NOTE:
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combina-
tion has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Step 4. Pick smoke-detector location.
Referring to
the NFPA standard on page 3, select a good location to
mount the GEM-SMK.
Mounting the GEM-SMK on foil-
backed wallpaper or on metal single-gang electrical box
is NOT recommended because the radio range will be
reduced.
Step 5. Install mounting plate.
Use the two screws and
anchors provided to attach the mounting plate to the wall
or ceiling. Alternatively, the mounting plate may be at-
tached to a
plastic
single-gang electrical outlet box.

Step 6. Map the GEM-SMK Transmitter.
Referring to
the instructions for the panel and keypad in use, enter
the following:
•
the zone to which the transmitter will be mapped;
•
the 6-digit identification number/1-digit checksum
number printed on the transmitter (include all num-
bers and/or letters and leading zeros, if any); and
•
the transmitter point number ("1").
NOTE:
In fire alarm installations, the control panel
must be programmed to activate the fire alarm bells or
horns upon detection of a fire.
Maintenance.
To clean the smoke detector, vacuum
the outside of the unit at least once a year (preferably
every six months) using a soft brush attachment. Do
not attempt to clean the unit in any other way.
Step 8. Test system with unit mounted.
If the sys-
tem is monitored, notify central station of impending
test. Press and hold the test button. Keep the button
depressed for 30 seconds after the local alarm
sounds. Verify that the GEM-SMK triggers the correct
zone on the control panel and that the correct report
is sent to the central station.
