Recommended Locations

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the

bedrooms. Try to protect the exit path, as the

bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more

than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms

in each sleeping area (Image 1A).

• Locate additional alarms to protect any stairway as

stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level (Image

1B).

• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical

appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or

humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps

with the door closed. The closed door may prevent the

alarmfrom waking the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the

ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke

alarmon the ceiling in the center of the room places it

closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is

preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a

minimum of 10 cm (4") from the side wall (Image 2A).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside

wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of

10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the

ceiling (Image 2A).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway

or large room if the hallway or room is more than 9.1

m(30') long.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully

to avoid thermal barriers that may format the ceiling.

For more details, see Mobile Homes.

Installation

• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral

ceilings at or within 0.9 m (3') of the highest point

(measured horizontally). NFPAStandard 72 states:

“Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than

0.3 m in 2.4 m (1 foot in 8 feet) horizontally shall be

located on the high side of the room.” NFPA Standard 72

states: “A row of detectors shall be spaced and located

within 0.9 m (3') of the peak of the ceiling measured

horizontally” (Image 2B).

Installation

Locations to Avoid

• Do not install within 0.9 m (3') of the following: The

door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or

shower, forced air ducts used for heating or cooling,

ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high

air-flow areas.

• Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects

will block the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the

sensor to accurately detect conditions.

• Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame

ceilings or gabled roofs. (Less than 10 cm (4") from the

peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.)

• Install at least 30.5 cm (12") away from fluorescent

lights as electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.

• Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively

dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust particles may cause

nuisance alarms or failure to alarm.

• Extreme temperatures may effect the sensitivity of the

alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is

colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F),

such as garages and unfinished attics.

• Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH)

is greater than 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture or

steam, can cause nuisance alarms.

• Avoid placing ionization smoke alarms in kitchen areas.

Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a

kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence

feature or be a photoelectric type.

• Do not place in the garage. Particles of combustion are

present when you start your automobile.

• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards

unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been

evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Mounting

CAUTION: This unit is sealed (including the battery). The cover

is not removable!

• After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as

described previously, attach the mounting plate to the

ceiling (Image 3B).

• To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the

hallway, or wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate

must be parallel with the hallway when ceiling

mounted, or horizontal when wall mounted (Image 3A).

• Secure the mounting plate to the wall or ceiling with

the anchors and screws provided (Image 3B). Use a

3/16" drill bit for anchors.

• For aesthetic reasons, the suggested position for wall

mounting is as shown in Image 3C.

NOTE: This alarm has a battery permanently sealed inside the

alarm. No battery installation is necessary.

Activation

This model is equipped with a featurethat automatically

activates the alarm when the alarm is attached to the

mounting plate for the first time. Once activated, the battery

will supply power to the alarmfor the life of the alarm(10

years). Be sure that the mounting plate is installed correctly

before attaching the alarm to it.

• Install the alarm on the mounting plate and rotate the

alarmin the direction of the “ON” arrow on the cover

until the alarm ratchets into place (Image 3D). This

ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment. Note:

The alarm will attach to the mounting plate in 4

positions (every 90 degrees).

The alarm is now activated!

CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always

stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.

• After installation, test your alarm by depressing and

holding down the Test button for a minimum of 5

seconds (or until the alarm sounds). This will sound the

alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are

working. If the alarm does not sound, the unit has a

defective battery or another failure.

Mobile Homes

Mobile homes built in the past five to seven years have

been designed to be energy efficient. Install smoke alarms

as recommended in Recommended Locations and Image 2A.

In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to

present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred

from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated

walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier that can

prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on

the ceiling. In such units, install the smoke alarmon an

inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum

of 10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12") below the

ceiling (Image 2A).

If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile

home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are

either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For

minimum protection, install at least one alarmclose to the

bedrooms. For additional protection, see Image 1A.

WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after mobile home

vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at least once a

week during use.
