Unsuitable mounting locations for smoke alarms:
▪
Rooms with high humidity, e.g. in the bathroom
▪
Garages or kitchens. In the kitchen should be installed a smoke alarm should only if the distance to the
stove is at least 4m.
▪
Smoke detectors should not be installed near heating, heating, cooling and ventilation shafts.
▪
On ceiling beams that are lager than 0.2m
▪
Near open fires or fireplaces
▪
In very dusty rooms.
▪
On A-shaped roofs, the smoke detector must not be mounted at the highest point.
▪
Rooms which have a room temperature below 5°C or above 40°C.
▪
In caravans or rooms with a low ceiling height. Since the air heats up strongly in the upper area due to, for
example, intensive solar radiation in summer, the smoke is prevented from rising to trigger the alarm of the
smoke detector.
Information about the battery:
This smoke detector contains a non-replaceable lithium battery. Under normal conditions the battery has a lifetime
of approx. 10 years. When the battery is running low, a short warning tone sounds every 40 seconds for about 30
days and the LED flashes briefly. During this time the smoke alarm is still fully functional. However, it is strongly
recommended to replace the device immediately! After approx. 30 days the device is no longer functional and
switches off. Replace the device after an operating period of 10 years!
Note: The recurring warning sound can be muted for about 10 hours by pressing the TEST button. After 10 hours, a
short warning tone sounds again every 40 seconds.
