Owner's Instructions
Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is
recommended that a household fire safety audit be con-
ducted 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 evalu-
ation.
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 professional 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 with-
out 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 per-
form 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 out-
door furniture 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 Depart-
ment.
• A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investi-
gate 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 con-
ducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system oper-
ation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
• DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Depart-
ment and request further information on home fire safety
and escape planning. If available, have your local fire pre-
vention officer conduct 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
recommends that you test the entire alarm system at least
once a week to verify the operation of all system functions.
Units with Siren - Push-button switch
To test the smoke detector, press and hold the test button on
the front of the unit for 5 seconds minimum, the siren 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 Siren - 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 a minimum of 5 seconds. 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 detec-
tor, check the unit's sensing chamber to ensure proper opera-
tion. 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 detector does not function properly, call
your smoke detector installer or dealer for service.
Maintenance
The smoke detector is designed to require minimum mainte-
nance. 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 plan-
ning renovations or repainting, contact your installer and
ask that the unit be temporarily removed until work is com-
plete.
If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high lev-
els of dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require
service; contact your smoke detector installer or dealer. Testing
and maintenance procedures shall be in accordance with
CAN/ULC-S552.
