OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

This user manual covers the following two

products, FireAngel SI-601 (Ionisation) Smoke

Alarm and SO-601 Toast Proof (Optical) Smoke

Alarm.

Congratulations! You’ve made a wise investment

in an innovative product and your personal

safety. The FireAngel smoke alarms covered by

this manual form part of a new generation of

domestic life safety products from FireAngel

Limited. The FireAngel range of products is

constantly being improved and expanded. Please

visit www.reangel.co.uk to nd out about the

latest additions to our product range.

IMPORTANT: This user manual

contains important information

regarding the operation of your FireAngel

smoke alarm. Ensure you read this user manual

fully before installing and operating the alarm.

If you are installing this smoke alarm for use by

others, you must leave this manual (or a copy

of it) with the end user.

SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

There are two main types of smoke alarm. The

SI-601 Standard Smoke Alarm uses an ionisation

type sensor to detect the presence of smoke.

Ionisation type smoke alarms are generally more

effective at detecting fast, aming res which

consume combustible materials rapidly and spread

re quickly.The SO-601 Toast Proof Smoke Alarm

uses an optical (photoelectric) type sensor which

is more effective at detecting slow burning res,

which can smoulder for hours before bursting into

ames.

TOAST PROOF = less sensitive to cooking

fumes. (Optical alarms are less prone to

nuisance alarms due to cooking fumes.)

For maximum protection, use both types of

smoke alarms on each level of your home

APPLICATION

WARNING: Your FireAngel smoke

alarm can be installed into a new

build property as additional protection to

an existing smoke detection system only. It

cannot be used as a substitute for a hard wired

system as required in new build properties. In

this type of property the building regulations

require alarms to be interlinked. You can

obtain further information from your local re

service or building control department at your

local council ofces. These sources generally

provide advice on new builds or projects that

require planning permission.

Your smoke alarm typically meets the minimum

requirements for family living units in existing

buildings, as long as at least one unit is installed on

each oor/level of your property.

In order to achieve the earliest re warning, we

recommend that a smoke alarm is tted in all rooms

where the temperature is normally between 4°C

(40°F) and 38°C (100°F).The type of smoke alarm

used in each location should be appropriate to the

environment. Check the section on ‘Positioning’ to

ensure that the smoke alarm is to be correctly

positioned for the particular dwelling into which it

is intended to be installed.

WARNING: The alarm positions

shown overleaf are based on typical

homes. Construction and layout of individual

dwellings will vary, so this should be regarded

only as a guide. Check with your local re

station for further guidance.

MINIMUM RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDED FOR ADDITIONAL PROTECTION

EXISTING HOMES

NOTE: Kitchens should be covered by a

self contained heat detector.

Multi-family or mixed occupant residence

(Tenancy building, student accommodation)

Your FireAngel smoke alarm can also be used in

individual ats and bedsits, providing the same

conditions are met as for a single-family residence.

However, there must already be a primary

re detection system that meets regulatory

requirements for common areas such as lobbies

and hallways.

Institutions and Hotels

This includes motels, hospitals, day care facilities,

long-term health care facilities, boarding houses

and dormitories. Your smoke alarm can be used

in individual sleeping/resident rooms, providing

the same conditions are met as for a single-

family residence. However, there must already

be a primary re detection system that meets

regulatory requirements for common areas such

as lobbies and hallways. Use of this smoke alarm

in common areas may not provide sufcient

re warning to residents or meet regulatory

requirements.

This smoke alarm is designed to operate as

standalone smoke alarm.

WARNING: This FireAngel smoke

alarm will not communicate with other

smoke alarms or re alarm systems. It is not

intended as a substitute for a complete alarm

system.

Mobile Homes and Caravans

This smoke alarm is suitable for use in mobile

homes and caravans.

Commercial and Industrial Premises

This smoke alarm is not intended for any non-

residential, commercial or industrial application,

nor for any other purpose than described above.

POSITIONING

Ionisation type smoke alarms are generally

more effective at detecting fast, aming res which

consume combustable materials rapidly and

spread re quickly.

Examples fast aming res = Ignited paper, aming

curtains and oil res

Optical (Toast Proof) smoke alarms are

less prone to false alarms from cooking fumes,

are therefore suitable for locations near kitchens.

However optical smoke alarms are more

susceptible to nuisance alarms from steam and

should not be located too close to bathrooms

and showers.

Examples of slow smouldering res = cigarette on

furniture and bedding, overheating electrical cables.

It is recommended that your FireAngel smoke

alarm is NOT to be tted in the following

locations:

• Bathrooms, shower-rooms, and other very

damp or humid areas, where the moisture can

cause unwanted alarms.

• Kitchens. Kitchens should be protected with

self-contained Heat Alarms, as the combustion

particles from cooking in kitchens will

result in unwanted alarms and permanent

contamination of the smoke alarm’s sensor.

• In areas where excessive dust or dirt could

contaminate the sensing chamber, making it

over sensitive or impairing smoke entry.

• In areas where the ambient temperature is not

controlled and may regularly drift below 4°C

(40°F) or above 38°C (100°F) e.g. unheated

buildings, open attic spaces.

• Very dirty, dusty or greasy areas.

• In very draughty areas, such as close to ceiling

fans or fresh air vents. Draughts can blow

smoke away from the alarm.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog

openings to the sensing chamber, preventing

smoke entry or causing unwanted alarms.

• Within 30cm (12”) of a uorescent light tting

which emits electrical ‘noise’ that can prevent

correct alarm operation.

• In wall positions that are more than 30cm

(12”) away from the ceiling (see ‘How to install

your smoke alarm’).

• In ‘dead air’ spaces (see following diagram).

• Within 30cm (12”) of light ttings or other

ceiling based obstructions.

WHAT ARE THE

LIMITATIONS OF MY SMOKE

ALARM?

Your FireAngel smoke alarm is designed to alert

you by sounding an alarm when it senses smoke,

i.e. it can only sense smoke and alert you if smoke

reaches it! If a re develops in an area remote from

the location of the smoke alarm, such as another

room or another level, smoke may not reach the

smoke alarm in sufcient time or quantity to sense

and alert you to the danger.

We recommend that as a minimum you install

both ionisation and optical smoke alarms on

every oor of your property. For comprehensive

coverage a smoke alarm should also be tted in

every room.

This smoke alarm cannot be used to provide

primary re detection in common areas used

by different residents such as blocks of ats and

hotels.The FireAngel smoke alarm may not alarm

before a re causes damage, injury or death, as the

smoke may not reach the smoke alarm in time.

Examples include smoking in bed and violent gas

explosions.This smoke alarm may not respond in

a reasonable time if it is not installed in the best

position, or if furniture or other obstacles are

located between the smoke alarm and the re.

WARNING: Your smoke alarm will

not operate without a battery installed.

Only batteries listed on page 14 should be

used and must be changed immediately when

the low battery signal is given or the unit will

fail.Test weekly, read and follow all instructions

or the unit will not operate properly.

Your FireAngel smoke alarm will advise you of a

low battery condition by emitting an audible ‘chirp’

every 40 seconds. When this occurs you must

change the battery in the unit within 7 days to

maintain correct operation.

IMPORTANT: Smoke alarms are designed to alert you with an audible alarm at a level

specied by the British Standard BS EN 14604: 2005. Closed doors, walls and high ambient

noise levels will reduce this level. Temporary or permanently impaired hearing may result in the

alarm not being heard. Stereos, trafc and other loud sources may also prevent the alarm being

heard. Heavy sleepers and residents under the inuence of alcohol or drugs may also not hear or

respond to the alarm.Test and check that you can hear the alarm in all circumstances. If in doubt

install additional smoke alarms as required.

WARNING: The Smoke alarm is not suitable for alerting hearing impaired residents.

We recommend that specially designed warning systems be installed that will alert hearing

impaired residents.

WARNING:The smoke alarm accompanying this manual employs the latest technology and

is independently tested as being compliant with all the relevant British Standards. However,

as with any electronic product it may fail and may not sense all types of re within sufcient time

to alert you of the danger and provide adequate time for your escape. In order to maximise your

level of safety always test your smoke alarm frequently to ensure it is in full working order. Your

FireAngel smoke alarm is only suitable for use

in domestic/ residential applications as covered

in this manual. It is not suitable for commercial

or industrial applications. It is designed to

sense smoke and alert you. It will not sense

carbon monoxide, ames, heat or gas. It will

not prevent or extinguish res.

This FireAngel smoke alarm has a limited life of 10

years and should not be considered as a substitute

for life or property insurance. Like all electronic

equipment, it can wear out or fail. It should be

tested weekly and replaced immediately in the

event of failure, and replaced every 10 years

regardless.
