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: Wiring Instructions

/ event or heat alarm / event initiates the alarm. All CO alarms remain silent. Note that smoke alarms without battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure. NOTE: Relay Modules/USI-960 will not respond if a CO alarm / event initiates the alarm. 120 VAC 60Hz 100mA Max.
Page 7: Quick Find ® Alarm Originating Feature & Reset
NUISANCE ALARMS: The smoke alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Smoking will not normally set off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into the smoke alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the smoke alarm is located close to the kitchen cooking surface.
