APPLICATIONWARNING: Your FireAngel smokealarm can be installed into a new

build property as additional protectionto an existing smoke detection systemonly. It cannot be used as a substitute fora hard wired system as required in newbuild properties. 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.

WARNING: Thealarmpositions shownbelow are based on typical homes.

Construction and layout of individualdwellings will vary, so this should be

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.
