First Alert SA3210A User manual

SMOKE ALARM
First Alert Model No. SA3210A (Cat. 1039840) is a sealed 3V
lithium power single station photoelectric and ionization dual
sensor smoke alarm specifically designed for residential and
institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals,
hotels, motels, dormitories and other multi-family dwellings
as defined in standard NFPA 101. Model SA3210A complies
with ULC S531, NFPA 72, HUD, FHA and other agencies that
model their codes after the above agencies. It meets building
codes where tamperproof 10-year sealed lithium photoelectric
and ionization combination smoke alarms are required.
First Alert SA3210A is a state-of-the-art battery powered
smoke alarm that features both photoelectric and ionization
smoke sensing technologies, a sealed 10-year lithium power
cell that is permanently installed, a full function test switch, a
silence feature to silence unwanted nuisance alarms, a LED
light that indicates DC power or alarm. The low power warning
indicator will cause the alarm to “chirp” when it reaches the end
of its service life and needs to be replaced. Upon end of life,
the unit meets ULC requirements for disabling the alarm and
non-reinstallation of unit to mounting bracket. It also features
a tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm to the mounting
bracket to prevent removal of alarm. Perfect for apartment,
dormitory or hotel applications. Designed for wall or ceiling
mounting. Includes mounting anchors and screws. Installation
is quick, easy and cost effective.
10-YEAR LITHIUM POWER
10 years of continuous protection under normal
operating conditions. No battery change required.
Provides audible notice when alarm has reached its
end of life.
TAMPERPROOF SEALED ALARM
Powercell cannot be removed.
PHOTO/ION SENSORS
Dual Photoelectric & Ionization sensing technologies
for optimal sensing of smoke particles produced in
both flaming and smoldering fires.
SILENCE FEATURE
Silences nuisance alarms.
TAMPER RESISTANT
Locks alarm to mounting bracket. Perfect for
apartment, dormitory or hotel applications.
END OF LIFE SIGNAL

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECS
The smoke alarm shall be a First Alert Model SA3120A (Cat. 1039840) and shall
provide at a minimum the following features and functions::
1. Two separate smoke sensing chambers - photoelectric and ionization.
2. The unit shall be capable of self restoring.
3. A fully screened sensing chambers to resist entry of small insects thereby
reducing the probability of unwanted alarms.
4. Powered by a sealed 10-year lithium powercell with a tamperproof design. The
tamperproof design shall not allow the powercell to be removed. A low power
warning indicator shall cause the alarm to “chirp” when it reaches the end of
its service life and needs to be replaced. Upon end of life, the unit shall meet
UL requirements for disabling the alarm and the non-reinstallation of unit to
mounting bracket.
5. A visual LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power or is in alarm.
6. A full function test button. The test button should check all alarm functions by
stimulating the chamber to simulate a smoke condition, causing the unit to alarm.
The unit should also have a silence feature to silence unwanted nuisance alarms.
7. A tamper resistant locking pin that locks alarm to the mounting bracket to prevent
removal of alarm.
8. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C)
and relative humidity between 10% and 95%.
9. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall or ceiling
mounting.
10. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of ULC S531, HUD, NFPA72,
NFPA 101, and ICC.
11. The unit shall have an “End of Life” signal. This signal should be capable of
temporarily being silenced for up to 2 days. After about 2 days, the signal will
resume. After about 2-3 weeks the signal cannot be silenced.
