This section des cri bes th e basic steps for ad di ng t h e s ens or
to panel memory. For more detailed programming
information, refer to the specific panel installation
instructions.
To add the smoke alarm to panel me mory:
1. Remove smoke unit from mounting bracket.
2. Put the panel in Program Mode/Learn Se nsors.
3. Select a sensor group and sensor number.
4. Remove mounting bracket.
5. Press and hold the test button.
6. The panel will indicate that the sen so r has been learned.
7. Exit fr om program mo de.
Reinstall smoke unit on mounting bracket.
M ounting Guidelines
Determine the best mounting location for the smoke alarm
using the following guid elines:
❑ NFPA 72, Chapter 2, Section 2-2.1.1.1 states as fol-
lows: “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 unfinished attics. In new construction, a
smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping
room.”
❑ NFPA 72, Appendix A, Section A-2.5.2.1 states as fol-
lows: “Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms
Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms
might not provide reli able early warning protection fo r
those areas separated by a door from the areas of the
house protected by the requi red smoke alarms . For this
reason, it is recommended that the household consider
the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas of
increased protection. The additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, util-

Mounting Guidelines
Preliminary
ity roo, and hallways not protected by the required
smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in
kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is
not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experence conditions that can result in
improper operation.”
The above NFPA standards are a minimum
requirement for smoke sensor installation. For better
protection, we also require the installation of a smoke
sensor inside every bedroom in existing construction.
❑ DO NOT mount a smoke alarm to a drop ceiling tile;
mount it to a metal runner (see figure 2).
Figure 2.S moke ala rm mounted to drop ce iling.
❑ Mount all smoke alarms within 100 feet of the panel.
❑ Install a minimum of two smoke alarms in any house-
hold, no matter how small it is.
❑ Put a smoke alarm in the hallway outside of every bed-
room area. A minimum of two smoke alarms are
required in hom es with two bedroom area s (see
figure 3).

❑ Install basement alarms on the ceiling at the bottom of
the basement stairwell.
❑ Install smoke alarms on the ceiling as close to the cen-
ter of the room as possible. If this is not practical,
install it on the ceiling no closer than 4 inches (10 cm)
from any wall or corner (see figure 5).
❑ If ceiling mounting is not practical, inst all on an inside
wall between 4 and 6 inches (10 and 15 cm) from the
ceiling (see figure 5).
❑ Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroo m hallway if
the hallway is more than 30 feet (9 meters) long. Large
rooms over 900 square feet require more than a single
sensor.

❑ Areas with rough ceilings or short, transom-type walls
coming down from the ceiling require additional smoke
alarms.
❑ Install second-floor smoke alarms on the ceiling at the
top of the first-to-second floor stairwell. Be sure no
door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to
the unit.
❑ In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings,
install smoke alarms 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured down
on the slant from the highest point of the ceiling (see
figure 6).

Limitations
All alarms are subject to possible compromise or failure-towarn for a variety of reasons, for example:
❑ Smoke alarms cannot detect s moke in chimneys , walls,
roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door.
❑ Alarms may not detect smoke on other levels of the
building.

WARNING
!
Note
Note
Note
❑ Alarms may not warn in time when fires are caused by
smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.
Do Not Install Smoke Alarms in the Foll owi ng L ocations:
Mounting
Comma nde r and Caretaker pa nels will go into
ala rm if not in sensor test whe n the test button is
presse d.
2. Press and hold the tes t but t on on th e sm oke al arm for 3 to 4 seconds.
❑ In or near areas where combustion particles are nor-
mally present such as kitchens; in garages where there
are particles of combustion in vehicle exhausts; near
furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters.
❑ On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is
no transom between the kitchen and these rooms.
❑ In damp or very humid areas, or next to bat hrooms with
showers. Install sensors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters)
away from bathrooms.
❑ In very cold or very hot areas.
❑ In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
❑ Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty
areas. Air conditioners, heaters, fans, and fresh air
intakes and returns can drive smoke away from smoke
alarms.
❑ In dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or wall/
ceiling intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke from
reaching a smoke alarm.
❑ Near fluorescent light fixtures. Install smoke alarms at
least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fluorescent light
fixtures.
Mounting
The mounting bracket must be separated from the unit
before you begin.
To mount the smoke a larm:
1. Secure the mounting bracket directly onto wood surfaces using N o. 8, 1½ inch wood sc rews. If mounting
onto plaster or dry wall, use appropriate anchors .
2. Align the arrows on the mounting bracket with the
raised marks on the smoke alarm. Turn the smoke
alarm clockwise until it locks in place.
Testing
Figure 7.S moke Alarm Test Switch and Indica tor Light.
The sensor should immediately transmit an alarm signal,
causing the siren inside the smoke alarm to sound and the
status light to flash rapidly. Refer to the panel’s installation
instructions for response details.
After verifying that the siren and signal integrity are
adequate, you may want to cover the center opening
with your thumb. This will help reduce the siren noise
until the test is completed.
M aintaining the System
Replacing Batteries
When the batteries need to be replaced, the unit transmits a
signal to the panel. If the batteries are not replaced within 7
days, the unit will chirp every 40 seconds until the batteries
are exhausted.
If you test the sm oke alarm or it goe s into alarm during
this 7-day period, chirp delay is canceled and the unit
begins chirping immediately.
Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or high
humidity may reduce battery life. Replace both batteries
when the smoke alarm or panel notifies you that the
batteries are low.
For UL installations, use the following battery brands:
Sanyo CR123A, Panasonic CR123A, or Duracell
DL123A. These can be obtained through Interactive
Technologies, Inc. Do not mix brands.
Test each smoke alarm every week to verify that its siren
and signal integrity are adequate. R efer to the specific pan el
installation instructions for system response.
To test the smoke ala rm:
1. Put the panel in sensor test mode. Although not necessary for this model, it is a good practice to maintain.
Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for
details.
❑ Simon and Advent panels must be in sensor test. If
not, you will not see anything at the panel.

Emergencies
Develop plans for a variety of emergency situations.
Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans that
includ the following:
❑ Know the norma l stat of doors and windows; open,
closed, or locked.
❑ Use a different escape rout if closed doors feel hot to
the touch.
❑ Emphasize that everyone should escape as quickly as
possible. Do not stop to gather any belongings.
❑ Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help
reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
❑ Meet at a designated outdoor location.
❑ Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if
there is a fire.
❑ Notify fire department from a neighbor’s phone.
!
WARNING
If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do
not atte mp to e nter the building. C all for emergency as sista nce from a neighbor’s phone.
