Photoelectric alarms are generally more effective at detecting
slow, smoldering fires that smolder for hours before bursting into
flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches
or bedding.
Ionization alarms are generally more effective at detecting
fast, flaming fires that consume combustible materials rapidly and
spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids or
paper burning in a waste container.
However, both types of alarms provide adequate detection of both types
of fires.
If you desire the earliest detection of both smoldering fires and fast
flaming fires, you should install smoke alarms that combine both
photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies in one unit.

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
●DO NOT remove or disconnect battery to quiet unwanted

fan the air around smoke alarm to silence it.
●The test button accurately tests all smoke alarm functions.
DO NOT use any other test method. Test smoke alarm
weekly to ensure proper operation.
●This smoke alarm should be installed only by a licensed,
qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and national
electrical and building codes for installation.

protection for buildings that require complete fire alarm
systems. Buildings of this type include hotels, motels,
dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, and group homes.
This is true even if they were once single family homes.
However, this smoke alarm MAY be used inside individual
rooms as SUPPLEMENTAL protection.
●Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of the
home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for many
reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the
home, on another level, in a chimney, wall, roof, or on the
other side of a closed door, smoke may not reach the
smoke alarm in time to alert household members. A smoke
alarm will not promptly detect a fire EXCEPT in the area or
room in which it is installed.
●Smoke alarms may not alert every household member every
time. The alarm horn is loud in order to alert individuals to a
potential danger. However, there may be limiting
circumstances where a household member may not hear the
alarm (i.e., outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or
alcohol usage, the hard of hearing, etc.).
This smoke alarm IS NOT designed to be the PRIMARY

04
If you suspect that this smoke alarm may not alert a
household member, install and maintain specialty smoke
alarms. Household members must hear the alarm's warning
sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk of damage,
injury, or death that may result from fire. If a household
member is hard of hearing, install special smoke alarms with
lights or vibrating devices to alert occupants.
●Smoke alarms can sound their alarms only when they detect
smoke. Smoke alarms detect combustion particles in the air.
They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm is
designed to give audible warning of a developing fire.
However, many fires are fast-burning, explosive, or
intentional. Others are caused by carelessness or safety
hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY
ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
●Smoke alarms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not
foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property
from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners and renters should insure their lives and
property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm to fail
at any time. For this reason, you must test the smoke alarm
weekly and replace every 10 years.

3. WHERE TO LOCATE
05
3.1 As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located between
sleeping areas and potential sources of fire such as living
rooms and kitchens. In single story homes with one sleeping
area, a smoke alarm should be installed in the hallway, as
close as possible to the living accommodation. To ensure
audibility in bedrooms, no smoke alarm should be further
away than 3m from any bedroom door. It may be necessary
to install more than one smoke alarm, particularly the
hallway is more than 15m long. In single story homes with
two separate sleeping areas, a minimum of two smoke
alarms is required, one outside each sleeping area. In
multilevel or split level homes, as a minimum a smoke alarm
should be installed on the ground floor between the staircase
and any rooms in which a fire might start and on each story
in circulation areas which form part of escape route (normally
hallways and landings).

06
3.2 Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in
anticipation of fires originating here, caused by faulty wiring,
lights, appliances, smokers or other hazards.
3.3 For best protection, smoke alarms should be installed in
every room in your home, apart from those listed in the
Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID. Heat alarms should be
used in kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages and
such like, where smoke alarms would be unsuitable.
3.4 Install smoke alarms in circulation areas at a distance no
greater than 7.5m from the farthest wall, no greater than
7.5m from a door to any room in which a fire might start and
no greater than 7.5m from the next smoke alarm.
3.5 As it is impossible to predict the source of a fire, the best
location for an alarm is usually the center of a room or
hallway. If it is necessary to place a smoke alarm on a wall,
always locate the detection element of the alarm 150mm to
300mm (6 to 12 inches) below the ceiling and the bottom of
the alarm above the level of doors and other openings.
