B.E.G. LUXOMAT SD1 Operating instructions

Brand: B.E.G.

Model: LUXOMAT SD1

Category: Smoke detectors

Type: Operating instructions

B.E.G. LUXOMAT SD1 is a smoke detector that uses the photoelectric principle to detect smoke and fire hazards. It is designed to provide early warning of potential dangers, giving you valuable time to evacuate and call for help. Here are some of its key features and capabilities:

Early smoke detection: The SD1 smoke detector is highly sensitive and can detect even small amounts of smoke, providing early warning of a potential fire.
Loud alarm: When smoke is detected, the SD1 smoke detector emits a loud 85 dB alarm, alerting you to the danger and prompting you to take immediate action.

Assembly and operating instructions for B.E.G.’s SD1 smoke detector

Tested according to EN 14604:2005 as appropriate.

2. Avoid these sites

Do not fit the smoke detector in:

− Kitchen– kitchen smoke could active the alarm un-

intentionally.

− Garage – residue from combustion is produced

when you start your car.

− In front of heating or air conditioning equipment.

− At the highest point of “A” shaped roofs.

− In rooms where the temperature drops below 5°C

or exceeds 45°C.

− Do not fit a smoke detector to the ceiling of a cara-

van or similar rooms. The sun’s rays will heat the

ceiling and the air in the top part of the room. Hot

air just under the ceiling may prevent the smoke

from a dangerous smouldering fire from reaching

the smoke detector.

The smoke detector will not work without bat-

teries. A new battery must be fitted when the

“Battery empty signal” sounds.

Test weekly. Read and follow all instructions.

3. Producing an escape plan

Principles of an escape plan:

− Produce a floor plan which shows all doors and

windows and contains at least two escape routes

from each room. Windows on the second floor may

require a rope or ladder.

− Discuss with all members of the family what they

should do in the event of a fire.

− Agree on somewhere outside your house where you

should meet in the event of a fire.

− Everyone should be familiar with the sound of the

smoke detector; teach everyone to leave the house

when they hear this sound.

− Put red stickers in the top left corner of the windows

in rooms where children sleep. These stickers are

available from the local fire brigade.

− Run a smoke fire alarm at least every 6 months. Practic-

ing will help you test your escape plan before the real

thing. Situations may arise where you cannot reach

your children. It’s important you know what to do.

4. What to do when the alarm sounds?

− Leave the house immediately following the escape

plan. Every second counts so don’t waste time get-

ting dressed or stopping to find valuables.

− On your escape, don’t open any doors without first

feeling the surface. If a door’s surface is hot or if

you can see smoke coming in under the door, do

not open it! Use an alternative escape route instead.

If the surface of the door is cool, press your shoulder

against it, open it a crack and be prepared to shut it

again quickly if heat and smoke enter.

− Keep close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe

through a cloth and dampen this if necessary.

− Once outside, go to the agreed meeting point and

make sure everyone is there.

− Call the fire brigade from your neighbour’s house –

not your own!

− Do not re-enter your house until the fire brigade tell

you that it is safe to do so.

5. False alarm

The smoke detector should minimise false alarms. Ciga-

rette smoke will not normally trigger the alarm, only if

the smoke is blown directly into the device.

Particles from combustion produced when cooking can

also trigger an alarm if the device is positioned close to

1. Fitting the smoke detector

− Position the smoke detector close to the bedrooms.

Try to cover escape routes from the bedroom as these

rooms are usually the furthest away from the point of

exit. If you have more than one sleeping area, fit ad-

ditional detectors in each bedroom. (Fig. 2)

− Fit the smoke detector in order to protect stairs, as they

can easily turn into funnels for smoke and fire and help

them spread.

− Be sure to fit at least one detector on each floor of the

building. Position a smoke detector in rooms where

smokers sleep or where there are electrical devices.

(Fig. 3)

− Smoke and other residue from combustion will rise to

the ceiling and spread horizontally. So be sure to fit

smoke detectors in the centre of the room’s ceiling.

However in camper vans e.g. you must fit the system

on the interior side panels to prevent a thermal barrier

which may form on the ceiling.

− If you fit a smoke detector on the ceiling, ensure that

it is at least 50cm from the side wall and 61 cm from

any corner (see Fig. 1).

cookers. Cooking usually produces greater volumes of

particles from combustion and smoke. If the device issues

an alarm, first check whether there really is a source of

fire. If you find a fire, call the fire brigade. If there is no

fire, check whether one of the above reasons may have

triggered the alarm.

Warning:

If you are not able to establish the cause of the alarm,

you must always evacuate the premises immediately.

6. Commissioning, testing & maintenance

•Commissioning:

The smoke detector starts as soon as batteries are in-

serted. If combustion products are detected in the air,

a loud alarm will sound. This stops as soon as the air

is pure again.

•Test:

Press the Test button for at least 4 seconds until the

alarm sounds. A self-test program is activated. The

alarm sounds when the electronics, horn and battery

are working. We would highly recommend testing the

device weekly to ensure it is functioning correctly. If the

alarm does not sound, the battery may be defective.

Replace the battery with a new one. In the event of an

alarm, it will sound at a volume of at least 85 dB(A).

Please dispose the batteries correctly to protect the

environment.

•Maintenance:

Your smoke detector requires virtually no maintenance

or care. However if used in dusty rooms, the outer

chamber of the smoke detector should be vacuumed

from time to time.

If the alarm fails to operate correctly, the advice of the

manufacturer should be sought.

7. Replacing the batteries

The 9V battery will last at least one year. When the

battery starts to go flat, an LED will flash in a 30-40 sec.

cycle for at least 30 days, accompanied by a beep

noise. Change the battery when you are aware of these

indications. Only use 9 V DC batteries (available from

most chemists, household supply stores or shops selling

electrical goods).

Carbonate-Zinc Type: Eveready 216;

Gold Peak 1604P (UL);

Gold Peak 1604S;

Gold Peak 1604G;

Premisafe G6F22.

Alkaline Types: Eveready Energizer 522;

Gold Peak 1604 A;

Vinnic AM9 V;

Duracell MN1604.

Only replace a battery with another of the same type or

of an equal value.

Test the alarm for correct operation using the test facility,

whenever the battery is replaced.

8. Useful precautions

There are certain situations in which a smoke detector is

not effective in protecting against fire. These are defined

in the standard NFPA 74.

For example:

Smoking in bed; or if children are left unattended in

the house; and when cleaning with flammable liquids

(petrol).

10. Installation and fitting

The smoke detector can be easily fitted to the ceiling.

An accessories kit is supplied with every smoke detector.

Hold the mounting base up to the ceiling and use a

pencil to mark the two holes. Secure the base with the

screws provided.

If working on wood panelling or beams, use a 2.5 mm

drill to drill a hole around 20 mm deep and secure the

carrier with the screws provided.

If working on concrete or brickwork, use a 5.5mm drill

to drill a hole 25 – 30 mm deep. Ensure that the dowels

in the holes are secure, if not, find another position for

the smoke detector.

Then insert the batteries, turn and secure the alarm sys-

tem. A safety fixture ensures that the smoke detector can-

not be fitted in the base. If your smoke detector does not

fit in the support clamps, please ensure that the batteries

are inserted correctly.
