  • 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

    • 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

    TROUBLE/SERVICE ALARM: If the smoke alarm beeps 3 times approx. every 40 seconds after the red LED flashes on and cannot be restored to normal operation, the smoke alarm should be replaced. END-OF-SERVICE LIFE NOTIFICATION: A majority of home fire deaths are a result of no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

  • Page 7: Battery Replacement

    The smoke alarm uses a 9 Volt battery. The battery should last for at least one year under normal operating conditions. The smoke alarm has a low battery indicator, an audible beep or chirp. It will operate at approx. 40 second intervals for a minimum of 7 days. When this indication occurs, replace the battery with an Alkaline type (Eveready Energizer #522, Duracell #MN1604) or Lithium type (Ultralife U9VL-J or Ultralife V9VL-J-P) from your local retailer.

  • Page 8: Operational Summary
