SSL-SMOKE User’s Manual
IMPORTANT: Read all of the instructions before
attempting to install the SSL-SMOKE detector.
OPERATION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
Operation: The smoke detector is operating once the
battery is connected. When products of combustion are
sensed, the unit sounds a loud pulsating alarm until you
push the reset button once. Note: When the battery is
replaced or tested or the alarm is reset the smoke detecto
will operate normally after two minutes.
Testing: Test by pushing test button on cover and holding
the button down for about 2-seconds. This will sound an
alarm if all electronic circuitry is working properly. If no
alarm sounds, the unit has a defective battery or othe
failure. You can also test the smoke detector by blowing
smoke into it. Test the smoke detector monthly to assure
proper operation. Erratic noise or low sound from the
smoke detector may indicate a defective smoke detector.
Return it for service.
Warning: Test the smoke detector operation if an RV or a
mobile home vehicle has been in storage, and before each
trip, and at least once per week during use.
Maintenance: The smoke detector is virtually
maintenance free. However, under dusty conditions, a
vacuum may be used to clear the sensing chamber o
dust. Do not remove smoke detector cover when
vacuuming.
electronic chamber. Do not try to repair the smoke detector.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The smoke alarm is powered by one 9V carbon-zinc
battery (alkaline batteries may also be used). The battery
should provide operation for at least one year unde
normal operating conditions. The smoke alarm has a low
battery indicator, which will “chirp” at approximately
20-second intervals for a minimum of 7-days. Replace the
battery when chirping occurs. Use only 9-volt batteries.
These smoke detectors use a high technolog
THE LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors are devices that can provide early warnings
of possible developing fires at a reasonable cost. However,
smoke detectors have certain limitations. For battery
powered smoke detectors, the battery must be in good
condition and installed properly.
Smoke detectors cannot sound an alarm if smoke does not
reach the detector. Therefore smoke detector may not sense
fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side o
a closed door, or on a different floor. For maximum
protection, a smoke detector should be installed in each
separate sleeping area and on every level of a home.
lthough smoke detector can help save lives by providing
early warnings of a fire, they are not a substitute for an
insurance policy. Homeowners and renters should have
adequate insurance to protect their lives and property.
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
• Leave immediately. Every second counts, so don’t waste
time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
• In leaving, do not open any inside door without first
feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping
through the cracks, do not open that door! Instead, use
your alternate exit. If the inside door is cool, place you
shoulder against it and open it slightly, but be ready to
slam it shut if fire and/or smoke come in.
• Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly
through a cloth if possible wet it.
• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and
make sure everyone is there.
• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not
from yours!
• Do not return to your home until fire officials say that it’s
all right to do so.
Further information on fire safety can be obtained in a
pamphlet titled “In A Fire Seconds Count” published by the
NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Mass 02269.
FALSE ALARMS
The smoke alarm is designed to minimize false alarms.
Smoking will not normally set off the alarm unless smoke is
blown directly into the detector. Combustion particles from
cooking may set off the alarm if the detector is located close
to the kitchen. Large quantities of combustion particles are
generated from spills or broiling.
If the detector does alarm, check for fires first. If a fire is
discovered, get out and call the fire department. If no fire is
present, check to see if one of the reasons listed above
may have caused the alarm.
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
REQUIRED PROTECTION
For your information, the National Fire Protection
ssociation’s Standard 74, Section 2-1 provides information
regarding the smoke detection equipment required within
the family living unit. Section 2-1, 1.1 reads as follows:
“Smoke detectors 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
unfinished attics.
The provisions of 2-1, 1.1 represent the minimum numbe
of detectors required by this standard. It is recommended
that the householder consider the use of additional smoke
or heat detectors for increased protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke detectors under 2-1, 1.1 above. The
recommended additional areas are living room, dining
room, bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished),
furnace room, utility room, basement, integral or attached
garage, and hallways not included in 2-1, 1.1 above.
However, the use of additional detectors remains the opting
of the householder.”
The equipment should be installed in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 74 (NFPA,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Mass 02269)

IMPORTANT: Read all of the instructions before
attempting to install the SSL-SMOKE detector.
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS
IN A HOUSE
• Place the first smoke detector in the immediate area o
the bedrooms. Try to protect the exit path as the
bedrooms are usually farthest from an exit. If more
than one sleeping area exists, locate additional smoke
detectors in each sleeping area.
• Position smoke detectors to protect any stairway as
stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Mount at least one smoke detector on every floor.
• Place a smoke detector in every bedroom where a
smoker sleeps.
• Place a smoke detector in every room where electrical
appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters o
humidifiers).
• Place a smoke detector in every room where someone
sleeps with the door closed. The closed door may
prevent the alarm from waking the sleeper.
• Smoke, heat and other combustion products rise to
the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the
smoke detector on the ceiling in the center of the room
places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling
mounting is preferred in ordinary residential
construction.
• For mobile home installation, select location carefully
to avoid the thermal barrier that may form at the
ceiling. For more detail, see Mobile Home Installation.
• When mounting the smoke detector on the ceiling
mount it at a minimum of 4” (10 cm) from the sidewall
and 2 feet (60.96cm) from any corner (See Diagram).
• If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is
permitted by your local and state codes, put the smoke
detectors between 4 and 6 inches (10 and 15 cm) from
the ceiling (See Diagram).
• Put a smoke detector at both ends of a bedroom
hallway if the hallway is more than 30 feet long.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Mobile homes built in the past five to seven years have been
designed and insulated to be energy efficient. Install smoke
detectors as recommended (refer to RECOMMEND
LOCATIONS OF DETECTORS IN A HOUSE and Diagram).
In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to
present standards, extreme heat or cold can be transferred
from outside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This
may create a thermal barrier, which can prevent smoke from
reaching a smoke detector mounted on the ceiling. In such
units, install smoke detector on inside partition between 4
and 6 inches (10 and 15 cm) from the ceiling (See Diagram).
AVOID THESE LOCATIONS
• The kitchen-smoke from cooking might cause an
unwanted alarm.
• The garage, products of combustion are present when
you start your automobile.
• In front of forced air ducts used for heating and ai
conditioning and other high air flow areas.
• In the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.
• In areas where temperatures may fall below 40º or rise
above 100º.
• In dusty areas, dust particles may cause smoke
detectors to false alarm or fail to alarm.
• In very humid areas or near a bathroom, moisture can
cause false alarm.
• NEAR ELECTRICAL LIGHTS – Electrical “Noise” from
electrical lights may cause nuisance alarm. Put smoke
detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from such lights.
GOOD SAFETY HABITS
There are situations where a smoke detector may not be
effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFP
standard 74. For instance:
• Smoking in bed
• Leaving children home alone
• Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and
at least two escape routes from each room. Second
story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan,
showing everyone what to do in case of fire.
• Determine a place outside your home where all of you
can meet, if a fire occurs.
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the Smoke
Alarm and train them to leave your home when they
hear it.
• Identify children’s bedrooms with red stickers placed in
the upper left corner of the windows.
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice
allows you to test your plan before emergency. You
may not be able to reach your children. It is important
that they know what to do!
