Ionization sensing alarms ma detect invisible fire

particles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner

than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing

alarms ma detect visible fire particles (associated

with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization

alarms. Home fires develop in different wa s and are

often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde

recommends that both Ionization and Photoelectric

alarms be installed.

Recommended Locations

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping

rooms. Try to monitor the exit path, as the sleeping rooms 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 sleeping room.

• 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 Homes.

• 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 and 2B).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a hallway or large room if the

hallway or room is more than 9.1 m (30 ft) long. For large

rooms, one smoke alarm is recommended for every 500 square

feet of floor space.

• Install smoke alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at

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

NFPA 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 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 and 2C).

Installation

• In homes that are not well insulated, 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. If you are not sure about the

insulation in your home, or if you notice that the outer walls

and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an

inside wall. In such homes, install the smoke alarm 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).

ALARM

TOTAL HOME PROTECTION

• 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 12” (305mm) vertically

down from the highest point (Image 2D).

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, “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.

• eep 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.

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.

Mountin

CAUTION: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable!

• Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by

holding the plate and twisting the alarm in the direction

indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.

• After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as

described previously, hold the mounting plate against

the selected installation location (wall or ceiling) and

mark the centre of the holes with a pencil. To ensure

aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hallway, or

wall, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be

parallel with the hallway when ceiling mounted, or

horizontal when wall mounted (Image 3A and 3B).

Drill a hole through the pencil marks and use the

enclosed screws and anchors to secure the mounting

plate. Use a 3/16" drill bit for the screw anchor holes.

BATTERY

REMINDER TAB

Installation

• Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery

compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E).

CAUTION: If the battery reminder tab is not held down in the battery

compartment by the battery, the unit will not attach to the mounting plate.

• Alignment marks are provided on the edge of the

mounting plate and the alarm. After installing the

mounting plate, place the alarm onto the mounting plate,

making sure the alignment marks are lined up. Twist the

alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON” arrow on

the alarm cover (Image 3D) until it locks in place.

Alarm Tamper-Resist Feature

• To make the smoke alarm tamper-resistant, a tamper resist

means has been provided. To activate this feature you

must break out the tamper-resist blocks on the mounting

plate (Image 4A). Use a small screwdriver.

• Using this feature will help deter children and others from

removing the alarm from the mounting plate. With the

blocks removed, the tamper-resist feature will be activated

when the alarm is installed on the mounting plate.

• The tamper-resist tab will have to be released in order to

change the battery. Using a tool (small screwdriver) push

the tab away from the mounting plate (Image 4B) and

rotate the alarm in the “OFF” direction.

• After installation, test the alarm by depressing and holding

down the Test button for several seconds. This should

sound the alarm.

Operation

Testin

The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is

installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm

photoelectric sensor chamber senses products of

combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85 db) alarm

until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

• Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the

Test button for at least 5 seconds (or until the unit

sounds). This will sound the alarm if the electronic

circuitry, horn, and battery are working. If no alarm

sounds, the unit has a defective battery 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 fire.

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

arms-length away from the unit when testing.

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

Warranty section).

NOTE: WEEKL TESTING IS REQUIRED.
