GENERAL INFORMATION
The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is a 3xAAA battery powered wireless
detector intended for use with a compatible wireless alarm system. The
detector has a built-in wireless transmitter, which communicates with the
control panel. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm
and the built-in transmitter sends a signal to the control panel. The Wireless
Smoke Heat Alarm contains an integrated xed 41°F temperature freeze
sensor that will send a warning signal based on temperature detected. This
detector is designed to provide protection with 70-foot spacing capability.
The detector can send alarm, tamper and battery condition messages to
the system’s receiver. Refer to the wireless system’s instruction for the
maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.

The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm contains a sounder which generates the
ANSI S3.41 temporal 3 pattern in an alarm condition. In alarm, a message
is also sent to the control panel and the detector’s ID is displayed at the
console. During an alarm condition, pressing the detector’s hush button
will silence the sounder (see table below). The mounting base installation
is simplied by the incorporation of features compatible for both drywall
fasteners (not supplied) and other methods.
Tricolored LED (red, yellow, green) and a sounder on the detector provide
local visual and audible indication of the detector’s status as listed in Table
1.
During initial power-up the LED blinks alternately red, yellow then green. It
takes about 8 seconds for the detector to stabilize.
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally, the
green LED blinks once every 12 seconds.
Detector Trouble: When the detector has a general fault, the yellow LED
blinks once every four seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. After
12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.

Detector Dirty Feature: When the detector has been contaminated, the
yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and there is a chirp every 48
seconds. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for cleaning your alarm. After 12
hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
Low Battery Detection: The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is powered by 3
AAA Duracell Procell or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (included). The
detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected,
the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel, which
displays the detector’s ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the
detector will blink every 12 seconds. The detector’s sounder will chirp every
48 seconds (yellow LED continues to blink) until the batteries are replaced.
Pressing the hush button will silence the chirps for 12 hours, if no other
trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced WHEN the chirps
begin. Be sure to replace the batteries with fresh ones.

diagram inside the compartment. If the batteries are incorrectly
inserted please remove gently with a non-conductive tool and
correctly reinsert
4. Reinstall the detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector
clockwise until the mating marks align.
5. After the power-up sequence the green LED should blink about once
every 12 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the batteries are not
installed correctly, the detector will not operate and the batteries may
be damaged. If the detector does not power-up, check for correct
batteries installation and for a fully charged batteries.
6. Test the detector (as described later).
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH
HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
PROGRAMMING
Refer to the appropiate compatible control panel programming guide for
the proper procedure required to enroll the wireless smoke/heat into the
system.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major threat
from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.

threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fi res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one fl oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one fl oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the fl oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living
room and recreation room (Figure 5).
The smoke from a fi re generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface, and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner
where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could
have dif culty penetrating. In most fi res, this dead air space measures
about 0.1m (4in.) along the ceiling from the corner and about 0.1m (4in.)
down the wall. Detectors should not be placed in this dead air space, see
Fi
gure 6,7 and 8.
Where NOT to install the alarm:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan
or air vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s
environmental speci cations

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)
Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about
12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has time to cool.
A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should fi rst be
cleaned as outlined in this manual’s MAINTENANCE section. If the detector
still fails to activate, return for repair.
MAINTENANCE
TEST ONCE A WEEK.
WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE
ALARM.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the
interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and
blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fi res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or too young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies
such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue would be neces-
sary.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specifi ed type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the
alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different fl oor
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different oor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed
in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning
of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a fi re and the time it becomes deadly.
This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for
re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.
Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors
and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors
and windows leading outside open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe
distance from the home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fi re drill at night and during the day with everyone in
your home, twice a year.
• Practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Close doors behind you as you leave.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is
undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the
detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test
function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.
Smoke Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector
and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned
smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air fl ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
This detector shall not be installed in location where the normal ambient
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or where it exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 72: NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engi-
neer/technician.
This device should not be used with a guard.
O
nce a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling
or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required.
Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the
screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base
tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it
clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in the
TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the control
system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wire-
less devices.
DO NOT attach the detector to removable ceiling panels.

begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.
Smoke Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector
and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned
smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air fl ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
This detector shall not be installed in location where the normal ambient
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or where it exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 72: NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engi-
neer/technician.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major
threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one fl oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one fl oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the fl oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living
room and recreation room (Figure 5).
The smoke from a fi re generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface, and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner
where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could
have dif culty penetrating. In most fi res, this dead air space measures
about 0.1m (4in.) along the ceiling from the corner and about 0.1m (4in.)
down the wall. Detectors should not be placed in this dead air space, see
Fi
gure 6,7 and 8.
Where NOT to install the alarm:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan
or air vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s
environmental speci cations

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)
Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about
12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has time to cool.
A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should fi rst be
cleaned as outlined in this manual’s MAINTENANCE section. If the detector
still fails to activate, return for repair.
MAINTENANCE
TEST ONCE A WEEK.
WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE
ALARM.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the
interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and
blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fi res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or too young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies
such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue would be neces-
sary.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the speci ed type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the
alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different fl oor
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different oor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed
in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning
of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a fi re and the time it becomes deadly.
This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for
re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.
Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors
and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors
and windows leading outside open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe
distance from the home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fi re drill at night and during the day with everyone in
your home, twice a year.
• Practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Close doors behind you as you leave.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is
undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the
detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test
function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.

This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for
re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.
Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors
and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors
and windows leading outside open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe
distance from the home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fi re drill at night and during the day with everyone in
your home, twice a year.
• Practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Close doors behind you as you leave.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is
undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the
detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test
function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.
Smoke Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector
and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned
smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air fl ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
This detector shall not be installed in location where the normal ambient
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or where it exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 72: NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engi-
neer/technician.
This device should not be used with a guard.
O
nce a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling
or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required.
Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the
screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base
tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it
clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in the
TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the control
system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wire-
less devices.

HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
PROGRAMMING
Refer to the appropiate compatible control panel programming guide for
the proper procedure required to enroll the wireless smoke/heat into the
system.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major
threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fi res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one fl oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one fl oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the fl oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living
room and recreation room (Figure 5).
The smoke from a fi re generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface, and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner
where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could
have dif culty penetrating. In most fi res, this dead air space measures
about 0.1m (4in.) along the ceiling from the corner and about 0.1m (4in.)
down the wall. Detectors should not be placed in this dead air space, see
Fi
gure 6,7 and 8.
Where NOT to install the alarm:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan
or air vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s
environmental speci cations

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)
Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about
12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has time to cool.
A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should fi rst be
cleaned as outlined in this manual’s MAINTENANCE section. If the detector
still fails to activate, return for repair.
MAINTENANCE
TEST ONCE A WEEK.
WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE
ALARM.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the
interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and
blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fi res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or too young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies
such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue would be neces-
sary.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specifi ed type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the
alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different oor
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different oor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed
in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning
of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN

RENSEIGNEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX
Le détecteur de chaleur et de fumée sans l est un détecteur sans l
alimenté par 3 piles AAA conçu pour être utilisé avec des systèmes
d'alarme sans l compatibles. Le détecteur est doté d'un émetteur sans
l intégré qui communique avec le panneau de commande. Lorsque de la
fumée est détectée, l'alarme retentit comme une sonnerie locale bruyante
et l'émetteur intégré envoie un signal au panneau de commande. Le
détecteur de chaleur et de fumée sans l contient un capteur de gel intégré
xé à une température de 5 °C qui envoie un signal d'alarme en fonction
de la température détectée. Ce détecteur a été conçu pour fournir une
protection dans un rayon de 70pieds.
Il peut envoyer des messages concernant le statut de l’alarme, du dispositif
de sécurité et des messages sur l'état des piles au récepteur du système.

Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm
Installation Guide
ATTENTION: This manual should be read prior to use and retained for
further information.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is a 3xAAA battery powered wireless
detector intended for use with a compatible wireless alarm system. The
detector has a built-in wireless transmitter, which communicates with the
control panel. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local
alarm and the built-in transmitter sends a signal to the control panel.
The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm contains an integratedxed 41°F
temperature freeze sensor that will send a warning signal based on
temperature detected. This detector is designed to provide protection with
70-foot spacing capability.
The detector can send alarm, tamper and battery condition messages to
the system’s receiver. Refer to the wireless system’s instruction for the
maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.
CONTENTS OF BOX:
- Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm with base
- Installation guide (APD0601)
- Pack of screws and fi xings
- Labels or decals as appropriate
- 3 AAA PC2400 Duracell Procell batteries (1.5V 1100mAh)
or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (1.5V 1100mAh)

The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm contains a sounder which generates the
ANSI S3.41 temporal 3 pattern in an alarm condition.
In alarm, a message is also sent to the control panel and the detector’s ID
is displayed at the console. During an alarm condition, pressing the detec-
tor’s hush button will silence the sounder (see table below). The mounting
base installation is simplifi ed by the incorporation of features compatible for
both drywall fasteners (not supplied) and other methods.
Tricolored LED (red, yellow, green) and a sounder on the detector provide
local visual and audible indication of the detector’s status as listed in Table 1.
During initial power-up the LED blinks alternately red, yellow then green.
It takes about 8 seconds for the detector to stabilize.
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally, the
green LED blinks once every 12 seconds.
Detector Trouble: When the detector has a general fault, the yellow LED
blinks once every four seconds and there is a chirp every 48 seconds. After
12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
Detector Dirty Feature: When the detector has been contaminated, the
yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and there is a chirp every 48
seconds. Refer to MAINTENANCE section for cleaning your alarm. After
12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
Low Battery Detection: The Wireless Smoke Heat Alarm is powered by
3 AAA Duracell Procell or 3 AAA Energizer E92 batteries (included).
The detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected,
the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel, which
displays the detector’s ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the
detector will blink every 12 seconds. The detector’s sounder will chirp every
48 seconds (yellow LED continues to blink) until the batteries are replaced.
Pressing the hush button will silence the chirps for 12 hours, if no other
trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced WHEN the chirps
begin. Be sure to replace the batteries with fresh ones.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
To replace the batteries:
1.
Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector
counterclockwise. Remove and dispose of the batteries according to your
local regulations.
2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds
before installing new batteries.
3. Install 3 new AAA batteries (available from your local Duracell or Ener-
gizer dealer) in the battery compartment. Follow the polarity diagram inside

EMPLACEMENTS RECOMMANDÉS POUR LE DÉTECTEUR DE CHALEUR ET DE FUMÉE
Selon la National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), la principale menace d’incendie
dans une maison d’habitation survient la nuit, quand tout le monde est endormi.
La menace principale pour les personnes se trouvant dans les chambres à coucher
vient des incendies survenant dans le reste de l’habitation. Le meilleur emplacement
pour un détecteur de fumée se situe donc entre les chambres à coucher et le reste
de l’habitation. Dans les habitations avec seulement une chambre à coucher sur un
étage, le détecteur doit être installé tel que l’indique la Figure 2. Dans les maisons
d’habitations ayant plus d’une chambre à coucher ou des chambres sur plus d’un
étage, il est nécessaire d’installer plus d’un détecteur de fumée, comme le démontre
la Figure 3.
En plus des détecteurs de fumée installés hors des chambres à coucher, l’appareil
doit être installé à chaque étage supplémentaire de la maison, y compris au sous-
sol. Ces installations sont illustrées dans la Figure 4. Le détecteur de fumée de la
salle de séjour doit être installé dans le salon ou près de l’escalier menant au niveau
supérieur, ou aux deux endroits. Le détecteur de fumée du sous-sol doit être installé
tout près de l’escalier qui mène à l’étage supérieur. S’il est installé sur un plafond à
solives apparentes, le détecteur devrait être placé sous les solives. Le détecteur doit
être placé par rapport à l’escalier de manière à intercepter la fumée provenant d’un
incendie au sous-sol avant que la fumée n’entre dans l’escalier.
Les détecteurs de fumée sont optionnels s’il n’y a pas de porte entre la salle de séjour
et la salle de jeux (Figure 5). La fumée d’un incendie s’élève généralement au plafond,
se répand sur toute la surface du plafond et commence à s’amonceler à partir du

the compartment. If the batteries are incorrectly inserted please remove
gently with a non-conductive tool and correctly reinsert.
4. Reinstall the detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector
clockwise until the mating marks align.
5. After the power-up sequence the green LED should blink about once
every 12 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the batteries are not
installed correctly, the detector will not operate and the batteries may be
damaged. If the detector does not power-up, check for correct batteries
installation and for a fully charged batteries
6. Test the detector (as described later).
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR
HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
PROGRAMMING
Refer to the appropiate compatible control panel programming guide for
the proper procedure required to enroll the wireless smoke/heat into the
system.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major
threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fi res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one fl oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one fl oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the fl oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living
room and recreation room (Figure 5).
The smoke from a fi re generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface, and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner
where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could
have dif culty penetrating. In most fi res, this dead air space measures
about 0.1m (4in.) along the ceiling from the corner and about 0.1m (4in.)
down the wall. Detectors should not be placed in this dead air space, see
Fi
gure 6,7 and 8.
Where NOT to install the alarm:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan
or air vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s
environmental speci cations

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)
Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about
12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has time to cool.
A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should fi rst be
cleaned as outlined in this manual’s MAINTENANCE section. If the detector
still fails to activate, return for repair.
MAINTENANCE
TEST ONCE A WEEK.
WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE
ALARM.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the
interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and
blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or too young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies
such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue would be neces-
sary.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the speci ed type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the
alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different fl oor
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different oor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed
in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning
of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a fi re and the time it becomes deadly.
This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for
re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.
Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors
and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors
and windows leading outside open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe
distance from the home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fi re drill at night and during the day with everyone in
your home, twice a year.
• Practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Close doors behind you as you leave.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is
undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the
detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test
function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.
Smoke Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector
and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned
smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air fl ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
This detector shall not be installed in location where the normal ambient
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or where it exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 72: NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engi-
neer/technician.
This device should not be used with a guard.
O
nce a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling
or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required.
Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the
screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base
tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it
clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in the
TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the control
system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wire-
less devices.

• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specifi ed type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the
alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different fl oor
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different oor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed
in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning
of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a re and the time it becomes deadly.
This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for
re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.
Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors
and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors
and windows leading outside open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe
distance from the home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fi re drill at night and during the day with everyone in
your home, twice a year.
• Practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Close doors behind you as you leave.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is
undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the
detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test
function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.
Smoke Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector
and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned
smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air fl ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
This detector shall not be installed in location where the normal ambient
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or where it exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 72: NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engi-
neer/technician.
This device should not be used with a guard.
O
nce a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling
or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required.
Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the
screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base
tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it
clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in the
TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the control
system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wire-
less devices.

6. Test the detector (as described later).
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR
HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
PROGRAMMING
Refer to the appropiate compatible control panel programming guide for
the proper procedure required to enroll the wireless smoke/heat into the
system.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major
threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one fl oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one fl oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the fl oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living
room and recreation room (Figure 5).
The smoke from a fi re generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface, and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner
where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could
have dif culty penetrating. In most fi res, this dead air space measures
about 0.1m (4in.) along the ceiling from the corner and about 0.1m (4in.)
down the wall. Detectors should not be placed in this dead air space, see
Fi
gure 6,7 and 8.
Where NOT to install the alarm:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan
or air vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s
environmental speci cations

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)
Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about
12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has time to cool.
A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should fi rst be
cleaned as outlined in this manual’s MAINTENANCE section. If the detector
still fails to activate, return for repair.
MAINTENANCE
TEST ONCE A WEEK.
WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE
ALARM.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the
interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and
blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fi res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or too young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major
threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep.
The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fi res in
the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best located
between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one
bedroom area on one fl oor, the smoke detector(s) should be located as
shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one bedroom area or
with bedrooms on more than one fl oor, more than one smoke detector is
required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the device
should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling unit, including
the basement. These installations are shown in Figure 4. The living area
smoke detector should be installed in the living room or near the stairway
to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke detector
should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the fl oor
above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the detector should
be placed on the bottom of the joists. The detector should be positioned
relative to the stairway so as to intercept smoke coming from a re in the
basement before the smoke enters the stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living
room and recreation room (Figure 5).
The smoke from a fi re generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across
the ceiling surface, and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner
where the ceiling and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could
have dif culty penetrating. In most fi res, this dead air space measures
about 0.1m (4in.) along the ceiling from the corner and about 0.1m (4in.)
down the wall. Detectors should not be placed in this dead air space, see
Fi
gure 6,7 and 8.
Where NOT to install the alarm:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan
or air vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s
environmental speci cations

Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts)
Direct the heat toward the thermistor. Be sure to hold the heat source about
12 inches from the detector to avoid damage to the plastic. The detector will
reset only after it has time to cool.
A detector that fails to activate with any of these tests should fi rst be
cleaned as outlined in this manual’s MAINTENANCE section. If the detector
still fails to activate, return for repair.
MAINTENANCE
TEST ONCE A WEEK.
WARNING! USE ONLY BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT
BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE
ALARM.
YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting base. You can clean the
interior of your alarm by using compressed air or vacuum cleaner hose and
blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the
alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, reinstall and test your alarm by using the test button. If
cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm should
be replaced.
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are
capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fi res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or too young, or physically or
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies
such as protection-in-place or assisted escape or rescue would be neces-
sary.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specifi ed type, in
good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the
alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a different fl oor
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different oor, it
may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the
household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or those who may be
incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed
in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning
of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a fi re and the time it becomes deadly.
This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning and practicing for
re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the residence are important.
Drills should be held so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors
and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors
and windows leading outside open easily.
• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe
distance from the home where everyone should meet.
• Practice your home fi re drill at night and during the day with everyone in
your home, twice a year.
• Practice using different ways out.
• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.
• Close doors behind you as you leave.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is
undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the
detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test
function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic mainte-
nance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 3 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
console should display the detector’s name in alarm.
Smoke Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector
and gently blow smoke through the detector until the unit alarms. Canned
smoke aerosol is also an acceptable method. Smoke detection testing is
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air fl ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
This detector shall not be installed in location where the normal ambient
temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or where it exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NFPA 72: NATIONAL FIRE ALARM AND SIGNALING CODE.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engi-
neer/technician.
This device should not be used with a guard.
O
nce a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling
or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required.
Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the
screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base
tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it
clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in the
TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the control
system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wire-
less devices.

2. Appuyez et maintenez le bouton de test pendant au moins 5 secondes. Le
panneau d’alarme se déclenche puis le détecteur se met en alerte. La sonde émet
la séquence temporelle 3 et la DEL rouge clignote. La console du panneau d’alarme
doit en principe afcher le nom du détecteur ayant déclenché l’alarme.
Test de fumée
Tenez un bâtonnet fumant ou une mèche de coton à côté du détecteur et soufez
doucement la fumée sur le détecteur jusqu’à ce que l’appareil déclenche l’alarme. La
fumée en aérosol est également une méthode acceptable. Le test de détection de fumée
est recommandé pour vérier la capacité de protection du système.
Méthode de chauffage direct (sèche-cheveux de 1 000·1 500 watts)
Dirigez la chaleur vers le thermistor. Assurez-vous de tenir la source de chaleur à
environ 12 pouces du détecteur pour éviter d’endommager le plastique. Le détecteur se
réinitialise uniquement après avoir eu le temps de refroidir.
Un détecteur qui ne s’active pas au cours d’un de ces tests doit d’abord être nettoyé
comme le décrit la section MAINTENANCE de ce manuel. Si le détecteur ne s’active
toujours pas, retournez-le pour réparation.
MAINTENANCE
EFFECTUEZ LE TEST UNE FOIS PAR SEMAINE.
AVERTISSEMENT! UTILISEZ UNIQUEMENT LES PILES SPÉCIFIÉES. L’USAGE DE PILES
DIFFÉRENTES PEUT AVOIR UN EFFET NUISIBLE SUR LE DÉTECTEUR DE FUMÉE.
VOTRE DÉTECTEUR DOIT ÊTRE NETTOYÉ AU MOINS UNE FOIS UN AN.
Pour nettoyer votre détecteur, ôtez-le du socle de xation. Vous pouvez nettoyer
l’intérieur de votre détecteur à l’aide d’un tuyau d’air comprimé ou d’un aspirateur en
soufant ou en aspirant les orices situés autour du périmètre du détecteur. L’extérieur
du détecteur peut être essuyé avec un chiffon humide.
Après nettoyage, réinstallez et testez votre détecteur à l’aide du bouton de test. Si le
nettoyage ne restaure pas le fonctionnement normal de l’alarme, le détecteur doit être
remplacé.
AVERTISSEMENT: LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT ET MINUTIEUSEMENT
La norme NFPA 72 stipule: Un équipement d’alerte incendie pour locaux d’habitation
est capable de protéger environ la moitié des occupants des incendies potentiellement
mortels. Les victimes sont souvent proches de l’incendie, trop âgées ou trop jeunes,
présentent des déciences physiques ou mentales, de telle façon qu’elles ne peuvent
pas s’échapper, même si elles sont averties sufsamment tôt pour qu’une évacuation
soit possible. Pour ces personnes, d’autres stratégies telles que des mesures de
protection, une évacuation ou un secours assisté seraient nécessaires.
Un détecteur alimenté par piles doit avoir des piles du type spécié, en bon état
et convenablement installées.
Les détecteurs de fumée doivent être régulièrement testés pour s’assurer que les
piles et les circuits du détecteur sont en bon état de fonctionnement.
Les détecteurs de fumée ne peuvent pas produire une alarme si la fumée n’atteint
pas le détecteur. Par conséquent, les détecteurs de fumée ne peuvent pas
détecter les incendies commençant dans les cheminées, sur les murs, les toits, de
l’autre côté d’une porte fermée ou sur un autre étage.
Si le détecteur est situé hors de la chambre à coucher ou sur un autre étage, il
peut ne pas réveiller une personne profondément endormie.
Les études ont montré que les détecteurs de fumée et de chaleur peuvent ne
pas réveiller toutes les personnes endormies, et qu’il incombe aux habitants
de la maison qui sont en mesure d’aider les autres de porter assistance à ceux
qui pourraient ne pas être réveillés par le son de l’alarme ou ceux qui seraient
incapables d’évacuer le site en toute sécurité de manière autonome.
La consommation d’alcool ou de drogues peut également diminuer la capacité à
entendre l’alarme de fumée. Pour une protection maximale, installez un détecteur
de fumée dans chaque chambre à coucher à chaque étage d’une habitation.
Bien que les détecteurs de fumée puissent aider à sauver des vies en donnant
une alerte incendie précoce, ils ne se substituent pas à une police d’assurance.
Les propriétaires et les locataires doivent avoir une assurance adaptée à la
protection de leurs biens.
PLAN D’ÉVACUATION FAMILIALE
Selon la National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), il s’écoule souvent très peu
de temps entre la détection d’un incendie et le moment où il devient mortel. Cet
14
INST APD0601 C160927
intervalle peut être de seulement 1 ou 2 minutes. La planication et la pratique des
conditions d’incendie avec un accent sur l’évacuation rapide de l’habitation sont
importantes. Il faut organiser des exercices an que tous les membres de la famille
sachent quelle action entreprendre.
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
Faites un plan d’évacuation de la maison. Dessinez un plan de votre maison qui
indique toutes les portes et fenêtres. Discutez du plan avec tout le monde dans
votre maison.
Retenez au moins deux sorties de chaque pièce, si possible. Assurez-vous que
toutes les portes et fenêtres qui mènent dehors s’ouvrent facilement.
Ayez un point de rencontre à l’extérieur (comme un arbre, un lampadaire ou
une boîte aux lettres) à distance sûre de la maison, où tout le monde devrait se
rencontrer.
Pratiquez votre exercice d’incendie familial pendant la nuit et pendant le jour avec
tout le monde dans votre maison, deux fois par an.
Exercez-vous en utilisant différentes sorties.
Enseignez à vos enfants comment s’échapper seuls au cas où vous ne pourriez pas
les aider.
Fermez les portes derrière vous lorsque vous partez.
SI L’ALARME RETENTIT
Si l’alarme du détecteur de fumée retentit, sortez et restez dehors. Ne retournez
jamais à l’intérieur pour chercher des personnes ou des animaux.
Si vous devez évacuer à travers la fumée, baissez-vous et marchez sous la fumée
pour sortir.
Appelez le service des pompiers de l’extérieur de votre maison. POUR PLUS DE
