time) will silence the Alarm for 8 hours –

however it will give two short beeps (second

apart) every 10 minutes to remind the user it

has been disabled. If the contamination clears

the Alarm will return to normal operation.

(Note: this does not reduce the users fire

protection, as a Smoke Alarm in continuous

alarm due to a fault, is useless and must be

silenced – by taking the Alarm down or as

described here. This procedure has the added

benefits that the user is reminded every 10

minutes by two short beeps that the Alarm

needs to be replaced and that if the problem

clears the Alarm will return to detecting fire).

1.2.3. Faulty smoke chamber

In the unlikely event of the smoke sensing

chamber becoming defective, the Alarm will

give 2 short beeps with 2 yellow LED flashes

every 48 seconds. The Alarm must then be

replaced.

If it is not convenient to replace it immediately,

pressing the test button will silence the beeps

and stop the yellow LED flashing for 12 hours.

This can be repeated as required.

2. Location and Positioning

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a Smoke

Alarm. You can easily install these Alarms

throughout the property on escape routes, on

each storey, in corridors and in closed rooms to

give warning of fire.

Heat Alarms can be installed in kitchens

and other areas where Smoke Alarms are

unsuitable.

IMPORTANT!

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm

installation vary from state to state and from

region to region. Check with your local Fire

Department for current requirements in your

area.

SMOKE ALARMS

Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm

before it will respond. Your Smoke Alarm needs

to be within 7.5 metres of the fire to respond

quickly. Smoke Alarms also need to be in

positions where they can be heard throughout

the property, so they can wake you and your

family in time for everyone to escape. A single

Smoke Alarm will give some protection if it is

properly installed, but most homes will require

two or more (preferably interconnected) to

ensure that a reliable early warning is given.

For recommended protection you should put

individual Smoke Alarms in all rooms where

fire is most likely to break out (apart from the

kitchen and bathroom).

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located

between the sleeping area and the most likely

sources of fire (living room for example), but it

should not be more than 7.5 metres from the

door to any room where a fire may start and

block your escape from the house.

Multi-Storey Dwellings

If your home has more than one floor, at least

one Alarm should be fitted on each level (see

Figure 1). Preferably the Alarms should be

interconnected (if feature is present on unit)

so as to give sufficient warning throughout

the property.

Figure 1 illustrates where Smoke and Heat

Alarms should be located in a typical two

storey house. Note the spacings in "Protection

Levels" which ensure the early detection of fire

and that the warning will be heard.

Locate Heat Alarms in rooms adjoining escape

routes - kitchens, garages, boiler houses etc.

where Smoke Alarms are unsuitable.

Figure 1

For minimum protection

- Smoke Alarm on each storey

- in each sleeping area

- every 7.5 metres of hallways and rooms

- within 3 metres of all bedroom doors

- all units interconnected (where feature is

present)

For recommended protection

(in addition to the above):

- Smoke Alarms in every room (except

kitchens and bathrooms)

- Heat Alarms located in kitchens, garages

etc. within 5.3m of potential fire sources

Single Storey Dwelling

If the premises is one storey you should put

your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor or hallway

between the sleeping and living areas. Place it

as near to the living area as possible, but make

sure that it can be heard loudly enough in the

bedroom to wake someone. See Figure 2 for

placement example.

In houses with more than one sleeping area,

Smoke Alarms should be placed between each

sleeping area and the living area and it is

recommended that Heat Alarms should be

placed in the kitchen and garage.
