1. WHAT TO DO IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS
Smoke alarm pattern: THREE LONG BEEPS REPEATING
1.1 What To Do In the Event of a Fire
1. Do not panic, stay calm.
2. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors to feel if they are hot before
opening. Use an alternate exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor and do not stop to collect
anything.
3. Meet at a pre arranged meeting place outside the building.
4. Call the fire department or 911 from outside the building.
5. Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for the fire department to arrive.
NOTE: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire, however, to reduce the chance
that fires will start, practice fire safety rules, and prevent hazardous situations.
Practice Fire Safety
If the smoke alarm sounds and you have not pushed the test button, it is warning of a
dangerous situation. Your immediate response is necessary. To prepare for such
occurrences, develop family escape plans, discuss them with all household members, and
practice them regularly.
1. Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm device and explain what the sound
means.
2. Determine two exits from each room and an escape route to the outside from each exit.
3. Teach all household members to touch the door and use an alternate exit when the door
is hot, instruct them not to open the door if the door is hot.
4. Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay below dangerous smoke,
fumes and gases.
5. Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside the building.
2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area where the smoke alarm is
installed before removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first
may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.
WARNING!
This unit will not alert hearing-impaired residents. It is recommended that you install
special units that use devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing-impaired
residents.
• This product is intended for use by ordinary indoor residents! It is not designed to
measure compliance with industrial standards. Installation of the alarm should not be
used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning
appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
• There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as
stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For instance:
a) Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming-initiated fire; for example, when a
person's clothes catch fire while cooking;
b) Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the smoke alarm due to a closed
door or other obstruction;
c) Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupants egress is blocked
even with properly located smoke alarms.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with smoke alarm guards unless the combination has
been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
• This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is
not designed to measure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
• This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120-volt, pure sine wave, 60 Hz circuit. Be sure
the circuit cannot be turned off by a switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter.
Failure to connect this unit to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant
protection. The unit may be connected to an arc-fault circuit interrupter.
• This smoke alarm must have AC or battery power to operate. If the AC power fails,
battery backup will allow the alarm to sound for at least 4 minutes. If AC power fails and
the battery is weak, protection should last for up to 7 days. If AC power fails and the
battery is missing, the alarm cannot operate.
• Never disconnect the power from an AC-powered unit to stop an unwanted alarm.
Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted
alarm, open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset
automatically when it returns to normal operation. Never remove the batteries from a
battery operated unit to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).
Instead, open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset
automatically.
• This smoke alarm will not protect against the risk of smoke poisoning when the battery
has drained.
• This device should be installed by a competent person.
1. The test button accurately tests the device's functions. Do not use any other test method.
Test the device weekly to ensure proper operation.
2. If you are sure it isn't a real alarm warning, open windows or fan the air around the device
to silence it.
3. Observe and follow all location and national electrical and building codes for installation.
4. This smoke alarm is designed to be used within a single family dwelling only. In multifamily
buildings, each individual living unit should have its own smoke alarm device. Do not install
in non-residential buildings. This device is not a substitute for a complete alarm system.
5. This smoke alarm can only sound its alarm when it detects a dangerous level of smoke in
the air. It does not sense smoke, heat, flame or other gases. The device is designed to give
audible warning of dangerous smoke.

3.1 Recommended Installation Locations
The following suggestions are intended to help you with the placement and installation of
your smoke alarm.
DINING KITCHEN BEDROOM BEDROOM
ROOM
LIVING
BEDROOM
ROOM
1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.
2) Outside each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 feet (6.4m) of any door to a
sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel.
3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.
4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including
basements, excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite.
6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care facility.
7) Smoke, heat and 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. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.
8) The device should be at least 6 feet (1.8m) above the floor level.
9) When mounting a device on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4 inches (10cm) from the
side wall.
10) When mounting the device on the wall, use an inside wall, with the top edge of the alarm
at a minimum of 4 inches (10cm) and a maximum of 12 inches (30.5cm) below the ceiling.
11) Install the device at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room, if the hallway or room
is more than 30 feet (9.1m) long.
12) Install the device on a sloped, peaked or cathedral ceiling at or within 3 feet (0.9m) of the
highest point (measured horizontally).
3.2 Locations to Avoid
To ensure the smoke alarm works properly and provides detection performance, do not
install the device in the following places:
1) Near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near
furnaces or hot water heaters). Install at least 10 feet away from these areas. Use a specialized
smoke alarm device with unwanted alarm control for these areas.
2) In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing
machines or directly above a sink. Install at least 10 feet away from these areas.
3) Avoid spraying aerosols near the device.
4) Next to a door or window, an extractor fan, air returns or heating and cooling supply vents.
Install at least 3 feet away from these areas. The air could blow smoke away from the device,
interrupting its alarm.
5) In rooms where temperatures may fall below 0°C or rise above 40°C, or the humidity is
higher than 93%. These conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm.
6) In extremely dusty, dirty or insect-infested areas, particles interfere with device operation.
7) In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.
8) In an enclosed space (for example, in a cupboard or behind a curtain).
9) Where it can be obstructed (for example, by furniture).
10) Less than 4 inches (10cm) from the peak of an "A" frame type ceiling.
11) Near fluorescent lights. Electronic "noise" may cause nuisance alarms.
12) Place the alarm out of the reach of children. Under no circumstances should children be
allowed to handle the device.
3.3 Wiring Requirements
1) This alarm should be installed on a UL-listed or recognized junction box. All connections
should be made by a qualified electrician, and the electrical wiring used shall be in
accordance with Articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA
70, NFPA 72) and/or any other codes having jurisdiction in your area. The multiple-station
interconnect wiring to the alarms must be run on the same raceway or cable as the AC power
wiring. In addition, the resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
2) The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an interconnected system
is 1,000 feet.
3) The appropriate power source is 120 volt AC single phase supplied from a non-switchable
circuit.
4) Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and
detector guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
WARNING!
The alarm cannot be operated with power derived from a square wave or modified
square wave. Wave, or modified sine wave, inverter. These types of inverters are
sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off-grid installations, such as solar or
wind-derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will
damage the alarm.
To reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms, the space in which the smoke alarm is located
should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are
used.

9) Rotate the alarm counterclockwise to install the alarm completely on the mounting
bracket.
STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:
• If you are only installing one smoke alarm, restore power to the junction box.
INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:
• If you are interconnecting multiple smoke alarms, repeat steps 1–9 for each smoke alarm
in the series. When you are finished, restore power to the junction box.
10) Turn on the AC power. The green LED will turn on when the alarm is operating from AC
power.
11) If the green power indicator light does not light, turn off power to the junction box and
recheck all connections. If all connections are correct and the green power indicator still
does not light when you restore the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.
12) Single station alarms: Test each smoke alarm. Press and hold the test button until the unit
alarms.
Interconnected alarms: Press and hold the test button until the unit sounds. All
interconnected alarms should sound. The other alarms sounding only tests the interconnect
signal among alarms. It does not test each alarm's operation. You must test each alarm
individually to check if the alarm works properly. If any unit in the series does not sound, turn
off power and recheck connections. If it does not sound when you restore power, replace it.
13) For new construction, place supplied dust cover over alarm to prevent damage from dust
and construction debris. When construction is complete, remove cover.
