NOTE:

Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities

that the smoke detector system is undergoing maintenance

and will be out of service. Disable the zone or system under-

going maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.

1. Remove the detector cover by placing a small-bladed screwdriver in

the cover removal slot and twisting it slightly until the cover can be

turned counterclockwise for removal.

2. Remove the screen by pulling it straight out (see Figure 8). Vacuum the

screen thoroughly.

3. Clean the black vaned chamber piece by vacuuming or blowing out

dust and particles.

4. To reinstall the screen, rotate the screen on the housing until it drops

into the alignment slots. Carefully push the screen onto the base,

making sure it fits tightly to the chamber. Replacement screens are

available (order part number RS23).

5. Replace the cover by rotating it clockwise until it locks in place.

6. Reinstall the detector into the system, enable system operation, and

notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.

LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS/TRANSMITTERS

This smoke detector is designed to activate and initiate

action, but will do so only when used in conjunction with an authorized

fire alarm system. This detector must be installed in accordance with

NFPA standard 72. . . . .

smoke detectors will not work if the power supply is cut off for any reason.

Alarm signal sent by the wireless transmitter in this detector may be

blocked or reflected by metal before reaching the alarm receiver. Even

if the signal path has been recently checked, blockage can occur if a

metal object is moved into the path.

Smoke detectors will not sense fires which start where smoke does

not reach the detectors.

not reach the detectors. Smoldering fires typically do not generate a lot

of heat which is needed to drive smoke up to the ceiling where the smoke

detector is usually located. For this reason, there may be large delays in

detecting a smoldering fire with either an ionization-type detector or a

photoelectric-type detector. Either one of them may alarm only after

flaming has initiated, which will generate the heat needed to drive the

smoke to the ceiling.

Smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, or on the other side of

a closed door may not reach the smoke detector and alarm it. A detector

cannot quickly detect, or sense at all, a fire developing on another level

of a building. Alarm warning devices, such as bell or horns, may not alert

people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed

or partly open doors, or on another level. Persons may not hear a

warning device over the noise levels of a radio, air conditioner or other

appliances, or traffic. For this reason, detectors shall be located on

every level and in every bedroom within a building.

and photoelectronic detectors are required to pass fire tests of the

flaming and smoldering types. This is to ensure that both can detect a

wide range of fires. Ionization detectors offer a broad range of fire-

sensing capability, but they are somewhat better at detecting fast-

flaming fires than slow-smoldering fires. Photoelectronic detectors sense

smoldering fires better than flaming fires, which have little, if any, visible

smoke. Because fires develop in different ways, and are often unpredict-

able in their growth, neither type of detector is always best, and a given

detector may not always provide early warning of a specific type of fire.

WARNING

detectors shall be located on

In general, detectors cannot be expected to provide warnings for fires

resulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions,

escaping gases that ignite, improper storage of flammable liquids like

cleaning solvents that ignite, other similar safety hazards, arson, smoking

in bed, children playing with matches or lighters, etc. Smoke detectors

used in high air velocity conditions may have a delay in alarm due to

dilution of smoke densities created by frequent and rapid air exchanges.

Additionally, high air velocity environments may create increased dust

contamination, demanding more frequent detector maintenance.

To keep your equipment in excellent working order, ongoing mainte-

nance is required per the manufacturer's recommendations and UL and

NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA

72, the National Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventative

maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local

manufacturer's representative. Though smoke detectors are designed

for long life, they may fail at any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm

equipment, or any component of that system which fails shall be repaired

or replaced as soon as possible.

ADEMCO ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Alarm Device Manufacturing Company, a Division of Pittway Corporation

("Seller"), 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, NY 11791, warrants its security
