Ei Professional Smoke Alarms and Smoke Detectors

Battery Powered Smoke and Heat Alarms

Applications

Installation

For full Installation and Siting Instructions please refer to the Use and Care Manual

This Alarm is battery operated and needs no wiring, escept when interconnecting

Pull cover open at Tab. Remove cover from base by separating at rear snap-in hinges by rotating cover backwards

Place the base on ceiling or wall exactly where you want to mount the unit. With a pencil, mark the location of the screw holes

Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling or wall, drill a hole through the centres of the marked locations. Push the plastic screw anchors provided into the drilled holes. Screw in firmly

Gently push battery into battery holder. You may hear a loud chirp when attaching the battery connectors to the battery – this is normal

Trouble Shooting

Nuisance/False Alarms occur:

If, when the alarm goes off, there is no sign of smoke, heat or noise to indicate that there is a fire, you should get your family into a safe place, before you start investigating

Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire smouldering somewhere

Check whether there is some source of heat, smoke or fumes, for example steam from a kettle triggering a heat alarm or cooking fumes being drawn past a Smoke Alarm by an extractor

If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be necessary to re-locate the device away from the source of the fumes

Fanning vigorously with a newspaper or similar will help silence alarm
