1 Product Introduction
The SMCSM10-Z works with the Touchscreen. The
device has an optical sensor capable of detecting
smoke particles in the event of fire. It also
contains an integrated heat sensor that is
triggered if a room experiences a sharp rise in
temperature. When triggered, the SMCSM10-Z
emits an audible alarm.
The SMCSM10-Z meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity
testing requirements without the need for
external meters. Built-in drift compensation
allows the SMCSM10-Z to adjust sensitivity
automatically as it becomes dirty over time. The
drift-compensation feature dramatically
increases the time between cleanings, as well as
reducing the chance of a nuisance alarm.

When mounting the SMCSM10-Z on a wall, place
it so the top is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below
the ceiling.
In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings,
place the SMCSM10-Z 3 feet (.9 m) down or away
from the highest point of the ceiling.
If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the
tile with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile
removal.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with alarm
guards unless the combination has been
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Note: A smoke alarm does not provide warnings
for fires resulting from explosions, smoking in bed
or other furniture; ignition of flammable liquids,
vapors and gasses; and children playing with
matches or lighters.
Locations to Avoid
Areas where normal ambient temperature is
less than 32°F (0°C), or exceeds 104°F
(40°C).
Dirty, dusty, insect infested areas.
In or near areas with combustion particles
(kitchens, garages, furnaces, hot-water
heaters, gas space heaters).
On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens,
where there is no transom between the
kitchen and such rooms.
Damp or humid areas, or near bathrooms
with showers.
Near fresh-air inlets or returns or very drafty
areas.
Near heating/air conditioning vents, fans,
and fresh air intakes, which can drive smoke
away from the smoke alarm.
In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked
ceilings or in corners where walls and ceiling
meet. Dead air can prevent smoke from
reaching a smoke alarm.
Within 10 feet (3 m) of fluorescent light
fixtures.
Not suitable for outdoor use.
WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE
DECTECTORS
Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may
not work under all conditions. No fire alarm
product provides total protection of life or
property. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for
life insurance.
Smoke alarms require a source of power to work.
This smoke alarm does not operate and the
alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not
installed properly.
Alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or
someone who has taken drugs or alcohol may not
awaken if Touchscreen or Smoke Alarm is
installed outside a bedroom. Closed or partially
closed doors and distance can block sound. This
product is not designed for the hearing impaired.
Smoke alarms may not always activate and
provide warning early enough. Smoke alarms
only activate when enough smoke reaches the
product’s smoke chamber. If a fire starts in a
chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed
doors, or on a different level of the property,
enough smoke may not reach the product for it
to alarm.

Smoke alarms are a significant help in reducing
loss, injury and even death. However, no matter
how good a detection device is, nothing works
perfectly under every circumstance and we must
warn you that you cannot expect a smoke alarm
to ensure that you will never suffer any damage
or injury.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may
not awaken all sleeping individuals. It is the
responsibility of individuals in the household that
are capable of assisting others to provide aid to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm,
or to those who may be incapable of safely
evacuating the area unassisted.

Fire Prevention and Escape
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to sense
the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm
through the Touchscreen giving the occupant(s) time to
exit the premises safely.
Avoid Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations.
Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially
dangerous situations as follows:
Do not smoke in bed.
Do not leave children home alone.
Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
Properly store materials. Use general good
housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat
and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage
area is an open invitation to fire.
Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not
overload electrical outlets
Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in
your home.
Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires
can start. Be prepared.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire:
Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for
valuables.
In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl
if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel
the door and door knob to see if undue heat is
present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the
bottom of the door with your hip against the door and
one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a
rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch
it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable
pressure. Be sure all members of the household
realize and understand this danger.
Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box
to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing
the fire should be left to the professionals.
Be Prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family
in the event of a fire:
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure
recognition of an alarm signal.
Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room.
It is important that children be instructed carefully,
because they tend to hide in times of crisis.
Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist
that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will
eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering the
house for a missing member who is actually safe.
If you have children and/or physically challenged
people residing in your household, use window decals
to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping
quarters of these individuals.
WARNING
Smoke alarms CANNOT provide warnings for fires
resulting from explosions, smoking in bed or other
furniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases,
children playing with matches or lighters.
