Installation Information; Replacing The Batteries - Alecto SA-300 Instrucciones

INSTALLATION INFORMATION:

Attach the ceiling plate using the included plugs and screws to the ceiling on a location
of choice. Wall mounting is not recommended for smoke detection. Then put the de-
tector to the ceiling plate and, twist clockwise to lock it in place. It will emit a beep and
be ready for use. Perform a first test by holding the key for three seconds. Also see the
paragraph: "Testing".
USING, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE:
Using:
The smoke detector works if the smoke detector has been mounted to the ceiling.
A red LED will light up and the smoke detector will beep briefly to let you know that it
has been activated, because the ceiling plate has switched a lever on the inside.
The red LED will now flash every 40 seconds. Once smoke is detected, the alarm will
sound. Once the smoke disappears, the smoke alarm will stop automatically.
Test:
Hold the button for at least 3 seconds. The operation is still correct if you hear 2 or
three signal tones. Check the smoke detectors weekly. In alarm status the smoke de-
tector will generate about 85dB(A). Do not use candles, open fire or cigarettes to test
the smoke detector.
Time-out function:
This function will deactivate the alarm for about 10 minutes. This function can be
enabled by pushing the HUSH/TEST button very shortly. The LED will now blink once
every 8 seconds to indicate the deactivated smoke alarm.
After 10 minutes, the alarm will be fully active once again. If there is (still) any smoke in
the environment, the alarm will go off again.
This function can be used repeatedly.

ATTENTION:
• If the cause of an alarm is unclear, assume it's caused by fire. Immediately
evacuate the building.
• Keep the smoke detectors out of range of children.
• Protect against dust during rennovations. Without protection the smoke
detectors will lose their functionality.
Maintenance:
The smoke detector is maintenance-free. In very dusty rooms they may be cleaned by
vacuum.
PLAN AN ESCAPE ROUTE:
• Make a map and mark all locations of doors and windows and a possible escape
route. Note that you may need an escape ladder on high floors.
• Ensure everyone in the house knows the sound the smoke alarms produce and
regularly practice use of the escape route.
• Leave the house immediately according to the plan when hearing the alarm. Every
second counts: so respond quickly. If you do not notice smoke or heat, check if
everyone in the house is in a secure location.
• Do not open any doors without feeling wether the door is warm or if there is smoke
coming from underneath the doors. If it is, do not open that door. If the door is cold,
put your shoulder firmly against the door and open it a small amount to check for
any heat or smoke first.
• If there is much smoke, keep low and take shallow breaths, preferably through a
moist towel. Call the fire department as soon as you are safe outside.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES:

The detector is supplied using a built-in lithium battery. Under normal conditions the
battery will last at least ten years. If the detector is about to need replacement, the
smoke detector will make a chirping sound every 40 seconds for at least 30 days. If the
smoke detector does not function, please contact your supplier.
ENVIRONMENT:
Do not throw away used batteries, but recycle them using your local chemical
depot. Product may not be thrown out as normal waste, but must be recycled
as electrical waste.
