1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try

to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest

from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate addi-

tional alarms in each sleeping area.

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act

like chimneys for smoke and heat.

•Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.

•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 an alarm not located in that room

from waking the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and

spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on 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.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid

thermal barriers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION below.

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

4” (10 cm) from the side wall (see figure 1).

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

the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a

maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).

•Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large

room if the hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.

• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at

or within 3ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally).

NFPA 72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes

greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m) horizontally shall be

located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row

of detectors shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of

the peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see figure 3).

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy

efficient. Install smoke alarms as recommended above (see figures

1 and 2).

In older 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 which can prevent the smoke

from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such units,

install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the

alarm at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5

cm) below the ceiling (see figure 1).

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 alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional protec-

tion, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN in figure 2.

WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER

MOBILE HOME HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OR UNOCCUPIED

AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.

2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID

•In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you

start your automobile.

•Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.

• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise

above 100ºF, such as garages and unfinished attics.

• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or fail-

ure to alarm.

• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance

alarms.

• In insect-infested areas.

• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the fol-

lowing: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing

a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cool-

ing, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow

areas.

• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a

kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature

or be a photoelectric type.

• Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance

alarms.

• 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.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED (INCLUDING THE BATTERIES).

THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!

1.To insure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway or

wall, the “A” line on the

mounting bracket should be

parallel with the hallway when

ceiling mounting or horizontal

when wall mounting.

2.After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in

Section 1, attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling as shown

in figure 3. For wall mounting see figure 4. Place the mounting

plate on the wall; be sure the “A” line is horizontal (parallel to

the floor). Use the screws and anchors provided to secure the

mounting bracket (use 3/16” drill bit for anchors).

3.This alarm has batteries permanently sealed inside the alarm no

battery installation is necessary.

ACTIVATING THE ALARM

This model is equipped with a feature that automatically

activates the alarm when the alarm is mounted to the

mounting bracket for the first time. Once activated, the

batteries will supply power to the alarm for the life of the

alarm (10 years). Be sure that the mounting bracket is

mounted correctly before installing the alarm on the mount-

ing bracket.

1.To activate the alarm, install the alarm on the mounting bracket

(figure 6) and rotate the alarm clockwise (as indicated on the

alarm cover) until the alarm ratchets into place (the ratcheting

function allows for aesthetic alignment). NOTE: The alarm will

mount to the bracket in four (4) positions (every 90 degrees).

The alarm is now activated!

2.After installation/activation, test your alarm by depressing and

holding down the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds (or

until the alarm sounds). This should sound the alarm. CAU-

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

always stand an arms length away from the unit when

testing.

TAMPER RESIST FEATURE

Smoke Alarm Tamper Resist Feature

This alarm is equipped with a tamper resist feature that helps pre-

vent someone from removing the unit from the mounting bracket.

When activated, it can be very effective in preventing smoke alarm

removal or tampering.

Activate the smoke alarm tamper resist feature by breaking off the

four posts in the square holes in the mounting bracket (see figure

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the alarm is acti-

vated (see Section 3) and testing is complete. When products of

combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating

alarm until the air is cleared.

SMART HUSHTM CONTROL: The SMART HUSHTM feature has the

capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approxi-

mately 8 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known

alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm.

The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the HUSH®button on

the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm

will silence immediately and the red LED will illuminate for 1.5 sec-

onds every 8 seconds for 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm

is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will

automatically reset after approximately 8 minutes and sound the

alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The SMART

HUSHTM feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been

cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the test/reset

button on the alarm will end the temporarily desensitized period.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE SMART HUSHTM

CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

7). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist on the base

is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm

onto the mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab

snap into place, locking the alarm on the mounting bracket.

Using the tamper resist feature will help deter children and others

from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To remove the

alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the

tamper resist tab and rotate the alarm in the direction indicated by

the arrows on the cover of the alarm (see figure 8).

Location of Posts:

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM SMART HUSHTM FEA-

TURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CER-

TAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flash-

ing red indicator light with four modes of operation:

• The LED will flash every 40-45 seconds in the standby mode sig-

nifying that the alarm is receiving power.

• The LED will flash every 1.5 seconds when the alarm is sound-

ing.

• The LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8 seconds while

the alarm is in the temporarily desensitized mode.

• If alarm memory has been set (see below for alarm memory

description), the LED will flash rapidly when the test button is

pressed.

ALARM MEMORY: This smoke alarm has an memory function that

will inform you if the alarm has sounded since the test button was

last pressed. The alarm memory will cause the red LED to flash

rapidly when the test button is pressed. The alarm memory is reset

when the test button is released.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding

it down for a minimum of 5 seconds (or until the alarm sounds).

This will should the alarm if the electronic circuitry, horn, and bat-

teries are working. If no alarm sounds, the unit has defective bat-

teries or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your

alarm, you could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials

and start a structure fire.

NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic

or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective

alarm, and it should be returned for service (see Section 11).

5. NUISANCE ALARMS

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms.

Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the

smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from

cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the

cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are gener-

ated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood

which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help

remove these combustible products from the kitchen.

This model 0910 has a SMART HUSHTM control that is extremely

useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms.

For more information refer to Section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,

get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to

see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the

alarm.

6. MAINTENANCE

BATTERY ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION

NOTE: Three Lithium-Ion batteries, permanently sealed inside the

alarm, power this unit; no battery installation or replacement is

necessary for the life of the alarm.

WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ALARM FOR

ANY REASON!

To activate the alarm, attach the alarm to the mounting bracket by

rotating in the direction of the arrows on the cover, see ACTIVAT-

ING ALARM in Section 3 (INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS).

This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the

alarm to “chirp” approximately every 40-45 seconds, for a mini-

mum of thirty (30) days, at the end of the life of the alarm to indi-

cate that the alarm needs replacement. To deactivate the alarm

remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the

alarm in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cover of the

alarm and locate the crosshatched area on product label. NOTE:

If the tamper resist feature has been activated, see TAMPER RESIST

FEATURE in Section 3 (INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS).

WARNING! DO NOT DEACTIVATE THE ALARM UNTIL THE

END OF THE ALARM LIFE, WHEN A “CHIRP” IS HEARD EVERY

40-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE ALARM IS DEACTIVATED THE

BATTERIES WILL BE DEPLEATED AND THE ALARM WILL NO

LONGER FUNCTION.

WARNING! ONCE THE ALARM HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED, IT

CANNOT BE REACTIVATED!

WARNING! ONCE THE ALARM HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED, IT

CANNOT BE MOUNTED ONTO THE MOUNTING BRACKET!

Break out the crosshatched area with a screwdriver or similar tool.

Using a screwdriver or similar tool slide the exposed piece towards

the center of the alarm. This will deactivate the alarm, stop the

low battery “chirp” and render the alarm safe for disposal by

draining the batteries.

CLEANING YOUR ALARM

YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR

If the tamper resist feature has been activated you will need to fol-

low the instructions in Section 3 to remove your alarm for mainte-

nance.

To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as out-

lined in the beginning of this section. You can clean the interior

of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vac-

uum cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the open-

ings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm

can be wiped with a damp cloth.

After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your alarm by using

the test button. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal

operation the alarm should be replaced.

7. LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is

based primarily on early notification to occupants of the need to

escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those

occupants. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable

of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal

fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young,

or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape

even when warned early enough that escape should be possible.

For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or

assisted escape or rescue are necessary.

• Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of pos-

sible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing

limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire

particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photo-

electric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible

fire particles (associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than

ionization alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are
