BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

To replace the batteries:

1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector

counterclockwise. Remove and dispose of the batteries according to

your local regulations.

2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20

seconds before installing new batteries.

3. Install 3 new AAA batteries (available from your local Duracell or

Energizer dealer) in the battery compartment. Follow the polarity

diagram inside the compartment. If the batteries are incorrectly

inserted please remove gently with a non-conductive tool and

correctly reinsert

4. Reinstall the detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector

clockwise until the mating marks align.

5. After the power-up sequence the green LED should blink about once

every 12 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the batteries are not

installed correctly, the detector will not operate and the batteries may

be damaged. If the detector does not power-up, check for correct

batteries installation and for a fully charged batteries.

6. Test the detector (as described later).

CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH

HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

PROGRAMMING

Refer to the appropiate compatible control panel programming guide for

the proper procedure required to enroll the wireless smoke/heat into the

system.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM

According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major threat

from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.

The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from res in

the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located

between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one

bedroom area on one oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as

shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or

with bedrooms on more than one oor, more than one smoke detector is

required, as shown in Figure 3.

In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device

should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including

the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area

smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway

to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector

should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the oor

above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should

be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned

relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the

basement before the smoke enters the stairway.

Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm

Installation Guide

ATTENTION: This manual should be read prior to use and retained for

further information.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is a 3xAAA battery powered wireless

detector intended for use with a compatible wireless alarm system. The

detector has a built-in wireless transmitter, which communicates with the

control panel. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local

alarm and the built-in transmitter sends a signal to the control panel.

The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm contains an integrated ﬁ xed 41°F

temperature freeze sensor that will send a warning signal based on

temperature detected. This detector is designed to provide protection with

70-foot spacing capability.

The detector can send alarm, tamper and battery condition messages to

the system’s receiver. Refer to the wireless system’s instruction for the

maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.

CONTENTS OF BOX:

- Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm with base

- Installation guide (APD0601)

- Pack of screws and ﬁ xings

- Labels or decals as appropriate

- 3 AAA PC2400 Duracell Procell batteries (1.5V 1100mAh)

or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (1.5V 1100mAh)

The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm contains a sounder which generates the

ANSI S3.41 temporal 3 pattern in an alarm condition.

In alarm, a message is also sent to the control panel and the detector’s ID

is displayed at the console. During an alarm condition, pressing the detec-

tor’s hush button will silence the sounder (see table below). The mounting

base installation is simpliﬁ ed by the incorporation of features compatible for

both drywall fasteners (not supplied) and other methods.

Tricolored LED (red, yellow, green) and a sounder on the detector provide

local visual and audible indication of the detector’s status as listed in Table 1.

During initial power-up the LED blinks alternately red, yellow then green.

It takes about 8 seconds for the detector to stabilize.

After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally, the

green LED blinks once every 12 seconds.

Detector Trouble: When the detector has a general fault, the yellow LED

blinks once every four seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. After

12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.

Detector Dirty Feature: When the detector has been contaminated, the

yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and there is a chirp every 48

seconds. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for cleaning your alarm. After

12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.

Low Battery Detection: The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is powered by

3 AAA Duracell Procell or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (included).

The detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected,

the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel, which

displays the detector’s ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the

detector will blink every 12 seconds. The detector’s sounder will chirp every

48 seconds (yellow LED continues to blink) until the batteries are replaced.

Pressing the hush button will silence the chirps for 12 hours, if no other

trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced WHEN the chirps

begin. Be sure to replace the batteries with fresh ones.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

To replace the batteries:

Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector

counterclockwise. Remove and dispose of the batteries according to your

local regulations.

2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds

before installing new batteries.

3. Install 3 new AAA batteries (available from your local Duracell or Ener-

gizer dealer) in the battery compartment. Follow the polarity diagram inside

people or pets.

• if you have to escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to

your way out.

• Call the ﬁ re department from outside your home.

“Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a speciﬁ c type

of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be

installed as follows:

(1) In a sleeping rooms and guest rooms

(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21

ft) of any door to a sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of

travel

(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements

(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility),

In typical single level and multilevel dwelling units and apartment buildings

having similar smoke alarm systems there is a possibility that signals sent

by wireless sensors may be blocked or reﬂ ected by metal before they reach

the alarm Control Panel, even if the signal path has been recently checked

during a weekly test. Blockage can occur if a metal object has been moved

into the sensor’s signal path.
