Smoke Sensor 2.0
SMOKE ALARM
MAINTENANCE
The state building codes in some federal states stipulate that owners of houses and flats
are responsible for ensuring that smoke alarms are installed and function correctly.
Maintenance must be performed at least once a month and comprises (according to
DIN 14676) a visual inspection and function/alarm test. Following an absence longer
than 30 days, performing a functional test is a strict requirement.
REPLACEMENT
Always replace smoke alarms after a fire.
Replace all smoke alarms after 10 years at the latest.
The recommended date for replacement is on the label in format month/year.
Smoke alarms can be stored for a maximum period of 2 years before being used.
LOOKING AFTER THE DEVICE
Clean the slots of the smoke alarm (on the side) using a vacuum cleaner, either with a
fine brush or suitable special brush. Do not blow into the slots.
Wipe the device with a damp or antistatic cloth.
Do not use solvents or microfibre cloths.
Never use a dry cloth as this can cause static charging.
