1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND FUNCTION
The smoke detector can detect incipient low temperature fires and open fires with smoke
development and can be installed in any room. The smoke detector operates by the optical
principle. There are no radioactive substances in this detector.
The smoke detector incorporates the following features:
• It monitors rooms for the development of smoke.
• It has an integrated signal transmitter.
• Your Marmitek Alarm System dials out, even if your security system is not armed.

2 APPLICATION

The radio smoke detector is intended for the detection of smoke in interiors by the use of
optical and acoustic warnings, as well as wireless transmission over distances of up to 30
meters. In combination with the HomeGuard MS8000 the range is up to 10 meters. Range may
vary due to battery and temperature conditions. The SD90 smoke detector does not sense gas, heat or
smokeless flames! The equipment may not be modified under any circumstances.

3 POSITIONING

It is advisable to install several smoke detectors in your home. At least one smoke detector should be installed
on each floor. This ensures that an effective warning is possible when a fire starts. One smoke detector must
be installed in the area outside the bedroom which is used as the exit (corridor and/or staircase).
Also ensure that you install the smoke detector at a location where it can be easily heard, even
through the closed door of the bedroom! (Otherwise you will not wake up during a fire alarm!)
Recommended best and acceptable locations to mount smoke detectors (figure A):
The smoke detector should be installed on the ceiling in the centre of the room. Smoke rises
and gathers in this area (figure B) and placing the smoke alarm here guarantees the earliest
possible alarm warning. For sloping roofs, the smoke alarm should be installed about 1 meter
from the highest point, as displayed in figure C.
Smoke detectors can be installed in all rooms, but not in the bathroom or directly above the
cooking area in the kitchen.
Ensure that the smoke detector is not installed directly on or near large metal objects as they
can affect the radio range.
Before installing the SD90 smoke detector on your ceiling or the wall, ensure that the SD90 is
within range of your Marmitek security system. You can test this by pushing the test button of
