PHOTOELETRIC SMOKE & HEAT ALARM

INTRODUCTION

Everday’s single station photoelectric smoke detector SD360 series
is designed to sense smoke that comes into the alarm chamber. It
does not sense gas, or flame. This smoke alarm is designed to give
early warning of developing fires by giving off the alarm sounds from
its built-in alarm horn. It can provide precious time for you and your
family to escape before a f ire s preads. However, the smoke alarm
makes such pre-warning of fire accident possible, only if the smoke
alarm is located, installed, and maintained properly as described in
this User's Manual.

WARNING:

unit only, which means that it s hould be used inside a single f amily home or
apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies, hallways, basements, or
another apartment in multi-f amily buildings, unless there are already working
alarms in eac h family unit. Smoke alarms , placed in common areas outside of
the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide
early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living unit
should set up its own smoke alarms.

WARNING:

Warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, and special purpose
non-residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm systems.
This smoke alarm alone is not a s uitable substitute for c omplete fire detection
systems for places where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels.
The same is true of dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes or group homes of
any kind, even if they were once single family homes. Please refer NFPA 101,
the Life Safety Code, NFPA 72A for smoke alarm requirements for fire
protection in buildings not defined as “households”.

WARNING:

It is strongly recommended that the special-purpose smoke alarms, using
lights or vibrating devices, should be installed to alert occupants who are hard
of hearing.

LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARM

Smoke alarms should be installed in accordanc e with the NFPA Standard 72
(National Fire Protection Association, Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02169).
For complete coverage in residential units, smoke alarms should be installed
in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, and attics in each family living
unit. Minimum coverage is one alarm on each floor and one in each s leeping
area.

Here, we have useful tips for you:

Ԧ Install a smoke alarm in the hallway outside every separate bedroom area,

Ԧ Install a smoke alarm on every floor of a multi-floor home or apartment, as

Ԧ Ins tall a minimum of two alarms in any household.
Ԧ Ins tall a smoke alarm ins ide every bedroom.

CAUTION

“Early warning fire” detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detec tion equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: (1) A
smoke alarm installed in each separ ate sleeping area (in the vic inity, but
outs ide of the bedrooms ), and (2) Heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms,
dining rooms, bedrooms , kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets,
utility and, storage rooms, basements and attached garages.”

For your information, NFPA Standard 72, Section 29 reads as follows:
“29.5.1 Smoke alarms s hall be installed outside of eac h separate s leeping
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 29.5.1 represent the minimum number of alarms required
by this standard. It is recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms for increas ed protection for those ar eas separated by
a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms under 29.5.1
above. The recommended additional areas are living room, dining room,
bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace rooms, utility room,
basement, integral or attached garage, and hallways not included in 29.5.1
above. However, the use of additional alarms remains the option of the
householder.” W e recommend complete coverage and use of additional
smoke alarms .

LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS

Nuisance alarms take place when smoke alarms are installed where they will
not wor k properly. To avoid nuisance alar ms, do not install smoke alarms in
the following situations:
Ԧ Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning.

Thus, in or near areas where combustion particles are present you do not
install the smoke alarms to avoid nuisance alar ms, such as kitchens with
few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there may be vehicle
exhaust, near furnaces , hot water heaters, and space heaters.

Ԧ Do not install smoke alarms less than 20 feet (6 meters) away f rom places

where combus tion par ticles are normally present, like kitc hens. If a 20-f oot
distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the alarm as far
away from the combustion partic les as possible, preferably on the wall. T o
prevent nuisance alarm alarms, provide good ventilation in s uch places.

IMPORTANT

alarms.

Ԧ W hen air streams pass ing by kitc hens, the way how an smoke alarm can

sense combustion particles in normal air-flow paths is graphically shown in
Figure 6, which indicates the correct and incorrect smoke alarm locations
concerning this problem.

: For any reason, do not disable the unit to avoid nuisance

Ԧ In damp or very humid areas , or near bathrooms with shower s. Moisture in

humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then turns into droplets upon
cooling, which can cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke alarms at leas t 10
feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms.

ԦIn very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor

rooms . If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of
smoke alarms, it will not work properly. The temperature range for your
smoke alarm is 0к~49к

Ԧ In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the alarm’s

sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt can
block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the alarm from sensing
smoke.

Ԧ Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or

fans, f resh air vent s and drafts c an drive smoke away from smoke alarms.

Ԧ Dead air spac es are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners

between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching an
alarm . See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting locations.

Ԧ In insect-infested areas. If insec ts enter an alarm’s sensing chamber, they

may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of them
before putting up an alarm.

Ԧ Near fluorescent lights, electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may cause

nuisance alarms . Install smoke alarms at least 5 feet (1.5 meters ) f rom
such lights.

WARNING:
