4. Alarm Limitations

Limitations of Smoke Alarms

While Smoke Alarms are extremely

effective, independent authorities have

stated that they may be ineffective in

some circumstances. There are a number

of reasons for this:

• Smoke Alarms will not work if the

batteries are depleted or if they are

not connected. Replace the batteries

if necessary. Also check the replace by

date on the side of the Alarm.

• Smoke Alarms will not detect fire if

sufficient smoke does not reach the

Alarm. Smoke may be prevented from

reaching the Alarm if the fire is too

far away, for example, if the fire is on

another floor, behind a closed door,

in a chimney, in a wall cavity, or if the

prevailing air draughts carry the smoke or

heat away. Installing Smoke Alarms on

both sides of closed doors and installing

more than one Alarm as recommended

in this leaflet very significantly improve

the probability of early detection.

• The Smoke Alarms may not be heard.

• A Smoke Alarm may not wake a person

who has taken drugs or alcohol.

• The Alarms may not detect every type

of fire to give sufficient early warning.

They are particularly ineffective with:

fires caused by smoking in bed, escaping

gas, violent explosions, poor storage

of flammable rags and/or liquids, (for

example petrol, paint, spirits etc),

overloaded electrical circuits, arson,

children playing with matches.

• Current studies have shown

smoke alarms may not awaken all

sleeping individuals, and that it is

the responsibility of individuals in the

household that are capable of assisting

others to provide assistance to those

who may not be awakened by the alarm

sound, or to those who may be incapable

of safely evacuating the area unassisted

Limitations of Heat Alarms

There are various situations where a Heat

Alarm may not be effective:

• Fires where the victim is intimate with a

flaming initiated fire; for example, when a

person's clothes catch fire while cooking.

• Fires where the heat is prevented from

reaching the Heat Alarm due to a closed

door or other obstruction.

• Incendiary fires where the fire grows

so rapidly that an occupant's egress is

blocked even with properly located Heat

Alarms

5. Getting Your Alarm Serviced

If your Alarm fails to work after you

have read the sections on "Installation",

"Testing, Maintenance and Power Supply

Monitoring", then contact Customer

Assistance at the nearest address given

at the end of this leaflet. If it needs to

be returned for repair or replacement

put it in a padded box with the battery

disconnected. Send it to "Customer

Assistance" at the nearest address given

on the Alarm or in this leaflet. State the

nature of the fault, where the Alarm was

purchased and the date of purchase.

6. Installation

Installation Procedure

1. Select a location complying with the

advice in Section 2.

2. Lift off the mounting plate from the

Smoke Alarm.

3. Place the mounting plate on the

ceiling exactly where you want to mount

the Alarm. With a pencil, mark the

location of the two screw holes.

4. Taking care to avoid any electrical

wiring in the ceiling, drill holes using a

5.0mm drill bit through the centre of the

marked locations. Push the plastic screw

anchors provided into the drilled holes.

Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling.

5. Insert the battery or batteries as per

the Quick Start Guide, ensuring the

orientation is correct. If the battery is

already installed in your Alarm just pull

the battery tab to power the Alarm.
