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 & heat alarm does not detect gas, or flame,
and should not be covered with a guard or similar obstructing item.
This smoke & heat alarm may not alert people who are hearing impaired. It is strongly
recommended that the special-purpose smoke & heat alarms using visual or vibrating alerting
devices, should be installed for these occupants.
This smoke & heat alarm may not be effective in fires where smoke and heat 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 & heat 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-MSH AC/DC smoke & heat alarms provide smoke/heat detection and
alarm functions within a single unit. Advanced electronics in conjunction with
a photoelectric smoke sensing chamber and an electronic thermistor provide
early detection of smoke and high immunity against unwanted alarms. The
heat sensor provides sensitive rate-of-rise operation or fixed-temperature
operation when the response threshold value is exceeded.
ZT-MSH AC/DC smoke & heat alarms are mains powered, with battery backup,
suitable for general residential applications. ZT-MSH AC/DC smoke & heat
alarms is suitable for general application in residential area and also for
detection of fire without smoke (e.g. ethanol fire). It provides 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/heat is detected, an internal sounder will activate to alert occupants,
and a red LED will flash rapidly. The sounder is a loud, pulsating alarm.
Whenever alarm indication is given, it shall be assumed that is an actual fire.
Test Button
Pressing and holding the Test button for 3 s will activate the smoke & heat
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 & heat 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.
Fault
When the smoke chamber is degraded or contaminated over a limit or the
thermistor is damaged, the smoke & heat alarm will emit two short audible
signals every 48 s, while the red LED not flashes simultaneously. When the 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 & heat 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/heat to clear. During the hush time, the red LED will
flash once every 6 s. After the Hush time has expired, the smoke & heat alarm
will return to normal sensitivity. If smoke/heat 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 & heat alarms will activate sounders on all units if any
smoke & heat alarm detects smoke/heat. In this case, only the smoke & heat
alarm(s) that detected smoke/heat 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 and heat alarms may be
specified in relevant regulations. Where these do not exist, the
requirements for smoke alarm installation 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).
