Page 22: Operating Principles Of Smoke Alarms
OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF SMOKE ALARMS IONISATION CHAMBER: A man-made radio-active element, Americium 241 is used in this design. This element ionises the air round it and as a result, excellent conductivity is possible refer to illus- tration showing ‘Clear Air’). Current supplied by either the mains power (where appli- cable), or the battery would pass through the gap with ease without causing any alarm. -
Page 23: Develop And Practice A Plan Of Escape
OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF SMOKE ALARMS PHOTOELECTRIC CHAMBER: A light transmission source and a photosensitive receiver is used in this design. Light that is transmitted fall upon the receiver. When smoke or dust enters the light path, some of the light is scattered or absorbed. The result of a reduction of light falling upon the photosensitive receiver will cause an alarm. -
Page 24: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE 14.5 Practice a fire drill at least every six months including drills at nights. Prac- tice allows you to test your plan before an emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important that they know what to do! 14.6 Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and garage. -

Questions and answers
Alarm keeps going off. I have changed the battery also held down the reset the red alarm light is on permanently
If the Lifesaver LIF5000 alarm keeps going off and the red alarm light is permanently on, it indicates the presence of combustion products. Press the "HUSH" button to temporarily desensitize the alarm for about 5 minutes. Note that dense smoke will override the hush function. Check for actual smoke sources and ventilate the area. If no fire is present, consider relocating the alarm from areas with high dust, humidity, or airflow, which can cause false alarms.

My alarm went off for no reason. I changed battery and it was ok for a while and then alarm sounded again. I pushed hush and it stopped. However, it went off again early hours of the morning. I have taken both alarms off. Thanks.
The Lifesaver LIF5000 alarm could be going off unexpectedly after changing the battery due to several possible reasons:
1. Humidity, dust, or dirt can cause false alarms by interfering with the sensor.
2. Insects or spiders inside the unit may trigger the alarm.
3. Improper battery installation or a low-quality battery may cause malfunction.
4. The alarm may be faulty or nearing the end of its life.
5. Residual smoke or particles in the air can activate the alarm if not fully cleared.
Ensure the alarm is clean, properly installed, and placed in a suitable environment.
