ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

TYPES OF ALARMS

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of res if located, installed and cared

for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of

Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72 (National Fire

Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). National Fire Protection Association, One

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9101. Local building codes may also require specic units in

new construction or in different areas of the home.

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the

batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require professional

installation. They do not, however, provide interconnected functionality.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units Alarm.

They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and

correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualied electrician.

Wireless Interconnected Alarms: Offer the same interconnected functionality as with hardwired

Alarms, without wires. Units are easy to install and do not require professional installation. They

provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed.

Smoke Alarms for solar or wind energy users and battery backup power systems: AC powered

Smoke Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Smoke

Alarm with most batterypowered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or

“quasi sine wave” inverters If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS will damage the Alarm.

type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for the

hearing impaired. They include a visual Alarm and an audible Alarm horn, and meet the requirements

of the Americans With Disabilities Act. These units can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke,

all units Alarm.

Smoke Alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated

and found suitable for that purpose.

All First Alert

Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are

designed to detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are

produced in all res.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at

detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by aming res,

which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these res

may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease re in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at

detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering

res, which may smolder for hours before bursting into ame. Sources of these res may

include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every

bedroom of your home.

INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every oor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See

“Regulatory Information For Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm

should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the

bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every

level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away

from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured

homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the

furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm

the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted Alarms.

IN GENERAL, INSTALL COMBINATION SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS:

• On every level of your home, including nished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a unit in each.

If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• At the top of rst-to-second oor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures

normally remain between 40˚ F and 100˚ F (4.4˚ C and 37.8˚ C).

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

Smoke Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Fire Extinguisher

One on every level, plus

kitchen and garage

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches

(102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the Alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke

from reaching the Alarm.

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU AVOID INSTALLING SMOKE/CO ALARMS

IN THESE AREAS:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unnished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty

or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns.

Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at

least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater,

space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular,

mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far

from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended

to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce

“unwanted” Alarms. Unwanted Alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a

fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can

draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted Alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna,

humidier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from

reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). These

areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces, unnished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated

ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from uorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere

with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm. To avoid dead air spaces,

follow installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not

possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke/CO Alarms should be placed

between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the rst Smoke/CO Alarm within 3 feet (0.9

meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional Smoke/CO Alarms may be required

depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements

for sloped or peaked ceilings.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

IMPORTANT!

This Smoke/CO Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch

(10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local codes). Read “Where to Install This Alarm”

and “Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed” before you begin installation.

Find the self-adhesive labels included with this Smoke/CO Alarm.

• On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualied

appliance technician.

• Place one label near the Smoke/CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan

to go if the Alarm sounds.

NOTE: A qualied appliance technician is dened as “a person, rm, corporation, or company that

either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing,

servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion

appliances and equipment, and/or gas replaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

Tools you will need: needle-nose pliers or utility knife, standard athead screwdriver, wire strippers

each Alarm individually to check if the Alarm is functioning properly.

DANGER!

If any unit in the series does not Alarm during testing, TURN OFF POWER and recheck

connections. If it does not Alarm when you restore power, replace it immediately.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTED ALARMS

! WARNING!

• Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to

malfunction, removing your protection.

• AC and AC/DC Alarms can be interconnected. Under AC power, all units will Alarm when one

senses smoke or CO. When power is interrupted, only the AC/DC units in the series will continue to

send and receive signals. AC powered Alarms will not operate.

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of a smoke/CO problem than stand-alone units,

especially if the problem starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit in the series senses smoke/

CO, all units will Alarm. To determine which Smoke/CO Alarm initiated an Alarm, refer to the table.

LATCHING FEATURES

Alarm Latch is activated after an Alarm is exposed to Alarm levels of smoke or carbon

monoxide. This feature will only work with AC power. See “Special Requirements for

Interconnected Alarms” for signaling.

This feature helps emergency responders, investigators, or service technicians identify which

unit(s) in your home were exposed to Alarm levels of smoke. This can help investigators

pinpoint the source of smoke.

Interconnected Alarms. Latching Alarm Indicator shows which Alarm(s) in the series were

exposed to Alarm levels of smoke. The Latching Alarm Indicator stays ON until you clear it,

so it can alert you to an Alarm that occurred while you were away from home, even though

smoke present in the air has dropped below Alarm levels.

Low Battery Latch is activated when the Alarm is in the “low battery condition”. When this

occurs, the Green LED ashes 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off. This feature is designed to help

you identify which Alarm needs to be replaced.

“SMART INTERCONNECT” FEATURE

This Alarm includes “Smart Interconnect” which enables the Alarm to be interconnected with other First

Alert

Smoke, Heat, and “Smart Interconnect” CO Alarms. When smoke is detected, all Alarms will sound

the smoke horn pattern. When CO is detected, “Smart Interconnect” Alarms will sound the CO horn pattern.

Alarms that do not have the “Smart Interconnect” feature will remain silent during a CO Alarm.

OPTIONAL LOCKING FEATURE

The optional locking feature is designed to discourage unauthorized removal of the Alarm. It is

not necessary to activate the locks in single-family households where unauthorized removal

is not a concern.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke

in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store ammable materials in proper

containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical circuits;

5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, replaces and chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6) Never leave

anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open ames, like candles,

away from ammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate. Keep Alarms clean, and test them

weekly. Replace Alarms immediately if they are not working properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work

cannot alert you to a re. Keep at least one working re extinguisher on every level, and an additional

one in the kitchen. Have re escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper level in

case stairs are blocked; 9) Have an escape plan and practice it regularly.

IF YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS

WHAT TO DO FIRST: IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALARM SIGNAL

Refer to previous section “What You Will See And Hear With This Alarm”.

! WARNING!

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In

other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Press the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, re department or 911. Write down the number of your local

emergency service here:

____________________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check

that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door

or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out,

and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps

1-3 and call a qualied appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning

equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are

identied during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion

equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact

the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure

that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the

residence. Write down the number of a qualied appliance technician here:

____________________________________________________________________

NOTE: A qualied appliance technician is dened as “a person, rm, corporation, or company that

either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing,

servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion

appliances and equipment, and/or gas replaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

IF THE SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS:

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

! WARNING!

• If the unit Alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous

situation that requires your immediate attention. ignore any Alarm. Ignoring the Alarm may NEVER

result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO Alarm to stop an unwanted Alarm

(caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the Alarm so it cannot sense smoke,

and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The

Alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit Alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all Alarms are completely installed.

Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock,

injury or death.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t

open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure

everybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

! WARNING!

Alarms have various limitations. See “General Limitations of Smoke/CO Alarms” for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

! WARNING!

The Silence Feature does not disable the unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive to smoke. For

your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough to suggest a potentially dangerous situation,

the unit will stay in Alarm or may re-Alarm quickly. If you do not know the source of the smoke, do

not assume it is an unwanted Alarm. Not responding to an Alarm can result in property loss, injury,

or death. If the unit will not silence and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode

continuously, it should be replaced immediately.

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted Alarm. Removing the batteries disables the

Alarm and removes your protection.

• The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the

problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not correct a CO problem

or extinguish a re.

• The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted Alarm for several minutes. You can silence

this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover.

Activate the Alarm test, reset or silence function by use of a nger or thumb. Use of any other

instrument is strictly prohibited.

When the Smoke Alarm is Silenced When the CO Alarm is Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain silent

for up to 15 minutes, then returns to

normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or continues to

increase–the device will go back into Alarm.

The CO Alarm will remain silent for

up to 6 minutes.

After 6 minutes, if CO levels remain

potentially dangerous the horn will start

sounding again.

TO SILENCE SMOKE ALARMS IN AN INTERCONNECTED SERIES

1. To silence multiple Alarms in an interconnected series, you must press the Test/Silence button on

the unit(s) that initiated the Alarm. The red LED on the initiating Alarm will ash. The red NOTE:

LED will be Off on all other non-initiating Alarms. Once silenced, no audible sound will be heard.

While the unit is in “silence mode”, pressing and holding the Test/Silence button for approximately 10

seconds will test the unit. After testing, the unit will re-enter “silence mode” and the timer is reset.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY/END OF LIFE WARNING

This Silence Feature can temporarily quiet the low battery/end of life warning “chirp” for up to 48

hours. Press the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover until you hear the acknowledge “chirp”.

Once the low battery/end of life warning “chirp” Silence Feature is activated, the unit continues to

ash the green light 5 times every minute for up to 48 hours. Then, the end of life “chirp” will resume.

Replace the unit as soon as possible, to maintain protection in event of a power outage.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are

exposed to heat (usually re). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly

ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger now that homes are more

energy efcient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproong

can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“u-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure. Exposure to carbon

monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

IMPORTANT!

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It Alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a

short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO

Alarm generally sounds an Alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is

this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in

time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but

become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young

children and pets may be the rst affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms

when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn

babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you

experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difcult to locate the source of CO

after an Alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difcult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difcult to locate the

source of CO. First Alert shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation

or service call.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like:

portable heater, gas or wood

burning replace, gas kitchen range

or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufcient venting:

corroded or disconnected water

heater vent pipe, leaking chimney

pipe or ue, or cracked heat

exchanger, blocked or clogged

chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/

device: operating a barbecue grill

or vehicle in an enclosed area (like

a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor

conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air

with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, replace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home. Since these

conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.
