Installing The Detector - Risco RWX35S Guía De Instalación Y Usuario

•
Near fluorescent lights, since electromagnetic fields from fluorescent
lighting can trigger false alarms. Install smoke & heat detectors at least
1.5m from such lights.
Where the "heat only" mode can be used
To prevent false alarms, you can use your detector in "heat only" mode. Use the
detector in this mode only in or near areas where typically only harmless
combustion particles exist which do not present a fire hazard. If the distance of
the detector to places at which combustion particles normally exist – for example
in kitchens – is less than 6 meters, install the detector as a heat detector only and
as far away from the combustion particles as possible.
To prevent false alarms, make sure the ventilation in such places is good. Never
try to prevent false alarms by switching off the detector.
Other locations:
•
In damp or humid areas or near bathrooms with showers. The humidity
in the air can get into the measuring chamber and form droplets as it
cools, which can then trigger false alarms.
•
In very dirty or dusty areas. Dirt and dust can collect in the measuring
chamber of the detector and cause it to become over-sensitive.
In addition, dirt and dust can block the openings to the measuring
chamber and prevent the detector from detecting smoke.
Installation
The smoke & heat detector must be assembled on the ceiling or, if necessary, on
the wall. The smoke & heat detector cannot be networked with other detectors.
Before installation, read the sections titled "Where to install your smoke & heat
detector" and "Where not to install your smoke & heat detector", in these operating
instructions.

Installing the detector

1. Select the installation location.
2. Remove the plastic mounting bracket from the detector (see Figure 5).
