4.3 Smoke Detector Setup and Placement

The smoke detectors are pre-paired with the gateway in this kit. If you purchase additional detectors, they can be added via the app.

1. Recommended Placement: Install smoke detectors on every level of your home, including basements and attics. Place them inside and outside sleeping areas.
2. Ceiling Mounting: For optimal detection, mount detectors on the ceiling, at least 10 cm (4 inches) from any wall.
3. Wall Mounting: If ceiling mounting is not possible, mount on a wall between 10 cm (4 inches) and 30 cm (12 inches) from the ceiling.
4. Avoid: Do not place detectors near windows, doors, or air vents where drafts might interfere with smoke detection. Avoid placing them in kitchens, bathrooms, or garages where cooking fumes, steam, or exhaust might cause false alarms.
5. Use the provided adhesive pads or screw set to securely mount each smoke detector in its chosen location.
6. Once mounted, the smoke detectors will automatically connect to the gateway.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Life

The smoke detectors are equipped with a sealed 10-year lithium battery. This battery is designed to last the entire lifespan of the detector and is not user-replaceable. The app will notify you when the battery is low.

6.2 Cleaning

Clean your smoke detectors at least once a year to remove dust and debris that could interfere with their operation. Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to gently clean around the vents and openings. Do not use cleaning solvents or wet cloths.

7. Troubleshooting

• Alarm sounds without apparent smoke: This could be due to cooking fumes, steam, or dust. Ventilate the area. If false alarms persist, ensure proper placement away from kitchens, bathrooms, and dusty areas.
• No notifications from the app: Ensure your gateway is powered on and connected to the internet. Check your phone's notification settings for the WISUALARM app. Verify the gateway is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, not 5GHz.
• Smoke detector not connecting to gateway: Ensure the detector is within range of the gateway. If it's a new detector, follow the in-app pairing instructions.
• Low battery warning: The smoke detector's sealed battery is nearing the end of its 10-year life. The entire unit should be replaced.
• Gateway not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Restart your router and the gateway. Re-attempt the Wi-Fi setup process in the app.
