Location and Placement

All connections should be made by a professional technician, and all wiring should comply with articles 210 and 300.3 (B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72, and/or any other codes having jurisdiction in your area.
Location in Your Home
In accordance with NFPA recommendations, it is recommended to install an X-Sense smoke and carbon monoxide alarm:

• On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.
• Inside every bedroom or adjacent hallway to every sleeping area. If a room or hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 m), install a device at each end.
• In every room containing a fuel-burning appliance.
• In all rooms, hallways, and storage areas where the temperature is usually between 40—100°F (4.4—37.8°C).

Placement on a Wall or Ceiling
It is recommended that you install an alarm on the ceiling so that it can detect the first traces of smoke when smoke rises. However, regardless of where you install it, ensure that nothing can prevent smoke or CO from reaching the alarm.
If you install the device on the ceiling, center it in the room, as smoke spreads horizontally after rising to the ceiling. Make sure it is at least 20 inches (50 cm) away from the wall.
If an alarm is installed onto a wall, keep 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) below the ceiling.
If you install the alarm on a sloped ceiling, place it between 4 inches (10 cm) and 35 inches (90 cm) from the peak. Keep the device at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from potential smoke or fume sources such as stoves, furnaces, water heaters, and space heaters.

Mobile Home Installation
In mobile homes or older houses, extreme heat and cold can spread from the outside to the inside due to poorly insulated walls and roofing. This may create a thermal barrier that can prevent smoke from reaching the alarm. In this situation, install the device on an inside wall with the top edge of the device at a minimum of 4 nches (10 cm) and a maximum of 12 inches (30 cm) below the ceiling.
If you are unsure about the insulation quality of your home, install the alarm on an inside wall near the bedrooms. Test the alarm before each trip and at least once a week during use.
Locations to Avoid
Improper ocation can have a negative impact on device performance and may cause false alarms. To promote accurate detection and full protection of your home, do not install this combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms:

• In a garage or any area that s dusty, dirty, or greasy.
• In bathrooms, kitchens, garages, attics, n unheated areas, or near recessed ceiling areas, ceiling fans, furnaces, or furnace vents. Keep the alarm at east 3 feet (0.9 m) away horizontally from bathroom doors.
• Within 5 feet (1.5 m) of smoke sources, such as a stove.
• In extremely humid environments. Keep the unit at least 10 feet (3 m) away from baths, saunas, humidifiers, vaporizers, dishwashers, aundry rooms, or other sources of extreme humidity.
• In turbulent air, such as near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioner vents, or open windows, as excessive airflow may prevent CO from reaching the sensors.
• Under direct sunlight.
• In dead air spaces that may prevent smoke from reaching the device.
• Near cooking appliances, dusty areas, showers, or any areas where the temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C) or rises above 100°F (37.8°C).

Installation

This combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm should be nstalled by a qualified technician, and all wiring should be n accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 and relevant regulations or applicable codes n your ocal jurisdiction. Specific requirements for this alarm vary by state and region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements n your area.

What to Do when an Alarm Sounds
If an alarm s triggered, all other interconnected alarms will sound simultaneously with the initiating alarm. If the smoke alarm and CO alarm are both triggered at the same time, the smoke alarm will take priority over the CO alarm in terms of signaling. When an alarm sounds, the first thing to do is identify the type of alarm.
Note: If the initiating alarm is an XP02-AR alarm, the other interconnected XP02-AR alarms will report a voice with location; if the initiating alarm is not an XP02-AR alarm, the other interconnected XP02-AR alarms will still report a voice but without location.
If a smoke alarm is triggered, you will hear and see:

| Initiating Device| Other Interconnected Devices
---|---|---
Buzzer| 3 beeps every 4 seconds
LED Indicator| Flashes red 3 times every 4 seconds.| Flash red and green n sequence every 4 seconds.
Voice Alarm| Warning. Smoke detected in location. Evacuate.

How to respond to a smoke alarm:

1. Locate the source of fire. If a fire is present, exit the house immediately.
2. Do not panic. Stay calm and follow your escape plan.
3. Touch doors before you open them. If the door is not hot to the touch, open t slowly. f hot, avoid it. Keep doors and windows closed unless you must escape through them.
4. Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.
5. Once outside, call the Fire Department as soon as possible.
6. Never re-enter a burning building for any reason.

If a CO alarm is triggered, you will hear and see:

| Initiating Device| Other Interconnected Devices
---|---|---
Buzzer| 4 beeps every 5.8 seconds
LED ndicator| Flashes red every 5.8 seconds| Flashes red 4 times and green once every 5.8 seconds
Voice Alarm| Warning. Carbon monoxide detected n location. Move to fresh air.

How to respond to a CO alarm:

1. Call emergency services as soon as possible.
2. Move outside mmediately for fresh air. Make sure everyone in the house has evacuated the area. Do not re-enter the house until the air n the house has had time to recirculate and your alarms return to normal working condition. If it is mpossible to move outside, stay close to an open door/window until emergency personnel arrives.
3. After following steps 1-2, if your alarm alerts again within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-2 and call a qualified technician to nvestigate sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances to ensure proper operation of this equipment.

This smoke & carbon monoxide alarm has two separate sensors that work ndependently of each other. The carbon monoxide sensor will not detect fire or any other gases, but alerts you to the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may also be present n other areas. The smoke sensor will only indicate the presence of smoke at the sensor. The smoke sensor s not designed to detect gas, heat, or flames.
WARNING

• Never gnore any alarm, as this may result in serious injury or even death.

• The silence function will not remove any sources of danger. It s merely for convenience. Check your home safety for any potential dangers when an alarm is triggered. Failure to do so may result in serious njuries or even death.

• Test this smoke/CO alarm once a week. If the alarm ever fails to test correctly, replace it mmediately! If the alarm s not working properly, it will not alert you to a problem.

• This product s intended for use n indoor households. t is not designed to measure CO levels in compliance with occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. ndividuals with medical conditions that may make them more sensitive to carbon monoxide should consider using devices that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. For additional information on carbon monoxide or related medical conditions, contact your physician.

• The replacement date that appears on the device is the date beyond which the device may no onger detect carbon monoxide accurately, at which point the device should be replaced.
  This device s designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure.

• It may not fully safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. If you have any concerns, consult a medical practitioner.

• Do not disconnect power from an AC powered unit to silence a false alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protection.

Smoke Alarm
Limitations of Smoke Alarms
Alarms reduce deaths resulting from home fires worldwide. However, smoke alarms will only work when properly ocated, nstalled, and maintained, and only if smoke reaches the alarms.

• Smoke alarms may not wake up all individuals. Make sure you create an escape plan, and you practice fire drills with all family members.
• Smoke alarms cannot work without power. f they are battery powered, they cannot work if the batteries are missing, dead, or disconnected. If the alarm is wired, it cannot work during extended power outages, as the backup battery will die. X-Sense will notify you in advance when batteries are running low so that you have time to replace them.
• Smoke will not be able to reach the smoke sensor while the dust cover is in place. The dust cover must be removed.
• Smoke alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach the alarm. For example, if a door s closed, smoke may not reach the smoke alarm. This is why you should have a smoke alarm in every bedroom and in hallways, as bedroom doors are often closed at night.
• Smoke alarms may not be heard. Although the smoke alarm is equipped with a oud buzzer measuring at 85 dB, it may not be heard f 1) people have consumed alcohol or drugs, 2) the alarm s drowned out by noise from a stereo, TV, traffic, air conditioner, or other appliances, 3) residents are hearing mpaired or have high-frequency hearing loss. Special smoke alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired.
• This smoke alarm alone s not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places that house lots of people, such as flats, condominiums, hotels, guest houses, residence halls, hospitals, long-term health care facilities, nursing homes, daycare facilities, or group homes of any kind. It is also not a suitable substitute for a complete fire detection system in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes n your area, this smoke alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

CO Alarm
CO Alarm Level
This alarm will sound an alarm when the following CO concentrations are detected within the time periods isted:

• 70 ppm for 60-240 minutes
• 150 ppm for 10-60 minutes
• 400 ppm for 4-15 minutes

When the CO concentration reaches the alarm level, this alarm will emit four short beeps, and the LED indicator will flash red every 5.8 seconds.
CO Concentration and Symptoms
The table below shows the effects that different evels of CO can have on the body:

Risk to life after over 3 hours of exposure.
800| Severe headaches, convulsions, vital organ failures. Death possible within 2 or 3 hours.

Limitations of CO Alarms

• The alarm may not wake up everyone in the house. If children or other people do not quickly wake up, or if you have infants or family members with imited mobility, make sure they are assisted during an emergency.
• This alarm will not detect CO that does not reach the sensor. Doors or other obstructions may prevent CO from reaching the alarm, so make sure there is at east one alarm nstalled in sleeping areas, where the door s often closed at night.
• CO alarms may not sense CO on another level of the house. For example, a CO alarm on the second evel may not sense CO n the basement. Therefore, placing CO alarms on each level of the house is recommended.
• CO alarms may not always be heard. The alarm noise level is over 85 dB at a distance of 10 feet (3 m). However, if the CO alarm is nstalled outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or someone who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcohol. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partially open. Even people that are already awake may not hear the alarm if the sound is drowned out by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, or other appliances can also prevent people from hearing the alarm. This CO alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
• CO alarms are not a substitute for life nsurance. Though these CO alarms warn you of increasing CO evels, we do not warrant or imply n any way that they will protect anyone from CO poisoning. Homeowners and renters must still nsure their lives.
• CO alarms have a limited life. Although the CO alarm and all of its parts have passed stringent testing and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you test your CO alarm weekly.
• CO alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO alarms have imitations. They can only detect CO that reaches the sensor. They may not give an early warning of rising CO levels if the CO is coming from a remote part of the house or is far away from the CO alarm.

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Turn off power to the area where you want to install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installation. Failure to turn off power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, njury, or death.
• Do not restore power until all alarms are completely installed. Doing so may result in serious electrical shock, injury, or death.
• Turn off power to the area where the alarm is installed before removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off power first may result in serious electrical shock, injury, or death.
• If any unit in the series does not alarm, turn off power and re-check all connections. After that, if it does not alarm yet, replace it immediately.
• Attempting to disconnect the power connector from the unit while the power is on may result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death.
• Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to malfunction.
• The alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave, or modified sine wave inverter. These types of nverters are sometimes used to supply power to structures in off-grid nstallations, such as solar or wind-derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that can damage the alarm.
• Never disconnect power from an AC-powered unit to stop a false alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protection. To silence an alarm, open a nearby window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will automatically reset when it returns to normal operation.
• Improper wiring of the power connector will cause damage to the alarm and may ead to a non-functioning alarm. Test the alarm to ensure proper nstallation.
