WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS IN MOBILE HOMES

AND RVs

Mobile homes and RVs built after about 1978 were designed and

insulated to be energy-efficient. In mobile homes and RVs built

after1978, smoke detectors should be installed as described above.

Older mobile homes and RVs may have little or no insulation compared

to current standards. Outside walls and roofs are often made of non-

insulated metal, which can transfer thermal energy flow from outdoors.

This makes the air right next to them hotter or colder than the rest of the

inside air. These layers of hotter or colder air can keep smoke from

reaching a smoke detector. Therefore, install smoke detectors in such

units only on inside walls. Place them 10 - 15 cm (4 - 6 inches) from the

ceiling. If you are not sure how much insulation is in your mobile home

or RV, then install the detector on an inside wall. If the walls or ceiling

are unusually hot or cold, then install the detector on an inside wall.

Install one detector as close to the sleeping area as possible for

minimum security, or install one detector in each room for more security.

Before you install any detector, please read the following section on

"Where Not to Install Smoke Detectors".

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS

False alarms occur when smoke detectors are installed where they will

not work properly. To avoid false alarms, do not install smoke detectors

in the following situations:

 Combustion particles are by-products of something burning. Do not

install smoke detectors in or near areas where combustion particles are

present, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages

where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters

and space heaters.

 Do not install smoke detectors less than 6 m (20 feet) away from

places where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens. If

a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the

detector as far away from the combustion particles as possible,

preferably on the wall. To prevent false alarms, provide good ventilation

in such places.

HOW TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS

 Remove the red cover from detector body.

 Hold mounting base firmly and turn it anti-clockwise to release it from

the detector body.

 Hold the mounting base against the ceiling and mark the center of

each slot. Drill 2 holes and install the mounting base with the screws .

 Insert the battery according to the polarity into the detector body.

 Hold the detector against the mounting base and turn it clockwise

until it fix.

PREPARE YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR FOR INSTALLATION

Battery Connection

Hold mounting base firmly and push the hinge, turn anti-clockwise

to release the base down.

The FW2-SMK comes with special mechanism within the battery

holder that prevents the cover from closing if there is no battery

inside.

The smoke detector is supplied with a 3V lithium battery.

Insert the battery into the battery compartment with the flexible

contacts on the detector.

ID Registration - "LEARN" Procedure

In order to learn the FW2-SMK detector into the control panel, please

refer to the Installer Manual.

NOTE: It is recommended to power up the detector and let the target

receiver "learn" the transmitter's ID before actual installation.

Refer to the target receiver's installation instructions and follow the

procedure given there for "learning" transmitter IDs.

Make sure that the receiver is at learning mode - according to control

panel installation instruction.

Use the Back Tamper in order to enroll the unit into the Control Panel.

Enroll the detector

Hold mounting base firmly and push the hinge, turn anti-clockwise to

release the base down.

The tamper switch will be activated and issue a tamper event

transmission that is used to enroll the smoke detector.

SETTING UP THE DETECTORS

 The FW2-SMK Detector can be set to detect Smoke and Heat or Heat

only.

 The default setting is on Smoke & Heat.

If change setting from default is not required - skip this paragraph!

 Remove the battery

 Open the detector body by releasing 3 plastic snaps at the bottom.

Reassemble the body cover on the base by aligning the snaps against

their holders and pressing them together.

Mode Setting:

Set the Slide switch according the printed on board.

SMK-Smoke & Heat

TEMP- Heat only

When reassembling the body, pay attention not to bend the Heat Sensor.

 Insert the battery

 Hold the Base against the mounting bracket and turn it clockwise until it

"clicks".
