INTRODUCTION
The 7139CS/CSX and 7139LS smoke alarms are photoelectric type alarms for use
as an evacuation device in commercial and commercial residential applications, while
the 7109CS/CSX and 7109LS are for use as an alert and relocate device. Each
smoke alarm has a solid state piezo to warn and alert the household to the presence
of threatening smoke as well as a visual signal to warn and alert the hearing impaired
to the presence of threatening smoke.
Your photoelectric smoke alarm is designed to detect the smoke that results from
an actual fire. Consequently, it is uncommon for household smoke such as cigarette
smoke or normal cooking smoke to cause an alarm.
BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION
Dangers, Warnings, Cautions and Notices alert you to important operating
procedures or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay special attention to these
items.
 This photoelectric smoke alarm is listed for use in single-family and multi-family
residences, along with hotels, motels and other commercial residential
occupancies.
 This photoelectric smoke alarm must receive continuous 120VAC, 60Hz, pure sine
wave electrical power (battery is meant for emergency back-up only). In order for
the emergency battery back-up to work, a new battery must be properly installed
(see BATTERY INSTALLATION section).
 NEVER ignore your smoke alarm if it sounds. Refer to IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM
SOUNDS section for more information. Failure to do so can result in serious injury
or death.
 Test this device once a week per manufacturer installation recommendation. If the
device ever fails to test correctly, replace immediately! If the device is not working
properly, it can not alert you to a problem.
 This product is intended for use in indoor locations of family dwelling units.
MODELS
* 7109CS/CSX-W or C.... 120VAC, 60Hz with 1 Form C Aux. relay contact and
visual signal with tandem wire connection. CSX model is
provided with an additional wire (grey) for the remote
activation of the visual signal.
* 7109LS.......................... 120VAC, 60Hz wall mounted, provided with a 9 foot line
cord, pulsating horn and visual signal.
** 7139CS/CSX-W or C.... Same as the 7109CS but with a temporal horn. CSX
model is provided with an additional wire (grey) for the
remote activation of the visual signal.
** 7139LS.......................... Same as 7109LS but with a temporal horn.
* These units produce a non-temporal audible alarm and are therefore not intended for
locations where the desired action of the occupant(s) is evacuation.
** Per NFPA 72, the American National Standard Audible Emergency Evacuation Signal as
defined in ANSI S3.41, is required whenever the intended response is to evacuate the
building.
NOTICE: VISUAL SIGNALS ARE ONLY ONE METHOD OF ALERTING THE HEARING
IMPAIRED. NOT ALL HEARING IMPAIRED INDIVIDUALS WILL BE ALERTED BY VISUAL
SIGNALS.
NOTICE: LOSS OF ELECTRICAL INPUT WILL CAUSE THE SMOKE ALARM NOT TO
FUNCTION. FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY YOU SHOULD INSTALL BOTH BATTERY OPERATED
AND AC POWERED SMOKE ALARMS.

Under normal conditions, the light generated by the pulsing infrared LED is not
seen by the light sensor, as it is positioned out of the direct path of the light beam.
When smoke enters the sensing chamber, light from the pulsing LED light source is
reflected by the smoke particles onto the photodiode light sensor. At the first sighting
of smoke, the smoke alarm is put into a pre-alarm mode. This is indicated by a
rapidly flashing LED on the face of the smoke alarm. Once the light sensor confirms
smoke for 2 consecutive pulses inside the chamber, the light sensor produces the
signal necessary to trigger the smoke alarm.
This technique of verifying the smoke condition, combined with a 5-to-1 signal-to-
noise ratio, substantially reduces the possibility of nuisance alarms.
HOW TO TELL IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM IS WORKING
PROPERLY
 Your smoke alarm is provided with an alarm horn and pulsating Light Emitting
(indicator) Diode, which pulses every 15-30 seconds and a green AC power on
LED.
 When turning the test knob on the alarm to TEST 1, the red light will flash rapidly,
the horn will sound and the visual signal will flash.
Visual signal will not operate without AC power
 If the battery is low or missing, a chirp will be emitted when the red LED flashes.
If the smoke alarm is malfunctioning, the chirp will sound between the red LED
flashes. If AC power fails, the green LED will turn off.
 The test knob of your smoke alarm simulates actual smoke conditions.
NOTE: TANDEM INTERCONNECT MODELS
 When testing one smoke alarm, the smoke alarm that is activated will flash the red
indicator light and sound its alarm horn. All other units will sound the alarm horn
with their red indicator lights remaining off.
FIRE PROTECTION PLAN: WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE
YOUR FAMILY SAFE FROM FIRES
This smoke alarm can quickly alert you to the presence of smoke; but cannot
prevent fire. The ultimate responsibility for fire protection rests solely on you.
Installing smoke alarms is just the first step in protecting your family from fires. You
also must reduce the chances that fires will start in your home and increase your
chances of safely escaping if one does start. To have an effective fire safety program:
a. Install smoke alarms properly following the instructions in this manual.
Keep your smoke alarms clean. Test your devices weekly and have unit
repaired or replace unit when it no longer functions. As with any electronic
product, smoke alarms have a limited life, and devices that don't work cannot
protect you.
b. Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations:
 Use smoking materials properly; never smoke in bed.
 Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
 Store flammable materials in proper containers and never use them near open
flames or sparks.

PHOTOELECTRIC TYPE COMMERCIAL & COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL SMOKE ALARMS
FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED, AC POWERED WITH BATTERY BACKUP, 120VAC/9VDC
HOW YOUR SMOKE ALARM WORKS
These smoke alarms operate on the photoelectric light scatter principle. The unit's
sensing chamber houses a light source and a light sensor.
The darkened sensing chamber is exposed to the atmosphere and designed to
permit optimum smoke entry from any direction while rejecting light from outside the
smoke alarm.
The light source is an infrared (invisible) LED which pulses every 4-8 seconds.
The light sensor is a photodiode matched to the light frequency of the LED light
source.
