1 Appearance

The smoke detector features a Test/Hush Button, an Indicator LED, and a Power Switch. It also includes a Coding Button.

2 Function

Audible and Visual Alarm Indicators

Normal Operation: A red LED flashes every 320 seconds.

Smoke Detection: An internal sounder activates, and the LED flashes rapidly. The sounder produces a Temporal 3 audible signal pattern (0.5s on, 0.5s off for 3 cycles, then 1.5s off).

Test/Hush Button

Testing: Pressing and holding the button activates the alarm for approximately 10 seconds.

Hushing: Pressing the button during an alarm silences it for approximately 11 minutes. The LED flashes twice per second during this period. The alarm will re-activate if smoke persists.

Smoke Chamber Fault

A short audible signal and a single red LED flash every 40 seconds indicate a fault. Vacuuming the detector may resolve this. If the issue persists, replace the unit.

Low Battery

A short audible signal and a red LED flash every 40 seconds indicate a low battery. Interconnected detectors will emit two short audible signals and flash the red LED twice every 4 hours. Replace the detector promptly. The battery is not user-replaceable.

Interconnection

Up to 12 detectors can be interconnected. When one detector alarms, all interconnected units will sound. Only the detecting unit's red LED will flash.

Local Alarm Memory

After an alarm, the green LED flashes 3 times every 40 seconds for up to 24 hours. Pressing the Test button during this period will sound 3 audible beeps.

3 Enrollment

Enroll the Detector Locally

Log in to Hik-ProConnect, select a site and the AX PRO system, navigate to "Settings-System Settings", and tap "Enrollment Mode" to enroll the detector.

Register the Detector via APP

Log in to Hik-ProConnect, select a site and the AX PRO system, tap the "+" icon, scan the QR code on the detector, turn on the detector's power switch, and it will be enrolled.

Format

Hold the coding button and power on the detector simultaneously. Formatting will complete after 8 seconds.

4 Installation

Equipment

Ensure all necessary equipment and tools (drills, screws, cables, ladders) are available before installation.

Location Selection

Follow relevant regulations or DIN 14676 for placement. Install smoke alarms in bedrooms, children's rooms, and hallways. Avoid installing on walls. Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm from surrounding walls, furniture, and lamps. For optimal configuration, install in all rooms and staircases.

Kitchens and Wet Rooms: Use only when false alarms due to steam or cooking fumes can be excluded.

Installation Location Details

Install as close to the ceiling center as possible, away from light fittings and air-conditioning ducts. If not practical, place on the ceiling at least 50 cm from any wall or corner.

Rooms with Sloped Ceiling

For ceilings with slopes > 20°, mount at least 0.5 m and not more than 1 m from the ceiling peak.

Ceilings with slopes ≤ 20° should be treated as horizontal ceilings.

For prorated sloping ceilings:

• If the horizontal ceiling is ≤ 1 m wide, use the mounting method for gabled ceilings (> 20°).
• If the horizontal ceiling is > 1 m wide, mount in the center of the horizontal ceiling.

Where Not to Install the Smoke Detector

Avoid areas with combustion particles (kitchens, garages, near furnaces), dead-air spaces, very humid areas (within 3m of showers), extreme temperatures (-10°C to 60°C), very dusty or dirty areas, near fresh air vents or high draft areas, dead air spaces at ceiling peaks, insect-infested areas, and near fluorescent lights (within 1.5 m).

Mounting

Check the signal strength:

Use the Signal Strength Test in Hik-ProConnect. Solid green indicates a strong signal, flashing green a medium signal, solid red a weak signal, and flashing red a failure.

Mounting with Screws

1. Draw a 150 mm line at the desired location.
2. Rotate the mounting bracket counter-clockwise to remove it.
3. Align the two longest hole slots with the line and mark the keyhole slots.
4. Drill two 5 mm holes, insert plugs, and attach the bracket with screws.
5. Align the detector with the bracket slot and rotate clockwise to mount.

Mounting with Sponge Tape

1. Paste the sponge tape on the rear of the detector.
2. Tear off the film.
3. Paste the detector in the required place. (Note: This method is not EN compliant).

5 Interconnect Function Configuration

Up to 12 detectors can be interconnected with a range of 30m indoors and 100m in free space. Range is affected by building construction.

Interconnection Limitations: 100m in free space, 30m indoors (depending on obstructions).

Procedure:

1. Turn on the power switch of the first detector.
2. Short press the coding button on the first detector; the red LED flashes slowly (approx. once per second).
3. Turn on the power switch of the second detector.
4. Short press the coding button on the second detector; the red LED flashes slowly.
5. Wait for approximately 60 seconds. If two green LEDs illuminate simultaneously without flashing, the interconnection is successful. Otherwise, repeat the process.
6. To connect additional detectors, repeat the steps, choosing a new detector and one already interconnected.
7. After interconnecting all alarms, press the Test/Hush button on each to verify they all sound. The red LED should only flash on the tested unit.

Note: Interconnect detectors within a single family residence to avoid nuisance alarms from neighboring residences.

6 Operations

The detector begins monitoring for smoke upon installation and testing. If the sounder activates, check for fire and follow your safety plan. If a nuisance alarm occurs, ventilate the area. Do not disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.

Hush

Before using the Hush feature, identify the smoke source and ensure safety. Pressing the Test/Hush button silences the alarm for 11 minutes if the cause is known (e.g., cooking fumes). The alarm will re-activate if smoke persists. The feature can be used repeatedly.

7 Care and Maintenance

Weekly Tests

1. Press and hold the Test/Hush button on each smoke alarm.
2. Verify the sounder operates with the specified pattern and the red LED flashes correctly.
3. For interconnected systems, check that all sounders operate and only the tested unit's LED flashes.

Warning: Never use an open flame to test the alarm. Use the built-in Test/Hush button.

Annual Maintenance

1. Vacuum or wipe the detector cover to remove dust and lint. Do not spray aerosols into the detector.
2. Test all smoke detectors after annual maintenance.

Low Battery Alert

A short audible signal and LED flash every 40 seconds indicate a low battery. For interconnected alarms, a double beep and double flash occur every 4 hours. Replace the detector immediately; the battery is not user-replaceable.

Smoke Chamber Fault

Vacuum the detector cover. If the fault persists, replace the detector.

8 Protection From Fire

Install smoke alarms properly, keep them clean, and test them weekly. Replace non-working alarms immediately.

Fire Safety Rules:

• Use smoking materials properly; never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials safely, away from flames and sparks.
• Maintain electrical appliances and circuits.
• Keep stoves, fireplaces, and grills clean and properly installed.
• Keep portable heaters and open flames away from combustible materials.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Keep spare batteries for battery-powered alarms.

Family Escape Plan:

1. Stay calm and think clearly.
2. Exit the house quickly using a planned escape route; do not stop to dress or collect items.
3. Feel doors for heat; use an alternate route if a door is hot.
4. Stay low to the floor to avoid smoke and hot gases.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a damp cloth.
6. Keep doors and windows closed unless needed for escape.
7. Meet at a pre-arranged outdoor meeting place.
8. Call the Fire Service from outside, providing your address and name.
9. Never re-enter a burning building.
10. Contact your local Fire Service for additional fire safety advice.
