SMOKE ALARM LIMITATIONS AND FUNCTIONS            There are three basic smoke alarm types: IoPhic® , Ionization and Photoelectric. IoPhic® is an ionization alarm containing a patent-pending Universal Smoke Sensing Technology.

RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS • Locate the first smoke alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the escape route as the bedrooms are usually farthest from an exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional smoke alarms in each sleeping area. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a smoke alarm at each end. • Locate additional smoke alarms to protect any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
PAGE 4
AVOID THESE LOCATIONS • the garage – products of combustion are produced when you start your vehicle. • near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, gas hot water heaters). Use smoke alarms with photoelectric sensors or smoke alarms with Silence Feature for these areas. • in areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines. Install at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from these areas.

Connecting this yellow wire to any other circuits may result in damage and smoke alarm malfunction. When alarms are interconnected, all smoke alarms must be powered from a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases. The maximum wire run distance between the first and last alarm/device in an interconnected system is 1,000 feet.
