Smoke Detector
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation and
maintenance of the smoke detector. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment
and save this manual for future reference.
WARNING
SThis smoke detector uses a high technology electronic chamber. All repairs and service
should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
SThe smoke detector is not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. In addition, it is
possible for the smoke detector to fail at any time.
CAUTION
Avoid placing the smoke detector in the following locations:
SIn front of forced air ducts used for heating and air conditioning and other high air flow
areas.
SIn the peak of an “A” frame type of ceiling.
SIn areas where temperatures may fall below 4°C (40°F) or rise above 38°C (100°F).
SIn dusty areas (dust particles may cause the smoke detector to set off a false alarm or the
smoke detector may fail to alarm).
SIn very humid areas (moisture can cause the smoke detector to set off a false alarm).
SNear electrical lights (electrical “noise” from the lights may cause a nuisance alarm). Place
the smoke detector at least 1.5m (5 ft) from such lights.
The smoke detector is a device that works with the Eaton Powerware
Environmental Rack Monitor (ERM) and connects to the TH-Module.
Through the ERM, the user can monitor if there is smoke. The smoke
detector is powered by 110 Vac/220 Vac and uses a 9-volt battery as a
back-up power supply. AC/DC smoke detectors offer added protection in
the event of a power failure or a drained battery.
There are two types of smoke detectors:
SType A - AC110V, DC9V Battery with a NEMA Plug
SType B - AC220V, DC9V Battery with an IEC Plug

Recommended Location of Smoke Detectors
SInstall the smoke detector on the ceiling or wall closest to the
detected area.
SMount the smoke detector on the ceiling close to the rack or chassis.
SLocate a detector in every room where electrical appliances are
operated (i.e., portable heaters or humidifiers).
SWhen mounting the smoke detector on the ceiling, place it at a
minimum of 10 cm (4”) from the side wall and 61 cm (2 ft) from any
corner.
SIf ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by
your local and state codes, place the smoke detector on the wall
10–15 cm (4–6”) from the ceiling.
Installation
To install the smoke detector:
1. Using the smoke detector’s base as a pattern, trace the outlines of
the two keyhole slots onto the mounting surface.
2. Drill a pilot hole in the center of the small end of each keyhole slot
in the mounting surface.
3. Insert and tighten mounting screws into the pilot holes until they
are approximately 1/8”from the mounting surface.
4. Mount the smoke detector base. Verify that the screws are
positioned in the small ends of the keyholes and tighten the
screws.
5. Have a qualified electrician connect the smoke detector to AC
power.
6. Snap the 9V battery connectors to the battery wire clip and insert
the battery into the battery holder.
7. Attach the smoke detector cover to the base by turning it clockwise
until it latches. The smoke detector is now operating.
NOTE The smoke detector cover will not attach to the base unless a battery is installed.

8. Push and hold the test button for approximately two seconds to
test the smoke detector. The smoke detector sounds a loud
pulsating alarm.
If the alarm does not sound, replace the battery.
9. Loosen the screws on the TH-Module (see Figure 1).

10. Connect the blue and orange wires of the smoke detector to the
TH-Module alarm 1 or alarm 2 connectors, then tighten the
TH-Module screws (see Figure 2).

14. Verify that the ERM is connected to the network. Open the ERM
Web page and select Monitoring, then TH-Module-1 Setup or TH-Module-2
Setup. The setup screen displays (see Figure 5).
15. Change the status of the TH-Module from “Disable” to “Auto” on
the Device Name line. Verify that the TH-Module LED
(Power/Status) is flashing.
16. Set the status of alarm 1 and/or alarm 2 to “Normal Close” and
select “Smoke Alarm.”
17. Select Set Value to confirm the smoke detector setup.

18. When the sensor detects smoke, the ERM Web page displays the
alarm. The Web page for the alarm table and sensor events also
records the alarm.

Testing
Test the smoke detector weekly to assure proper operation. To test the
smoke detector you can push and hold the test button for approximately
two seconds or blow smoke directly into the smoke detector. The
smoke detector sounds a loud pulsating alarm. If the alarm does not
sound, replace the battery.
Erratic noise or low sound from the smoke detector may indicate a
defective detector. Return the smoke detector for service.

False Alarms
The smoke detector is designed to minimize false alarms. Smoking
does not normally set off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into
the smoke detector. If the smoke detector does alarm, check for fires
first. If a fire is discovered, leave immediately and call the fire
department. If no fire is present, check the smoke detector and the
surrounding area to verify that the smoke detector was installed in the
proper manner.
Resetting the Smoke Detector
To reset the smoke detector after a false alarm, press the test button
once.
Maintenance
The smoke detector is virtually maintenance free. However, under dusty
conditions, a vacuum hose may be used to clear the sensing chamber of
dust. Do not remove the smoke detector’s cover when vacuum is used.
Replace the battery yearly. The smoke detector has a low battery
monitoring indicator which will “chirp” at approximately 20 second
intervals for a minimum of 7 days. Replace the battery when chirping
occurs.
