Smoke Alarm Features

•These smoke alar ms are powered by 120V AC (Model G)
or 120V AC with a 9-volt battery back-up source (Model
AD). AC/DC smoke alarms offer added protection in the
event of a power failure.

•Unique power connector prevents inter connection with
incompatible smoke alarms or security systems.

•This smoke alar m can be interconnected with as many as
17 other specific model smoke alarms.

•Optional tamper-resist featur e can serve as a safeguard
against tampering.

•Unique “batter y missing” signal. The smoke alarm will
not attach to the mounting bracket if a battery is not in
the battery pocket on Model AD.

•Improperly connected or weak batter y signal. The smoke
alarm will sound a shor t beep about once a minute if the
battery is weak or improperly connected on Model AD.

•Multi-purpose green and r ed LEDs indicate that the smoke
alarm is receiving AC power, working under normal opera­tion, and/or in alarm (Model AD only).

•Loud alar m horn-85 decibels at 10 feet-sounds to alert
you to an emergency.

•Test button checks smoke alarm operation.

•Constant green LED indicates the alar m is connected to
and receiving AC Power.

Important Safety Information

•This smoke alar m requires constant 120-volt, AC power
AND (Model AD only) a working 9-volt battery to operate
properly. This smoke alarm WILL NOT work if AC power is
not connected or has failed or been interrupted for any
reason AND (Model AD only) the battery is removed,
drained, or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other
kind of battery except as specified in this manual (Model
AD only). DO NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other
type of smoke alarm or auxiliar y device, except those list­ed in this manual.

•DO NOT remove or disconnect batter y or turn off AC
power to quiet unwanted alarms. This will remove your
protection. Open windows or fan the air around smoke
alarm to silence it.

•The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all smoke alarm
functions. DO NOT use any other test method. Test
smoke alarm weekly to ensure proper operation.

•This smoke alar m should be installed only by a licensed,
qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and
national electrical and building codes for installation.

•This smoke alar m is designed to be used inside a single­family household. In multi-family buildings, each individual
living unit should have its own alarms. It is not a substitute
for a complete commercial alarm system. It should be used
only as supplemental protection in hotels, motels, dormito­ries, hospitals, nursing homes, or group homes.

•Install a smoke alar m in every room and on ever y level of
the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm for
many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a r emote

INSTALLER: Please leave this manual with the product.

The ionization type alarms are generally more ef fective at detecting
fast, flaming fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and
spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable
liquids or paper burning in a waste container. The photoelectric
type alarms are generally more ef fective at detecting slow, smolder­ing fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame.
Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or
bedding. However, both types of alarms are designed to provide
adequate detection of both types of fires. If you desire the benefits
of both systems, you should install smoke alarms that combine in
one alarm both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies.

part of the home, on another level, in a chimney, wall,
roof, or on the other side of a closed door, smoke may
not reach the smoke alarm in time to aler t household
members. A smoke alarm will not promptly detect a fire
EXCEPT in the area or room in which it is installed.

•Inter connected smoke alarms installed in every r oom and
on every level of the household of fer maximum protection.
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends
interconnecting smoke alarms so that when one smoke
alarm senses smoke and sounds its alarm, all others will
sound as well. Do not interconnect smoke alarms from
one individual family living unit to another. Do not
connect this smoke alarm to any other type of alarm or
auxiliary device.

•Smoke alar ms may not alert ever y household member
every time. There may be limiting cir cumstances where a
household member may not hear the alarm (e.g., outdoor
or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the
hard of hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm
may not alert a household member, install and maintain
specialty smoke alarms. Current studies have shown
smoke 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 to those who may be incapable of safely evacu­ating the area unassisted.

•Smoke alar ms can only sound their alarms when they
detect smoke. Smoke alarms detect combustion par ticles
in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This
smoke alarm is designed to give audible warning of a devel­oping fire. However, many fires are fast-burning, explosive,
or intentional. Others are caused by carelessness or safety
hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY
ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.

•Smoke alar ms have limitations. This smoke alarm is not
foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or proper ty
from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insur­ance. Homeowners and renters should insure their lives
and property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke
alarm to fail at any time. For this reason, you must test
the smoke alarm weekly and replace ever y 10 years.

•Smoke alar ms must not be used with detector guards
unless the combination of alarm and guard has been eval­uated and found suitable for that purpose.

Proper Placement of Your Smoke Alarm

Code One Safety recommends complete coverage protection
achieved by installing a smoke alarm in ever y room of your home.

THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72
(National Fire Protection Association, Batterymar ch Park, Quincy, MA

02269).

The NFPA standard identifies the minimum requirement for locating
smoke alarms in family living units.

It states:

“2-2.1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each sepa­rate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on
each additional story of the family living unit including basements
and excluding crawl spaces and unfurnished attics. In new construc­tion a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping room.”

Further, section 2-2.2.1 states that:

“In new construction, where more than one smoke alarm is requir ed
by 2-2.1, they shall be so arranged that operation of any smoke
alarm shall cause the alarm in all smoke alarms within the dwelling
to sound.”

The NFPA, 1993 Edition, Appendix A, however, clearly points out
that:

“The required number of smoke alarms (as defined in the para­graphs above) may not provide reliable early warning protection for
those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the
householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those
areas for increased protection. The additional areas include: base­ment, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hall­ways not protected by the required smoke alarms.”

Further, the California State Fire Marshal states that the minimum
number of required smoke alarms is not enough to give the earliest
warning under all conditions. The California State Fire Marshal
states that:

“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of
fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as
follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in
the vicinity, but outside the bedrooms), and heat or smoke alarms in
the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics,
furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and
attached garages.”

It is clear that the earliest warning of a developing fire is best
achieved by the installation of smoke alarms in all rooms and areas
of the residence. Accordingly, Code One Safety recommends that
you install smoke alarms in ever y room of your residence (including
basements and attics) even though this is not required by the typical
code or standard.

In addition, we recommend that you interconnect all smoke alarms
capable of being interconnected.

Code One Safety recommends a minimum of two smoke alarms in
every home, no matter how small the home (including ef ficiency
apartments). Code One Safety also recommends maximum cover­age by installing smoke alarms in both required and recommended
locations as illustrated and described hereafter.

2

110-570H English 11/8/06 11:05 AM Page 2

Existing Homes:

The NFPA requires a smoke alarm on every level and outside
each sleeping area in existing construction. An existing
household with one level and one sleeping area is required to
have one smoke alarm.

New Construction Homes:

The NFPA requires AC-powered, interconnected smoke alarms
to be installed inside each bedroom, outside each bedroom
area, and on every level of the home. They also requir e a
minimum of two AC-powered, interconnected smoke alarms in
any new construction home.

Mobile Home Installation:

•For minimum protection, smoke alar ms should be
installed in compliance with H.U.D. Manufactured Home
Construction Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Section

3280.208 and Section 3282.

•For additional protection, see single-stor y residence
smoke alarm requirements and recommendations for
existing homes and new construction.

NOTE: For mobile homes built before 1978, install smoke
alarms on inside walls between 4 and 12 inches from the ceil­ing (older mobile homes have little or no insulation in the ceil­ing). This is especially important if the ceiling is unusually hot
or cold.

Additional Alarm Placement Information

Install a smoke alarm as close to the center of the ceiling as
possible. If this is not practical, mount no closer than 4
inches from a wall or corner. Also, if local codes allow wall
mounting, install smoke alarms on walls between 4 and 12
inches from ceiling/wall intersections.

Install a smoke alarm in each room that is divided by a par tial
wall (either coming down from the ceiling at least 24 inches,
or coming up from the floor).

Install smoke alarms on peaked, cathedral, or gabled ceilings
3 feet from the highest point (measured horizontally).

Install a smoke alarm in lived-in attics or attics which house
electrical equipment like furnaces, air conditioners, or heaters.

DO NOT Install Smoke Alarms:

•In ar eas where combustion particles are pr esent.
(Combustion particles are the by-products of something that
is burning.) Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated
kitchens, garages, near furnaces, or near hot water
heaters. Place smoke alarm as far from the source of com­bustion particles as possible to prevent nuisance alar ms.

•In damp or ver y humid areas such as bathrooms with
showers where normal humidity may rise above 93% rela­tive humidity. Areas above this humidity level can cause
false alarm.

•In direct air flow nor within 3 feet of air r eturns or heating
and cooling supply vents. Install at least 3 feet (0.9
meters) away from these areas. The air could blow
smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.

•In rooms wher e temperatures may fall below 40°F (4°C) or
rise above 100°F (38°C).

•In extremely dusty, dir ty, or insect-infested areas. Loose
particles inter fere with smoke alarm operation.

Testing the Smoke Alarm

•Test each smoke alarm to be sure it is installed corr ectly
and operating properly.

•Test all smoke alarms in an interconnected system
after installation.

•The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all functions. DO
NOT use an open flame to test this smoke alarm. You
may ignite and damage the smoke alarm or your home.

• Test smoke alarms weekly and upon returning from vacation
or when no one has been in the household for several days.

•Stand at ar m’s length from the smoke alarm when test­ing. The alarm horn is loud to aler t you to an emergency
and can be harmful to hearing.

Test all smoke alarms weekly by doing the following:

1. Check Push-to-Test button. A constant green light indi-

cates the smoke alarm is receiving 120V AC power
(Model AD only).

2. Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button for at least five

(5) seconds. The smoke alarm will sound a loud beep
about three (3) times over a four-second period. The
alarm may sound for up to 10 seconds after releasing
the Push-to-Test button.

NOTE:

If smoke alarms are interconnected, all smoke alarms
should sound an alarm within three seconds after any test
button is pushed and the tested smoke alarm sounds.

3. If smoke alarm does not sound, turn of f power at main

fuse box or circuit breaker and check wiring. Retest
smoke alarm.

REPLACE OR RETURN THE ALARM IF THE PUSH-TO-TEST
FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER FOLLOW­ING THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE (see REPAIR on

Practice Fire Safety

If the smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, and you have not
pushed the test button, it is warning of a dangerous situation.
Your immediate response is necessary. To prepare for such
occurrences, develop family escape plans, discuss them with
ALL household members, and practice them regularly.

•Expose ever yone to the sound of a smoke alarm and
explain what the sound means.

•Deter mine TWO exits from each room and an escape
route to the outside from each exit.

•Teach all household members to touch the door and use
an alternate exit if the door is hot. Instruct them not to
open the door if the door is hot.

•Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.

•Deter mine a safe meeting place for all members outside
the building.

What To Do In Case Of A Fire

1. Don’t panic; stay calm.

2. Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors

to feel if they are hot before opening them. Use an
alternate exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor, and
DO NOT stop to collect anything.

3. Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building.

4. Call the fire department from outside the building.

5. Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for the

fire department to ar rive.

These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire.
However, to reduce the chance that fires will start, practice
fire safety rules and prevent hazardous situations.
