for looking up before start-up this product. A long and failure-free operation can only be guaranteed if the installation and start-up is done properly. Note: Please read all warnings and instructions before using this equipment! Keep these operating instructions for future reference! This smoke detector is used for early warning of dangerous smoke. As soon as smoke enters the interior of the equipment, a loud alarm will sound. The smoke alarm detector identifies the smoke and not the flame of a fire.  This smoke detector type GS508 may only be used in private rooms.  After a maximum of 10 years as well as with signaling the battery fault signal, the smoke alarm detector must be replaced.  Before mounting the smoke alarm detector, the smoke alarm detector must be activated (see section 3.1).  The smoke alarm detector can detect a fire early. The smoke alarm detector is not suitable for preventing a fire! Scope of delivery: Smoke alarm detector Type GS508 2 screws for fixing Model-number: GS508 DoP: 508-001 Smoke alarm detector GS508

 Note: The alarm sound is very noisy! Your hearing can be damaged if you are exposed to the loud alarm sound over a longer period of time!  Please do not paint over the smoke alarm detector with paint or similar!  Do not install the detector in difficult to access areas! The detector must be checked regularly for its function!  Caution: Never test the smoke alarm detector with an open flame, e.g. by a candle or a lighter! This will damage the built-in sensor!  Get rid of the smoke alarms regularly (at least every six months) of dust and other deposits of dirt! Please use a paint brush or a slightly cloth moistened with water. In dusty conditions, the smoke alarm detector should be cleaned monthly.  This product is only suited for indoor-use and not for outdoor-use. Protect it against humidity and moisture, splashing or dripping!  Damaged smoke alarm detectors must be replaced immediately! 2. Mounting location in rooms of the smoke alarm detectors 2.1 Smoke alarm detectors should be installed in the following rooms:  Bedrooms: If several bedrooms are in the house, then the attachment of smoke alarm detectors in each bedroom are advised.  Corridors and stairways: Because stairwells easily serve as chimneys for smoke and fire, they contribute to the further spreading. Therefore it is recommended to install on each floor at least one smoke alarm detector!  Living and working rooms as well as storage areas.  Cellar and attic space: With the attic space a distance should be kept to the roof point of at least 50 cm (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Mounting the smoke alarm detector on the roof slope  Rooms are equipped with electrical appliances.  For rooms that have sloping ceilings, the following must be considered: With the assembly a distance of from 50 to 100 cm to the roof point must be kept. If the horizontal ceiling is less than 1 m wide, then the smoke alarm detector must be installed in rooms with sloping ceilings as shown in Figure 2. If the ceiling is greater than 1m, then the smoke alarm detector is placed on the horizontal ceiling.

Note: If you are unsure about the mounting of the smoke alarm detector in your rooms, please advised by a qualified electrician! The smoke alarm detector must be installed on the ceiling in the middle of the room, because smoke rises to the ceiling of the room and spread horizontally. The smoke alarm detector should be placed possible so that this is at least 50cm from the side wall and 61cm mounted away from the corner of the room (see Figure 3). Figure 3: Mounting the smoke alarm detector on the ceiling  On ceiling beams, which are thicker than 20 cm, no installation of smoke alarm detector should be done. A minimum distance of 50 cm is urgently recommended.  The smoke alarm detector should be mounted at least 50 cm away from lamps and fluorescent lamps.  An installation height of 6m maximum should not be exceeded. If the installation height is more than 6m, the smoke alarm detector must be installed on several levels.  The smoke alarm detector can supervise a maximum area of 60m².  The maximum distance of smoke alarm detectors in extensive corridors can be up to 15 m. To the end side of corridors the smoke alarm detectors should be applied in the distance of maximum 7.5 m.  In small corridors and rooms which are not wider than 1m, the smoke alarm detector must be mounted in the middle of the ceiling.

 Rooms which have a high air humidity - for example in the bathroom.  In garages or kitchens. A smoke alarm detector in the kitchen should only be installed, if the distance to the stove is at least 4m.  Smoke alarm detectors should not be installed close to heaters, heating-, cooling- and ventilation-shafts. Also, they may not be mounted on open fires or fireplaces.  In very dusty rooms.  With A-shaped roofs the smoke detectors may not be mounted at the highest point.  Rooms having a room temperature of below 5 ° C or above 45 ° C.  In caravan or similar rooms. In these living areas, the attachment to the inside of parts are advised. The air in the upper part of these areas as well as the ceiling is strongly warmed up by intense solar irradiation. This can result that the strongly warmed up air keeps the smoke from reaching to the smoke alarm detector. 3. Installation and startup Before starting up this product, please check for external damage. In case of visible external damage we immediately dis-advise the start-up of this product! Please remove all packaging material of this product before the first start-up. Disconnect the mounting base by turning it counterclockwise from the case. Break the safety pin carefully out of the mounting base (see Figure 4). To do this, take a screwdriver for help. You can attach the mounting base with the included screws to the ceiling. The drill-holes are shownin figure 4. Figure 4: Mounting base 1. Hold the mounting base to this position on the ceiling, where you want to mount the smoke alarm detector. Draw with a pencil the holes for the bores to the ceiling. 2. Then drill two holes (Ø 5mm). 3. Now take the two in the scope of delivery supplied dowels and put them in the bores.

5. Finally take the smoke detector and turn the housing clockwise until it clicks on the mounting base to the ceiling. After that take the safety pin and put him in the provided recess in the case as shown in Figure 5. The safety pin prevented that the smoke alarm detector does not solves independently from the holder. Figure 5: Mounting the safety pin on the smoke alarm detector 3.1 Activation of the smoke alarm detector To activate the smoke alarm detector, hold down the TEST button for approx. 3s until the red LED lights up. While the LED is red, release the TEST button. The smoke alarm is now activated. 3.2 Temporary muting the Alarm In a false alarm, which was not caused by a fire, the alarm can be switch off for about 10 minutes. However you must absolutely make sure that the alarm was not activated by a fire, but rather e.g, by strong smoke during the cooking or by strong smoking of cigarettes or cigars in small rooms! To temporarily turn off the alarm, press the TEST button. Then open doors and windows to clean the air. Should the air still have a high number of combustion particles after 10 minutes, the alarm sounds again. By pressing the test button, the mute function can be repeated as often as desired. The mute function can be simply deactivated by pressing again the start button. At an excessively large amounts of smoke, this function is not adjustable.

The TEST button (see Figure 5) is used to check the function of the smoke alarm detector. After pressing the key a very loud alarm will sound! Keep the smoke alarm detector at least an arm's length away from your body while pressing the TEST button. The activation of the alarm takes place after approximately 4 seconds of pressing the button Afterwards the LED starts flashing and the alarm sounds. In this case the function of the electronics, the alarm device of the smoke detector and the battery is checked. After releasing the TEST button, the alarm will turn off automatically. Attention: Test the smoke alarm detector weekly to its function by pressing the test button. It even beeps once and the alarm stops automatically after releasing the TEST button. 3.4 Recurrent self-test of the smoke alarm detector on its function The smoke detector performs every 30-40 seconds a self-test. You can see this by a short blink of the LED. Note: In case of improper function of the smoke alarm detector, please contact the manufacturer! 4. Technical Data Power supply: 3VDC 0,02A Temperature region: +5°C until +45°C Alarm Volume: ≥ 85dB (A) within 3m 5. Information to the re-built battery This heat detector is equipped with a non-replaceable lithium battery. The battery will last approximately 10 years during normal operation. Should the battery will be weaker, every 40 seconds a clearly perceptible signal will be sent out from the smoke alarm detector. This signal is audibly at least 30 days. As soon as the beep sounds, the smoke alarm detector must be replaced.Batteries should never be exposed to extreme heat (for example, by strong sunlight or fire). Never throw batteries into the fire. Risk of explosion! 6. Reasons for triggering a false alarm The following may be causes of a false alarm:  Water and kitchen steam

 dust  Strong drafts etc. Usually the smoke of cigarettes does not trigger the alarm. If the alarm still be triggered, please make sure that not a fire has activated the smoke alarm detector! If no fire is detected in one of the rooms, you can set the alarm of the smoke detector temporarily mute (see chapter: "3.1 Temporary muting of the alarm"). 7. Behavior in case of fire The installation of a heat or smoke alarm detector is only one of many fire protection measures. Other fire protection measures are e.g. the provision of a fire extinguisher or a fire blanket. Another measure is the creation of an escape plan and the subsequent discussion with your roommates or your family. If the fire cannot be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or a fire blanket by yourself, then leave the house immediately! Do not waste time to put clothes on or by transportation of personal objects - because every second counts! After leaving the house please inform the fire department immediately! When leaving the burning room, please check first the surface of the door to its temperature. Should the door be hot or under the door smoke rising up, do not open the door! If possibly please use another door or a window to escape from the room. If the surface of the door is cold, then brace yourselves with the shoulder against the door and open it a small gap. Be always careful and ready to slam the door quickly, if heat or produced penetrates from the next door. With strong production of smoke please keep close to the ground and breathe - if possibly - through a cloth. Better still by a damp cloth! You may enter the house again only after release or permission of the fire brigade! 8. Maintenance and cleaning This device is maintenance free. Please remove the housing regularly from dirt, dust or spider webs! For this, use the best vacuum cleaner with soft suction brush or a soft cleaning cloth. Ensure that the housing and the air slots are free from contamination at all times, in order to ensure proper functioning. Note: Never open the housing to clean the unit from the inside. This can impair the functionality and the warranty guarantee will be extinguished!
