Smoke Alarm
Th smok alarm monitors th air for products of
combustion that ar produc d wh n som thing is burning
or smold ring. Wh n smok particl s in th smok s nsor

warning syst m will sound, and b accompani d by th
flashing r d LED light. Th smok alarm tak s pr c d nc
wh n both smok and carbon monoxid ar pr s nt.
NFPA 72 stat s: Lif saf ty from fir in r sid ntial
occupanci s is bas d primarily on arly notification to
occupants of th n d to scap , follow d by th
appropriat gr ss actions by thos occupants. Fir warning
syst ms for dw lling units ar capabl of prot cting about
half of th occupants in pot ntially fatal fir s. Victims ar
oft n intimat with th fir , too old or young, or physically

For th s p opl , oth r strat gi s such as prot ction-in-

• Smok alarms ar d vic s that can provid arly warning
of possibl fir s at a r asonabl cost; how v r, alarms
hav s nsing limitations. Ionization s nsing alarms may
d t ct invisibl fir particl s (associat d with fast flaming
fir s) soon r than photo l ctric alarms. Photo l ctric
s nsing alarms may d t ct visibl fir particl s (associat d
with slow smold ring fir s) soon r than ionization alarms.
Hom fir s d v lop in diff r nt ways and ar oft n unpr -
dictabl . For maximum prot ction, Kidd r comm nds
that both Ionization and Photo l ctric alarms b install d.
• A batt ry-pow r d alarm must hav a batt ry of th
sp cifi d typ , in good condition and install d prop rly.
• Smok alarms must b t st d r gularly to mak sur th
batt ri s and th alarm circuits ar in good op rating

• Smok alarms cannot provid an alarm if smok do s not

• Th us of alcohol or drugs may also impair on ’s ability
to h ar th smok alarm. For maximum prot ction, a

• Although smok alarms can h lp sav liv s by providing
an arly warning of a fir , th y ar not a substitut for an
insuranc policy. Hom own rs and r nt rs should hav

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
Th carbon monoxid (CO) alarm monitors th air for th
pr s nc of CO. It will alarm wh n th r ar high l v ls of
CO pr s nt, and wh n th r ar low l v ls of CO pr s nt
ov r a long r p riod of tim . Wh n a CO condition

CAUTION: This alarm will only in icate the
presence of carbon monoxi e gas at the sensor.
Carbon monoxi e gas may be present in other areas.
Individuals with m dical probl ms may consid r using
warning d vic s which provid audibl and visual signals for

Installation Guide:
IMPORTANT: THIS ALARM MUST BE MOUNTED ON A
CEILING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS A
TABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!
A. Recommen e Installation Locations:
Kidd r comm nds th
installation of a Smok /CO
Alarm in th following loca-
tions. For maximum prot c-
tion w sugg st an alarm b
install d on ach l v l of a
multil v l hom , including
v ry b droom, hallways,
finish d attics and
bas m nts. Put alarms at
both nds of b droom,
hallway or larg room if hall-
way or room is mor than 30
ft (9.1m) long. If you hav
only on alarm, nsur it is plac d in th hallway outsid of
th main sl ping ar a, or in th main b droom. V rify th
alarm can b h ard in all sl ping ar as.
Locat an alarm in v ry room wh r som on sl ps with
th door clos d. Th clos d door may pr v nt an alarm not
locat d in that room from waking th sl p r. Smok , h at
and combustion products ris to th c iling and spr ad
horizontally.
Mounting th alarm on th c iling in th c nt r of th
room plac s it clos st to all points in th room. C iling
mounting is pr f rr d in ordinary r sid ntial construction.
Wh n mounting an alarm on th c iling, locat it at a
minimum of 4” (10cm) from th sid wall (s figur 1). If
installing th alarm on th wall, us an insid wall with th
top dg of th alarm at a minimum of 4” (10cm) and a
maximum of 12” (30.5cm) b low th c iling (s figur 1).

Th following information is from th National Fir
Prot ction Association and is list d in Fir Cod 72. Install
Smok Alarms on slop d, p ak d or cath dral c ilings at, or
within 3 ft (0.9m) of th high st point (m asur d

Mobile Homes:
Mod rn mobil hom s hav b n d sign d and built to b

pr viously (r f r to R comm nd d Installation Instructions
and figur 1). In old r mobil hom s that ar not w ll
insulat d, xtr m h at or cold can b transf rr d from th
outsid to th insid through poorly insulat d walls and
roof. This may caus a th rmal barri r, which can pr v nt
smok from r aching an alarm mount d on th c iling. In
such mobil hom s install your Smok /CO Alarm on an
insid wall with th top dg of th alarm at a minimum of
4 inch s (10cm) and a maximum of 12 inch s (30.5cm)
b low th c iling (S figur 1). If you ar not sur about
th insulation in your mobil hom , or if you notic that th
out r walls and c iling ar ith r hot or cold, install your
alarm on an insid wall ONLY!
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCOR-
DANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72 (National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
