- Page 2 What smoke detectors can do: Smoke detectors are designed to provide early warning of developing fires at a reasonable cost. They monitor the air and can sense smoke and can provide precious minutes for you and your family to escape before a fire spreads.
- Page 3 Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, detectors should be placed in each bedroom as well as in the common hallway between them.
- Page 4 can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn you about fired caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
- Page 5 minimum recommendations is one detector on each level of a building and one in every sleeping area. See how this recommendation applies in the figures below. • Put a smoke detector in the hallway outside of every separate bedroom area. See figure 1. Two detectors are required in homes with two bedroom areas.

- Page 8 • Put a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door, or the alarm may not wake the sleeper if the door is closed. • Put detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not practical, put the detector on the ceiling, but no closer than 4 inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner.
- Page 9 No closer than 4 inch Best in Dead (10 cm) from side wall center of ceiling Space Mount on wall at least 4 inch (10 cm) from ceiling No more than 6 inches (15 cm) from ceiling Best location Acceptable location Figure 4: recommended smoke detector mounting locations.
- Page 10 as long as no other door or other obstructions block the path of smoke to the detector. • In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, mount detectors within 3 feet (0.9 meters) measured horizontally from the highest point of the ceiling. See figure 5.
- Page 11 This detector will provide maximum protection when installed in compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Standard NFPA 72, household fire warning equipment, defines the NFPA requirements for fire protection in private residence. This standard states that smoke detectors must be mounted in the following locations: “Smoke detectors 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...

- Page 13 • In damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers. The moisture in humid air can enter the sensing chamber as water vapor, and will cool and condense into droplets that cause a nuisance alarm. Install detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from bathrooms. •...
- Page 14 The transmitter will send alarm condition messages to the system’s receiver. Refer to the wireless system’s instructions for the maximum number of transmitters that can be supported. The Model #SD4-SS incorporates a state of the art optical sensing chamber and an advanced microprocessor. The microprocessor allows...
- Page 15 This includes cleaning, maintenance or screen replacement. The Model #SD4-SS contains a piezoelectric horn which generates the ANSI S3.41 temporal pattern in an alarm condition. During an alarm condition, pressing the detector’s test switch will silence the piezoelectric horn for 5 minutes.

In addition, the red LED of the Model #SD4-SS will blink every 45 seconds and the test switch will be disabled. This condition will exist for a minimum of 7 days, and then the detector’s horn will “chirp”...
- Page 18 batteries maybe purchased from a local hardware store. Battery Installation and Replacement To replace the battery: 1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise. Remove the battery and dispose of it properly. 2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing new battery.

- Page 24 If the detector is within the listed sensitivity limits, the LED on the detector should blink once per second and the horn should sound within 3 seconds. B. Smoke Entry Test Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms.
