Description:
This is a photoelectric line powered (AC120V) with 9V DC
battery backup 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 all people in the home will be able to hear and
promptly 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.

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 top of a first – to-

Important Safety Information:
1.
The test button accurately tests smoke alarm functions.
Do not use any other test method. Test smoke alarm
weekly to ensure proper operation.
2.
If you're absolutely sure it isn't a real alarm, open
windows or fan the air around smoke alarm to test and
silence it.
3.
Protect the smoke alarm from the ingress of moisture by
avoiding installation where it can come in contact with
water.
4.
This smoke alarm is powered by AC 120V. This source
power is danger to human body. The smoke alarm should
be installed only by a licensed, qualified electrician.
Observe and follow all local and national electrical and
building codes for installation.
5.
This smoke alarm is designed for use only in single
family homes. 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.
6.
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. This is one of the
main reasons for the recommendation to install multiple
alarms in the home. As an added safety feature the GS517
includes an interconnect feature that facilitates all smoke
alarms in the home to sound an alarm when any one alarm
