02 ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

TYPES OF ALARMS

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of res 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

Smoke Alarm to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 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 specic units in

new construction or in different areas of the home.

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. will operate if electricity fails, AC with battery (DC) back-up:

provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units must be installed by a

qualied electrician.

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 Alarm

with most battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or “quasi sine

wave” inverters . If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please will damage the Alarm

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. 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 First Alert

Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are

designed to detect particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are

produced in all res.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at

detecting small particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by aming res,

which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these res

may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease re 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

res, which may smolder for hours before bursting into ame. Sources of these res may

include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each level and in every

bedroom of your home.

03 INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for Smoke Alarms, as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), is one Smoke Alarm on every oor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom (See

“Regulatory Information For Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm

should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the

bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every

level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away

from the furnace or fuel burning heat source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured

homes where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away as possible from the

furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm

the Alarm, but may increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

IN GENERAL, INSTALL COMBINATION SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS:

• On every level of your home, including nished 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 rst-to-second oor stairs and at the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install Alarms in all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where temperatures

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

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT:

Smoke Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Carbon Monoxide Alarm

One on every level and

in every bedroom

Fire Extinguisher

One on every level, plus

kitchen and garage

• When installing on the ceiling, place the Alarm as close to the center as possible.

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms should be placed between 4 inches

(102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches (102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling meet. See

“Avoiding Dead Air Spaces” for more information.

NOTE: For any location, make sure no door or other obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or smoke

from reaching the Alarm.

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU AVOID INSTALLING SMOKE/CO ALARMS

IN THESE AREAS:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unnished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty

or greasy 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.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can

draw cooking smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted Alarms.

• In extremely humid areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna,

humidier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source of high humidity.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open windows. Blowing air may prevent smoke from

reaching the sensors.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚ C). These

areas include non air-conditioned crawl spaces, unnished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated

ceilings, porches, and garages.

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

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

with the sensor.

• In “dead air” spaces.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

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

follow 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 rst 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.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

IMPORTANT!

This Smoke/CO Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch
