INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
P/N
Smoke - Drift Compensation
The detector automatically compensates for long-term environmentally
induced changes to maintain a constant smoke sensitivity. When the drift
compensation has reached its high or low limit of adjustment, the detector
will go into the trouble state.
WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA
Standard 74. For complete coverage in residential units, smoke
detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage areas,
basements and attics in each family living unit. Minimum coverage is
one detector on each floor and one in each sleeping area. Here are a
few useful tips for you:
o Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate
bedroom area.
Two detectors are required in homes with two bedroom areas.
o Install a smoke detector on every floor of multi-floor home or
apartment.
o Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
o Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
o Install smoke detectors at both ends of bedroom hallway if the
hallway is more than 12m (40ft) long.
o Install a smoke detector inside every room where one sleeps with the
door partly or completely closed, since smoke could be blocked by the
closed door and a hallway alarm may not wake up the sleeper if the
door is closed.
o Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.
o Install second-floor detectors at the top of the first-to-second floor
stairwell.
o Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the
detector.
o Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family
room, attic, utility and storage rooms.
o Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as
possible. If this is not practical, put the detector on the ceiling, at least
10 cm (4 inch) away from any wall or corner.
o If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by
your local and state codes, put wall-mounted detectors between 10-15
cm (4 - 6 inches) from the ceiling.
o If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to
mount detectors 0.9 m (3 feet) measured horizontally from the highest
point of the ceiling.
Heat Alarm
The heat detector will go into alarm when the heat signal level exceeds
the heat alarm threshold (135°F/57°C); and will automatically restore
when the heat signal level falls bellow the heat alarm threshold (restore).
Tamper
The removal of the detector from the mounting plate initiates a "tamper"
transmission. The tamper condition is restored after the detector is
mounted on the plate.
WARNING: This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential
unit only, which means that it should be used inside a single-family home
or apartment. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas outside the
individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide
early warning to residents
WARNING: This detector, if used as a stand-alone unit, will not alert
people who are hard of hearing.
5
WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS IN MOBILE HOMES
AND RVs
Mobile homes and RVs built after about 1978 were designed and
insulated to be energy-efficient. In mobile homes and RVs built
after1978, smoke detectors should be installed as described above.
Older mobile homes and RVs may have little or no insulation compared
to current standards. Outside walls and roofs are often made of noninsulated metal, which can transfer thermal energy flow from outdoors.
This makes the air right next to them hotter or colder than the rest of the
inside air. These layers of hotter or colder air can keep smoke from
reaching a smoke detector. Therefore, install smoke detectors in such
units only on inside walls. Place them 10 - 15 cm (4 - 6 inches) from the
ceiling. If you are not sure how much insulation is in your mobile home
or RV, then install the detector on an inside wall. If the walls or ceiling
are unusually hot or cold, then install the detector on an inside wall.
Install one detector as close to the sleeping area as possible for
minimum security, or install one detector in each room for more security.
Before you install any detector, please read the following section on
"Where Not to Install Smoke Detectors".
WHERE NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
False alarms occur when smoke detectors are installed where they will
not work properly. To avoid false alarms, do not install smoke detectors
in the following situations:
Combustion particles are by-products of something burning. Do not
install smoke detectors in or near areas where combustion particles are
present, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation, garages
where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters
and space heaters.
Do not install smoke detectors less than 6 m (20 feet) away from
places where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens. If
a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the
detector as far away from the combustion particles as possible,
preferably on the wall. To prevent false alarms, provide good ventilation
in such places.
PREPARE YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR FOR INSTALLATION
Battery Connection
1. Hold mounting base firmly and push the hinge, turn anti-clockwise
to release the base down.
2. The FW2-SMK comes with special mechanism within the battery
holder that prevents the cover from closing if there is no battery
inside.
3. The smoke detector is supplied with a 3V lithium battery.
4. Insert the battery into the battery compartment with the flexible
contacts on the detector.
ID Registration - "LEARN" Procedure
In order to learn the FW2-SMK detector into the control panel, please
refer to the Installer Manual.
NOTE: It is recommended to power up the detector and let the target
receiver "learn" the transmitter’s ID before actual installation.
Refer to the target receiver’s installation instructions and follow the
procedure given there for "learning" transmitter IDs.
Make sure that the receiver is at learning mode - according to control
panel installation instruction.
Use the Back Tamper in order to enroll the unit into the Control Panel.
Enroll the detector
Hold mounting base firmly and push the hinge, turn anti-clockwise to
release the base down.
The tamper switch will be activated and issue a tamper event
transmission that is used to enroll the smoke detector.
HOW TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS
Remove the red cover from detector body.
Hold mounting base firmly and turn it anti-clockwise to release it from
the detector body.
Hold the mounting base against the ceiling and mark the center of
each slot. Drill 2 holes and install the mounting base with the screws .
SETTING UP THE DETECTORS
The FW2-SMK Detector can be set to detect Smoke and Heat or Heat
only.
The default setting is on Smoke & Heat.
If change setting from default is not required - skip this paragraph!
Remove the battery
Open the detector body by releasing 3 plastic snaps at the bottom.
Reassemble the body cover on the base by aligning the snaps against
their holders and pressing them together.
Mode Setting:
Set the Slide switch according the printed on board.
SMK-Smoke & Heat
TEMP- Heat only
Insert the battery according to the polarity into the detector body.
Hold the detector against the mounting base and turn it clockwise
until it fix.
When reassembling the body, pay attention not to bend the Heat Sensor.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Make it a rule to replace the detector’s battery once a year even if there is
no indication that the battery is weak. Also be sure to replace it
immediately upon reception of a low battery message via your control
panel.
TEST PROCEDURE
The detector should be tested weekly and also whenever you
suspect that it does not go into alarm Walk Test
A. Set the control panel to "Walk Test Mode" as described in the Installer
Manual.
B. Push the test button (fig 1d) with your finger until the beeper sounds
C. Verify that the control panel responds to the transmitted smoke alarm.
If the detector fails, have it repaired or replaced immediately, to
ensure that it works properly.
The battery must be replaced only by Size 2/3 CR 17345V
Lithium battery 3V Models: DL123A DURACELL Inc
When the battery is low the detector will send warning signal to the
control panel.
If the battery will not be replaced within a few days the beeper begins to
beep.
Install a new battery immediately. Keep fresh batteries on hand for this
purpose.
A. Remove the detector body from the mounting base,
B. Open the battery cover and remove the old battery,
C. Install a new battery according to polarity and close the cover.
D. Test the unit by pressing on the test button
E. Re-mount the detector on the mounting base
Caution: without batteries the unit cannot be mounted onto the
bracket properly!
Do not disconnect the battery from the detector. This will remove your
protection from fire.
If the alarm horn begins to beep once a minute, this signal means that
the detector’s battery is weak. Install a new battery immediately. Keep
fresh batteries on hand for this purpose.
1. Press the button and hold it till the smoke detector gives out an
intermittent alarm. After 8 seconds, the alarm will convert to the
rash sound like "Bi---Bi---Bi". It shows that it is in the normal
condition.
2. If the test fails, stop using the detector immediately.
3. Don’t test it with fire.
4. If the alarm makes low frequency sound several times, the
battery is low.
11
IMPORTANT:
Never try to avoid false alarms by disabling the detector.
Do not mount smoke detectors in the path of fresh air intake. The flow
of fresh air in and out can drive smoke away from the smoke detector;
thus reducing its efficiency.
In damp or very humid areas or near bathrooms with showers.
Moisture in humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then turns into
droplets upon cooling, which can cause nuisance alarms. Install
smoke detectors at least 3 m (10 feet) away from bathrooms.
In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor
rooms. If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of
smoke detector, it will not work properly. The temperature range for
your smoke detector is 4C to 38C (40F to 100F).
In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the detector’s
sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt
can block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector
from sensing smoke.
Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters
or fans. Fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away from
smoke detectors.
Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners
between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from
reaching a detector.
In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector’s sensing chamber,
they may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid
of them before putting up a detector.
Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from fluorescent lights may
cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 1.5 m (5 feet)
from such lights.
WARNING:
Never remove batteries to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window or fan
the air around the detector to get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn
itself off when the smoke is gone. If nuisance alarms persist, attempt to
clean the detector as described in this manual.
WARNING:
Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. The
alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency. Too much exposure
to the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
WARNING:
Never use an open flame of any kind to test your detector. You may set
fire to damage the detector as well as your home. The built-in test switch
accurately tests all detector functions, as required by Underwriters’
Laboratories. This is the only correct way to test the unit.
NOTE:
If the alarm horn produces a loud continuous sound when you are not
testing the unit, this means the detector has sensed smoke or
combustion particles in the air. Verify that the alarm is a result of a
possible serious situation, which requires your immediate attention.
The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation. Cooking smoke or a
dusty furnace, sometimes called "friendly fires" can cause the alarm to
sound. If this happens, open a window or fan the air away to remove the
smoke or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the air is completely
LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
1. United States NFPA72 tells that the safety of life is to be
noticed by alarms before fire, to confirm the correct escape
way. The fire systems help half of residents escape and we
should help the old people, women and children more because
they are always the victims.
2. Smoke alarms are not foolproof, they can’t prevent or
extinguish fires, and they are not a substitute for property or life
insurance. You need buy some firefighting facilities.
3. Sometimes the smoke is blocked by objects and can’t reach the
detector, and if the wind blows the smoke away from the
detector, the unit won’t work either.
12
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Never use water, cleaners or solvents to clean your smoke
alarm since they may damage the unit.
Cleaning
1. Open the cover and vacuum the dust off the detector’s
sensing chamber at least once a year. This can be done
when you open the detector to change the battery. Remove
the battery before cleaning. Use the soft brush attachment
to your vacuum cleaner. Carefully remove any dust on
detector components, especially on the openings of the
sensing chamber. Replace the battery after cleaning. Test
the detector to make sure that the battery is in correctly.
Also make sure there is no foreign matter inside the test
button.
2. NOTE: If nuisance alarms keep occurring, check whether
the detector’s location is adequate (see p.4.1 and 4.2).
Relocate the unit if it is not located properly. Clean as
described above.
3. To clean the detector’s cover, first open the cover and
remove the battery. Hand-wash the cover with cloth
dampened with clean water. Dry it with lint-free cloth. Do not
get any water on the detector components. Replace the
battery, and close the cover. Test detector to make sure that
battery works correctly.
WARNING:
Dust can damage the smoke detector's sensitivity. The detector needs to
be cleaned at least once a year, use vacuum cleaner to clean dust out of
unit.
