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 and no greater than 7.5m

from the next smoke alarm.

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.

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.

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.

MBX MODELS.

Change the battery with a new one when the alarm beeps every 45 seconds.

All MBX Models

Turn off the mains electricity supply, remove locking key, rotate the alarm approximately 10mm anti-

clockwise and remove the alarm from the ceiling. Unplug the alarm from the mains supply. Remove

the screw and prise open the battery compartment door on the back of the alarm to replace the battery

with one of the following: Duracell MN1604, MX1604, Eveready PP3B PP3S, 6LF22 Gold Peak

1604A, 1604S. Close the battery door refit the screw and re-assemble the alarm to the ceiling

ensuring that the mains plug is securely fitted. Test the alarm using the test button then turn on the

mains electricity supply. PLEASE NOTE: The alarm cannot be fitted to the baseplate without a battery

installed.

650MRL, 670MRL, 680MRL

Rechargeable Lithium batteries provide approximately 6 months back up power supply in the event of

a mains supply failure. The alarm may beep every 45 seconds for a few hours after a mains supply

failure while the batteries re-charge.

650MC, 670MC, 680MC.

High performance capacitors provide a back up power supply in the event of a mains supply failure.

The alarm may beep every 45 seconds for a few hours after a mains supply failure while the

capacitors re-charge.

Troubleshooting

Problems are indicated by four events: -

1. Alarm does not sound upon pressing the test button

2. Green light does not illuminate when mains power is on.

3. Red operating light remains steadily on, or off (i.e. does not flash every 45 seconds when alarm is

in standby).

4. Alarm emits a beep every 45 seconds when back up power supply should be fully charged.

Try the following: -

1. Inspect the fuse in the power circuit to the alarm

2. Gently vacuum as detailed in 'Simple Maintenance'.

3. For MBX models only, replace the battery.

4. Call a qualified electrician to inspect the house wiring and connections to the alarm.

If these procedures do not eliminate the problem. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS. In the first instance

contact the manufacturer for further advice.

If the alarm is still within warranty period and terms, return the unit with proof of purchase to the

distributor, indicating the nature of the problem. Units beyond warranty cannot be economically repaired.

For address see the bottom of this page.

False Alarms

Abnormal air conditions may cause the highly sensitive alarm to give a 'false' alarm. DO NOT

DISCONNECT THE ALARM. If no fire is apparent, ventilate the room and/or operate the alarm pause (If

fitted).

WARNING: IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION AS TO THE CAUSE OF AN ALARM, ALWAYS ASSUME THAT

IT IS DUE TO AN ACTUAL FIRE AND FOLLOW YOU FIRE EMERGENCY PLANS. Do not assume the

alarm is a nuisance alarm and activate alarm pause (if fitted).

Dust can have an adverse effect. Vacuum as recommended above.

Do not paint the unit.

Other factors such as nicotine contamination may also adversely affect the alarm.

Radioactive Contents

Ionization type smoke alarms utilise a tiny amount of radioactive material, 0.9 microcuries (30

kilobequerels) of Americium 241, to detect smoke. This material is in the form of a sealed source and

represents no hazard whatsoever to anyone installing or using the smoke alarm. Any stray particles would

be unable to "penetrate the dead layer of skin and thus do not constitute an external hazard". (Radiation

Protection Guidance for Scientists and Physicians). All BRK

Dicon™ ionization smoke alarms have been

rigorously tested by the National Radiological Protection Board to ensure absolute safety.
