TEST SYSTEM LOW BATTERY CONDITION

When the alarm detects a low battery, the sounder will chirp and the

red LED will blink every 45 seconds. The green LED will be off. Pressing

the test switch will silence the chirp for 12 hours but will not affect the

LEDs. During this silence period, the test switch is disabled. If an alarm

condition occurs while the detector is in this chirp silence mode, the alarm

will sound. Once the alarm condition has been removed and the detector

returns to the standby state, the low battery chirp will resume every 45

seconds.

STANDARD FOR ALARM LOCATION

The smoke alarm should be installed in accordance with National Fire

Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72, which reads as follows:

2-1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each

separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms

and on each additional story of the family living unit including

basements and excluding crawl spaces and unﬁ nished attics.

In new construction, a smoke alarm shall be installed in each

sleeping room.

2-1.1.2 For family living units with one or more split levels (i.e.,

adjacent levels with less than one full story separation between

levels), a smoke alarm required by 2-1.1.1 shall sufﬁ ce for an

adjacent lower level, including basements. (Exception: Where

there is an intervening door between one level and the adjacent

lower level, a smoke alarm shall be installed on the lower level.)

✔ Ceiling mounted smoke alarms should be located in the center of

the room or hall, or not less than 4 inches from any wall. When the

alarm is mounted on a wall, the top of the alarm should be 4 to 12

inches from the ceiling.

✔ Do not install smoke alarms where normal ambient temperatures

are above 100°F (37.8°C), or below 40°F (4°C). Also, do not

locate alarm in front of air conditioners, heating registers, or

other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke from

entering the detector.

A-2.5.2.1 Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The

required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning

protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected

by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the

householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas

for increased protection. The additional areas include the basement,

bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not

protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms

in kitchens, attics (ﬁ nished or unﬁ nished), or garages is not normally

recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions

that can result in improper operation.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the

combination has been evaluated and found suitable for the purpose.

The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence

of ﬁ re in its early stages, and sound an alarm giving the occupants

more time to exit the premise before the smoke reaches a dangerous

concentration level.

Fires start even with the best of housekeeping and ﬁ re prevention

procedures. Fire is an unexpected event. Early warning detection alerts

occupants in time to act.

KNOW FIRE HAZARDS. No detection device can protect life in all

situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid such potentially

dangerous situations as: smoking in bed, leaving children home alone,

cleaning with ﬂ ammable liquids such as gasoline.

The best ﬁ re protection is minimizing ﬁ re hazards through proper storage

of materials and general good housekeeping techniques. A cluttered

basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to ﬁ re.

Careless use of combustible materials and electrical appliances, or

overloading of electrical outlets are other prime causes in starting ﬁ res.

It is most important that explosive and/or fast burning materials be

eliminated from the home, if at all possible.

Even after proper precautions have been taken, ﬁ res can start. Be

prepared.

FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE

IN CASE OF FIRE. Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search

for valuables. In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low - crawl if

necessary. The clearest air is usually at the ﬂ oor.

If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and

door knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem relatively cool,

brace your foot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the

door and one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of

hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented ﬁ re tends to

build up considerable pressure. Be sure all the household realizes and

understands this danger.

Use your neighbor’s phone or a street ﬁ re alarm box. The job of

extinguishing the ﬁ re should be left to the professionals. Too many

unforeseen things can occur when inexperienced people try to extinguish

a ﬁ re.

BE PREPARED. Perform ﬁ re drills regularly. Use them to assure

recognition of an alarm signal. For your protection, simulate different

circumstances (smoke in hall, in living room, etc.). Then have everyone

react to the situation.

Draw a ﬂ oor plan and show two exits from each room. Frequently a knotted

rope or ladder from a window will serve this purpose. It is important that

children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of

crisis.

It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established.

You should insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will

eliminate the tragedy of someone re-entering the house for a missing

member who is actually safe.

If you have children and/or invalids residing in your household, you can

help your ﬁ re department. Most ﬁ re departments have window decals

available for use in children’s or invalid’s bedrooms. Properly used, these

decals will quickly identify sleeping quarters of these individuals and show

the ﬁ re department where to look ﬁ rst for members of your household.

IMPORTANT!!!

Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ﬁ ll an important need in portable

wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.

✶ For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules

and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter

power and therefore limited range.

✶ A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time

and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating

frequencies, regardless of code settings.

✶ Changes or modiﬁ cations to the device may void FCC compliance.

✶ Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against

undetected interference or fault.

✶ A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting

as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated

to the ultimate users.
