•
Do not place the alarm where drapes or other objects will block
the sensor. Smoke must be able to reach the sensor to accurately
detect conditions.
•
Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings. In this area install as
shown in Figures 2B and 2C.
•
Install at least 30.5 cm (12”) away from fluorescent lights as
electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms.
•
Keep out of insect infested areas. Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or
greasy areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarms or failure
to alarm.
•
Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm
is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a
photoelectric type.
•
Do not install within 5 ft of heating or cooking appliances.
Wiring Instructions:
Wiring Requirements
• This smoke alarm should be installed on a CSA listed or recognized
junction box. All connections should be made by a qualified electrician
and all wiring used shall be in accordance with codes having
jurisdiction in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring
to the alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC
power wiring. In addition, the resistance of the interconnect wiring
shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
• The appropriate power source is 120 V AC Single Phase supplied from
a non-switchable circuit, which is not protected by a ground fault
interrupter.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable
for that purpose.
WARNING:
The alarm cannot be operated from power derived
from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave,
inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power
to the structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived
power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that
will damage the alarm.
