Alecto SA-240 Mode D'emploi page 8

The SA-240 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the first stage. If smoke develops, the SA-240 will
EN
give a loud beep of at least 85dB (A). As part of the link function all the smoke alarms within range will sound
the alarm. 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-240:
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 recommend 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 61cm 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 -10°C or beyond 40°C.
• Do not paint or otherwise cover this smoke detector.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
Before installation, ensure all mains power has been disconnected. Once the installation is fully complete,
you may reconnect the 230V mains power.
Attach the ceiling plate using the included plugs and screws to the ceiling on a location of choice. Wall mounting
is not recommended for smoke detection. Remove the plastic foil from the backup battery and place it inside the
battery compartment, minding the polarity. Attach the detachable 230V connection cable to the cables leading to the
electricity meter of 230V , you may attach the white link cable to another cable to lead to the lead-cable of any other
SA-240 model to link both models. Do not attach this cable to the earthing cables.
ATTENTION. Do not switch the phase (brown) and 0-(blue) cables. The smoke detector will not function
correctly if you do this.
Now plug the 230V connection cable you installed into the SA-240. The connector only fits at one single angle. Then
place the detector on the ceiling plate and twist it into place. Now reconnect the power to mains. The green LED
should now light constantly. Perform a first test by holding the test key for two seconds. Also see the paragraph:
"Testing".
Brown - Connect to phase
White - Cable to connect to other smoke alarms of the same type (DO NOT
attach to any ground cable)
Blue - Connection to 0
LINKING SMOKE DETECTORS USING AN INTERCONNECT-CABLE
You can link smoke detectors of the same type with a cable. To link them, do not use the earthing cable, but ensure you
have an extra cable placed inside your ceiling for this purpose. Preferably use a (harmonized) wire with a diameter of
1,5 or 2,5 mm2 (H05V-U / H07V-U). Follow the same safety standards for this interconnection cable as you would for
installation of mains power cables. The interconnect-cable will lead a high voltage from one smoke alarm to the next. It
relays the signal by using the 0/neutral cable and the interconnect cable. If you switched the 0 and phase cables during
installation the detectors will sound the alarm constantly. By using this link function all devices will give alarm when
one device detects smoke. You can connect a maximum of 12 devices and link-operation is guaranteed as long as all
devices are connected to the same end-group and no switches are part of the same group.

To ensure you know the smoke detectors are inactive in case of power failure, ensure a vital part of your lighting is
attached to the same power group. Please view the BS EN 2555 for proper installation procedure.
USE, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:
Use: The smoke detectors is operational if the 230V mains power is connected, the 9V backup battery is placed
and the SA-240 is mounted to the ceiling. The SA-240 can only be attached to the ceiling plate if the backup battery
is placed. If the device is operational the green LED will continously light. The red LED will blink every 40 sec. to
indicate the backup battery is ok. Once smoke is detected, the alarm will sound. Once the smoke disappears, the
smoke alarm will stop automatically.
Test:
Hold the test key for at least 2 seconds. The operation is still correct if you hear 2 or three signal tones. Check the
smoke detectors weekly. In alarm status the smoke detector will generate about 85dB(A). Do not use candles, open
fire or cigarettes to test the smoke detector. Test the link-function by holding the test-button even longer. The other
detectors will now start beeping.
