requirements, including ULC STD S531 and are designed to
detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying num-
ber and size are produced in all fires.
Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than pho-
to-electric technology at detecting small particles, which tend
to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which
consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly.
Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a waste-
basket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.
Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than
ionization technology at detecting large particles, which tend
to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which
may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources
of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or
bedding.
For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on
each level and in every bedroom of your home.
INTRODUCTION

eight hours before replacing low battery or silence an unwanted alarm
for several minutes.

rotation range to allow for perfect alignment.
Dust Cover is included to keep the alarm clean during construction.
Easy Installation/Maintenance features include a large opening in
the mounting bracket for easy access to wiring. A battery pull tab that
keeps the battery fresh until the home is occupied. A Side Load Battery
Drawer allows for easy battery replacement without removing the alarm
from the ceiling or wall.
End of Life Signal. Provides audible confirmation alarm needs to be
replaced.
Improved UV Resistance keeps the alarm from discoloring over time.
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.
• This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents.
It is recommended that you install special units which use
devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired
residents.
• Installation of this unit must conform to the electrical
codes in your area; Articles 210 and 300.3 (B) of NFPA 70
(NEC), NFPA 72, NFPA 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO); NBC
(BOCA); OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or building
codes that may apply. Wiring and installation must be
performed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in injury or property damage.
• This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC pure sine
wave 60Hz 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.
• This Alarm must have AC or battery power to operate.
If the AC power fails, battery back-up will allow the alarm
to sound for at least 4 minutes. If AC power fails and the
battery is weak, protection should last for at least 7 days.
If AC power fails and the battery is dead or 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 bat-
tery
operated unit to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cook-
ing smoke, etc.). Instead open a window or fan the smoke
away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.
• Connect this unit ONLY to other compatible units. See
"How To Install This Smoke Alarm" for details. Do not
connect it to any other type of alarm or auxiliary device.
Connecting anything else to this unit may damage it or
prevent it from operating properly.
• This Smoke/CO Alarm has a battery drawer which resists
closing unless a battery is installed. This warns you the
unit will not operate under DC power without a battery.
• Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm
is sounding. It is loud to wake you in an emergency.
Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your hear-
ing.
• Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the
sensing chambers and prevent the unit from operating properly.
