Product Introduction
The SMCSD10-Z works with the Touchscreen. The
device has an optical sensor capable of detecting
smoke particles in the event of fire. It also has
an integrated heat sensor that is triggered if a
room experiences a sharp rise in temperature.
The SMCSD10-Z does not contain an alarm.
Audible alerts sound at the Touchscreen.
The SMCSD10-Z meets FPA 72 field-sensitivity
testing requirements without the need for
external meters. Built-in drift compensation
allows the SMCSD10-Z to adjust sensitivity
automatically as it becomes dirty over time. The
drift-compensation feature dramatically
increases the time between cleanings, as well as
reducing the chance of a nuisance alarm.

Use of structure and type of construction
Contents you want to protect and their
burning characteristics
Human occupancy
Total area to be monitored
Ceiling height and surface condition
Air movement and vent locations
Obstructions
Deflections
Recommended Locations
After considering these factors, choose a
location:
Where the temperature range is between 40°
and 100° F (4.4° and 37.8° C).
Where the humidity is between 0 and 90%
non-condensing.
Away from ventilation sources that can
prevent smoke from reaching the smoke
detector.
At least 5 feet (1.5 m) from bathrooms.
When placing the SMCSD10-Z on a ceiling, mount
it in the center of the room or hallway at least 4
inches (10cm) away from any walls or partitions.
