regularly, especially if it has been

installed in a dusty environment. Be careful not to damage the smoke

alarm while vacuuming it.

• Draughts and air currents: Do not install the smoke alarm where it is

exposed to draughts from windows, doors, fresh air vents, ceiling fans

or any other air currents.

• Rapid changes in temperature: Rapid changes in temperature can

cause condensation to form inside the smoke alarm. Do not install the

alarm close to doors or windows which are opened frequently. Make

sure that the alarm is located where the temperature is as constant as

possible.

False alarms can be caused by a number of reasons. If possible try to

install the smoke alarm:

• At least 5m from fuel-burning heat sources such as fireplaces and

wood-burning stoves as well as from other sources of heat.

• 2m from heat pumps and air conditioning units.

• 1m from lamps and fluorescent lights.

Pause function

The pause function enables you to temporarily switch off the sound of the

alarm in the case of a false/unwanted alarm (when cooking, smoking, etc.).

The pause function is activated by pressing in the test button of the alarm

which sounds once. The LED will flash every 8 seconds. The sound of the

alarm is then muted for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the alarm returns to

normal mode.

Care and maintenance

• Asmoke alarm which is dirty on theinside is more sensitive and often

goes off without reason.

• Theoutside of thesmoke alarm should be wiped clean with adamp

cloth and vacuumed carefully with asoft brush nozzle.

• Clean the smoke alarm by vacuuming it at least once a year. Testthe smoke

alarm according to the instructions in the owner’s manual. Check that all

the inlets are unblocked and that the smoke alarm is not damaged in any

way. A damaged smoke alarm must be replaced.

Changing the batteries

The number of times the batteries need to be changed depends upon a

number of factors. Ideally, the batteries should be changed routinely every

year on a fixed date. Alternatively you can choose to change the batteries

when the smoke alarm indicates that they are nearly depleted (short beep

every 40 seconds).

1. Remove the smoke alarm from the baseplate by turning it anti-clockwise.

2. Remove the old batteries.

3. Insert new batteries. Follow the markings in the battery compartment to

ensure correct polarity.

4. Hold the smoke alarm against the baseplate and twist it clockwise until

it clicks into place.

5. The interconnection is retained when the batteries are replaced. In case

you should discover after replacing the batteries and an operation test

that the interconnection has been deleted, carry out the interconnection

again as instructed in section Interconnecting the alarms.
