WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS

SMOKE ALARM ACTIVATION

Smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps repeating.

• Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that

might have difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm

sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without

help.

• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts,

so don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.

• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its

surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks,

don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the

inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it

slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly

through a cloth, wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make

sure everyone is there.

• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from

yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all

right to do so.

• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective

to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For

instance:

a) smoking in bed

b) leaving children home alone

c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

• If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, crawl

low under the smoke where the air is clearer.

1. Introduction

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before installation and keep

this user guide near the alarm for future reference.

Do not try to repair the smoke alarm yourself. Refer to the

instructions in Warranty section for service.

This alarm detects products of combustion using photoelectric

technology.

This alarm is acceptable for use in all residential applications where

smoke alarms are required.

After ten (10) years of cumulative power up, this unit will “chirp” two

times every 30 seconds. This is an “operational end of life” feature

which will indicate that it is time to replace the alarm.

To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to

the side of the alarm. Write the “Replace by” date (10 years from initial

power up) in permanent marker on the label prior to installing the unit.

Product Features and Specifications:

• Temperature: Operating Range: 4.4°C (40°F) to 37.8°C (100°F)

• Humidity: Operating range: 10-95% non-condensing

• Audible Alarm: 85+ dB at 10’ @ 3.4±0.5 KHz pulsing alarm

• Smoke Sensor: Photoelectric

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.

• Leading authorities recommend that both ionization and

photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to help ensure maximum

detection of the various types of fires that can occur within the

home. Ionization 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 ionization

alarms.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type,

in good condition and installed properly.

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the battery and

the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach

the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting in

chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a

different floor.

• If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it

may not wake up a sound sleeper.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the

smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be

installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.

• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early

warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy.

Home owners, landlords and tenants should have adequate insurance

to protect their lives and property.

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.

1. Limitations of Smoke Alarms

2. Recommended Locations

• Locate the smoke alarm in all sleeping areas. Try to monitor 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 monitor 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 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.

• 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 form at the ceiling. For more details,

see Mobile Homes.

• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings

following the mounting guidelines outlined in image 2B and 2C.

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 (Image 2B and 2C).

2. Recommended Locations

• Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shaped ceilings (coffered ceilings) on

the highest portion of the ceiling or on the sloped portion of the

ceiling within 30.5 cm (12”) vertically down from the highest point

(Image 2D).

3. 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

supply 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. In this area install as

shown in images 2B and 2C.

• 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 affect 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 95%, non-condensing. Very humid areas, with moisture or

steam, can cause nuisance alarms.

• 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.

• Do not install within 6ft of heating or cooking appliances

Mobile Homes

Modern mobile homes have been designed to be energy efficient. Install

smoke alarms as recommended in Recommended Locations and

Image 2A.

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 that 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 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

alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional protection, see Image 1A.

WARNING: Test your smoke alarm operation after R.V. or

mobile home vehicle has been in storage, before each trip and at

least once a week during use.
