1. SUPERIOR FEATURES

3.1 As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located

between sleeping areas and potential sources of fire

such as living rooms and kitchens. In single story

homes with one sleeping area, a smoke alarm should

be installed in the hallway, as close as possible to the

living accommodation. To ensure audibility in bedrooms,

no smoke alarm should be further away than 3m from

any bedroom door. It may be necessary to install more

than one smoke alarm, particularly the hallway is more

than 15m long. In single story homes with two separate

sleeping areas, a minimum of two smoke alarms is

required, one outside each sleeping area. In multilevel

or split level homes, as a minimum a smoke alarm

should be installed on the ground floor between the

staircase and any rooms in which a fire might start and

on each story

in circulation areas which form part of

escape route (normally hallways and landings).

3.2 Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in

anticipation of fires originating here, caused by faulty

wiring, lights, appliances, smokers or other hazards.

3.3 For best protection, smoke alarms should be installed

in every room in your home, apart from those listed in

the Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID. Heat alarms

should be used in kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry

rooms, garages and such like, where smoke alarms

would be unsuitable.

3.4 Install smoke alarms in circulation areas at a distance

no greater than 7.5m from the farthest wall, no greater

5.1 Remove the smoke alarm from the packaging and

detach the mounting plate

5.3 Drill the holes at the marks with a 3/16-inch (5mm)

drill.

WARNING!

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

● DO NOT remove or disconnect battery to quiet

unwanted alarms. This will remove your protection.

Open windows or fan the air around smoke alarm to

silence it.

● The test button accurately tests all smoke alarm

functions. DO NOT use any other test method. Test

smoke alarm weekly to ensure proper operation.

●

Observe and follow all local and national electrical

and building codes for installation.

●This smoke alarm IS NOT designed to be the PRIMARY

protection for buildings that require complete fire alarm

systems. Buildings of this type include hotels, motels,

dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, and group

homes. This is true even if they were once single family

homes. However, this smoke alarm MAY be used inside

individual rooms as SUPPLEMENTAL protection.

● Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level

of the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for

many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote

part of the home, on another level, in a chimney, wall,

roof, or on the other side of a closed door, smoke may

PACKING LIST

Photoelectric alarms are generally more effective at detecting

slow, smoldering fires that smolder for hours before bursting

into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in

couches or bedding.

Ionization alarms are generally more effective at detecting

fast, flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly

and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable

liquids or paper burning in a waste container.

However, both types of alarms provide adequate detection of both

types of fires.

If you desire the earliest detection of both smoldering fires and fast

flaming fires, you should install smoke alarms that combine both

photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies in one unit.

●Low Battery Warning

Alarm beeps every 40 seconds when the battery needs

replacing.

●Alarm Pause (Hush mode)

Silence your smoke alarm by momentarily pressing the

test button when non-emergency smoke (e.g. steam),

causes nuisance alarms. The red light flashes every 10

seconds to remind you that the smoke alarm has been

silenced. The alarm will automatically reset after 9

minutes.

not reach the smoke alarm in time to alert household

members. A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire

EXCEPT in the area or room in which it is installed.

● Smoke alarms may not alert every household member

every time. The alarm horn is loud in order to alert

individuals to a potential danger. However, there may be

limiting circumstances where a household member may

not hear the alarm (i.e., outdoor or indoor noise, sound

sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing,

etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert

a household member, install and maintain specialty

smoke alarms. Household members must hear the

alarm's warning sound and quickly respond to it to

reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death that may

result from fire. If a household member is hard of

hearing, install special smoke alarms with lights or

vibrating devices to alert occupants.

● Smoke alarms can sound their alarms only when they

detect smoke. Smoke alarms detect combustion

particles in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or

gas. This smoke alarm is designed to give audible

warning of a developing fire. However, many fires are

fast-burning, explosive, or intentional. Oth

ers are

caused by carelessness or safety hazards. Smoke may

not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to

ensure safe escape.

●Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not

foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or

property from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for

insurance. Homeowners and renters should insure their

lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the

smoke alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you

must test the smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10

years.

than 7.5m from a door to any room in which a fire might

start and no greater than 7.5m from the next smoke

alarm.

3.5 As it is impossible to predict the source of a fire, the

best location for an alarm is usually the center of a

room or hallway. If it is necessary to place a smoke

alarm on a wall, always locate the detection element of

the alarm 150mm to 300mm (6 to 12 inches) below the

ceiling and the bottom of the alarm above the level of

doors and other openings.

3.6 In rooms with simple sloped, peaked or gabled ceilings,

install smoke alarms on the ceiling 900mm (3 feet) from

the highest point of the ceiling. “Dead air” at the peak of

a ceiling may prevent the smoke from reaching the

alarm in time to provide an early warning.

3.7 Read Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID and Section

13 LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS in this manual.

CAUTION: Research indicates that substantial

increases in warning time can be obtained with

each properly installed, additional alarm. It is

strongly recommended that advice in 3.3 above be

followed to ensure maximum protection.

IMPORTANT

These alarms are intended to primarily for single-

occupancy private dwellings. For use in other applications

the manufacturer's advice must be sought.

4. LOCATIONS TO AVOID

DO NOT locate smoke alarms :

4.1 In turbulent air from fans, heaters, doors, windows,

etc., which could draw smoke away from the alarm.

4.2 In high humidity area such as bathrooms and shower

rooms, or where the temperature exceeds 39˚C (

100˚F) or falls below 5˚C ( 40˚F), as high humidity can

trigger nuisance alarm.

4.3 A t the peak of an “A” frame ceiling. “Dead air” at the

top may prevent smoke from reaching the alarm in

time to provide early warning.

4.4 Less than 300mm (12 inches) from the wall when

mounted on the ceiling.

4.5 In insect-infested areas. Tiny insects may affect

performance.

4.6 In kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages.

Combustion particles from cooking or car exhaust and

dust and moisture c

ould trigger a nuisance alarm.

4.7 In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up

and impair performance.

4.8 Within 300mm (12 inches) of light fittings or room

corners.

4.9 In locations which would make routine testing or

maintenance hazardous (e.g. over a stairwell).

4.10 On poorly insulated walls or ceilings.

4.11 Near objects such as ceiling decorations which might

impede the path of smoke to the alarm.

4.12 Within 1500mm (5 feet) of fluorescent light fittings.
