Owner's Instructions
Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is rec-
ommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a
family escape plan be developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit
1.
Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition? Check
for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are
uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or
household service, have a professional evaluation.
2.
Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers,
and in a cool and well ventilated area? Avoid cleaning the unit
with flammable liquids.
3.
Are hazardous materials such as matches out of the reach of
children?
4.
Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed,
clean, and in good working order? If in doubt, have a profes-
sional evaluation.
Family Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and
the time it becomes deadly. Because of this, it is very important
that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
•
Include every family member when developing the escape plan.
•
Study the possible escape routes from each location within the
house. Since many fires occur at night, give special attention to
the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
•
It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without
opening the interior door. Consider the following when making
your escape plans:
•
Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are
easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and that
the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
•
Develop plans for rescue, if opening the exit or using the exit is
too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped. This plan
includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue
can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
•
If the exit is above the ground level, provide an approved fire
ladder or rope, as well as training in its use.
•
Keep exits on the ground level clear. Be sure to remove snow
from exterior patio doors in the winter and that outdoor furni-
ture or equipment does not block exits.
•
Have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be
accounted for; for example, across the street or at a neighbor's
house.
•
Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
•
A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate first
or attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to rescue
belongings or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside, do
not re-enter the house; wait for the Fire Department.
•
Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should
an emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise
the plan as conditions change; for example, when there are
more or fewer family members in the home or if there are
changes to the house.
•
Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conduct-
ing weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, con-
tact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
•
DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Department
and request further information on home fire safety and escape
planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer con-
duct an in-house fire safety inspection.
Testing Your Smoke Detector
Follow the test procedure described here or contact your smoke
detector dealer or installer for testing instructions. DSC recom-
mends that you test the entire alarm system at least once a week
to verify the operation of all system functions.
Units with Sounder - Pushbutton switch
To test the smoke detector, press and hold the test button on the
front of the unit for 5 seconds minimum, the sounder initiates a
clicking noise during this time. When the button is pressed, the
unit's alarm will sound and an alarm will be sent to the control
panel. When the button is released, the alarm will cease.
Units without Sounder - Magnet activated switch
To test the smoke detector, place a magnet adjacent to the test
button on the front of the unit (see Fig. 1) and hold in place for 5
seconds (minimum). When the magnet is in place, the internal
reed switch will activate and an alarm will be sent to the control
panel. When the magnet is removed, the alarm will cease.
Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector,
check the unit's sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. To
test the sensing chamber, wave a lit cotton wick or punk stick
around the outside of the unit until a generous amount of smoke
enters the sensing chamber or the unit alarms. If the smoke detec-
tor does not function properly, call your smoke detector installer or
dealer for service.
Maintenance
The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance.
If the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brush attachment.
If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with soapy water.
Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no
user serviceable parts inside the unit. Never paint the
unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering the unit. If
you are planning renovations or repainting, contact
your installer and ask that the unit be temporarily
removed until work is complete.
If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels of
dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require service; con-
tact your smoke detector installer or dealer. Testing and mainte-
nance procedures shall be in accordance with CAN/ULC-S552.
