After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If

cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should

be replaced.

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are

capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal ﬁ res.

Victims are often intimate with the ﬁ re, too old or too young, or physically or

mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early

enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies

such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue would be neces-

sary.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the speciﬁ ed type, in

good condition and installed properly.

100 mm (4 in.) minimum

• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the

alarm circuits are in good operating condition.

• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the

detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense ﬁ res starting in chimneys,

walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different ﬂ oor

• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different ﬂ oor, it

may not wake up a sound sleeper.

• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all

sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the

household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to

those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be

incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.

• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's ability to hear the

smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed

in each sleeping area on every level of a home.

• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning

of a ﬁ re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and

renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.

FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN

According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very

little time between the detection of a ﬁ re and the time it becomes deadly.

This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for

ﬁ re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.

Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be

taken.

SAFETY TIPS

• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors

and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.

• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors

and windows leading outside open easily.

• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe

distance from the home where everyone should meet.

• Practice your home ﬁ re drill at night and during the day with everyone in

your home, twice a year.

• Practice using different ways out.

• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can't help them.

• Close doors behind you as you leave.

TESTING THE DETECTOR

NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is

undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the

detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test

function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.

Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic

maintenance.

Testing Detector Operation

This test checks the detector's sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.

1. The test button is located on the detector housing.

2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm

panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder

begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel's

console should display the detector's name in alarm.

Smoke Test

Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector

and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned

smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is

recommended for verifying system protection capability.

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)

Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about

12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will

reset only after it has time to cool.

A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should first be cleaned

as outlined in this manual's MAINTENANCE section. If the detector still fails

to activate, return for repair.
