When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.
Regular Maintenance This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly: • Test it at least once a week. • Clean the smoke/CO alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the smoke/CO alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air (sold at computer or office supply stores) may also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the smoke/CO alarm.
Ionization & Photoelectric Technology This alarm uses photoelectric technology. All First Alert ® Onelink ® smoke alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.
Fire Safety Tips (Continued) Basic Safety Information Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.
What You Need to Know About CO What is CO? Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO. These Fuels Include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.
Potential Sources of CO in the Home Fuel-Burning Appliances: Like portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer. Damaged or Insufficient Venting: Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening. Improper Use of Appliance/Device: Operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).
Potential Sources of CO in the Home (Continued) How Can I Protect My Family from CO Poisoning? A CO alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances. To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning: 26 • Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow.
Regulatory Information for CO Alarms What Levels of CO Cause an Alarm? Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes). UL2034 Required Alarm Points*: • If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 4 & 15 MINUTES. • If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 10 & 50 MINUTES.
Regulatory Information for Smoke Alarms Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences NOTE: This information is specific to the smoke and carbon monoxide alarm and is not applicable to the home automation capability. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one smoke alarm on every level and in every bedroom. In new construction, the smoke alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Recommended Placement” for details.
Regulatory Information Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Statement NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Modular Devices FCC and Compliance Statements OEM Responsibilities to Comply With FCC Regulations The A76F Module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following condition: 1. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the condition above is met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
Special Compliance Considerations This smoke alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this smoke alarm in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.
General Limitations for Smoke/CO Alarms (Continued) Smoke/CO Alarms Cannot Work Without Power. Battery operated units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly. If the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.).
