Instructions for Installation

Smoke detector plus / VdS 02/02 Seite: 2 von 6

Choice of location

The minimum protection is one smoke detector on every

floor (hall or landing area) and in every child’s bedroom.

It is better, however, to have a smoke detector in every

room, apart from the kitchen and bathroom, where steam

can cause false alarms.

Fig.1

Fig.2

The smoke detector must be fixed to the ceiling as near to the

centre of the room as possible. One detector can monitor a room

with a maximum floor area of 60 m² with a ceiling height of up to

6 m. In hallways and narrow corridors (up to 3 m wide) the

detector monitors a distance of up to 7.5 m in each direction. A

gap of at least 0.5 m must be maintained from walls and fixtures.

You should therefore install:

• as an absolute necessity one smoke detector in the hallway

(to monitor the escape route) between living and sleeping

areas

• for optimum protection one detector in every living room and

every bedroom

• in multistorey buildings at least one detector on each landing

• in converted lofts one detector above the staircase

Installation on the ceilings of boat cabins or caravans is also

possible. When travelling, simply take the smoke detector with

you into your hotel room.

Unsuitable locations

Never install the smoke detector

• near to ventilation ducting or strong draughts

• directly in the apex of pitched roofs (a minimum distance of 30 cm from the apex must be

maintained)

• in rooms where there is a lot of steam, dust or smoke under normal conditions (workshops,

bathrooms, laundry rooms, for example)

• in rooms where the temperature rises above +40 °C or falls below +5 °C

• in the vicinity of fluorescent luminaires.

Installation and putting into service

Fig.3

The home smoke detector is installed as follows:

• Remove the smoke detector from its base by turning it

anticlockwise.

• Screw the base to the ceiling using the fixing materials

provided (see Fig. 3 for dimensions).

•

ttach the 9 V rectangular battery to the connector and insert

it into the battery holder (1).

• Insert the smoke detector into the base, without using force,

and turn it gently clockwise until it clicks into place.

Note: If no battery is fitted, the smoke detector will not click

into place!

• Finally verify the good working order of the smoke detector

by pressing ist test button.

Where should I place my smoke detector? Verified

This depends on the situation, but in a home it is best to place at least one smoke detector on every floor. Try to place them in hallways or other spaces that connect different rooms and never place the smoke detector directly next to a kitchen or bathroom. Also keep at least 30 centimeters of space between a smoke detector and a lamp.

Can I use candles if I have a smoke detector? Verified

This partially depends on the sensitivity of the smoke detector. In many cases a candle can be used as long as it is not placed in direct proximity of the smoke detector. When blowing out the candles, smoke can be generated that might trigger the smoke detector.
