INTRODUCTION
LANSEN’s advanced single station photoelectric smoke detector
SMK2 series is designed to sense smoke that comes into the
sensing chamber. It does not sense gas or flame. This smoke
detector is designed to give early warning of developing fires by
giving sound alarm from its built-in alarm horn. It can provide
precious time for you and your family to escape before a fire
spread. However, the smoke detector only makes such pre-warning of fire
accident possible if the smoke detector is located, installed, and
maintained properly as described in this manual.
In addition, this smoke detector also integrates a high-
performance radio transmitter that sends status messages via the
Wireless M-BUS & OMS (Open Metering Standard) protocol. The
integrated radio module is only used for monitoring and transmitting
of the performance and functionality of the smoke detector.

WARNING: This smoke detector is designed for use in a single
residential unit only, which means it should only be used inside a
single-family apartment or home. The detectors are stand-alone units and
have no interconnections to other smoke detectors.
WARNING: This detector must not be used in non-residential buildings.
Warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, and special purpose
non-residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm systems.
This smoke detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire
detection systems for places where many people live or work, such as
hotels or motels. The same is true of dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes
or group homes of any kind, even if they were once single-family homes.
WARNING: This smoke detector will not alert people who are hard of
hearing. It is strongly recommended that special-purpose smoke detectors,
using lights or vibrating devices, should be installed to alert occupants who
are hard of hearing.
LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS
For complete coverage in residential units, smoke detectors should be
installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, and attics in each
family living unit. Minimum coverage is one detector on each floor and one
in each sleeping area.
Useful tips:
˙Install one separate smoke detector in every bedroom and one smoke
detector on each floor as a minimum protection. Install a separate
smoke detector in each separate room and exit way except kitchen, as
shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
˙Install a smoke detector on every floor of a multi-floor home or
apartment, as shown in Figure 3.
˙Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
˙Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
˙Install smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway
is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
˙Install basement smoke detector at the bottom of basement stairwell.
˙Install second-floor smoke detectors at the top of the first-to-second
floor stairwell. Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path
of smoke to the smoke detector.
˙Install additional smoke detectors in your living room, dining room,
family room, attic, utility and storage rooms.
˙Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as possible.
If this is not practical, put the detector on the ceiling, no closer than 20
inches (50 cm) from any wall or corner, as shown in Figure 4.
˙If ceiling mounting is not possible and if wall mounting is permitted by
your local and state codes, put wall-mounted detectors between 4 and 6
inches (10 ~ 15 cm) from the ceiling, as seen in Figure 4.
˙If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings (>20°)
then the distance between the peak and the mounting point of the
smoke detector shall be 0.5 –1 m, measured along the peaked ceiling
as shown in Figure 5.

ROOMS WITH SLOPED, GABLED,
OR PEAKED CEILING.
CAUTION: Early fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A
smoke detector installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but
outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke detectors in the living rooms,
dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets,
utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.
Smoke detector shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area
in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of
the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics.
It is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional
smoke detectors in areas separated by a door for increased protection.
The recommended additional areas are living room, dining room,
bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace rooms, utility
room, basement, integral or attached garage, and hallways. However, the
use of additional detectors remains the option of the householder. We
recommend complete coverage and use of additional smoke detectors.
LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
Nuisance alarms take place when smoke detectors are installed where
they will not work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install smoke
detectors in the following situations:
˙Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning.
Thus, nuisance alarms can be prevented by avoiding installation of
smoke detectors in or near areas where combustion particles are
present, for example, in kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation or
garages where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water
heaters, and space heaters.
˙Do not install smoke detectors less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from
places where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens. If
a 20-foot distance is not possible, try to install the detector as far away
from the combustion particles as possible, preferably on a wall. To
prevent nuisance alarm, provide good ventilation in such places.
IMPORTANT:Never disable the unit to avoid nuisance alarms.
˙Air streams passing by kitchens may affect how a smoke detector
senses combustion particles. Figure 6 graphically indicates the correct
and incorrect location of smoke detector with normal air flow in a
building.
˙In damp or very humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers. Moisture
in humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then turns into droplets
upon cooling which can cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors
at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms.
˙In very cold or hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor rooms.
If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of smoke
detector (-10ºC~50ºC / 14ºF~122ºF), they will not work properly.
˙In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up in the detector’s
sensing chamber, thus making it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or
dirt can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector
from sensing smoke.
˙Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or
fans. Fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke
detectors.
˙Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof or in the corners
between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching
the smoke detector. See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting
locations.
˙In insect-infested areas. If insects enter the detector’s sensing chamber,
they may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of
them before putting up a smoke detector.
˙Near fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may
cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 5 feet (1.5
meters) from such lights.
WARNING: Never try to remove battery from smoke detector to stop a
nuisance alarm. Open a window or fan the air around the smoke detector
to get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn itself off when the smoke is
gone. If nuisance alarms persist, attempt to clean the smoke detector as
described in this manual.
WARNING:Do not stand close to the smoke detector when the alarm is
sounding. The alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency. Too
much exposure to the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
INSTALLING YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS
The SMK2 smoke detector is made to be mounted in the ceiling.
WARNING: Do not connect the SMK2 smoke detectors to any other
detector or auxiliary device. Connecting anything else to this detector will
keep it from working properly.
Read “LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS”and
“LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS” section in this
manual first, then decide where to install a detector.
Please follow these steps to install your SMK2 smoke detector:
1. At the place where you are going to install your smoke detector, draw a
six inches (15 cm) long horizontal line.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from your smoke detectors unit by
rotating it counterclockwise.
3. Place the bracket so that the two longest hole-slots are aligned on the
line drawn in step 1. In both keyhole slots, draw a mark to where the
mounting plug and screw is going to be.
4. Remove the bracket.
5. Using a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit, drill two holes at the marks and insert
plastic wall plugs. Put the smoke detector away when drilling to
prevent dust from entering the smoke detector.
6. Use the two screws and plastic wall plugs (all supplied in the package)
and mount the bracket on the wall.
7. Install the 3V battery supplied inside the SMK2 by removing the plastic
battery pull tab.
8. Line up the slot of the bracket and the smoke detector. Push the smoke
detector onto the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise to fix it into
place. Pull onward on the smoke detector to make sure it is securely
attached to the mounting bracket.
9. After being mounted on the bracket for 2 seconds, the alarm horn will
beep once, and a green LED will flash once.
10. Press the test button at the front - the horn shall sound with a loud,
pulsating alarm. This means the unit is working properly. For further
info regarding the test, please refer to section “MANUAL TEST OF
THE SMOKE DETECTOR”.

SMOKE DETECTOR MODES
STANDBY MODE
Green LED flashing once every 48 seconds means the smoke detector is
in standby (operating) mode.
ALARM MODE
Red LED flashing 3 times and horn emit 3 tones every 4 seconds.
SILENCE FEATURE
The silence features can temporarily mute an alarm for up to 8 minutes.
To use this feature, press test/silence button on the smoke detector when
it alarms. If the smoke concentration around the smoke detector is still at
an alarming level after 8 minutes of silence, then the smoke detector will
re-alarm immediately.
MALFUNCTION (ERROR) SIGNAL
Please remove and replace the smoke detector if:
Horn emits sound 1 time and yellow LED flashing once 48 seconds:
Detector does not work properly.
Horn emits sound 3 times and yellow LED flashing 1 time:
Smoke trouble.
Horn emits sound 2 times and yellow LED flashing 1 time:
“Low sensitivity”.
.
Horn emits sound 2 times and yellow LED flashing 2 times:
“High sensitivity”.
Horn emits sound 1 time and yellow LED flashing 1 time:
The detector has low battery voltage.
HUSH FEATURE
The hush feature can temporarily mute warning of malfunctions for up to
one hour. To use this feature, press the test/silence button when the
smoke detector is in warning (malfunction) mode. To return the smoke
detector to audible warning mode, press the test/silence button again.
LOW BATTERY WARNING SIGNAL
If the smoke detector horn begins to beep once every 48 seconds with
yellow LED flashing, then the battery of the smoke detector is weak. This
low battery warning signal should last for up to 7 days. The SMK2 battery
for smoke detection is not replaceable so the detector must be replaced
with a new unit.
END OF LIFE SIGNAL
After 10 years of operation, an audible indication will be given that the
smoke detector should be replaced. This indication is distinguished by
horn emit sound 1 time and yellow LED flashing 4 times every 48
seconds.
MANUAL TEST OF THE SMOKE DETECTOR
Test the smoke detector both at installation and then regularly (at least
monthly) by pressing firmly on the test button with your finger for around 1
second until the horn sounds and then release your finger. The alarm horn
will emit sound at least 3 times with the red LED flashing. If the smoke
detector emits sound with yellow LED flashing every 48 seconds after the
test is done, then the smoke detector is not working properly. See section
“MALFUNCTION (ERROR) SIGNAL”.
This type of test is the only way to make sure that the smoke
detector unit is working properly. If the unit fails this test, then it
must be replaced immediately.
If you have been away from home more than 1 week, always test the
detector manually when you return to home.
NOTE: If no manual test has been performed for 28 days, the device will
do an automatic self-test to determine if everything is okay. The alarm horn
will emit sound during this test.
WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your smoke
detector since you may cause fire damage to the smoke detector or your
home. The built-in test button accurately tests all functions and is the only
correct way to test the unit.
WARNING:When you are not testing the unit, but the alarm horn sounds,
then the smoke detector has sensed smoke or combustion particles in the
air. Investigate the cause of the alarm and take proper actions if the alarm
is correct. The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation, such as
cooking smoke or a dusty furnace. If this happens, open a window, or fan
the air to remove the smoke or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the
air is completely clear.
WARNING: Do not dismantle, disconnect the power, or remove the
battery from the smoke detector. This will remove your protection from
fires.
NOTE: If the smoke detector horn begins to emit sound once in 48
seconds with yellow LED flashing, then the smoke detector’s battery is
weak.
NOTE: Only use the replacement lithium batteries listed below:
1. (Duracell) DL123A
2. (Panasonic) CR123A
.
WARNING: Do not use any other type of battery. The RF module of this
smoke detector may not operate properly with another type of battery.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Open battery compartment (see figure below).
2. Install 3V battery into compartment and make sure the “+” and “-“ends
of the battery are aligned properly and close the hatch.
3. After the battery is installed, mount it on the bracket and press the test
button immediately to check if it alarms properly.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
CAUTION: This smoke detector comes with a cover latch that will
prevent the smoke detector cover from closing if the battery is not installed.
This tells you that the smoke detector will not work until a battery is
properly installed.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
Your SMK2 smoke detector is designed to be as maintenance-free as
possible. To keep your smoke detector in good working condition, you
must test the unit according to section “MANUAL TEST OF THE SMOKE
DETECTOR”.
Regular Maintenance:
Open the cover and vacuum the dust off the smoke detector’s sensing
chamber at least once a month.
To clean the smoke detector, use soft brush attachment on your vacuum.
Carefully remove any dust on smoke detector components, especially on
the openings of the sensing chamber. Test the smoke detector to make
sure battery is working correctly. Never use water cleaners as they may
damage the unit.
NOTE: If nuisance alarms keep coming from the unit, you should check
if the smoke detector’s location is adequate. Refer to section “WHERE
TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTOR”and move your smoke detector if it
is not located properly. Clean the unit as described above.

TIPS TO ENHANCE YOUR PROTECTION FROM FIRES
Putting up smoke detectors is only one step in protecting your family from
fires. You must also reduce the chances that fires will start in your home
and you must increase your chances of escaping safely if one does start.
To have a good fire safety program, you must apply the following tips to
enhance your family’s protection from fires:
1. Install smoke detectors properly. Carefully follow all the instructions in
this manual. Keep your smoke detector clean and test them regularly.
2. Remember that smoke detectors that does not work will not alert you.
Replace your smoke detectors immediately if they are not working.
3. Follow fire safety rules, and prevents hazardous situations:
˙Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
˙Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
˙Store flammable materials in proper containers. Never use them near
open flame or sparks.
˙Keep electrical appliances in good condition. Do not overload
electrical circuits.
˙Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease free.
Make sure they are properly installed and away from any combustible
materials.
˙Keep portable heaters and open flames, such as candles, away from
combustible materials.
˙Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
4. Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire family. Be
sure to include small children in your practice.
˙Draw a floor plan of your home, and find two ways to exit from each
room. There should be one way to get out of each bedroom without
opening the door.
˙Explain to children what the smoke detector signal means. Teach
them that they must be prepared to leave the home by themselves if
necessary. Show them how to check to see if doors are hot before
opening them. Show them how to stay close to the floor and crawl if
necessary. Show them how to use the alternate exit if the door is hot
and should not be opened.
˙Decide on a meeting place which has a safe distance from your
house. Make sure that all your children understand that they should
go and wait for you there if there is a fire.
˙Hold fire drills at least every 6 months to make sure that everyone,
even small children, knows what to do to escape safely.
˙Know where to go to call the Fire Department from outside your
home.
˙Provide emergency equipment, such as fire extinguishers, and teach
your family to use this equipment properly.
MORE TIPS ON HOW TO FACE A FIRE IN YOUR HOME
If you have a family escape plan and practiced it with your family, you have
increased their chances of escaping safely. Go over the following rules
with your children each time you have fire drills. This will help everyone
remember them in case of a real fire emergency.
1. Do not panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking
clearly and remembering what you have practiced.
2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape
route. Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed.
3. Feel the doors to see if they are hot. If they are not, open them carefully.
Do not open a door if it is hot. Use an alternate escape route.
4. Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet or damp cloth. Take short,
shallow breaths.
6. Keep doors and windows closed. Open them only if you must to escape.
7. Meet at your planned meeting place after leaving the house.
8. Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside your house.
Give the address and your name.
9. Never go back inside a burning building.
10. For more ideas on how to make your home safer from fires and how to
plan your family’s escape, contact your local Fire Department.
LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS
Although smoke detectors play a key role in reducing damage resulting
from home fires, they can only work if they are properly installed, located
and maintained.
˙Smoke detector may not be heard if residents are hearing impaired
Special designed units such as those with visual and audible alarms
should be installed for hearing impaired residents.
˙Smoke detector may not waken all individuals if they are sound
sleepers
If children or other family members do not waken readily to the sound of
the smoke detector, or if there are infants or members with mobility
limitations, make sure someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and
in the event of an emergency.
