1Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Fyrnetics alarm.Please read through our guide in full.Kidde Fyrnetics recommends for maximum protection that both ionisation andphoto-electric (optical) smoke alarms be installed. Ionisation technology is faster atdetecting fast flaming fires that give off little smoke. Photo-electric (optical) technologyis faster at responding to slow, smouldering smoky fires.Heat alarms should be installed in environments where excessive steam, dust etc.make smoke alarms impractical e.g. kitchens/boiler rooms/lofts.Smoke and Heat alarmInstaller’s Guide230V Interconnectable Mains Operated Alarms For models:1SF23/9HI, 1SF23/9HIR, 1SF23/9HIRE, 2SF23/9HI, 2SF23/9HIR,2SF23/9HIRE, 3SF23/9HI, 3SF23/9HIR, 3SF23/9HIREThe additional Owner’s Manual should be left in a safe placefor the property owner. e.g. near Consumer Unit.DO NOT LEAVE THIS INSTALLER’S GUIDE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.Kidde Safety Europe, Mathisen Way, Colnbrook, SL3 0HB, UK.www.kiddefyrnetics.co.uk© Kidde Fyrnetics 2001ContentsSection 1.
