FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Follow safety rules and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly. Never

smoke in bed. 2) Keep matches or lighters away from children; 3) Store flammable materials in

proper containers; 4) Keep electrical appliances in good condition and don’t overload electrical

circuits; 5) Keep stoves, barbecue grills, fireplaces and chimneys grease- and debris-free; 6)

Never leave anything cooking on the stove unattended; 7) Keep portable heaters and open

flames, like candles, away from flammable materials; 8) Don’t let rubbish accumulate.

Keep alarms clean, and test them weekly. Replace alarms immediately if they are not working

properly. Smoke Alarms that do not work cannot alert you to a fire. Keep at least one working

fire extinguisher on every floor, and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape

ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case stairs are blocked.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

Important! Read “Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid

for Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit monitors the air, and when smoke reaches

its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads.

This unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed, maintained and

located where smoke can reach it, and where all residents can hear it, as described in this

manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

Understand The Different Type of Smoke Alarms

Battery powered or electrical? Different Smoke Alarms provide different types of

protection. See “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know Where To Install Your Smoke Alarms

Fire Safety Professionals recommend at least one Smoke Alarm on every level of your home, in

every bedroom, and in every bedroom hallway or separate sleeping area. See “Recommended

Locations For Smoke Alarms” and “Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know What Smoke Alarms Can and Can’t Do

A Smoke Alarm can help alert you to fire, giving you precious time to escape. It can only sound

an alarm once smoke reaches the sensor. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

Check Your Local Building Codes

This Smoke Alarm is designed to be used in a typical single-family home. It

alone will not meet requirements for boarding houses, apartment buildings,

hotels or motels. See “Special Compliance Considerations”

for details.

All First Alert

® and BRK® Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements,

including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of var ying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology

at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming

ires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of

hese fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology

at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by

smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of

hese fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms

on each level and in ever y bedroom of your home.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn of f the power to the area where the Smoke Alarm is

installed before removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first

may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

•

• This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recommended that you

install special units which use devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing

impaired residents.

• • Installation of this unit must conform to t he electr ical codes in your area; Art icles

210 and 300.3 (B) of NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 72, NFPA 101; ICC; SBC (SBCCI); UBC

may apply. Wiring and installation must be performed by a licensed electrician.

Failur e to follow these guidelines may r esult in injury or property damage.

• • This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120V AC pure sine wave 60 Hz

circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned of f by a switch, dimmer, or ground

fault circuit interrupter. Failur e to connect this unit to a 24-hour

circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection. Unit may be

connected to an arc fault circuit interrupter.

• • This Smoke Alar m must have AC or bat tery power to operate. If t he AC power

fails, batt ery back-up will allow the alarm to sound for at least 4

minutes. If AC power fails and the batt ery is weak, pr otection

should last for up to 7 days. If AC power fails and the batter y

is dead or missing, t he alarm cannot operate.

• • Never disconnect the power f rom an AC powered unit to stop an unwanted

alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protect ion. In the

case of a tr ue unwanted alarm open a window or fan the smoke away

fr om t he unit . The alarm will reset automatically when it r eturns to normal

operation. Never r emove t he batt eries from a bat tery operated unit to stop

an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Instead open a window

or fan t he smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

•

• Connect this unit ONLY to other compatible units. See “How To Install This Smoke

Alarm” for details. Do not connect it t o any other type of alarm or

auxiliar y device. Connecting anything else to this unit may damage it or

prevent it from operating properly.

• • The battery compartment resists closing unless a bat tery is installed. This

warns you t he unit will not operate under DC power without a battery.

• • Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings t o t he sensing

chamber and prevent the unit from operating properly.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND SAVE

The basic installation of this Smoke Alarm is similar whether you want to install one

Smoke Alarm, or interconnect more than one Smoke Alarm. If you are interconnecting

more than one Smoke Alarm, you MUST read “Special Requirements For

Interconnected Smoke Alarms” below before you begin installation.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn of f power to the area where you will install t his

unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the

power before installation may result in serious elect rical shock, injury or deat h.

1. 1. Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the household wiring.

Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading t o the power connector

will cause damage to the Alarm and may lead to a non-funct ioning Alar m.

2. 2. Remove the mounting bracket from the base, and attach it to the junction box.

3. 3. Plug the power connector into the back of the Smoke Alarm.

4. 4. Position the base of the Smoke Alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. T he

Alarm will remain secure over a wide rotation range to allow for perfect alignment. When

wall mounting, this will allow fine-tuning on the positioning to compensate

for misaligned wall studs and to keep the wording level. The Alarm can be

positioned over the bracket every 120°. Rotate the Alarm until aligned properly.

5. 5. Check all connections.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power unt il all Smoke Alarms are

completely inst alled. Restoring power before inst allation is complete may result in

serious electrical shock, injury or death.

6. 6. Make sure the Smoke Alarm is receiving AC power. Under normal

operation, the Green power indicator light will shine continuously.

7. 7. If the Green power indicator light does not light, TURN OFF POWER TO THE

JUNCTION BOX and recheck all connections. If all connections are correct and

the Green power indicator still does not light when you restore

the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.

8. 8. Single Station Alarms: Test each Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the Test/

Silence

button until the unit alarms.

Interconnected Alarms: Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the unit alarms.

All interconnected Alarms should sound. The other Alarms sounding only tests the

interconnect signal between Alarms. It does not test each Alarm’s operation. You

must test each Alarm individually to check if the Alarm is functioning properly.

If any unit in the series does not alarm, TURN OFF POWER and recheck connections.

If it does not alarm when you restore power, replace it immediately.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTED SMOKE ALARMS

• Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units

and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection.

• AC and AC/DC Smoke Alarms can be interconnected. Under AC power, all units will

alarm when one senses smoke. When power is interrupted, only

the AC/DC units in the series will continue to send and receive signals.

AC powered Smoke Alarms will not operate.

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone units, especially

if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit in the series senses smoke,

all units will alarm. To determine which Smoke Alarm initiated an alarm, see table:

During an Alarm:

On Initiating Alarm(s) Red LED(s) flashes (flash) rapidly

On All Other Alarms Red LED is Off

After an Alarm (Latching):

On Initiating Alarm(s) Green LED(s) On for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds

On All Other Alarms Green LED(s) On, Red LED(s) is Off

Compatible Interconnected Units

Interconnect units within a single family residence only. Otherwise all households will

experience unwanted alarms when you test any unit in the series. Interconnected units will only

work if they are wired to compatible units and all requirements are met. This unit is designed to

be compatible with:

When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each unit individually.

Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few

simple things you must do to keep it working properly.

• • Test it at least once a week.

• • Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the

Smoke Alarm using your household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. Test the Smoke

Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• • If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime,

and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.

• • Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See

“Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

• • When the battery back-up becomes weak, the Smoke Alarm will “chirp” about once

a minute (the low battery warning). This warning should last 7 days, but you

should replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries

are acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra) #MX1604; Eveready

(Energizer) #522, Eveready (Energizer) #1222. You may also use a Lithium

battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J, U9VL-J-P for longer service life between battery

changes. These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

• • Always use the exact batteries specified by t his User’s Manual. DO NOT use

rechargeable batteries. Clean the batter y contacts and also those of the device prior

to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity

(+ and -).

• • Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local regulations.

Consult your local waste management authority or recycling organization to find an

elect ronics r ecycling facilit y in your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF

BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

•

• • Keep bat tery out of reach of children. In the event a batt ery is swallowed,

immediately contact your poison control center, your physician, or the National

Bat tery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur

Actual battery service life depends on the Smoke Alarm and the environment in which it is

installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable replacement batteries for this unit.

Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery

immediately once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• • Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• • Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect

anything.

• • Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a

door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and

windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• • Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.

• • Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do

a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

• • Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then

your name.

• • Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• • Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

Alarms have various limitations. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

IF THIS SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause,

3 beeps, pause.

• • If the unit alarms and you are not t esting the unit , it is warning you of a

potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention.

NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.

• • Never disconnect the AC power to quiet an unwanted alarm. Disconnecting

the power disables the Alarm so it cannot sense smoke. This will remove your

protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from t he unit .

The alarm will reset automatically.

• • If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

•

• ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: At tempting to disconnect t he power connector f rom

the unit when the power is on may r esult in electr ical shock, serious injur y or death.

When an interconnected system of AC powered units is in alarm, the alarm indicator light on

the unit(s) that initiated the alarm will blink rapidly. It will remain OFF on any remaining units.

If the unit alarms and you are certain that the source of smoke is not a fire—cooking

smoke or an extremely dusty furnace, for example—open a nearby window or door and

fan the smoke away from the unit. Use the Silence Feature to silence the alarm. This will

silence the alarm, and once the smoke clears the unit will reset itself automatically.

“LATCHING ALARM” INDICATOR

IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM

Smoke Alarms may not operate properly because of dead, missing or weak batteries, a

build-up of dirt, dust or grease on the Smoke Alarm cover, or installation in an improper

location. Clean the Smoke Alarm as described in “Regular Maintenance,” and install a

fresh battery, then test the Smoke Alarm again. If it fails to test properly when you use the

Test/Silence button, or if the problem persists, replace the Smoke Alarm immediately.

• • If you hear a “chirp” once a minut e, replace the batter y.

• • If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms (like those

caused by cooking smoke), try relocating the Smoke Alarm.

• • If t he alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, t ry cleaning or

relocating the Smoke Alarm. The cover may be dirty.

• • If t he alarm does not sound during test ing, make sur e it is

receiving AC power from the household current .

Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Smoke Alarm.

First , turn of f the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next, r emove t he battery fr om

Smoke Alarms with batter y back-up. Finally, press and hold the test button for 5-10 seconds

to discharge the branch circuit.

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on

every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the

Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency Placement

Recommendations” for details. For additional coverage, it is recommended that you

install a Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements,

where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make

sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke Alarms:

• • On every level of your home, including finished attics and basements.

• • Inside every bedroom, especially if people sleep with the door partly or completely closed.

• • In the hall near every sleeping area. If your home has multiple sleeping areas, install a

unit in each. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at each end.

• • At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to

region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is

recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.

The Silence Feature on this unit can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 10 minutes.

The Silence Feature does not disable t he unit—it makes it temporarily less sensitive to

smoke. For your safety, if smoke around t he unit is dense enough to suggest a potentially

dangerous situation, t he unit will stay in alarm or may r e-alarm quickly.

If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it is an unwanted alar m. Not

responding to an alarm can result in property loss, injury, or death. If the unit will not

silence and no heavy smoke is present, or if it stays in silence mode continuously, it should be

replaced immediately.

To silence Smoke Alarms in an interconnected series:

1. 1. To silence multiple alarms in an interconnected series, you must

press the Test/Silence button on the unit(s) that initiated the alarm.

2. NOTE: The red LED on the initiating alarm will flash rapidly. The red LED

will be Off on all other non-initiating alarms. No audible sound will be heard.

The unit will exit “silence mode” in approximately 10 minutes.

3. 2. While the unit is in “silence mode”, pressing and holding the Test/

Silence button for approximately 10 seconds will test the unit. After testing,

the unit will re-enter “silence mode” and the 10-minute timer is reset.

• • In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into

the sensing chamber of a Smoke Alarm near the kitchen.

• • In very damp, humid or steamy areas, or directly near bathrooms with showers.

Keep units at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from showers, saunas, dishwashers, etc.

• • Where the temperatures are regularly below 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or above 100˚ F (37.8˚ C) including

unheated buildings, outdoor rooms, porches, or unfinished attics or

basements.

• • In very dusty, dirty, or greasy areas. Do not install a Smoke Alarm directly over the

stove or range. Clean a laundry room unit frequently to keep it free of dust or lint.

• • Near fresh air vents, ceiling fans, or in very drafty areas. Drafts can blow

smoke away from the unit, preventing it from reaching sensing chamber.

• • In insect infested areas. Insects can clog openings to the

sensing chamber and cause unwanted alarms.

• • Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can

interfere with the sensor.

• • In “dead air” spaces. “Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarm.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarm. To

avoid dead air spaces, follow the installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install Smoke Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is

not possible, install the Smoke Alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of Smoke

Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and 12 inches (305

mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the first Smoke Alarm within 3

feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional Smoke

Alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc. of the ceiling’s slope.

Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day

care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided

a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common

areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this Smoke Alarm in common areas may not

provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire protection

ordinances/regulations.

This Smoke Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems

in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels,

dormitories, hospitals, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes

of any kind. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses,

industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings

which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in

your area, this Smoke Alarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or AC/DC powered Smoke

Alarms only. In existing construction, AC, AC/DC, or DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used as

specified by local building codes. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and

NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or consult your

Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements

in buildings not defined as “households”.

LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS

Smoke Alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths resulting from home fires worldwide.

However, like any warning device, Smoke Alarms can only work if they are properly located,

installed, and maintained, and if smoke reaches the Alarms. They are not foolproof.

Smoke alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan at least twice a year,

making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master

fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If

children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants or

family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in

fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family

members are sleeping in order to determine their response to the sound of the smoke alarm

while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

Smoke Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated units cannot work if the

batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the

batteries are not installed correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any

reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power

station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned

about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both types of units.

Smoke Alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not reach the Alarms. Smoke

from fires in chimneys or walls, on roofs, or on the other side of closed doors may

not reach the sensing chamber and set off the Alarm. That is why one unit should

be installed inside each bedroom or sleeping area—especially if bedroom or

sleeping area doors are closed at night—and in the hallway between them.

Smoke Alarms may not detect fire on another floor or area of the dwelling. For example,

a stand-alone unit on the second floor may not detect smoke from a basement fire until the fire

spreads. T his may not give you enough time to escape safely. That is why recommended minimum

protection is at least one unit in every sleeping area, and every bedroom on every level of your

dwelling. Even with a unit on every floor, stand-alone units may not provide as much protection as

interconnected units, especially if the fire starts in a remote area. Some safety experts recommend

installing interconnected AC powered units with battery back-up (see “About Smoke Alarms”) or

professional fire detection systems, so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm. Interconnected

units may provide earlier warning than stand-alone

units since all units alarm when one detects smoke.

Smoke Alarms may not be heard. Though the alarm horn in this unit meets or exceeds

current standards, it may not be heard if: 1) the unit is located outside a closed or partially closed

door, 2) residents recently consumed alcohol or drugs, 3) the Alarm is drowned out

by noise from stereo, TV, traffic, air conditioner or other appliances, 4) residents

are hearing impaired or sound sleepers. Special purpose units, like those with

visual and audible alarms, should be installed for hearing impaired residents.

Smoke Alarms may not have time to alarm before the fire it self causes damage,

injury, or death, since smoke fr om some fires may not reach the unit immediately.

Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with matches,

or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

Smoke Alarms are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, Smoke Alarms are made of

components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test the unit

weekly to ensure your continued protection. Smoke Alarms cannot prevent or

extinguish fires. They are not a substitute for property or life insurance.

Smoke Alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not

operating properly. You should always replace a Smoke Alarm after 10 years from date of

purchase. Write the purchase date on the space provided on back of unit.

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms: Provide protection even when electricity fails,

provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not

require professional installation. However, they do not provide interconnected functionality.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke,

all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails. AC with battery (DC) back-

up: will operate if electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly

installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Wireless Interconnected Alarms: Offer the same interconnected functionality

as with hardwired alarms, without wires. Units are easy to install and do not

require professional installation. They provide protection even when electricity

fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed.

Smoke Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems:

AC powered Smoke Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters.

Operating this Smoke Alarm with most battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply)

products or square wave or “quasi sine wave” inverters . If you are will damage the Alarm

not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be installed for

the hearing impaired. They include a visual alarm and an audible alarm horn,

and meet the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act. These units

can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the

combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if located, installed and

cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure

which type of unit to install, refer to NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 72 (National

Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code). National Fire Protection

Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269-9101.

Local building codes may

also require specific units in new construction or in different areas of the home.

LOCATIONS TO AVOID FOR SMOKE ALARMS, Continued

LOCATIONS TO AVOID FOR SMOKE ALARMS

For best performance, AVOID installing Smoke Alarms in these areas:

• • Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something

burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep

units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace,

water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter)

distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is

recommended the Smoke Alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources

as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep these

Alarms at a

reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus

reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed

directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.
