1168 Wireless Smoke/CO/Low Temp Combo Detector Installation and Programming Guide 1
ABOUT THE 1168
The 1168 Wireless Smoke/CO/Low Temp Detector features multi-criteria smoke sensing
using a combination of photoelectric, heat, IR flame flicker, and carbon monoxide
indicators. The 1168 reports fire, CO, and low temp alarms to the control panel. Use the
onboard wireless transmitter to connect the 1168 with DMP1100Series Wireless Receivers.
INDICATOR LEDS
The 1168 has a multi-color top LED that
indicates the state of the device:
• GREEN—Supervisory indication; blinks
during power on, reset, and during
normal operation
• AMBER—Signal maintenance and
trouble events
• RED—Alarm (Smoke/CO/Low Temp)
Indicator lights on the side alarms (initiating
detector only):
• RED—Smoke
• BLUE—CO
POWER SUPPLY
The 1168 is powered by four 3.0V lithium
batteries. Battery life expectancy for the
unit is at least three years under normal
conditions.
VOICE ANNUNCIATION
The 1168 audibly announces alarm and
maintenance requirements, enhancing
occupant understanding and evacuation.
TAMPER MAGNET
The 1168 features a tamper magnet which
sends a trouble message to the panel if the
detector is removed from the mounting
base.
CADENCE SYNCHRONIZATION
The 1168 provides cadence synchronization
with other 1168 or 1164 units on the system.
LOW TEMP SENSOR
The 1168 includes a low temperature
sensor that causes an alarm when inside
temperature falls below 41°F (5°C).

SELECT A LOCATION
Use the LED survey operation to select a proper location for the 1168. The LED survey
operation allows one person to confirm communication with the wireless receiver or panel
while the cover is removed. Because the transmitter LED on the 1168 is not visible, use a
separate 1100 Series transmitter for the LED survey operation, such as the 1106 Universal
Transmitter.
1. Hold the 1106 in the exact desired location.
2. Press the tamper switch on the 1106 to send data to the panel and determine if
communication is confirmed or faulty.
Confirmed: If communication is confirmed, for each press or release of the
tamper switch the LED blinks immediately on and immediately o.
Faulty: If communication is faulty, the LED remains on for up to eight
seconds or flashes multiple times in a quick succession. Relocate the wireless
receiver until the LED confirms clear communication.

INSTALL THE 1168
MOUNT THE BASE
After selecting a location, mount the 1168 on a flat wall or ceiling. The ensure optimum
performance, mount the 1168 away from large metal objects. See Mounting Guidelines
for more information.
1. Grasp the detector and twist counterclockwise to remove the detector from
the mounting base. See Figure 2.
2. Use the supplied screws and anchors to mount the base to the surface. See
Figure3.

INSTALL THE BATTERY
The 1168 comes pre-installed with four 3.0V
lithium batteries. Firmly grasp the battery pull-tab
on the battery compartment and remove it. See
Figure4.
REPLACE THE COVER
After installing the battery, replace the cover back
on the base. Follow the directions below:
1. Place the detector on the base, aligning
the raised tab on the detector’s lip and the
cover latch on the base’s lip.
2. Rotate the detector until it clicks into
place.

MOUNTING GUIDELINES
In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance and
reduce false alarms. Refer to Figure5.
• Place ceiling-mounted smoke detectors in the center of a room or hallway at
least4inches from walls and partitions. If a ceiling is sloped, peaked, or gabled,
place the detector 3 feet from the highest-point. If mounting to suspended ceiling
tile, the tile must be secured with an appropriate fastener across ceiling panel
supports.
• Place wall-mounted smoke detectors at least 4 inches below the ceiling.
• Mount smoke detectors on a firm, permanent surface.
• Place in environmentally-controlled areas with a temperature
range between41°Fand 100°F (5°C and 37.8°C) and humidity
between0%and90%non-condensing.

1168 Wireless Smoke/CO/Low Temp Detector Installation and Programming Guide14
AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION
A proper location is critical to ensuring proper operation. Equipment should be installed
in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72,
Chapters2 and 8. You may need to reference other chapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101.
Smoke detector regulations vary from state to state, so contact the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a federal, state, local,
or other regional department or individual (such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire
prevention bureau, labor or health department, building ocial, electrical inspector, or
others having statutory authority.
For insurance purposes, an AHJ may be an insurance inspection department, rating
bureau, or other insurance company representative. Sometimes, a property owner or
their designated agent assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations, the
commanding ocer or department ocial may be the AHJ.

LOCATIONS TO AVOID
Smoke detectors should not be installed in or near the following locations:
• In or near areas where combustion particles are common (kitchens, garages,
furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters).
• On ceilings in rooms next to kitchens if there is no transom between the room and
the kitchen.
• In damp or humid areas, such as bathrooms with showers.
• In extremely cold or hot areas.
• In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
• Near air conditioners, heating registers, or any other ventilation source that may
interfere with smoke entering the detector.
• Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas (heating or air
conditioning vents, fans, etc.).
• In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or corners where walls and ceiling
meet.
• Near fluorescent light fixtures (smoke detectors should be at least 10 feet away).
