Ionisation type smoke alarms utilise a tiny amount of radioactive material, 0.9 microcuries

(30 kilobequerels) of Americium 241, to detect smoke. This material is in the form of a

sealed source and represents no hazard whatsoever to anyone installing or using the

smoke alarm. Any stray particles would be unable to “penetrate the dead layer of skin

and thus do not constitute an external hazard”. (Radiation Protection Guidance for Scien-

tists and Physicians). All BRK® ionisation smoke alarms have been rigorously tested by

the National Radiological Protection Board to ensure absolute safety.

 "$$ These smoke and heat alarms are intended primarily for use in sin-

1. In turbulent air from fans, heaters, doors, windows, etc.

2. In high humidity areas such as bathrooms and shower rooms or where the temper-

ature exceeds 39ºC (100ºF) or falls below 5ºC (40ºF)

3. At the peak of an ‘A’ frame ceiling – dead air at the top may prevent smoke and

heat from reaching the alarm to provide an early warning.

4. Less than 300mm (12 inches) from a wall when mounted on the ceiling.

5. In insect infested areas. Tiny insects may affect performance.

6. (Smoke alarms) in poorly ventilated kitchen or garage. Combustion particles from

cooking or car exhaust could trigger a nuisance alarm

7. In very dusty or dirty areas – dirt and excessive dust can impair the performance

of the alarm.

8. Within 300mm (12 inches) of a light fitting or room corners.

9. In locations that would make routine testing or maintenance hazardous. (e.g. over

a stairwell).

10. On poorly insulated walls or ceilings.

11. Near objects such as ceiling decorations that might impede the path of smoke or

heat to the alarm.

12. Within 1500mm (5 feet) of a fluorescent light fitting and keep wiring at least

1000mm (39 inches) from these fittings. Do not install alarms on circuits containing

fluorescent light fittings or dimmer switches.

• Operating Lights – A continuous green light indicates the alarm is receiving mains

power. The red light doubles as an alarm source indicator and flashes approxi-

mately every 45 seconds to confirm circuitry integrity.

• Alarm Source Indicator – Red light will flash every second in the unit originating the

alarm. Red lights on other alarms flash every 45 seconds.

• Alarm Pause (670 & 650 range only) – Silence your smoke alarm by momentarily

pressing the test button. Ideal when non-emergency smoke (e.g. cooking fumes)

cause nuisance alarms. Red light flashes every ten seconds to remind you that the

alarm has been silenced. Double beep indicates that the alarm has automatically

reset after approximately 10 minutes.

Smoke and heat alarms properly installed and maintained are an essential part of a

good home fire safety programme. Review fire hazards and eliminate dangerous con-

ditions wherever possible. When fire strikes a prepared and practiced escape plan

could prove vital. Your local fire brigade may be willing to advise you. Call them and

ask. Consider and discuss the following safety hints:

• Ensure everyone is familiarized with the alarm signal.

• Always test doors with your hands before flinging them open. If they feel warm, fire

may be walled up behind them – leave closed and find another escape route.

• Don’t waste time collecting possessions. Rouse all occupants and leave the build-

ing; your life is more valuable.

• Keep everyone in a set meeting place after your escape.

• If trapped inside, stay close to the floor, cover your mouth with cloth and conserve

breath while you crawl to safety.

• Keep all windows and doors closed except for escape purposes.

• Prepare and practice an escape plan before a fire starts.

Draw a floor plan. Have fire drills often. Practise your escape.

ply in the event of a mains supply failure. The alarm may beep every 45 seconds for a

few hours after a mains supply failure while the batteries re-charge.

High performance rechargeable capacitors provide a back up power supply in the

event of a mains supply failure. The alarm may beep every 45 seconds for a few hours

after installation or during/after a mains supply failure. In both of these events the

rechargeable capacitors will need to charge/re-charge when mains supply is restored.

1. Alarm does not sound upon pressing the test button

2. Green light does not illuminate when mains power is on.

3. Red operating light remains steadily on, or off (i.e. does not flash every 45 seconds

when alarm is in standby).

4. Alarm emits a beep every 45 seconds when back up power supply should be fully

charged.

Try the following: -

1. Inspect the fuse in the power circuit to the alarm

2. Gently vacuum as detailed in ‘Simple Maintenance’.

3. For MBX models only, replace the battery.

4. Call a qualified electrician to inspect the house wiring and connections to the alarm.
