NOTES:
1. Exposure to weather or corrosive conditions may damage the unit.
2. Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
3. Perform the signal test described in this manual prior to and after
permanently mounting the unit. Note:
4. If the detector is mounted to a removable ceiling t ile, the tile must be secured
with the appropriate fasteners to prevent tile removal or mount the detector
across a ceiling panel support as shown in Figure 2.
IMPORTANT:
1. Both batteries MUST be installed for the detector to operate properly.
2. The detector will initiate a low battery trouble if both batteries are not
installed within 90 seconds of each other. The detector must be power cycled
to clear this fault.
Figure 2 Proper Mounting to Ceiling Tile
Cautions:
1. Make sure the batteries are firmly installed in the smoke detector battery
compartment.
2. The unit must be secured tightly to the wall, so as to not be dislodged.
3. Test the unit after any service, battery change or as often as local or national codes
dictate.
DO NOT Install Detectors in the Following Areas:
• In or near areas where particles of combustion are normally present such as
kitchens; in garages; near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters.
• In an area where cross-interference gasses are present. Cross interference
gasses include but are not limited to: Methane, Butane, Heptane, Ethyl Acetate,
Isopropyl Alcohol, Carbon Dioxide, Ammonia, Ethanol, Toluene, Trichloroethane
and Acetone.
• Within 10 feet of a flame fueled appliance.
• In any area that is out of the detectors environmental specification range.
• In wet or excessively humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers.
• In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
• Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas.
NOTE: Consult NFPA 72, NFPA 720, the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ),
and/or applicable codes for specific information regarding the spacing and placement
of smoke and/or CO detectors. Refer to techn ical bulletins part numbers IM-300-TBRevB and IM-350-TB-Rev A for more information.
