SMCSM01-Z Smoke Sensor User Manual

Congratulations on purchasing your SMCSM01-Z Smoke Sensor.

The SMCSM01-Z Smoke Sensor is a low-profile wireless smoke detector designed to provide reliable smoke or fire detection. The SMCSM01-Z is ideal for
difficult-to-wire residential or commercial applications. This user manual has all the information to get your SMCSM01-Z Smoke Sensor up and running quickly.

If required, total coverage shall include all rooms, halls,
storage areas, basements, attics, lofts, spaces above
suspended ceilings, and other subdivisions and accessible
spaces; and the inside of all closets, elevator shafts, enclosed
stairways, dumbwaiter shafts, and chutes. Inaccessible areas
shall not be required to be protected by detectors. (For
exceptions, refer to NFPA 72.)

If required, partial detection systems shall be provided in all
common areas and work spaces, such as corridors, lobbies,
storage rooms, equipment rooms, and other tenantless spaces
in those environments suitable for proper detector operation
in accordance with this code.

Where codes, standards, laws, or authorities having
jurisdiction require the protection of selected areas only, the
specified areas shall be protected in accordance with this
code.

Where installed, detection that is not required by an
applicable law, code, or standard, whether total (complete),
partial, or selective coverage, shall conform to the
requirements of this code. (For exceptions, refer to NFPA 72
Chapter 2 Spacing Requirements.)

Where non required detection devices are installed for a
specific hazard, additional non required detection devices
shall not be required to be installed throughout an entire
room or building.

Heat-sensing fire detectors shall be installed in all areas
where required by the NFPA codes and standards or by the
authority having jurisdiction.

Approved, single-station smoke alarms shall be installed in
accordance with 7-6.2.10 of NFPA 101 outside every sleeping
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on all
levels of the dwelling unit including basements. (101:
18-3.4.4.2) (For exceptions, refer to this section of NFPA 72.)

Buildings Approved, single-station smoke alarms shall be

installation.

Install the SMCSM01-Z 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.

SMCSM01-Z Smoke Sensor Quick Start Guide

Placing the SMCSM01-Z

When choosing a location to install the SMCSM01-Z, consider:

Use of structure and type of construction
Contents you want to protect and their burning

characteristics
Human occupancy
Total area to be monitored
Ceiling height and surface condition
Air movement and vent locations
Obstructions
Deflections

After considering these factors, choose a location:

Where the temperature range is between 40° and 100° F
(4.4° and 37.8° C).

Where the humidity is between 0 and 90%
noncondensing.

Away from ventilation sources that can prevent smoke
from reaching the SMCSM01-Z.

That is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from bathrooms.

When placing the SMCSM01-Z on a ceiling, mount it in the
center of the room or hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away
from any walls or partitions.

When mounting the SMCSM01-Z on a wall, place it so the top
is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.

In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, locate
SMCSM01-Z sensors 3 feet (.9m) down or away from the
highest point of the ceiling.

If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the tile with
the appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal.

Locations to Avoid

Areas where normal ambient temperature exceeds 100°
F (37.8° C).

Dirty, dusty, insect infested areas.
In or near areas with combustion particles (kitchens, gar-

ages, furnaces, hot-water heaters, gas space heaters).
On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens, where there is

no transom between the kitchen and such rooms.
Damp or humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers.
Near fresh-air inlets or returns or very drafty areas.
Near heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air

intakes, which can drive smoke away from the sensor.
In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in

corners where walls and ceiling meet. Dead air can
prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm/detector.

Within 10 feet (3 m) of fluorescent light fixtures.

Installing the SMCSM01-Z

A. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the

SMCSM01-Z to unsnap it and lift it off.

B. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V lithium

batteries into the SMCSM01-Z battery compartment and
replace the battery compartment cover.

C. Remove the red plastic dust cover from the SMCSM01-Z.

The sensor ships with a dust cover for protection on
construction sites with dusty environments.

D. Disconnect alarm-notification appliances, service-release

devices and extinguishing systems. Test communications
between the control panel and the SMCSM01-Z before
permanently mounting the sensor as follows:

-

Hold the SMCSM01-Z where you plan to install it.

-

Press the SMCSM01-Z test button for 8-to-10 seconds.
The SMCSM01-Z sends a signal to the control panel.

- At the control panel, verify the signal was received

and that RF signal strength is adequate. If no signal is
received or the RF signal is low, relocate the
SMCSM01-Z and retest.

E. Using two supplied screws and anchors, mount the base.
F. Attach the SMCSM01-Z to the mounting base as follows:

- Line up the raised alignment tab on the lip of the

SMCSM01-Z with the arrow on the mounting base.

-

Insert the SMCSM01-Z into the base and turn clockwise
about 15 degrees until it snaps into place.

Note:

The SMCSM01-Z cannot be attached to the mounting

base if no batteries are installed.
