What does it do?

What are they doing?

What are they doing?
PIR detectors detect movement by sensing temperature differences, for example a person moving in the room.

Placement tips:

• Mount them 2–2.5 meters above the floor on a wall or in a corner.
• Aim them at areas where people are likely to pass, such as doorways or hallways.
• Avoid targeting them with:
  • Fans or moving objects.
  • Open windows.
  • Draft from ventilation or air conditioning.

For locations with interference:
In areas such as garages or conservatories, where there may be drafts or large temperature changes, it is recommended combination detectorsThese combine PIR technology and microwaves to reduce the risk of false alarms.

Here's how:

1. Mount the included holder on the wall.
2. Attach the detector to the holder and adjust the angle for best coverage.
3. Test by moving around the room and checking that the system responds.

What are they doing?
Sirens emit a loud sound that scares away intruders and alerts neighbors.

Placement tips:

• Indoor siren: Place in the center of the house, high up on the wall to spread the sound best.
• The outdoor siren: Install in a visible location outside the house, preferably near the roof to make access more difficult.

Here's how:

1. Mount the indoor siren in a central location with screws or double-sided adhesive mounts.
2. For the outdoor siren, use weatherproof screws and seal around the brackets to protect against the elements.
3. Test the sirens to ensure they are working and producing enough sound.

What does a smoke detector do?

Smoke detectors detect smoke particles in the air and trigger an alarm to warn if a fire is about to start.

Where should you place smoke detectors?

• On the ceiling: Smoke rises upwards, so the best place to install a smoke detector is in the middle of the ceiling of the room.
• In bedrooms: Place a smoke detector in or outside each bedroom to warn during the night.
• In hallways: Install smoke detectors in longer hallways or corridors leading to bedrooms.
• Each floor: There should be at least one smoke detector on each floor of the home, including the basement and attic.
• Stairwells: If there are stairs in the home, place a smoke detector near the top of the stairs to pick up smoke moving between floors.

Where should you avoid placing smoke detectors?

To minimize the risk of false alarms and impaired performance, you should avoid the following locations:

1. Kitchen: Smoke detectors can be triggered by cooking. If a detector must be placed in the kitchen, make sure it is at least 3 meters from the stove.
2. Near bathrooms: Steam from showers can trigger false alarms. Place the smoke detector at least 3 meters from the bathroom door.
3. In the case of fireplaces: Avoid placing a detector directly over a fireplace or near a stove, where smoke and heat can cause false alarms.
4. Poorly ventilated areas: Places with a lot of draft or where airflow is restricted can affect the detector's sensitivity.
5. In ventilation: Avoid installing smoke detectors near air conditioning systems, vents or fans, as these may interfere with the function of the detectors.

How to install a smoke detector:

1. Choose the right location: Follow the above recommendations for placement and avoid unwanted areas.
2. Mount the detector:
   • Use the screws and brackets supplied with the detector.
   • If the ceiling is not suitable for mounting, the detector can be mounted on the wall near the ceiling (max. 30 cm down from ceiling height).
3. Turn on the power:
   • If it is a battery-operated smoke detector, insert new batteries.
   • For mains-powered detectors, connect them to the mains according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Test the detector: Press the test button to ensure it is working. Do this regularly, at least once a month.

Smoke detector maintenance:

• Replace batteries: Replace batteries at least once a year or according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Clean regularly: Wipe the detector with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt that may affect its function.
• Replace the detector: Smoke detectors have a limited lifespan (often 10 years). Check the manufacturer's specifications and replace it if necessary.

With proper installation and maintenance of smoke detectors, you can protect your home and family from fire hazards. Good luck!

What does a water detector do?

Water detectors are important for detecting leaks and water damage early, which can save time, money, and damage to your home.  

A water detector senses moisture or water and triggers an alert, either locally via a siren or by sending a signal to your alarm system.

Where should you place water detectors?

Place water detectors where the risk of water leakage is greatest:

1. Under sinks: Place a detector under kitchen and bathroom sinks where pipes can often start to leak.
2. For dishwashers: Install near the bottom of the dishwasher where water leakage may occur.
3. For washing machines: Place a detector under or near the washing machine, where both water hoses and drains can cause leaks.
4. In basements: Place a detector at the floor in basement spaces, especially near drains, water pipes or boilers.
5. For water heaters: Place the detector on the floor next to the water heater to detect any leaks quickly.
6. Refrigerator with ice maker/water feature: If the refrigerator has a water connection, install a detector behind or next to it.

Where should you avoid placing water detectors?

To minimize the risk of false alarms or inefficiency, you should avoid the following locations:

1. Completely dry areas: Places where the risk of water leakage is minimal.
2. Locations with constant humidity: Avoid placing detectors in areas where humidity is common, such as near open showers or outdoors.
3. With skirting boards in sloping rooms: If the floor slopes away from the detector, water may flow away before the detector reacts.

How to install a water detector:

1. Choose the right location: Identify areas where leaks are most likely and place the detector directly on the floor or surface to be monitored.
2. Mount the detector:
   • Most water detectors can be placed directly on the floor without fixed installation.
   • If necessary, you can secure it with tape or clamps according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Turn on the power:
   • For battery-operated detectors, insert new batteries before installation.
   • For mains-powered detectors, connect them to the power outlet and check that the cables are not in the way.
4. Test the detector:
   • Drop a little water on the sensors or dip the end of the sensor into a bowl of water to ensure the detector responds correctly.

Maintenance of water detectors:

• Replace batteries: Replace batteries at least once a year or according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Clean the sensors: Check and clean the sensors regularly to remove dirt and dust that can affect their sensitivity.
• Test regularly: Test the detector at least once a quarter by adding a small amount of water to the sensors.
• Relocate as needed: If the water flow in a room changes or if renovations are made, it may be necessary to move the detector to a more strategic location.

With proper installation and maintenance, water detectors will help you protect your home from expensive and troublesome water damage. Good luck!
