Functions and technical features | Emergency procedure when alarm sounds

Functions and technical features

• The smoke alarm does not detect gases, vapours, heat and fire/flames!
• It is possible that people with limited hearing may not hear the alarm!
For such cases special alarms with optical signalling are available.
• Especially high electromagnetic radiation may affect unit operation. Therefore, do
not install the alarm near devices which emit electromagnetic radiation or close
to magnets.
• This smoke alarm works according to the principles of optics (photoelectric
reflection) and contains a measuring chamber in which penetrating smoke
particles are measured.
• If the alarm threshold is exceeded, a loud, audible alarm will sound.
• The alarm will switch itself off as soon as the measuring chamber becomes
smokefree again.

Smoke alarms should be regarded as a minimum level of equipment
sleeping rooms, children's rooms and corridors or passages used as escape routes;
one alarm should be fitted in the centre of each room, always on the ceiling (no wall
mounting).
Select the highest point in the room for mounting, with a minimum distance of 50
cm from any wall, furniture or lamps. Your installation is optimised
installing the devices in all other rooms as well as on all landings. Please observe
the illustrations in this manual!
