UK9The advantages of optical smoke detectors are that they are robust andreliable, and do not need large expensive batteries.Audible Alarm SounderThe DET-RSMOKE uses a piezo electric sounder that produces at least 85dB(A) of sound3m away from the detector. The volume of the alarm sound can be reduced bydistance, closed doors, heavy drapes or positioning the detector behindfurniture or other items.Radio SignalingThe DET-RSMOKE transmits radio signals on 868.6625 MHz, a frequency within theharmonized range in Europe for alarm signaling. The alarm signals generated bythe DET- RSMOKE are designed for Eaton’s Security Business control units andreceivers. Radio signals from the DET-RSMOKE can be absorbed and/orreflected by metal structures, wire mesh, heat retaining window films, cabling,metallic pipework and any other metallic items. For a detailed explanation of thefactors affecting radio transmission please read “Guidance Notes for WirelessAlarm System Installations”, available to touchpoint members atwww.coopersecurity.co.uk under the “Support - Installation Assistance forWireless Systems” tab.You must position the detector in a suitable place that does not absorb itssignals, or contains other transmitters that can interfere with those signals.Where to Place the DetectorAll the factors described above mean that there are good places to site the detector toensure that it will detect smoke reliably, give a clearly audible alarm, and provide a strong
