Thank you for purchasing Quell 240V hard-wired photoelectric
smoke alarm. Please read through our guide in full. It should be
retained for future reference. 

Cut out page 10 and pin up near your Consumer Unit/Fuse
Box.

Chubb Fire & Security Pty Limited recommends for maximum
protection that both ionisation and photo-electric (optical) smoke
alarms be installed. Ionisation sensing alarms may detect
invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
detect   visible fire particles (associated with slow smouldering
fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable. 

Electrical rating 240V AC, 
50Hz 80mA max per alarm 
(maximum 80mA for originating unit 
with 24 Devices interconnected).
