6. Install Smoke Sensors (cont'd)
Step 4. Pick smoke-detector location. Referring to
the NFPA standard on page 22, select a suita-
ble location to mount the ISEC-SMOKE.
Note: Mounting the ISEC-SMOKE on foil-
backed wallpaper is NOT recommended be-
cause the radio range will be reduced.
Step 5. Install mounting plate. Use the two screws
and anchors provided to attach the mounting plate
to the wall or ceiling.
Step 6. Map the ISEC-SMOKE Transmitter. Enter the
following:
 the zone to which the transmitter will be mapped;
 the 6-digit RF identification number/1-digit checksum
number printed on the transmitter (include all num-
bers and/or letters and leading zeros, if any); and
 the transmitter point number ("1").
NOTE: In fire alarm installations, the Hub must be
programmed to activate the fire alarm bells or horns upon
detection of a fire.

NOTE: Smoke detectors are not to be used with
detector guards unless the combination has been eval-
uated and found suitable for that purpose.
Silencing the Unit / Silence Mode
If the unit is in alarm due to a smoke condition, it will stop
sounding when the smoke condition has cleared. However, if
you want to temporarily silence the sounder, press and hold
the Test button for more than 10 seconds. During this Silence
Mode, the unit will not react to any smoke nor report any
alarms but will chirp every 30 seconds (without a simultaneous
LED flash) to remind you it is in Silence Mode. It will exit Si-
lence Mode after approximately 5 minutes or less on its own.
Note: If smoke is still present in the chamber after exiting
Silence mode, the detector will go into alarm again. CAU-
TION: When the unit is not in alarm, pressing the Test
button will transmit an alarm, activate the sounder and then
place the unit in Silence Mode if held for more than 10 sec-
onds. Once the unit enters Silence Mode, the Test button is
disabled until it exits Silence Mode on its own.
Low Battery Warning
Sounder chirps and the LED flashes simultaneously.
Maintenance Warning
The unit will warn that it must be cleaned when the unit chirps
(without a simultaneous LED flash) but the LED flashes be-
tween chirps. To clean, vacuum the outside of the unit at least
once a year (preferably every six months) using a soft brush
attachment. Do not attempt to clean the unit in any other way.
If this maintenance procedure fails to clean the unit sufficient-
ly, call for service and/or replace the unit.
Step 8. Test system weekly with unit mounted. If the
system is monitored, notify central station of impending
test. Press and hold the Test button for about 5 seconds
and release when the sounder turns on. While holding
the button down, the LED will start to flash rapidly indicat-
ing it is about to go into alarm. Do not hold the button
down longer than 10 seconds or you will Silence the unit
after the alarm is sounded (see Silencing the Unit / Si-
lence Mode at right). Verify that the ISEC-SMOKE
triggers the correct zone on the Hub and that the correct
report is sent to the central
station.
