WLS906 Smoke Detectors Residential Use FOR AND USE THIS INSTRUCTION SHEET THOROUGHLY BEFORE AND USING YOUR MERIDIAN SMOKE DETECTOR Advanced 90 photoelectric detection pattern and specially smoke chamber for superior detection and dust Unique high signal to noise ratio and superior RFI to prevent false alarms Excellent smoke access provides reliable detection for all flow directions and velocities Loud 85dB piezoelectric alarm horn Battery powered design for easy installation and from house power sources Uses six AA batteries and special circuit design to provide long battery life Solid state LED indicator light red Visible flash light and audible trouble chirp for low battery Equipped with an RF transmitter WLS906 can with DSC s UL listed compatible 900 MHz Security Systems Test button allows user to perform sensitivity test and get local indication of test result Magnet activated reed switch allows user to perform test Battery removal sensor alerts user to missing battery and installation of detector when no battery is Automatic self test once every 40 seconds provides an trouble indication if the unit has insufficient smoke Attractive styling for any decor This symbol on the nameplate means the product is by Underwriters Laboratories Inc UL 217 Single and Multiple Station Smoke Protected under Canadian Patent No 1452296 Other patents pending DSC Meridian photoelectric smoke detector incorporates advanced design features to provide years of reliable It is important to follow the installation and operation on this sheet to ensure that the unit will function even the best designed smoke detector will be rendered if it is not connected or located properly is very important that you understand how to test and maintain system Read the instruction or user manual for your alarm to familiarise yourself with the fire alarm functions Be sure test your system regularly following the test procedures described your manual If you should ever have problems operating or your system and especially if there are problems with the alarm functions contact your smoke detector installer or immediately for service smoke detectors and alarm systems are designed to warn you potentially dangerous situations no system can prevent emergencies alarm system is not a substitute for life and property insurance you always maintain appropriate insurance coverage the Smoke Detector Works shown in the illustration a light source is directed across the chamber and is not normally reflected into the sensing When smoke enters the chamber the light beam is by the smoke and is reflected into the sensor When light is detected by the sensor an alarm is activated On the sounder is activated and the red LED will flash When smoke clears from the smoke chamber the unit will reset itself Indications smoke self test normally self test sensitivity test normally between LED flashes test sensitivity switch functioning normally switch insufficient

Detectors the Meridian smoke detector has been designed for reliability is important to know that all smoke detectors have limitations Smoke detectors will not work without power If the batteries are the smoke detector will not function See Installation for important information on battery use Smoke detectors can only generate an alarm when smoke gets the smoke dhamber anything that prevents smoke from the smoke chamber may prevent or delay an alarm to the for Locating Smoke Detectors on this Sheet it is important that smoke detectors be located at least every floor of the premises preferably in every room is also important to avoid obstructions such as closed doors may prevent smoke from reaching the unit A smoke detector not detect a fire in the walls in the chimney or on the roof of building until smoke enters the smoke chamber Smoke detectors have certain obvious limitations they may not protection for someone smoking in bed for children with matches or for sudden and violent explosions A detector is a single part of overall fire safety precautions smoke detector should never be seen as a substitute for a fire safety program for Locating Smoke Detectors smooth ceilings detectors may be spaced 9.1m 30 feet apart a guide Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling air movement the presence of joists uninsulated ceilings Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72 CAN ULS S553 or other appropriate national standards for installation not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled the dead air space in these locations may prevent the unit detecting smoke areas with turbulent air flow such as near doors fans or Rapid air movement around the detector may prevent from entering the unit not locate detectors in areas of high humidity not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises 38oC 100oF or falls below 5oC 41oF detectors should always be installed in accordance with 72 the National Fire Alarm Code Smoke detectors should be located in accordance with Paragraph 2 2.1.1.1 of NFPA 72 Chapter 2 detectors be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl and unfinished attics In new construction a smoke also shall be installed in each sleeping room Paragraph 2 2.1.1.2 of NFPA 72 Chapter 2 level Smoke detectors are required where shown Smoke are optional where a door is not provided between room and recreation room Your Smoke Detector the test procedure described here or contact your detector dealer or installer for testing instructions is recommended that your entire alarm system be tested at once per week to verify the operation of all system Detector Unit Test test the smoke detector press and hold the Test button on the of the unit When the button is pressed the unit alarm should When the button is released the alarm should be silenced this does not occur check that the batteries are the correct type good condition and are installed correctly see the section completing the functional testing of the smoke detector the unit sensing chamber to ensure proper operation To the sensing chamber waft a lit cotton wick or punk stick the outside of the unit until a generous amount of smoke the sensing chamber or the unit alarms If the smoke does not function properly call your smoke detector or dealer for service Test prepare your alarm system for a complete test refer to the testing section of your system manual Observe carefully all regarding notification of the monitoring station in to avoid an unnecessary emergency response When the is ready to be tested hold the test magnet against the smoke case as shown below activating the smoke alarm system test an alarm should and the indicator light should flash every 0.67 seconds the magnet is removed the alarm should be silenced See system manual for further instructions regarding of the alarm system test
