  • 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: Avoid These Locations

    • Locate at least one smoke alarm on every floor level. • Locate a smoke alarm in any area where a smoker sleeps or where electrical appliances are operated in sleeping areas. • Smoke, heat and other combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.

  • Page 4: Early Warning

    • in areas of turbulent air such as air returns or heating and cooling supply vents, smoke alarms shall not be located where airflow prevents smoke from reaching the alarms. • in extremely dusty, dirty or insect-infested areas. Loose particles interfere with smoke alarm operation. •...

  • Page 5: Operation, Testing & Maintenance

    OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the battery power is connected by removing the PULL-TAB. When products of combustion are sensed, the alarm sounds a loud alarm which continues until the air is cleared. This alarm incorporates the NFPA recognized horn signal for evacuation. During alarm mode, the horn produces three long beeps followed by a two second pause and then continually repeats.

    NOTE: If the Test button is pressed and held during the Silence mode, the smoke alarm will be tested normally. Upon the release of the Test button, the Silence mode will be restarted. Before using the alarm Silence Feature, identify the source of smoke and be certain that safe conditions exist.
