  • Page 2: Smoke Alarm Limitations And Functions

    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. ® IoPhic alarms are very effective at detecting fast flaming fires and also respond very quickly to slow smoldering fires - up to 87% faster than the maximum allowable alarm limit (UL217 Smoldering Smoke Test on 5/26/2010, Underwriters Laboratories Project #09CA38078).

  • Page 3: Recommended Location Of Alarms

    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.

  • Page 4: Avoid These Locations

    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.

  • Page 5: Operation, Testing & Maintenance

    TO DEACTIVATE THE LOCKING FEATURES: To remove the smoke alarm for cleaning or servicing or to replace the battery, you must first remove the appropriate locking pin, if it has been installed. Use long nose pliers to pull the locking pin out of the hole. It is now possible to remove the smoke alarm or replace the battery.

  • Page 6: Cautions/Warnings

    NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this smoke alarm. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the smoke alarm or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the smoke alarm's operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). If you choose to use an aerosol smoke product to test the smoke alarm, be certain to use one that has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
  • Page 7 WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS o Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables. o In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit.
