Currently there are two kinds of smoke detectors available: the ionization alarm and the photoelectric smoke detector.
Although both alarm types are suitable for general home use, an ionization alarm will react to blazing fires more
quickly whereas the photoelectric detector is more sensitive to smouldering fire. Because of the fact that fires
develop in an unpredictable way and that it is impossible to predict their magnitude, it is not possible to tell which kind
of alarm system will give the earliest possible warning. That is why it is advisable to install both types to ensure the
best possible home security.

2. Security measures

• In certain situations, a smoke or fire detector will not provide protection against fire as defined in standard NFPA
74. For example:
when smoking in bed,
when children are in the house without supervision,
when cleaning with inflammable liquids (gasoline).

3. Installation and mounting

Your smoke alarm is designed for easy ceiling mounting. A complete installation kit is supplied with every smoke
alarm. First, hold the mounting brackets to the ceiling and mark the 2 drilling holes. Drill the holes and attach the
mounting brackets to the ceiling with the supplied screws.
For wooden panelling and wooden beams, use a 2.5mm drill and drill to a depth of only 20mm. Attach the support
with the supplied screws.
For concrete or brickwork, use a 5.5mm drill and drill to a depth of 25 – 30mm. Make sure that the plugs have a
secure grip in the drilling holes, should this not be the case, look for another drilling position or use other plugs.
Insert the battery and attach the alarm system to the brackets. The system is equipped with a safety which makes it
impossible to attach the alarm system to the bracket without the battery having been inserted first. When the alarm
does not fit into the brackets, make sure the battery is inserted correctly.
