programming sheet. This number is required
during programming. As needed, use the zone name and number label to identify a specic transmitter.
Programming the Transmitter in the Panel
Program the device as a zone in Zone Information during panel programming. At the Serial Number: prompt, enter
the eight-digit serial number. Continue to program the zone as directed in the panel programming guide.
Note: When a receiver is installed, powered up, or the panel is reset, the supervision time for transmitters is
reset. If the receiver has been powered down for more than one hour, wireless transmitters may take up to
an additional hour to send a supervision message unless tripped, tampered, or powered up. This operation
extends battery life for transmitters. A missing message may display on the keypad until the transmitter sends
a supervision message.

that the householder consider the use of additional smoke detectors for those areas for increased protection.
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not
protected by the required smoke detectors. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (nished or
unnished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can
result in improper operation.
Additional Location Recommendations
Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of smoke detectors. This equipment should be installed in
accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72, Chapters 2 and 8. Depending on the
application, you may need to reference other chapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101.
Since regulations pertaining to smoke detector installation vary from state to state, contact the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be a federal, state, local, or other regional
department or individual such as a re chief, re marshal, chief of a re prevention bureau, labor or health
department, building ofcial, electrical inspector, or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an
insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In
some cases, the property owner or their designated agent assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations,
the commanding ofcer or department ofcial may be the AHJ.
Additional NFPA Guidelines, Smoke Detector Limitations, and Fire Prevention information are listed at the end of this
document.
Assistance Guidelines
An indication that 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.

Selecting the Proper Location
(LED Survey Operation)
The 1161/1162 Transmitter provides a survey capability to allow
one person to conrm transmitter communication with the
receiver. The 1161/1162 Transmitter PCB Red Survey LED turns
on whenever data is sent to the receiver then immediately turns
off when the receiver acknowledgement is received. Pressing the
test button is a convenient way to send data to the receiver to
conrm operation. The transmitter survey LED can be seen around
the test button location. When the transmitter does not receive
an acknowledgement from the receiver the LED remains on for
about 8 seconds to let you know communication is not established.
Communication is also faulty when the LED blinks multiple times
in quick succession. Relocate the transmitter or receiver until the
LED immediately turns off indicating the transmitter and receiver
are communicating properly. To verify proper communication, use
the test button until ve separate consecutive LED ashes display.
Program the transmitter as a zone in the panel to communicate with
the receiver.
One- and Two-Family Dwelling Units
Smoke Detection: Where required by applicable laws, codes, or
standards for the specic occupancy, approved single- and multiple-
station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:
a) In all sleeping rooms. Exception: Smoke alarms shall not be
required in sleeping rooms in existing one- and two-family dwelling
units.
b) Outside of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of
the sleeping rooms.
c) On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements.
Exception: In existing one-and two-family dwelling units, approved
smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
Additional Smoke Detectors: The required number of smoke
detectors might not provide reliable early warning protection for
those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke detectors. For this reason, it is recommended
General Guidelines
In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of false
alarms from the detector:
• Locate ceiling‑mounted smoke detectors in the center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or
partitions
• Locate wall‑mounted smoke detectors so the top of the detector is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling
• Mount smoke detectors on a rm permanent surface
• Locate the detector in environmentally controlled areas where the temperature range is between 40° and
100° F (4.4° and 37.8° C) and the humidity is between 0 and 90% non-condensing
• In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate detectors 3 feet (.9 meters) down or away from the
highest point of the ceiling
• When mounting to suspended ceiling tile, the tile must be secured with the appropriate fastener to prevent
tile removal
Locations to Avoid
To avoid false alarms, do not install smoke alarms/detectors:
• In or near areas where combustion particles are normally present such as in kitchens, garages, near furnaces,
water heaters, or gas space heaters
• On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no transom between the kitchen and such rooms
• In damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with showers, locate detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters)
away from bathrooms.
• In very cold or very hot areas
• In dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas
• Away from air conditioners, heating registers, and any other
ventilation source that may interfere with smoke entering
the detector.
• Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas
— heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes
can drive smoke away from smoke alarms/detectors
• In dead air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in corners
where walls and ceiling meet — dead air may prevent smoke
from reaching a smoke alarm/detector.
• Near uorescent light xtures — locate smoke alarms/
detectors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from these
xtures
Installing the Detector
Note: When setting up a wireless system, it is recommended to
program zones and connect the receiver before installing
batteries in the transmitters.
Use the following steps to install the detector.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the detector
to unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure 3.
2. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V lithium batteries
into the detector battery compartment. Place the ribbon
over the top of the batteries and replace the battery
compartment cover.
3. Locate and record the detector serial number. This number
is required during programming. See Programming the
Transmitter in the Panel.
4. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the detector. The
detector is shipped with a dust cover for protection on
construction sites with dusty environments.
5. Test the communication between the control panel and
the detector before permanently mounting the detector as
follows:
‑ Hold the detector up where you plan to install it.
‑ Press the Test button on the detector for 4 seconds. The
detector sends a signal to the control panel.
‑ At the control panel, verify the signal was received and
Figure 4: Smoke Detector‑to‑Base Alignment
the RF signal strength is adequate. If no signal is received
or the RF signal is low, relocate the detector and retest.
6. Using the two screws and anchors provided, mount the base.
7. Line up the raised tab on the lip of the detector with the slot on the lip of the mounting base. See Figure 4.
Important: The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be veried for a complete test of the system.
