INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Photoelectronic Smoke Detector Integral Temp 3 Sounder 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 providing minutes for you and your family to escape before a fire spreads warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire equipment in all rooms and areas of the household area protection in a residential building It has a built in relay which be used to activate auxiliary devices such as bells horns and door The relay contacts automatically close 8 seconds after the detec goes into alarm and automatically resets approximately 5 seconds the alarm stops A piezoelectric horn in each detector produces an 85 dBA temporal tone evacuation signal when a detector alarms an interconnected detector alarms This temporal tone evacuation sig spaced 5 seconds apart followed by 1.5 seconds of silence These can be interconnected for a system of up to 12 smoke detectors household so when one smoke detector sounds its evacuation signal causes the other connected detectors to sound as well in Australia Only installation temperature range for Australia is 5 to 45 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 main connected power supply unit must be performed by qualified only Ignore the power requirements in Detector listed below as these apply to installation in the USA primary power should be provided by a power limited supervised type system A rechargeable battery is required as a backup to the power supply in case of a mains failure In standby operation the limited backup battery fully charged must be capable of provid uninterrupted power for at least 7 days to the system and all smoke before the panel gives the required low battery signal When the signal is given the battery should be capable of providing for another 7 days after which the backup battery should have energy left to allow a 4 minute alarm signal to be given by all smoke alarms Detector Power Requirements USA smoke detector will not work without power This smoke detector is 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 The 12 volt DC power supply will only power the detector when AC power is present is not a power back up source which cannot be turned off by a switch power supply and detec installation must conform to the electrical codes in your area and 760 of the National Electrical code it is recommended that be 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 monitored by a central control This detector is self restoring does 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 on another level from where the smoke detector is located may reach the smoke detector quickly enough for occupants to escape for this reason the installer shall install smoke detectors every level in every sleeping area and in every bedroom of the Smoke detectors may not be heard The alarm horn in this smoke meets or exceeds current Underwriter Laboratories stan the occupant or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal noise alarm horn may not be heard In addition sound sleepers or per who 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 sleeping area and in every bedroom of the household general detectors may not always warn you about fires caused carelessness 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 detectors have limitations No type of smoke detector can every kind of fire every time in addition smoke from slow fires rises slowly and may not reach the smoke detector actual flame breaks out This type of smoke may not reach the detector in time for occupants to escape unharmed Smoke smoke detectors have been responsible for saving many lives are not warranted or implied to protect lives or property in the of a fire To keep your equipment in excellent working order ongoing mainte is required per the manufacturer recommendations and UL NFPA standards At a minimum the requirements of Chapter 7 of 72 the National Fire Alarm Code shall be followed A preven maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local representative Though smoke detectors are designed long life they may fail at any time Therefore smoke detectors shall replaced after being in service for 10 years Any smoke detector fire equipment or any component of that system which fails shall repaired or replaced as soon as possible 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 Battery march 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 BEDROOM ROOM DETECTORS FOR MINIMUM PROTECTION DETECTORS FOR MORE PROTECTION AND IN NEW CONSTRUCTION 2 Recommended smoke detector protection for single residence with more than one sleeping area ROOM ROOM DETECTORS FOR PROTECTION DETECTORS FOR PROTECTION AND IN NEW CONSTRUCTION 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 liv unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished In new construction a smoke detector also shall be installed in sleeping room above NFPA standard is a minimum requirement for smoke detector For better protection we also require the installation of a detector inside every bedroom in existing construction Install 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 homes with two bedroom areas See Figure 2 Put a smoke detector on every level of a multi level residence See 3 See Figure 3 3 Recommended smoke detector protection for a multi residence DETECTORS FOR M
