Description:
This unit is a photoelectric smoke alarm. The photoelectric
technology, it is more sensitive in detecting slow smoldering
fires which generate light smoke, little heat and may smolder
for hours before bursting into flames. This smoke alarm does
not contain any radioactive material. Smoke alarms should be
installed in every room (except the bathroom and kitchen),
finished attics and basements, making sure the people in the
home will be able to hear and respond to the alarm sound. For
minimum protection, you should install an alarm on every
level of the home particularly outside sleeping rooms. Each
alarm should be placed in the middle of the ceiling of each
room to be protected. Typical single storey dwelling
installation recommendations: Install a smoke alarm on the
ceiling or wall inside each bedroom and in the hallway outside
each separate sleeping area. If a bedroom area
hallway is more than 30 feet long, install a smoke alarm at
each end. If there is a basement: install a smoke alarm on the
basement ceiling at the bottom of the stairwell. Typical
multi-storey dwelling installation recommendations: Install a
minimum of one smoke alarm on each occupiable level of the
home. Install a smoke alarm on the ceiling or wall inside each
bedroom and in the hallway outside each separate sleeping
area. If a bedroom area hallway is more than 30 feet long,
install a smoke alarm at each end install a smoke alarm at the

3.

and national electrical installation and building codes.
4.
This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single
family home only. In multifamily buildings, each individual
living unit should have its own smoke alarms. Do not install
in non-residential buildings as this smoke alarm is not a
substitute for a complete alarm system.
5.
Install a smoke alarm in every room and on every level of
the home. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm 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 door, smoke may not reach the smoke
alarm in time to alert household members. A smoke alarm
will not promptly detect a fire except in the area or room in
which it is installed.
6.
Smoke alarm may not alert every household member every
time. The alarm horn is loud in order to alert individuals to a
potential danger. However, there may be some
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 may not alert a household member, install
and maintain specialty smoke alarms. Household member
must hear the alarm’s warning sound and quickly respond to
it to reduce the risk of injury, or death that may result from
fire, if a household member is hard of hearing, install
special smoke alarms with lights or vibrating devices to
alert occupants.
7.
Smoke alarms can only sound their alarms when they detect
smoke or detect combustion particles in the air. They
do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm is
designed to give audible warning of a developing fire.
However, many fires are fast - burning, explosive, or
intentional, and others are caused by carelessness or safety
