moke Alarm
The smoke alarm monitors the air for pro ucts of combustion
that are pro uce when something is burning or smol ering.
When smoke particles in the smoke sensor reach a specifie
concentration, the alarm/voice message warning system will
soun , an be accompanie by the flashing re LED light. The
smoke alarm takes prece ence when both smoke an carbon
monoxi e are present.
WARNING: PLEA E READ CAREFULLY AND
THOROUGHLY
NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in resi ential occupancies is
base primarily on early notification to occupants of the nee to
escape, followe by the appropriate egress actions by those
occupants. Fire warning systems for welling units are capable of
protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires.
Victims are often intimate with the fire, too ol or young, or
physically or mentally impaire such that they cannot escape
even when warne early enough that escape shoul be possible.
For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or
assiste escape or rescue are necessary.
• Smoke alarms are evices that can provi e early warning of
possible fires at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have
sensing limitations. Ionization sensing alarms may etect
invisible fire particles (associate with fast flaming fires) sooner
than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may
etect visible fire particles (associate with slow smol ering
fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires evelop in
ifferent ways an are often unpre ictable. For maximum
protection, Ki e recommen s that both Ionization an
Photoelectric alarms be installe .
• A battery powere alarm must have a battery of the specifie
type, in goo con ition an installe properly.
• Smoke alarms must be teste regularly to make sure the
batteries an the alarm circuits are in goo operating
con ition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provi e an alarm if smoke oes not
reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires
starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other si e of a
close oor or on a ifferent floor.

• If the alarm is locate outsi e the be room or on a ifferent
floor, it may not wake up a soun sleeper.
• The use of alcohol or rugs may also impair one’s ability to hear
the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm
shoul be installe in each sleeping area on every level of a
home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by provi ing an
early warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an
insurance policy. Home owners an renters shoul have
a equate insurance to protect their lives an property.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The Carbon Monoxi e (CO) alarm monitors the air for the
presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of CO
present, an when there are low levels of CO present over a
longer perio of time (see page 21 for alarm times). When a CO
con ition matches either of these situations, the alarm/voice
message warning system will soun , an be accompanie by the
flashing re LED light. The carbon monoxi e sensor uses an
electrochemical technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of
carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas.
In ivi uals with me ical problems may consi er using warning
evices which provi e au ible an visual signals for carbon
monoxi e concentrations un er 30 ppm.

Installation Guide:
I PORTANT: THIS ALAR UST BE OUNTED ON A
CEILING OR WALL. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE AS A
TABLETOP DEVICE! INSTALL ONLY AS DETAILED!
A. Recommended Installation Locations:
Ki e Safety recommen s the installation of a Smoke/CO Alarm
in the following locations. For maximum protection we suggest
an alarm be installe on each level of a multilevel home,
inclu ing every be room, hallways, finishe attics an
basements. Put alarms at both en s of be room, hallway or large
room if hallway or room is more than 30 ft (9.1m) long. If you
have only one alarm, ensure it is place in the hallway outsi e of
the main sleeping area, or in the main be room. Verify the alarm
can be hear in all sleeping areas.
Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the
oor close . The close oor may prevent an alarm not locate
in that room from waking the sleeper. Smoke, heat an
combustion pro ucts rise to the ceiling an sprea horizontally.
Mounting the alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room
places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is
preferre in or inary resi ential construction. When mounting an
alarm on the ceiling,
locate it at a minimum
of 4” (10cm) from the
si e wall (see figure
1). If installing the
alarm on the wall, use
an insi e wall with the
top e ge of the alarm
at a minimum of 4”
(10cm) an a maximum
of 12” (30.5cm) below
the ceiling (see figure
1).

Sloped Ceiling Installation:
The following information is from the National Fire Protection
Association an is liste in Fire Co e 72.
Install Smoke Alarms on slope , peake or cathe ral ceilings at,
or within 3 ft (0.9m) of the highest point (measure horizontally).
NFPA 72 states “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes
greater than 1 ft to 8 ft (.3 m-2.4 m) horizontally shall be locate
on the high si e of the room”.
NFPA 72 states “A row of alarms shall be space an locate
within 3 ft (0.9 m) of the peak of the ceiling measure
horizontally” (see figure 2).
Install Smoke Alarms on tray-shape ceilings (coffere ceilings)
on the highest portion of the ceiling or on the slope portion of
the ceiling within 30.5 cm (12”) vertically own from the highest
point (see figure 2).
obile Homes:
Mo ern mobile homes have been esigne an built to be
energy efficient. Install Smoke/CO alarms as recommen e
above (refer to Recommen e Installation Instructions an figure
1). In ol er mobile homes that are not well insulate , extreme

heat or col can be transferre from the outsi e to the insi e
through poorly insulate walls an roof. This may cause a
thermal barrier, which can prevent smoke from reaching an alarm
mounte on the ceiling. In such mobile homes install your
Smoke/CO Alarm on an insi e wall with the top e ge of the
alarm at a minimum of 4 inches (10cm) an a maximum of 12
inches (30.5cm) below the ceiling (see figure 2). If you are not
sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice
that the outer walls an ceiling are either hot or col , install your
alarm on an insi e wall ONLY!
THIS EQUIP ENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S
STANDARD 72 (National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, A 02269).
B. Where Not to Install:
Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms or
bathrooms! INSTALL AT LEAST 5 FEET AWAY FRO ANY
FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
Do not install within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: The oor to a
kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower, force air
supply ucts use for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house
ventilating fans, or other high air areas. Avoi excessively usty,
irty or greasy areas. Dust, grease or househol chemicals can
contaminate the alarm's sensors, causing it to not operate
properly.
Place the alarm where rapes or other objects will not block the
sensor. Smoke an CO must be able to reach the sensors to
accurately etect these con itions. Do not install in peaks of
vaulte ceilings, “A” frame ceilings or gable roofs. Keep out of
amp an humi areas.
