The power pack isautomaticallyenabledwhenthealarmisfullylockedontothemountingplate.

WARNING: This automatic powerengage system only applies to the

following10yearsmokealarms:ST-620

IMPORTANT: Your alarm will not workuntil it is correctly located and secured

onthemountingplate.

SENSOR TECHNOLOGYTraditionally 3 types of senor technologyhavebeenusedindomesticsmokealarms.

Optical smoke alarms are typically moreeffectiveatdetectingslowburningfires.

Ionisation smokealarmsaregenerallymoreeffectiveatdetectingfast,flamingfires.

Heat alarms are triggered when roomtemperature reaches a set point (typically56°C) these alarms are generally used inkitchens.

THERMOPTEK SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

This combines an optical sensing chamberwith thermal enhancement. The alarm iseffective at detecting slow burning fires,and constant monitoring of temperaturechangesenablesthesensitivityofthealarmtobeinstantlyincreasedtherebyquickeningthetypicalresponsetimetofastflamingfiressignificantly.

Thermoptek alarms are “toast-proof”meaning they can be positioned in areaclose to kitchens that may be affected bycookingfumes.Heatalarmsshouldbeusedinkitchenswhererequired.

APPLICATIONWARNING: Your FireAngel smokealarm can be installed into a new

In this type of propertythe building regulations require alarmsto be interlinked. You can obtain furtherinformation from your local fire service orbuilding control department at your localcouncil offices. These sources generallyprovide advice on new builds or projectsthatrequireplanningpermission.

Your smoke alarm typically meets theminimum requirements for family livingunitsinexistingbuildings,aslongasatleastone unit is installed on each floor/level ofyourproperty.

Inordertoachievetheearliestfirewarning,we recommend that a smoke alarm isfitted in all rooms where the temperatureis normally between 4°C (40°F) and 38°C(100°F). Check the section on ‘Positioning’to ensure that the smoke alarm is to becorrectly positioned for the particulardwelling into which it is intended to beinstalled.

POSITIONING Thermoptek smoke alarms are less prone to false alarms from cooking fumes, and are therefore suitable for locations near kitchens. However like other types of smoke alarms, thermoptek smoke alarms can be susceptible to nuisance alarms from steam and should not be located too close to bathrooms and showers.

It is recommended that your FireAngel smoke alarm is NOT to be fitted in the following locations:

• Bathrooms,shower-rooms,andotherverydamporhumidareas,wherethemoisturecancauseunwantedalarms.• Kitchens.Kitchenareasshouldbeprotectedwithself-containedHeatAlarms,asthecombustionparticlesfromcookinginkitchenswillresultinunwantedalarmsandpermanentcontaminationofthesmokealarm’ssensor.• Inareaswhereexcessivedustordirtcouldcontaminatethesensingchamber,makingitoversensitiveorimpairingsmokeentry.• Inareaswheretheambienttemperatureisnotcontrolledandmayregularlydriftbelow4°C(40°F)orabove38°C(100°F)e.g.unheatedbuildings,openatticspaces.• Verydirty,dustyorgreasyareas.• Inverydraughtyareas,suchasclosetoceilingfansorfreshairvents.Draughtscanblowsmokeawayfromthealarm.
