excellent, particularly at night, as it rapidly identifies where the fire is located. This is ideal for larger systems as the dis- turbance in the house can be kept to a minimum e.g. no need to enter all the bedrooms to check to see if the red light is flashing rapidly. 3.

3.3 Recommended Protection For recommended protection you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all the rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid, mentioned below). The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, followed by the kitchen and then the dining room. You should also consider putting Smoke Alarms in any bedrooms where fires might occur, for instance, where there is an electrical appliance such as an electric blanket or heate

If there are frequent nuisance/false alarms it may be neces- sary to re-locate the device away from the source of the fumes. If you installed the smoke alarms as received and did not pro- gram them, you may be receiving an alarm signal from a neighbouring system. This can be easy rectified by house coding your alarms (see section 6.3). Pressing the test & hush button on the smoke alarm sensing fire (i.e. with the red light flashing rapidly) will silence the alarm for 10 minutes. (Pressing the hu

6.8 Automatic Self-Test The smoke chamber automatically tests itself every 40 sec- onds. If the chamber is degraded it will beep without the red light flashing at the same time. If this happens clean the unit. If the beeping persists and the beep does not coincide with an red light flash, return the unit for service (see Getting your Smoke Alarm Serviced ). 6.9 Dust & Insect Contamination All Smoke Alarms and particularly the optical (photoelectric) type are prone to dust and insect ingress whic

A maximum of 250 metres (820ft) of signal cable can be used, (maximum resistance between detectors 50 ohm). The units are interconnected by wiring all the terminals marked 1 together, and all the terminals marked 2 together (as in fig 8) before screwing the mounting plate to ceiling. Draughts, through the ceiling, from wiring openings, conduit, or mount- ing boxes/holes, may blow smoke away from the sensing chamber, making it insensitive. It is essential that all such openings including the wiri
