IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Correct usage will ensure you have valuable extra time to
escape. Every correctly installed smoke detector will
increase your potential escape time.
•A smoke detector is not a fire-prevention measure.
•Install the smoke detector in the correct place, if pos-sible
in the middle of the ceiling.
•Keep the smoke detector out of the reach of children.
•Test the unit on a weekly basis and after any period of
absence.
CAUTION: Never test with fire!
• Clean the detector regularly (once a month) using the soft
brush from a vacuum cleaner. The smoke alarm can also
be cleaned using a moist cloth.
• If the detector emits a beeping sound every 40 seconds,
this means that the battery is nearly flat and that you should
replace the smoke detector.
•The lifespan of smoke detectors is 10 years.
•A false alarm can be silenced by pressing the test and
silence button.
• You can make your Model ASD-10 smoke detector less
sensitive for 8-9 minutes by pressing the test but-ton. The
detector will nonetheless sound the alarm if the quantity of
smoke is too significant.
•Plan TWO escape routes and rehearse these with all
members of the family.
•IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE: LEAVE THE BUILDING
IMMEDIATELY TAKING ALL FAMILY MEMBERS
WITH YOU, GATHER OUTSIDE AT A PRE-AGREED
MUSTER POINT AND CHECK THAT EVERYONE IS
PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR.
CLOSE ALL DOORS BEHIND YOU AND NEVER
OPEN A WARM DOOR. IF A DOOR IS WARM,
CHOOSE AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE. CALL THE FIRE
BRIGADE FROM OUTSIDE OR AT A NEIGHBOUR’S
HOUSE. NEVER GO BACK INTO A BURNING
BUILDING.
• In the event of considerable build-up of smoke, crawl out of
the building keeping as close to the floor as possible.
Wherever possible, breathe through a cloth (preferably
moist), or else hold your breath as much as you can. The
majority of deaths and injuries are caused by smoke
inhalation rather than fire itself.

POSITIONING THE SMOKE DETECTOR
Minimum protection:
In all rooms, such as bedrooms, living room, study and
suchlike, as well as along escape routes such as corridor
or hallway.
Maximum protection:
- Smoke detector in all rooms (with the exception of
bathrooms, kitchen, garages, etc.)
- Heat detectors can be installed in bathrooms, kit-
chens, airing cupboards, utility rooms, etc. within 5
metres of a potential source of fire.
Recommended
locations:
•The smoke
detector should
preferably be
installed in the
middle of the
ceiling, at least
50 cm from the
wall.
•In the case of
pitched roofs,
install the detec-
landing
tor on the slo-
ping wall, at
least 90 cm (measured vertically) from the ridge of
the roof.
• See minimum and maximum protection (figures 1 & 2)
•Ensure that the detector can always be reached
for testing and cleaning.
Never fit a smoke detector:
• In bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages, etc.
Places where a smoke detector may go off needles-
sly due to condensation, normal smoke or gases. A
smoke detector should be fitted at least 5 metres from
such sources of smoke.
•Places where the temperature may exceed 50° C
or fall below 0° C, e.g. attics, just above a fireplace,
•In the vicinity of (or adjacent etc. to) decorative objects,
doors, sockets, lights, fittings, windows, wall venti-
lators, etc. which could mean that smoke does not
reach the smoke detector. Minimum 50cm away.
• Surfaces that are usually warmer or colder than the
rest of the room. Differences in temperature can pre-
vent smoke from reaching the detector.
•Adjacent to or directly above stoves or heaters.

RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE!
These instructions for use contain important information for correct installation and
use of your smoke detector. Please read this information carefully and retain these
instructions for reference.
Model: ASD-10
•In very high or difficult to reach places. This makes it hard
to reach the detector to test or clean it.
• In very dusty or dirty places. Accumulati on of dust will
prevent smoke from reaching the smoke chamber and in
time will lead to a false alarm.
•Within 1 metre of dimmer switches and wiring. Some
dimmer switches can trigger a fault in the detector.
• Within 1.5 metres of fluorescent lights. Electrical impulses
can adversely affect the functioning of the detector.
• Outdoors and in spaces where a large number of insects
are found. Small insects in the unit’s detection chamber can
disrupt the functioning of the detector.
The underside of the detector gives important
information.
ATTENTION: The smoke alarm should be temporarily
removed during renovation work or structural alterati-ons.
Clean the smoke detector with the soft brush from a vacuum
cleaner once the day’s work is complete, and then replace
the detector, always testing it by pressing the test button
once it has been reinstalled.
INSTALLATION
1. Choose a location that
satisfies the conditions as
described in: Positioning
the smoke detector.
2. Remove the base plate
of the detector (figure
3) by turning the base
plate anticlockwise (to
the left).
3. Mark the mounting
figure 3
holes in the base plate
and drill the holes (use a 6 mm drill). If not using the
screw plugs, then use a 3 mm drill. Screw the base
plate securely onto the ceiling. Make sure that the base
plate is tight against the ceiling so that no air circulation
above the smoke alarm is possible, which could impede
smoke detection. If the opening is too large, this should
be remedied using the kit.
4. Place the smoke detector on the base plate and turn it until
the smoke detector clicks into the base plate. Turn the
smoke detector clockwise (to the right from the OFF to the
ON stripe) to secure the smoke detector and activate it. (See
figure 4)
