Installation Instructions
2
By law at least one smoke alarm must be installed on
each level of your home ( Figure 1B).
Recommended Locations
•In every room where someone sleeps with the door
closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm located
outside from waking the sleeper.
•In the immediate area of bedrooms and the exit path
from all sleeping areas (Figure 1A).
•In stairways, as stairways act like chimneys for smoke
and heat.
•In any room where large electrical appliances are
operated (e.g., portable heaters or humidifiers).
•If a hallway or room is more than 9.1m
long, place
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 50cm from the side wall (Figure 2A).
•For sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings the alarm
should be placed between 500mm and 1000mm 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
10cm and a maximum of 30.5cm below the ceiling
wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of
(Figure 2A)

Installation
Do Not Install Smoke Alarm Devices In The Following Places:
1:Near appliances or areas where normal combustion
regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot water
heaters).
2:In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas
near dishwashers or washing machines. Install al least
3 meters away from these areas.
3:Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents.
Install at least 0.9 meter away from these areas. The air
could blow smoke away from the detector.
4:In rooms where temperatures may fall below 5℃ or rise
above 40℃, or in humidity higher than 85%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause an alarm fault.
5:In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect–infested areas.
These areas may affect smoke alarms device operation.
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.

this will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry, bracket
is mounted, horn, and battery are working. If no alarm
sounds, there is a defective battery or other failure, you
can refer to“Trouble shooting”section for solution.
DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could
damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and
start a fire.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness(85 decibels) of the alarm,
Always stand an arms-length away from the unit when
testing.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic
or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a
defective alarm, you can refer to “Trouble shooting”
section for solution.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.
LED indicators
Red LED-Flashing once every 40 seconds: indicates that

NOTE: When the units chirp once every 40 seconds, you can
press the test button temporarily for pausing this warning
tone for 10 hours，it can still normally detect smoke during
this period, it only removes nuisance warning tone. You can
refer to “Trouble shooting” for solution, if there are still
failures, you MUST replace it with a new alarm at once or contact
your retailer during warranty.
Alarm silence(silence mode)
The silent feature has the capability of temporarily
desensitising the alarm circuit for approximately 10 minutes.
The red LED will flash once every 8 seconds, it indicates the
smoke alarm device is running into the silence mode. Smoke
alarm devices are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.
Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if
the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large
quantities of combustible particles are generated from spills
or when grilling/ frying. Using the fan on a range hood that
vents to outside(non-recirculating type) will also help remove
these combustible particles from the kitchen.
The alarm silence (test button) is extremely useful in a
kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms.The
silence feature is to be used only when a known alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking activates the alarm.
The smoke alarm device is desensitised by pushing the alarm
silence(silence mode) on the smoke alarm device cover, the
alarm will silence to indicate that the alarm is in a temporarily
desensitised condition.
The smoke alarm device will automatically reset after
approximately10 minutes, if after this period, particles of
combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.
The alarm silencer (silence mode) can be used repeatedly.
CAUTION: Before using the alarm silence, identify
the source of the smoke and be certain a safe condition exists.
DANGER: If the alarm sounds, and it is not being tested,it
means the unit is sensing smoke,THE SOUND OF THE ALARM
REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.
