Cautions 

ELECTRICAL HAZARD:

 Disconnect power from equipment prior to making any 

internal adjustments. Installation and service should only be performed by qualified 
personnel. 

PRODUCT LIMITATIONS

: This smoke alarm does not detect gas, heat or flame, 

and should not be covered with a guard or similar obstructing item. 

This smoke alarm may not alert people who are hearing impaired. It is strongly recommended 
that the special-purpose smoke alarms using visual or vibrating alerting devices, should be 
installed for these occupants. 
This smoke alarm may not be effective in fires where smoke is prevented from reaching the 
device (eg where intermediate doors are closed), where the fire grows so rapidly that the 
egress path is blocked (even when correctly located), and where the fire is intimate to a 
person (eg where a victim's clothes catch fire). 

SLEEPING OCCUPANTS

: Studies have shown that smoke alarms may not awaken 

all sleeping occupants, and it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that 

are capable of assisting other to provide assistance to those who may be awakened by the 
alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. 

INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS

 This product is designed for use in a single 

residential unit, such as a family home or apartment. It should only be used in 
lobbies, hallways, basements etc. if interconnected with other compatible smoke or 

heat alarms. Smoke alarms, located outside the dwelling may not provide early warning to 
occupants. 
This product is not designed for use in non-residential buildings. Non-residential buildings 
require special fire detection and alarm systems. This product alone is not a suitable 
substitute for a fire detection system installed in places of work or where people sleep on a 
temporary basis, such as hotels or motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes or group 

homes of any kind, even if they were once dwellings. Please refer to local regulations for fire 
detection and alarm system requirements.  

Features 

ZT-MS AC/DC smoke alarms provide smoke detection and alarm functions 
within a single unit. Advanced electronics in conjunction with a photoelectric 
smoke sensing chamber provide early detection of smoke and high immunity 
against unwanted alarms. 
ZT-MS AC/DC smoke alarms are mains powered, with battery backup, suitable 
for general residential applications. ZT-MS AC/DC smoke alarms provide home 
owners and installers with an easy-to-install, premium solution for life safety and 
property protection applications. 

Audible and Visual Alarm Indicators 

When operating normally, a green LED in the Test button illuminate. When 
smoke is detected, an internal sounder will activate to alert occupants, and a 
red LED will flash rapidly. The sounder is a loud, pulsating alarm. 

Test Button 

Pressing and holding the Test button for 3 s will activate the smoke alarm to 
check its operation. The alarm will sound and the red LED will flash rapidly. 
Releasing the test button will return the unit to normal operation. 

Low Battery 

When the battery is depleted, the smoke alarm will emit a short audible signal 
every 48 s for at least 30 days, while the red LED flashes simultaneously. When 
the Low Battery signal is given, change the battery without delay. 

Smoke chamber fault 

When the smoke chamber is degraded or contaminated over a limit, the smoke 
alarm will emit two short audible signals every 48 s, while the red LED not 
flashes simultaneously. When the smoke chamber fault is given, try vacuum the 
product on the outer surface, especially the smoke inlet, to remove dirt. If the 
condition persists, return the product for service. 

Hush Button 

Pressing the Hush button will reduce the sensitivity of the smoke alarm for 
approximately 10 min. The Hush button should only be used after the cause of 
the alarm is known (such as normal cooking fumes). The Hush feature allows 
time for the smoke to clear. During the hush time, the red LED will flash once 
every 6 s. After the Hush time has expired, the smoke alarm will return to 
normal sensitivity. If smoke is still present in the unit, the alarm will re-activate. 
The Hush feature can be used repeatedly. 
Under hush mode, press the hush button again will return the unit to normal 
operation. 

Alarm Memory 

Alarm Memory feature allows easy identification of any unit that has previously 
been in the Alarm condition. If a unit enters the Alarm condition and 
subsequently returns to the Normal condition, the Alarm Memory is set. Initially, 
the red LED will flash three times every 48 s. In order to preserve battery power, 
this visual indication will stop after 24 hours and the unit will return to normal 
operation. 
If the Alarm Memory is active, pressing and releasing the Test/Hush button 
resets the Alarm Memory with 3 short beeps. 

Interconnection Terminals 

Interconnected smoke alarms will activate sounders on all units if any smoke 
alarm detects smoke. In this case, only the smoke alarm(s) that detected smoke 
will flash the red LED indicator. This allows the home owner to quickly locate the 
cause of the alarm. Up to 24 units can be interconnected as long as the cabling 
is less than 250 m in length.

Location Selection in Homes and Apartments 

WARNING

: Location and number of smoke alarms may be specified in 

relevant regulations. Where these do not exist, the requirements of 

NFPA 72 can be used. For your information, the National Fire Alarm Code, 
NFPA, reads as follows. 

11.5.1 *Required Detection. 
*Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, 
approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows: 
(1) *In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms 
(2) *Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21 ft.) of any door 
to a sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel 
(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements 
(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including 
basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics 
(5) *In the living area(s) of a guest suite 
(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy 

For complete coverage, smoke alarms should be installed in all rooms, halls, 
storage areas, basements, and attics in the dwelling. The minimum coverage 
is one smoke alarm on each floor and one outside each sleeping area. Please 
use the following location guide. 

Single Storey Dwellings 

Install a smoke alarm in the hallway outside every separate bedroom area, as 
shown in Fig. 1 a). Two smoke alarms should be installed in dwellings with two 
bedroom areas, as shown in Fig. 1 b).
