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).

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

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. 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).

2. Installation

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. 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 85%. Very humid areas, with moisture or steam, can cause

nuisance alarms.

Avoid placing ionization smoke alarms (without an alarm silence

feature) 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. 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.

To ensure aesthetic alignment of the alarm with the hall-way, 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).

Secure the mounting plate to the wall or ceiling with the

anchors and screws provided (Image 3B).

For aesthetic reasons, the suggested position for wall mounting

is with the button facing down (Image 3C).

NOTE: This alarm is battery powered and will not function

without the use of one of the recommenced batteries. The

battery must be in good working condition and installed

properly.

Press the battery reminder tab down into the battery

compartment while inserting the battery (Image 3E).

Alarm Tamper Resist Feature

To make the smoke alarm tamper-resistant, a locking pin has been

provided in the bag with the screws and anchors. Using this pin will help

deter children and others from removing the alarm from the mounting

plate. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the side of the alarm after

the alarm has been installed on the mounting plate (Image 3F).

NOTE: The tamper-resistant pin will have to be removed in order to

change the battery. Use long nose pliers to pull the pin out of the hole. It

is now possible to remove the alarm from the mounting plate.

Mobile Homes

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built 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 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 sleeping rooms. For additional protection, see Image

1A and 1B.

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.

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

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

After installation, test by pushing the test button on the cover

and hold it down for a minimum of 5 seconds. This will sound the

alarm if all the electronics, circuitry, horn and battery are working.

If the alarm does not sound and you have already replaced the

battery, the alarm must be replaced.

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 (85db) alarm

until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

3. Operation

False Alarms

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false 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 generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a

range hood that vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also

help remove these combustible particles from the kitchen.

Hush®Control Feature

CAUTION: This feature should only be used to silence an alarm that was

activated by a readily known non-hazardous condition, such as smoke

from cooking.

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 generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a

range hood that vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also

help remove these combustible particles from the kitchen. The Hush®

button is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to

nuisance alarms.

The Hush®feature, activated by pushing the Test/Hush®button on the

smoke alarm cover, temporarily desensitizes the alarm. If the smoke

is not too dense, the alarm will silence, the Red LED will flash every 10

seconds and some units may chirp approximately every 40 seconds for up

to 8 minutes.

The smoke alarm will automatically reset to normal sensitivity after

approximately 8 minutes. If after this period particles of combustion are

still present, the alarm will sound again.

The Hush®feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared

of the condition causing the alarm.

NOTE: Dense smoke will override the Hush®control feature and sound a

continuous alarm.
