Alecto SA-300 Mode D'emploi page 11

The SA-300 is a smoke detector set for discovery of fire in the first stage. If
EN
smoke develops, the SA-300 will 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-300:
• 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.
