IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND SAVE.

This user’s manual contains important information about your Smoke Alarm Device’s operation. If you are installing this Smoke Alarm Device for use by others, you must leave this manual-or a copy of it -with the end-user.

This product is a smart photoelectric smoke alarm, which is combined with an RF transceiver. With the installation of more than one smoke detector, the communication is wireless. In case of smoke emission in one of the protected rooms, all installed smoke alarms are activated. A smoke alarm that sounds alarmed in the loft might not always be audible in the garage. This situation changes with this wireless photoelectric smoke alarm. The smoke alarm part (mainboard part) and RF board part are powered by two independent 3V batteries separately. It is capable of real-time detecting the presence of smoke. Once it detects the danger of fire smoke, a red LED will flash rapidly and it will issue alarm sounds.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING!

PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

• DO NOT remove or disconnect the battery to quiet unwanted alarms.

• This will remove your protection. Open windows or fan the air around the smoke alarm device to silence

• The test button accurately tests all smoke alarm device functions D NOT use any other test method. Test smoke alarm device weekly to ensure proper operation.

• This smoke alarm device should be installed only by a licensed, qualified electrician. Observe and follow all local and national electrical and building codes for installation.

• This smoke alarm device IS NOT designed to be the PRIMARY protection for buildings that require complete fire alarm systems. Buildings of this type include hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes, and group homes. This is true even if they were once single-family homes. However, this smoke alarm device MAY be used inside individual rooms as  UPPLEMEN- TAL protection.

• Install a smoke alarm device in every room and on every level of the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm device for many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the home, on another level, in a chimney, wall, roof, or on the other side of a closed doo, smoke may not reach the smoke alarm device in time to alert household members. A smoke alarm device will not promptly detect a fire EXCEPT in the area or room in which it is installed. Smoke alarm devices may not alert every household member every time. The alarm horn is loud in order to alert individuals to potential danger. However, there may be limited circumstances where a household member may not hear the alarm (i.e., outdoor or indoor noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing. etc.).

• If you suspect that this smoke alarm device may not alert a household member, install and maintain specialty smoke alarm devices. Household members must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to it to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death that may result from fire. If a household member is hard of hearing. install special smoke alarm devices with lights or vibrating
  devices to alert occupants.

• Smoke alarm devices can sound their alarms only when they detect smoke. Smoke alarm devices detect combustion particles in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm device is designed to give an audible warning of a developing fire. However, many fires are fast-burning, explosive or intentional. Others are caused by carelessness or safety hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm device QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.

• Smoke alarm devices have limitations. This smoke alarm device is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke alarm devices are not a substitute for insurance.
  Homeowners and renters should insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the smoke alarm device to fail at any time. For this reason, you must test the smoke alarm device weekly and replace every 10 years.

WHERE TO LOCATE

As a minimum, smoke alarm devices should be located between sleeping areas and potential sources of fire such as living rooms and kitchens. In single-story homes with one sleeping area, a smoke alarm device should be installed in the hallway, as close as possible to the living accommodation. To ensure audibility in bedrooms, no smoke alarm device should be further away than 3m from any bedroom door. It may be necessary to install more than one smoke alarm device, particularly the hallway is more than 15m long. In single-story homes with two separate sleeping areas, a minimum of two smoke alarm devices are required, one outside each sleeping area. In multilevel or split-level homes, as a minimum, a smoke alarm device should be installed on the ground floor between the staircase and any rooms in which a fire might start and on each story in circulation areas that form part of the escape route (normally hallways and landings).
3.2 Additional alarms should be installed in bedrooms in anticipation of fires originating here, caused by faulty wiring, lights, appliances, smokers or other hazards. 3.3 For best protection, smoke alarm devices should be installed in every room in your home, apart from those listed in the Section 4 LOCATIONS TO AVOID. Heat alarms should be used in kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages and such like, where smoke alarm devices would be unsuitable.
3.4 Install smoke alarm devices in circulation areas at a distance no greater than 7.5m from the farthest wal, no greater than 7.5m from a door to any room in which a fire might start and no greater than 7.5m from the next smoke alarm device.
3.5 As it is impossible to predict the source of a fire, the best location for an alarm is usually the center of a room or hallway. If it is necessary to place a smoke alarm device on a wall, always locate the detection element of the alarm 150mm to 300 mm (6 to 12 inches) below the ceiling and the bottom of the alarm above the level of doors and other openings.
3.6 In rooms with simple sloped, peaked or gabled ceilings, install smoke alarm devices on the ceiling 900mm (3 feet) from the highest point of the ceiling. “Dead air at the peak of a ceiling may
prevent the smoke from reaching the alarm in time to provide an early warning .

IMPORTANT:
These alarms are intended to primarily for single-occupancy private dwellings. For use in other applications, the manufacturer’s advice must be sought.

LOCATIONS TO AVOID

DO NOT locate smoke alarm devices

• 4.1 In turbulent air from fans, heaters, doors, windows, etc., which could draw smoke away from the alarm.
• 4.2 In high humidity area such as bathrooms and shower rooms, or where the temperature exceeds 39C (100F) or falls below 5’C (40F), as high humidity can trigger nuisance alarm.
• 4.3 At the peal of an “A” frame ceiling. Dead air at the top may prevent smoke from reaching the alarm in time to provide early warning.
• 4.4 Less than 300mm(12inches)from the wall when mounted on the ceiling.
• 4.5 In insect-infested areas. Tiny insects may affect performance.
• 4.6 In kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, garages. Combustion particles from cooking or car exhaust and dust and moisture could trigger a nuisance alarm.
• 4.7 In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up and impair performance.
• 4.8 Within 300mm (12inches) of light fittings or room corners.
• 4.9 In locations that would make routine testing or maintenance hazardous (e.g.over a stairwell).
• 4.10 On poorly insulated walls or ceilings.
• 4.11 Near objects such as ceiling decorations that might impede the path of smoke to the alarm.
• 4.12 Within 1500mm (5feet) of fluorescent light fittings.

INTERCONNECTION SETUP

The installation distance between any 2 alarms in an interconnection group should be within 150m.
5.2 DIP Switch setup: For intended interconnected alarms, set their DIP switch to the same lD (16 groups in total. Only alarms with the same ID can make up an interconnection group. If an alarm in an interconnection group alarms, the other alarms in the group will also alarm.

INTERCONNECTION ALARM

Under interconnection conditions, if an alarm only gives out an alarm sound and its alarm indicator does not flash, it means alarm occurs among the other interconnected alarms. At this time, press the Test&Hush button to hush the alarm sound of all the alarms that are not in the alarm scene and find the alarm in the alarm scene. Meanwhile.check the surroundings of each alarm to prevent potential losses.

HOW TO INSTALL
