User Manual
Smoke Detector
Ideal for All Areas
Our photoelectric smoke detector is designed to sense smoke that comes into
the detector chamber. It does not sense gas, heat, or flame. This smoke
detector is designed to give early warning of developing fires by giving off the
alarm sounds from its built-in alarm horn. It can provide precious time for you
and your family to escape before fire spreads. However, the smoke detector
makes such pre-warning of fire accident possible, only if the detector is
located, installed, and maintained properly as described in this User's Manual.
WARNING: This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit
only, which means that it should be used inside a single family home or
apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies, hallways, basements, or
another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are already working
detectors in each family unit. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas
outside the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not
provide early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living
unit should set up its own detectors.
WARNING: This detector is not meant to 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
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. Please refer NFPA 101, the Life
Safety Code, NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E for smoke detector
requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as “households”.
Introduction
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA Standard 74
(National Fire Protection Association, Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02169).
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 and attics in each family living unit.
Locations to Install Your Smoke Detectors
Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stair well.
Install second-floor detectors at the top of the first-to-second floor stair well.
Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the detector.
Install additional 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 4 inches (10 cm)
from any wall or corner, as shown in Figure 4.
If ceiling mounting is not possible and 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, also see Figure 4.
If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to mount
detectors 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured horizontally from the highest point of the
ceiling as shown in Figure 5.
Here, we have useful tips for you:
Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate
bedroom area, as shown in Figure 1. Two detectors are required in
homes with two bedroom areas, as shown in 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 a smoke detector inside every room where one sleeps with
the door partly or completely closed, since smoke could be blocked
by the closed door and a hallway alarm may not wake up the
sleeper if the door is closed.

“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: (1) A
smoke detector installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but
outside of the bedrooms), and (2) 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.”
For your information, NFPA Standard 74, Section 2-4 reads as follows:
“2-4.1.1 Smoke detectors 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.
The provisions of 2-4.1.1 represent the minimum number of detectors
required by this standard. It is recommended that the householder considers
the use of additional smoke detectors for increased protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke
detectors under 2-4.1.1 above. 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 not
included in 2-4.1.1 above. However, the use of additional detectors remains
the option of the householder.” We recommend complete coverage and use
of additional smoke detectors.
CAUTION (As required by the California State Fire Marshall)
Locations not to Install Your 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 par ticles are the by-products of something that is burning. Thus,
in or near areas where combustion particles are present you do not install the
smoke detectors to avoid nuisance alarms, such as kitchens with few windows
or poor ventilation, 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 par ticles are normally present, like kitchens. If a 20-foot
distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, tr y to install the detector as far
away from the combustion particles as possible, preferably on the wall. To
prevent nuisance alarms, provide good ventilation in such places.
IMPORTANT: For any reason, do not disable the detector to avoid nuisance
alarms.
When air streams passing by kitchens, the way how a detector can sense
combustion par ticles in normal air-flow paths is graphically shown in Figure 6,
which indicates the correct and incorrect smoke detector locations
concerning this problem.
Figure 6: recommended smoke detector locations to avoid air streams with
combustion par ticles
WARNING: Never remove batteries to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window
or fan the air around the 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 detector as described in this User ’s Manual.
WARNING: Do not stand close to the 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.
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 very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor
rooms. If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of smoke
detector, it will not work properly. The operating temperature range for your
smoke detector is 40 F to 100 F (4 C to 38 C).
In very dusty or dirty areas, dir t and dust can build up on the detector ’s
sensing chamber, to make it over sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt can block
openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector 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 a
detector. See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting locations.
In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector ’s sensing chamber, they
may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of them
before putting up a 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.

CAUTION: This smoke detector comes with cover latches that will prevent the
smoke detector cover from closing if batter y is not installed. This tells you that
the smoke detector will not work until a new batter y is properly installed. The
battery is purposely positioned WRONGLY in the factor y to keep it fresh
until installation. It must be re-positioned correctly to provide DC power.
Testing Your Smoke Detector
Test the detector weekly by pushing firmly on the test button with your finger
until the horn sounds. Testing method may take up to 5 seconds to sound the
alarm horn. These are only ways to be sure that detector is working correctly.
If the detector fails to test properly, have it repaired or replaced immediately.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test your detector. You may set fire to
damage the detector, as well as your home. The built-in test switch accurately
tests all detector functions, as required by Underwriters’ Laboratories. They
are the only correct ways to test the unit.
WARNING: When you are not testing the unit and the alarm horn sounds a
loud continuous sound, this means the detector has sensed smoke or
combustion par ticles in the air. Be sure that the alarm horn is a warning of a
possible serious situation, which requires your immediate attention.
The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation. Cooking smoke or a dusty
furnace, sometimes called “friendly fires” can cause the alarm to sound. 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.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the battery from the detector. This will remove your
protection from fires.
The red LED, as the ALARM indicator, is featured with the detector. It can be
seen through the test button on the cover of the detector. When red LED
flashes once 32 seconds, it indicates the detector under normal operation.
When smoke detector senses smoke and simultaneously sounds an audible
alarm, the red LED will flash very frequently, once 0.67 seconds.

NOTE: When the detector battery first makes contact with the detector, the
alarm horn may sound for one second. This is normal and indicates that the
batter y is positioned properly. Close cover, then press the test button, holding
it down for about 5 seconds until the horn sounds. The horn should sound a
loud, pulsating alarm. This means the unit is working properly.
To keep your detector in good working condition, you must test the detector
weekly, as referring to section “TESTING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR”.
Replace the detector batter y when the low batter y “beep” signal sounds once
a minute. The low battery “beep” should last at least 30 days.
NOTE: For replacement battery, use Gold Peak 1604P, 1604S, 1604G, 1604A;
Eveready522, 216; Duracel Mn1604; PremisafeG6F22; UltralifeU9VL-J; EVE

WARNING: Do not use any other kind of battery. This detector may not
operate properly with other kind of battery.
Open the cover and vacuum the dust off the detector ’s sensing chamber at
least once a year. This can be done when you open the detector to change
the battery. Remove battery before cleaning. To clean detector, use soft brush
attachment to your vacuum. Carefully remove any dust on detector
components, especially on the openings of the sensing chamber. Replace
batter y after cleaning. Test detector to make sure battery works correctly.
Check to make sure there is no obstruction inside the test button. If there is
any dust in the test button, insert a toothpick from the back to the front.
NOTE: If nuisance alarms keep coming from the detector, you should check
whether the detector’s location is adequate. Refer to section “WHERE TO
INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS.” Move your detector if it is not located properly.
Clean detector as described above.
Clean detector cover when it gets dirty. First open the cover and remove
batter y. Hand-wash cover with cloth dampened with clean water. Dry it with
lint-free cloth. Do not get any water on the detector components. Replace the
batter y, and close cover. Test detector to make sure that battery works
correctly.

The silence feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 8
minutes. To use the feature, press the"TEST" button .When remain in silence,
the LED will flash once ever y 8 seconds (for up to 8 minutes) to remind you
the alarm has been stopped. The flashing LED will stop when the unit returns
to normal operation.
WARNING: The silence feature does not disable the unit. It is temporarily less
sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough
to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, it will stay in alarm, or may re-
alarm quickly. If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it is
an unwanted alarm. Not responding to an alarm can result in property loss,
injury or death.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the batter y from the detector. This will remove your
protection from fires.
˙
If a beep or chirp virtually simultaneously with an LED flash once a minute,
this means the detector ’s batter y is weak. Replace new batter y immediately.
If a beep or chirp occurring halfway an LED flash once a minute, this signal
means that the detector is faulting, it is must repaired or replaced
immediately.
Using The Silence Feature
1) Make sure the control panel is in learning state.
2) Press the testing button on the smoke detector for 3 seconds, two beeps
are heard. Simultaneously, one beep is heard from the control panel. The
detector has been connected successfully with the control panel.
Testing:
Press the testing button on the smoke detector for 3 seconds, the control
panel will alarm immediately.
