Smoke Sensor 868 GEN2
Installation Instructions
Note: The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be
verified for a complete test of the system.
Smoke sensor limitations
Smoke sensors may not work under all conditions. Smoke
sensors cannot provide total protection of life or property and are
not a substitute for insurance. All smoke sensors are subject to
possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.
For example:
• This smoke sensor will not operate and an alarm will not
sound if its batteries are dead, removed, or not installed
correctly.
• Radio signals transmitted by this smoke sensor may be
blocked or reflected by metal objects. Adjacent devices or
systems using radio frequency signals may interfere with
the operation of this smoke sensor. Test the system weekly
to ensure signals are transmitted and received properly.
• Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block or
reduce the alarm sound from this smoke sensor. This smoke
sensor is not designed for the hearing impaired.
• Smoke sensors cannot detect smoke inside chimneys, walls,
roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door.
• Smoke sensors may not detect smoke on other levels of the
building.
• Smoke sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused
by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flamma-
bles, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous
conditions.
