Hazard Detector(s)
Prior to adding a Siren Detector it is necessary to first
install and activate your InGrid System and to have a Handset and/or
Console available for use in the Siren Detector installation process.
Important:
THE INGRID MODEL SDC1000 SIREN DETECTOR
DOES NOT DETECT THE EXISTENCE OF HAZARDS
SUCH AS FIRE, SMOKE, OR CARBON MONOXIDE.
INSTEAD, IT MONITORS FOR AND DETECTS THE
SOUND OF HAZARD DETECTOR SIRENS THAT
FEATURE ALL FOUR OF THE FOLLOWING
CHARACTERISTICS: 1. ARE LOCATED WITHIN 4
INCHES OF THE SIREN DETECTOR, 2. ARE
MANUFACTURED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH UL985 INDUSTRY STANDARDS,
3. CREATE SOUND VOLUME OF AT LEAST 85 DBA
AT 10 FEET AT 3000 HZ, AND 4. SOUND FOR AT
LEAST 20 CONTINUOUS SECONDS. WHILE MOST
HAZARD DETECTORS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD
MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS, SIREN DETECTOR
USERS ARE EXPECTED TO SUCCESSFULLY TEST
THE SIREN DETECTOR TOGETHER WITH THE
HAZARD DETECTOR AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR. IF
A SIREN DETECTOR DOES NOT SUCCESSFULLY
RESPOND TO A HAZARD DETECTOR SIREN DURING
A TEST, IT MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON TO DETECT
A SIREN DURING AN ACTUAL HAZARD CONDITION.
THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
(NFPA) RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF HAZARD
DETECTORS THAT ARE 10 YEARS (OR MORE) OLD
SINCE THE INTERNAL ELECTRONICS MAY NO
LONGER RELIABLY DETECT HAZARDS.
USERS ARE EXPECTED TO REPLACE HAZARD
DETECTOR BATTERIES AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR
SO THAT THE ELECTRONICS (INCLUDING THE
SIREN) OPERATE PROPERLY DURING A HAZARD
CONDITION.
Important:
IF HAZARD DETECTORS ARE INTERCONNECTED
WITHIN A PROTECTED PREMISES, ONE HAZARD
DETECTOR MAY SOUND ITS SIREN BASED UPON A
SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER INTERCON-
NECTED HAZARD DETECTOR. IN THIS MANNER,
ONE SIREN DETECTOR MAY BE USEFUL FOR
MONITORING HAZARDS REPORTED BY MORE
THAN ONE HAZARD DETECTOR.
DETERMINE IF ONE OR MORE HAZARD
DETECTORS ARE INTERCONNECTED BY PRESSING
AND HOLDING THE TEST BUTTON ON ONE HAZARD
DETECTOR FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS. IF SIRENS
ON OTHER HAZARD DETECTORS SOUND DURING
THIS TEST, THESE OTHER HAZARD DETECTORS
ARE INTERCONNECTED. IF HAZARD DETECTORS IN
THE PROTECTED PREMISES ARE NOT INTERCON-
NECTED, A SIREN DETECTOR IS REQUIRED FOR
EACH EXISTING HAZARD DETECTOR IN THE
PROTECTED PREMISES THAT NEEDS TO BE
MONITORED.
THE USE OF AT LEAST TWO (2) INDIVIDUAL SIREN
DETECTORS (MONITORING TWO INDIVIDUAL
HAZARD DETECTORS) IS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED, REGARDLESS OF THE EXISTING
HAZARD DETECTOR INSTALLATION TYPE.
Important:
AFTER REMOVING THE BATTERY
INSULATOR TAB, PRESS DOWN ON THE TOP
OF THE BATTERY TO MAKE SURE IT HAS NOT
BEEN DISLODGED IN THE PROCESS OF
REMOVING THE TAB.
Introduction
Installing Your InGrid
Siren Detector
Siren Detector Kit Contents
Locate and remove the Installation Template on the bottom of the
Siren Detector box.
Place the Installation Template directly next to the (existing) hazard
detector so that the large curved side of the template rests against the
outer edge of the hazard detector.
Using a pencil or pen, mark the location of the two (screw) hole
openings in the template on the ceiling. These marks will be used as
a mounting location reference in the next step.

Siren Detectors operate in tandem with existing home hazard
detectors. A “hazard detector” is a device which monitors the home
environment for the existence of a hazard condition, such as smoke,
fire or carbon monoxide. Hazard detectors utilize internal electronics to
sample the surrounding air and monitor for conditions that indicate the
occurrence of the targeted hazard. If a hazard condition is sensed, the
device typically responds with a visual and/or siren alert.
InGrid Siren Detectors operate differently. InGrid Siren Detectors are
designed to monitor for the occurrence of siren sounds coming
from a nearby hazard detector. When they detect the siren sound of a
hazard detector (located no more than 4 inches away) and the sound
meets certain pre-determined audio requirements, the Siren Detector
will report this event back to the InGrid system. Upon receiving the
siren detection message, the InGrid system will sound an audio alert on
all pre-programmed audio alert devices and (if the InGrid system is
actively monitored under a current service plan and is connected to an
operating telecommunications circuit) will send a corresponding
message to the monitoring center. This message will be based upon the
type of hazard detector for which the siren detector has been configured
("Fire/Smoke" or "Both" setting - a fire alarm message will be sent,
"Carbon Monoxide" - a carbon monoxide message will be sent).
