Alecto SA-210 Mode D'emploi page 11

The SA-210 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the
EN
first stage. If smoke develops, the SA-210 will give a loud beep
of at least 85dB (A). We advice to test the smoke detectors
weekly using the test button on the detectors. Save this manual in a
safe place or inside of the electricity meter cupboard.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS FOR THE SA-210:
Install the first smoke detector near the bedroom. Ensure that it is placed so, if
•
it would detect fire, at least one exit route would still be accessible. We recom-
mend to place one alarm near each potential blockade of your exit route, so you
are alerted before a fire would block off escape.
• Use multiple smoke detectors to increase safety and ensure an alert before the
escape route is blocked.
Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your house.
•
• Install at least one smoke detector in each room where people smoke or where
there is equipment that may potentially cause a fire.
Smoke and heat will first move upwards towards the ceiling; after that the
•
smoke and heat will travel horizontally.
• Install the detector on the ceiling. Except for rooms smaller than 1m, you should
stay at least 50 cm away from the wall and 60cm from any corner. Smoke and
heat do not gather in such corners, preventing the detector from alerting you on
time.
DO NOT INSTALL IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
• The kitchen; Steam from cooking might give a false alarm.
• The shower or bathroom; water damp might cause a false alarm and the
moist environment might damage the detector.
• The garage: The car exhaust might cause a false alarm.
• In front of a fan or nearby the exhaust of an air conditioner or heater.
• In a ceiling nook.
• In rooms where the temperature could reach below 0°C or beyond 40°C.
• Do not paint or otherwise cover this smoke detector.
