3a. WHERE TO LOCATE SMOKE ALARMS
As a minimum, smoke alarms should be located between
sleeping areas and potential sources of fire such as a kitchen,
heated garage or basement. In single storey homes with one
sleeping area, an alarm should be installed in the hallway outside
the bedrooms (see Figure 1). In single storey homes with two
separate sleeping areas, a minimum of two alarms are required,
one outside each sleeping area (see Figure 2). In multi-level or
split-level homes, as a minimum, an alarm should be installed
outside each sleeping area, in the basement and at every level of
the home (see Figure 3).
• In every room of your home (except the bathroom): Research
indicates that substantial increases in warning time can be
obtained with each properly installed, additional alarm.
• In bedrooms: In anticipation of fires originating within these
rooms, caused by faulty wiring, lamps, appliances, smoking or
other hazards.
• In hallways: At a distance no greater than 13 feet (4 meters)
from the farthest wall and no greater than 26 feet (8 meters)
from the next alarm.
• In the center of a room or hallway: As it is impossible to
predict the source of a fire. If it is necessary to place the alarm
on a wall, always locate the top of the smoke alarm 4-6 inches
(10-15 cm) from the ceiling.
• As needed: To compensate for closed doors and other obstacles
that may interfere with the path of smoke to an alarm. They
may also prevent occupants on one side of a closed door from
hearing a alarm on the other side of the door.

3b. WHERE TO LOCATE SMOKE ALARMS IN MOBILE
HOMES AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLES (RV's)
Note: Power supply must be 120 Volts AC for model
SA379.
In mobile homes and RV's built after 1978 locate the smoke
alarm as described above.
Older mobile homes and RV's may have little or no insulation
compared to the ones built post 1978. These uninsulated
exteriors can disrupt airflow around the smoke alarm in hotter or
colder weather. Locate the alarm only on interior walls 4" to 6"
(10 to 15 cm) from ceiling 1. if you own an older mobile home or
RV, or 2. if you notice the exterior walls and/or ceiling are
noticeably cold or warm or 3. if you are uncertain about the
quality of insulation.
Regardless of the age of the mobile home or RV, locate alarms
throughout to ensure maximum protection. Follow the location
instructions in this manual.
4. NFPA RECOMMENDATIONS
For your information, the National Fire Protection
Association's Standard 72, Section 2-2.1.1.1, reads as follows:
2-2.1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional storey of the family living unit,
including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics. In new construction a smoke alarm
also shall be installed in each sleeping room.
Never disconnect the battery or the AC
A-2.5.2.1 Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The
power on any type of smoke alarm to silence
required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early
warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the
®
areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is
recommended that the householder consider the use of additional
smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The
additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room,
furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the
required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in
kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally
recommended, as these locations occasionally experience
conditions that can result in improper operation.
5. LOCATIONS TO AVOID
Avoid locations where smoke may not reach the alarm in time
to provide early warning, or where the alarm may not be
effective.
DO NOT PLACE SMOKE ALARMS:
• In turbulent air from fans, doors, windows, etc. The rapid air
movement may prevent combustion particles from entering the
alarm.
• In dead air spaces such as at the peak of an "A" frame ceiling.
"Dead air" at the top may prevent smoke from reaching the
alarm in time to provide early warning. In rooms with simple
sloped, peaked or gabled ceilings, install smoke alarms on the
ceiling 3 feet (90 cm) from the highest point of the ceiling.
Note: For complex ceiling structures, consult a safety expert for
the number of alarms required and the best locations.
• In very hot or cold areas where the temperature exceeds 100
(38
0
C) or falls below 40
0
F (5
• Less than 6 inches (15 cm) from the wall when mounted on
the ceiling.
Nuisance alarms could result when smoke alarms are located
where interference may occur with the sensing chamber. To
avoid nuisance alarms, DO NOT place smoke alarms:
• In high humidity areas such as bathrooms and attics. Place
smoke alarms at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• In poorly ventilated kitchens or garages.
• In very dusty and dirty areas.
• Near fluorescent lights. Place smoke alarms at least 5 feet (1.5
meters) from fluorescent lights.

use. It is not to be connected to a
commercial or industrial fire alarm panel.
6. INSTALLATION AND TESTING
Locking Keys - Optional
This model has optional locking keys to better secure either the
alarm and/or the alarm and back-up battery to inhibit
unauthorized removal. See point 16 in this section for more
details on this feature.
A. Installation
Mount to any standard or rectangular junction box with a
minimum depth of 1 inch (25mm). 120V AC, 55mA operation.
WARNING: Wiring should only be installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes.
WARNING: The circuit used to power the alarm must be a 24
hour voltage circuit that cannot be turned off by a switch or a
ground fault interrupter. It is highly recommended that smoke
alarms be wired on a separate circuit (one with no other lights or
appliances) to ensure maximum reliability of AC power supply.
For installation of Smoke Alarms in Dwelling Units, it is
important to follow the National Electrical Code and local codes.
1. Electricity must be turned off at service entrance before

B. Operation: How to Test
Before Installation:
1. Connect battery. Ensure that the battery is correctly
installed. Positive terminal to positive contact and negative
terminal to negative contact, as indicated in the battery
drawer. Reversing the battery in the compartment should not
cause any damage to the smoke alarm. If the drawer is
pushed all the way in, a low battery beep will sound when
the AC power is applied after installation if the battery is
improperly installed.
Storage in low humidity, and certain transportation
conditions, may cause electrostatic charges to build up in the
alarm system housing. Although harmless, these charges may
increase the length of time during which the horn sounds
upon battery insertion or test button operation. The
condition may be cleared by gently wiping the outside of the
plastic cover with a clean, damp cloth.
2. Check that the red operating light flashes approximately
every 45 seconds.
3. Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds. NOTE: It
may be necessary to press the test button for up to 20 seconds for
an alarm to sound. An alarm is indicated by 3 constantly
Smoke alarm
repeating beeps every 4 seconds, with the red LED flashing
intermittently . An alarm may continue to sound for up to 10
seconds after the button is released.
After Installation
1. Check to see that the green operating light is on. The
operating light is visible behind the slotted case and confirms
that the smoke alarm is receiving AC power.
2. At least once a week, press the test button until the alarm
sounds, then release.
NOTE: Multiple Station Only:
4. Test each alarm separately in the system.
5. Determine that the initiating alarm triggers other alarms in
the system.
7. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Eveready 216, 522, 1222, Duracell MN1604, MX1604 and
the Gold Peak 1604P are the only acceptable back-up batteries
for use in this smoke alarm. The back-up battery will power the
smoke alarm for at least one year under normal use. When the
back-up battery reaches the end of its normal life, a low battery
warning (intermittent beeping) for up to 30 days, will indicate
the need for back-up battery replacement.
NOTE: If the battery drawer is open, the low battery warning
beep is disabled. The battery drawer is designed to resist closing
when the back-up battery is removed, thereby ensuring visual
warning.
WARNING
!
Use of a non-recommended battery may be
detrimental to the proper functioning of the alarm.
8. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
