INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Ionization and 2012 Photoelectronic Detectors Division of Pittway 3825 Ohio Avenue St Charles Illinois 60174 FAX 630 377 6495 Detector Description detectors are designed to provide early warning of developing fires a reasonable cost They monitor the air and can sense smoke and can precious minutes for you and your family to escape before a fire Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household 1012 is a low voltage ionization type smoke detector Model 2012 is low voltage photoelectronic type smoke detector The detector is de for open area protection in a residential building Each detector has built in relay which may be used to activate auxiliary devices such as horns and door closers The relay contacts automatically close eight seconds after the detector goes into alarm and automatically resets five 5 seconds after the alarm stops In addition these can be interconnected within one household for a system of up twelve 12 smoke detectors per household This way when one smoke sounds its alarm horn it will cause all of the other connected detectors within the household to sound their alarm horns as well in Australia Only installation temperature range for Australia is 5 cid 176 to 45 cid 176 C and has tested per the Australian Standard Ignore installation temperatures for all other applications when installing detectors in Australia should be installed by qualified technicians Installation of a connected power supply unit must be performed by qualified electri only Ignore the power requirements in Smoke Detector Require listed below as these apply to installation in the USA The primary should be provided by a power limited supervised panel type sys A rechargeable battery is required as a backup to the external power in case of a mains failure In standby operation the power limited battery fully charged must be capable of providing uninter power for at least 7 days to the system and all smoke alarms before panel gives the required low battery signal When the low battery sig is given the battery should be capable of providing power for another days after which the backup battery should have enough energy left to a 4 minute alarm signal to be given by all connected smoke alarms Detector Power Requirements USA smoke detector will not work without power This smoke detector is U L listed to be powered by System Sensor Part No A77 727 01 12 DC power supply The A77 727 01 must be permanently connected the building 120 volt AC electrical supply per code The A77 727 01 not power the smoke detector if the AC power is cut off for any rea The 12 volt DC power supply will only power the detector when 120 AC power is present is not a power back up source input rating to the detector is 12VDC 0.02 amps Input power to A77 727 01 power supply must be from a 24 hour 120V AC 60HZ cir which cannot be turned off by a switch Power supply and detector must conform to the electrical codes in your area and Ar 760 of the National Electrical Code It is recommended that wiring performed by a licensed electrician Detector Limitations This smoke detector is designed for residential use only System does not advise the use of this detector in multiple detector sys monitored by a central control This detector is self restoring and not lock into an alarm condition Smoke detectors will not sense a fire if the smoke does not reach sensor In order for a smoke detector to sense smoke it must be in the immediate vicinity of the fire In addition smoke from in chimneys in walls on roofs in remote parts of the building or another level from where the smoke detector is located may not the smoke detector quickly enough for occupants to escape un For this reason installer shall install smoke detectors on level in every sleeping area and in every bedroom of the Smoke detectors may not be heard The alarm horn in this smoke de meets or exceeds current Underwriter Laboratories standards if the smoke detector is not located in the same room as the or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal noise the horn may not be heard In addition sound sleepers or persons are under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not hear the or be able to react to it Therefore locate this smoke detector has a sounder rated at 85 dB at 10 feet on every level in ev sleeping area and in every bedroom of the household general detectors may not always warn you about fires caused by and safety hazards like smoking in bed violent explo escaping gas improper storage of flammable materials over electrical circuits children playing with matches or arson Smoke detectors are not fool proof Like all electronic devices smoke have limitations No type of smoke detector can sense ev kind of fire every time In addition smoke from slow smolder fires rises slowly and may not reach the smoke detector until flame breaks out This type of smoke may not reach the detector in time for occupants to escape unharmed Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life or property insurance smoke detectors have been responsible for saving many lives are not warranted or implied to protect lives or property in the of a fire Smoke detectors have a limited life They contain many parts Any of parts could fail at any time Repair or replace the smoke detector if the alarm horn does not sound when tested Do not in case use a smoke detector for more than 10 years from the date original installation to Install Smoke Detectors As a minimum requirement smoke detectors must be installed accordance with the National Fire Protection Agency NFPA Standard which defines the standards for the National Fire Alarm Code National Protection Association Batterymarch Park MA 02269 9101 In addi observe all local and national building and electrical codes Detector Location 1 Recommended smoke detector protection for single residence with only one sleeping area ROOM

ceiling require additional second floor detectors on the ceiling at the top of the first to floor stairwell Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the of smoke to the detector rooms with sloped peaked or gabled ceilings install detectors 3 0.9 meter measured down on the slant from the highest point of ceiling See Figure 5 5 Recommended smoke detector location in rooms with gabled or peaked ceilings PEAK FEET cid 13 72 Chapter 2 Section 2 2.1.1.1 states as follows detectors be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished at In new construction a smoke detector also shall be installed in each room above NFPA standard is a minimum requirement for smoke detec installation For better protection we also require the installation a smoke detector inside every bedroom in existing construction a minimum of two smoke detectors in any household no how small it is Put a smoke detector in the hallway outside of every separate bed area See Figure 1 A minimum of two detectors are required in with two bedroom areas See Figure 2 Put a smoke detector on every level of a multi level residence See 3 basement detectors on the ceiling at the bottom of the basement See Figure 3 3 Recommended smoke detector protection for a multi
