VISIBLE ANNUNCIATON
The W4 series detector has a multi-color top LED; Green, Red, and Amber.
The LED is green for supervisory indication; it blinks during power on, reset,
and during normal operation. The LED is amber to signal maintenance and
trouble events. W4 utilizes the side LED windows to indicate alarm events;
red for smoke and blue for CO.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Ceiling: Detector should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) from any wall.
Wall: Detector should be no closer than 6 inches (15 cm) from ceiling.
• Do not install outdoors or in any environment that does not comply with
the detector’s environmental specifications.
• Install in accordance with NFPA 72 and 720 standards.
NFPA 72 and
720 define standards for both commercial and residential installation of
smoke and CO detectors. Local laws involving CO detection should also
be considered.
• If the installation can be interpreted as residential, consult the section
of NFPA 720 that outlines residential applications.
Chapter 9.4.1.1, for
example, states that carbon monoxide alarms or detectors shall be in-
stalled as follows:
• Outside each separate dwelling unit sleeping area in the immediate
vicinity of the bedroom.
• On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.
• Consult NFPA 72, the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), and/
or applicable codes for specific information regarding the spacing and
placement of smoke detectors.
