Basic Information about your Smoke Alarm

A Smoke Alarm is an early warning device. Used correctly it

can give you and your family valuable extra time to escape.

Note:-

• When the battery is first connected the Alarm may sound for

2-3 seconds and/or the LED may flash quickly for 10 seconds

- this is normal.

• A Smoke Alarm does not prevent fires.

• Install correctly, in the centre of the ceiling if possible.

• Test monthly.

• When the Alarm beeps and

LED flashes at the same time

replace battery.

• If the Alarm beeps without

the LED flashing at the same time

then clean unit as this is the automatic test feature telling you

the chamber is degraded.

• Plan your escape route.

• Proper protection may require more than one Smoke Alarm.

• If you have any doubt or query about Smoke Alarms consult

the supplier or your local Fire Brigade.

Locating your Smoke Alarm

Sufficient smoke must enter your Smoke Alarm before it will

respond. Your Smoke Alarm needs to be within 10 paces (23

feet) of the fire to respond quickly. It also needs to be in a

position where its alarm can be heard throughout your home,

so it can wake you and your family in time for you all to escape.

A single

Smoke Alarm will give some protection if it is properly

installed, but most homes will require two or more to ensure

that a reliable early warning is given. For maximum protection

you should put individual Smoke Alarms in all the rooms where

fire is most likely to break out.

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located between the sleeping

area and the most likely sources of fire (living room or kitchen

for example). But it should not be more than 10 paces (seven

metres) from the door to any room where a fire might start and

block your escape from the house.

(a) Single Storey Dwelling

If your Home is on one level (a bungalow or mobile home for

example) 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 you can hear it

loudly enough to wake you in the bedroom. (for example, see

figure 1).

If your bungalow is very large and the corridor or hallway is

more than say 22 paces (15 metres) long, one Smoke Alarm

will not be sufficient. This is because no matter where it is

located it will be more than 7.5 metres from potential fires.
