3. For best protection, smoke alarms should be installed in every room in your home, apart from

those listed in the 'LOCATIONS TO AVOID' section. Heat alarms should be used in kitchens,

boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages and such like where smoke alarms would be unsuitable.

All alarms must be interconnected.

4. Install smoke alarms in circulation areas at a distance no greater than 7.5m from the farthest

wall, no greater than 7.5m from a door to any room in which a fire might start, no greater than

7.5m from the next smoke alarm and no greater than 3m from bed.

5. When heat alarms are installed in a room, they should be at a distance no greater than 5.3m

from the farthest wall no greater that 5.3m from a door to any room in which a fire might start

and no greater than 5.3m from the next heat or smoke alarm.

6. As it is Impossible to predict the source of a fire the best location for an alarm is the centre of

the room or hallway. If it is necessary to locate the smoke alarm on a wall always locate the

detection element of the alarm 150mm to 300mm (6 to 12 inches) below the ceiling and the

bottom of the alarm above the level of doors and other openings.

NOTE: Heat alarms should not be wall mounted.

7. In rooms with simple sloped, peaked or gabled ceilings install smoke alarms 900mm (3 feet)

from the highest point of the ceiling. 'Dead air' at the peak of the ceiling may prevent smoke

from reaching the alarm in time to provide an early warning.

8. Closed doors and other obstructions will interfere with the path of smoke and heat to an alarm

and may prevent occupants from hearing an alarm on the other side of a closed door. Install

sufficient alarms to compensate for closed doors and other obstacles.

9. Your local fire brigade or insurance company may be able to give you further advice. Call them

and ask. Further help and information may also be found in BS5839 Part 6 and the Fire Safety

guidance given by the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR).

CAUTION: Research indicates that substantial increases in warning time can be obtained with

each properly installed additional alarm, It is strongly recommended that the advice above be

followed to ensure maximum protection.

IMPORTANT: These smoke and heat alarms are intended primarily for use in single-family

occupancy private dwellings. For use in other applications the manufacturers advice should be

sought.

LOCATIONS TO AVOID

DO NOT locate alarms: -

1. In turbulent air from fans, heaters, doors, windows, etc.

2. In high humidity areas such as bathrooms and shower rooms or where the temperature

exceeds 39ºC (100ºF) or falls below 5ºC (40ºF)

3. At the peak of an 'A' frame ceiling – dead air at the top may prevent smoke and heat from

reaching the alarm to provide an early warning.

4. Less than 300mm (12 inches) from a wall when mounted on the ceiling.

5. In insect infested areas. Tiny insects may affect performance.

6. (Smoke alarms) in poorly ventilated kitchen or garage. Combustion particles from cooking or

car exhaust could trigger a nuisance alarm

7. In very dusty or dirty areas – dirt and excessive dust can impair the performance of the alarm.

8. Within 300mm (12 inches) of a light fitting or room corners.

9. In locations that would make routine testing or maintenance hazardous. (e.g. over a stairwell).

10. On poorly insulated walls or ceilings.

11. Near objects such as ceiling decorations that might impede the path of smoke or heat to the

alarm.

12. Within 1500mm (5 feet) of a fluorescent light fitting and keep wiring at least 1000mm (39

inches) from these fittings. Do not install alarms on circuits containing fluorescent light

fittings or dimmer switches.

Further help and information may be found in BS5839 Part 6

D: USER INFORMATION

Features

• Operating Lights – A continuous green light indicates the alarm is receiving mains power. The

red light doubles as an alarm source indicator and flashes approximately every 45 seconds to

confirm circuitry integrity.

• Alarm Source Indicator – Red light will flash every second in the unit originating the alarm. Red

lights on other alarms flash every 45 seconds.

• Alarm Pause (670 range only) – Silence your smoke alarm by momentarily pressing the test

button. Ideal when non-emergency smoke (e.g. cooking fumes) cause nuisance alarms. Red

light flashes every ten seconds to remind you that the alarm has been silenced. Double beep

indicates that the alarm has automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes.

• The 370MBX has a separate alarm pause button. The alarm beeps every 45 seconds for 10

minutes when in pause.

Be Prepared

Smoke and heat alarms properly installed and maintained are an essential part of a good home fire

safety programme. Review fire hazards and eliminate dangerous conditions wherever possible.

When fire strikes a prepared and practiced escape plan could prove vital. Your local fire brigade

may be willing to advise you. Call them and ask. Consider and discuss the following safety hints:

• Ensure everyone is familiarized with the alarm signal.

• Always test doors with your hands before flinging them open. If they feel warm, fire may be

walled up behind them – leave closed and find another escape route.

• Don't waste time collecting possessions. Rouse all occupants and leave the building; your life is

more valuable.

• GET OUT, STAY OUT, GET THE FIRE BRIGADE OUT!

• Keep everyone in a set meeting place after your escape.

• If trapped inside, stay close to the floor, cover your mouth with cloth and conserve breath while

you crawl to safety.

• Keep all windows and doors closed except for escape purposes.

• Prepare and practice an escape plan before a fire starts.

Draw a floor plan. Have fire drills often. Practise your escape.

Simple Maintenance

Vacuum every six months to keep unit working efficiently by firstly turning off the mains electricity

supply and vacuuming through the vents using a soft brush attachment. Keep the nozzle from

touching the unit. SWITCH POWER BACK ON WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED.

Test the alarm once a week by: -

• Checking that the green light is on and that the red light is flashing every 45 seconds or so. The

lights are located behind the grille on the front of the alarm.

• Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds. NOTE: Pressing this button on alarms in

the 670 series also places the alarm in pause mode.
