If your controller receive low battery alarm and, this signal means that the Smoke Sensor’s battery is weak. When the device report the low battery message. The user should replace the battery to new one to secure your protection. The battery type is CR123A, 3.0V.
The way to open the front cover please follow below steps:

  1. Open battery compartment.
  2. Install battery into compartment and make sure the “+” and “-”ends of each battery are aligned properly.
  3. After battery is installed in compartment, you will hear a chirp which indicates the device is receiving battery power.

Choosing a Suitable Location

For complete coverage in residential units, Smoke Sensors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements and attics in each family living unit. Minimum coverage is one sensor on each floor and one in each sleeping area.

  1. Install Smoke Sensor as close to the center of ceiling as possible. If this is not practical, put the sensor on the ceiling, no closer than 4inches(10 cm) from any wall or corner.
  2. If ceiling mounting is not possible, put wall-mounted sensors between 4 and 6 inches(10~15 cm) from the ceiling.
  3. If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to mount sensors 3 feet(0.9 meter) measure horizontally from the highest point of ceiling.

Nuisance alarms take place when Smoke Sensors are installed where they will no work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install Smoke Sensors in the following situations:

  • 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 Sensors to avoid nuisance alarms, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space heaters.

  • Do not install Smoke Sensors less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from places where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens.
    If a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the alarm as far away from the combustion particles as possible, preferably on the wall. To prevent nuisance alarm alarms, provide good ventilation in such places.

  • 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.

  • Near fluorescent lights, electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may cause nuisance alarms. Install Smoke Sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from such lights.

Installation

  1. At the place where you are going to install your Smoke Sensor, draw a horizontal line six inches long.
  2. Remove the mounting bracket from your device by rotating it counterclockwise.
  3. Place the bracket so that the two longest hold slots are aligned on the line. In each of keyhole slots, drawing a mark to locate a mounting plug and screw.
  4. Remove the bracket.
  5. Drill two holes at the marks and insert plastic wall plugs. Put the Smoke Sensor away from plastic dust.
  6. Attach the bracket to the wall. Line up the slots of the bracket and the Smoke Sensor. Push the sensor onto the mounting bracket on turn it clockwise to fix it into the place. Pull onward on the Smoke Sensor to make sure it is securely attached to the mounting bracket.
