P/N 466-5308 • REV A • ISS 09MAY17 ©2017 United Technologies Corporation
Thank you for purchasing this Interlogix smoke detector
This model is powered by a non-replaceable, long life sealed lithium battery system, and
includes SMART HUSH®Control to temporarily silence nuisance alarms. It is capable of
Wireless Interconnect with compatible units, and can also communicate with an appropriate
panel.
READ SECTION 9: Installation / Activation / Wireless, before powering the units.
You do NOT need a home wi-fi system to use these units. Multiple wireless units
create their own independent wireless detector network.
Teach children how to respond to the alarm and that they should never play with the unit. Your
Interlogix smoke detector was designed for use in a residential environment. It is not designed
for use in a recreational vehicle (RV) or boat.
NOTE: Please thoroughly read this user guide and save the document for future reference and
to pass on to any subsequent owner.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the manufacturer recommend replacing
this detector ten years from the date code on back of the detector.

1. Smoke Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds
Smoke alarm pattern is three long beeps, a 1.5 second pause, and three long beeps repeating.
The red LED blinks in time with alarm pattern.
•Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the
importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help.
•Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed or
picking up valuables.
•In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping
through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool,
place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
•If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, stay close to the floor where the air is cleaner.
Crawl if necessary, and breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
•Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
•Call the fire department from your cell phone outside, or from your neighbor’s home-not from yours!
•Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
•There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the
NFPA Standard 72. For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the
Alarm Sounds
NOTE: This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, but will receive and transmit a CO alarm signal
(four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds) from an interconnected CO or combination smoke /
CO alarm/detector.
Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED
blinks in time with alarm pattern.
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM ACTIVATION INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WHICH CAN KILL YOU.
1) Operate the Test/Hush button. NOTE: Pressing the button on the initiating alarm unit (green LED flash-
ing every second) will silence the alarm notification, including all interconnected units. If the unit goes
into alarm mode again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a
dangerous situation.
2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911).
EMERGENCY PHONE #: _______________________
3) Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door / window. Do a head count to check that
all persons are accounted for. Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have
difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area
without help. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergen-
cy services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its
normal condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a
qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances,
and to inspect for proper operation of equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any com-
bustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact
the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, or have not been, operating in a garage attached or adjacent to the residence. Never
restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

5. Introduction, Product Features and Specifications
Introduction
The Interlogix SDX-135Z supervised photoelectric smoke detector with heat and freeze sensors is a
self-diagnostic Learn Mode detector with wireless interconnection, 10-yr sealed battery and sensor
life, built-in sounder, diagnostic/status LED, integrated fixed temperature and rate-of-rise heat sensor
and a pre-freeze condition indicator.
The SDX-135Z uses a 319.5MHz transmitter for communication to the control panel and a 915MHz
transceiver for interconnection communication between networked detectors. Up to 24 detectors can
be a part of the same interconnected network. The dual transmitter design ensures interconnection
integrity is maintained independent of control panel status. Because of this unique design the SDX-
135Z is multi-listed to UL217, UL268, and ULC-S531 requirements.
The SDX-135Z wireless smoke detector with heat and freeze sensor is compatible with Simon XTi-5
and Advisor One Interlogix Learn Mode panels. Refer to control system / panel installation instruc-
tions for compatible panel information.
The SDX-135Z uses 10-year sealed-in lithium batteries ensuring continuous operation over the 10
year life of the detector. This eliminates worry about battery removal or unauthorized deactivation
of the detector. The self-activation feature activates the detector when attached to the mounting
bracket. At the end of detector life, the unit will chirp and send communication back to control panel,
indicating the detector is in need of replacement (see Troubleshooting Guide).
To help identify the date to replace the detector, a label has been affixed to the side of the detector.
Write the “Install date” in the space provided, and then write in the “Replace by” date (10 years from
initial power up) in permanent marker on the label prior to installing the detector.
