Smoke Alarm Features 388 West Center Street Orem, UT 84057 Technical Support 866-670-1591 www.2gig.com DESCRIPTION The 2GIG-SMKT2-345 is a photoelectric smoke alarm with a built-in transmitter designed for use with the 2GIG-CNTRL-345 security system. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm. Twenty seconds after the local alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to the Control Panel. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is still present. In addition to the photoelectric detector, the unit contains an integrated fixed 135° temperature and rate-of-rise heat sensor that will send an alarm signal based on temperature detected. Battery compartment BUILT-IN WIRELESS TRANSMITTER The smoke alarm can send three different wireless signals to the alarm Control Panel: alarm, low battery, and status. Every hour, the smoke alarm sends a status transmission to the Control Panel. The hourly signal updates the Control Panel with the smoke alarm’s condition. By monitoring status transmissions, the Control Panel can determine that the smoke alarm is still operational in the installation and if it has a low battery. The Control Panel must be programmed to the transmitter’s serial number before system testing and operation. Refer to the Control Panel’s instructions for details on programming. Figure 2.

See Figure 3. • Insert the unit into the base and turn clockwise approximately 15 degrees. It should snap firmly into place. • IMPORTANT: The unit cannot be attached to the base if no batteries are installed. PROGRAM SMOKE ALARM INTO THE CONTROL PANEL Before testing the smoke alarm, the internal wireless transmitter must be programmed into the Control Panel. 1. Refer to the Control Panel’s instructions to prepare the receiver to accept the smoke alarm’s serial number. 2. Press the smoke alarm’s TEST/SILENCE button for 4 seconds. The smoke alarm will perform a sounder test, a sensitivity test, and send a test signal to the Control Panel. 3. Verify that the signal was received by the Control Panel and that the sensor was entered into the system. 4. Exit Control Panel programming before testing the smoke alarm. Figure 3. Smoke Alarm-to-Base Alignment SMOKE TEST Units should be tested in place annually using one of the following methods: A. Use Smoke! in a can® and follow directions on the can. B. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the unit and gently direct the smoke into the smoke entry openings for 20 seconds or until an alarm is indicated. The smoke alarm LED should stay on and the sounder should emit a temporal three pattern, and an alarm should be indicated at the Control Panel. Disarm the system to reset the Control Panel alarm. Be sure to extinguish the smoke source after testing! SILENCE THE ALARM Press the TEST/SILENCE button to silence the sounder during an alarm. After a few minutes, the sounder and alarm resume if smoke is still present. SENSITIVITY TEST 1. Press and hold the TEST/SILENCE button for 4 seconds. Once the test starts, the smoke alarm LED flashes 1 to 9 times. 2. Count the number of LED flashes and use the following table to determine if any action is necessary. FLASHES 0-1 INDICATION Unserviceable hardware fault 2-3 Unit is becoming insensitive 4-7 Unit is within normal sensitivity range ACTION Reset and rerun sensitivity test. If the error persists, replace the unit. Clean and reset the unit. Rerun sensitivity test. If the error persists, replace the unit. No action required Verify that the optical chamber is snapped down securely. Clean 8-9 the unit and replace the optical chamber. After the LED flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests pass, the unit goes into alarm and resets after 7 seconds. If the sensitivity is not within limits, or an unserviceable hardware fault has been detected, the unit LED extinguishes until the unit is serviced. Unit is becoming too sensitive LED FUNCTIONS Flashing — Flashes every 9 seconds to indicate normal operation. On — Detects smoke Off — Trouble or maintenance is required. WHEN TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES When the batteries are low, the unit extinguishes its LED and chirps every 45 seconds until the batteries are replaced. The low battery trouble chirps can be silenced for 24 hours by pressing the TEST/SILENCE button. Battery life is a minimum of one year, and varies depending on how often the unit is tested. REPLACING THE BATTERIES Use only 3V lithium batteries listed on the battery compartment cover. 1. Remove the unit from the mounting base, grasp the unit and turn it counterclockwise approximately 15 degrees. 2. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the smoke alarm to unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure 2. 3. Remove the batteries and dispose of them properly. 4. Observing correct polarity, insert two new 3V lithium batteries into the battery compartment and replace the cover. 5. Reattach the unit to the mounting base. See Installation, Step 6. 6. Test the system. 8. Observing proper polarity, replace the batteries and the battery compartment cover. 9. Reattach the unit to its mounting base. See Installation, Step 6. 10. Test the unit sensitivity. MAINTENANCE The units are designed for easy field service and maintenance. When installed and used properly, they require minimal maintenance. The unit should be tested weekly. When a unit requires maintenance, it extinguishes its LED and stops sending supervisory signals to the alarm Control Panel. If the Control Panel indicates supervisory trouble for the smoke alarm, perform the sensitivity test and follow the recommended actions.

Smoke Alarm Parts SELECTING A LOCATION Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of smoke alarms. This equipment should be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72 (see Figure 6). A-11-8.3a Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms in Existing Construction. The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs at night when everyone is asleep. The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fires in the remainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke alarm(s) is best located between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroom area on one floor, the smoke alarm(s) should be located as shown in Figure 6A. In family living units with more than one bedroom area or with more than one floor, more than one smoke alarm is required, as shown in Figure 6B. In addition to smoke alarms outside of the sleeping areas, the installation of a smoke alarm on each additional story of the family living unit, including the basement, is required. These installations are shown in Figure 6C. The living area smoke alarm should be installed in the living room or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. The basement smoke alarm should be installed in close proximity to the stairway leading to the floor above. Where installed on an open-joisted ceiling, the alarm should be placed on the bottom of the joists. The alarm should be positioned relative to the stairway to intercept smoke coming from a fire in the basement before smoke enters the stairway. Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms in New Construction. All of the smoke alarms specified for existing construction are required and, in addition, a smoke alarm is required in each bedroom. Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. Since regulations pertaining to smoke alarm/detector installation vary from state to state, contact the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Where public safety is primary, the AHJ may be fedral, state, local, or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor or health department, building official, electrical inspector, or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In some cases, the property owner or their designated agent assumes the role of the AHJ. At government installations, the commanding officer or department official may be the AHJ. In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the chance of false alarms from the alarm: • Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms in he center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches (10cm) from any walls or partitions. • Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms so the top of the alarm is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below the ceiling. • Locate in a suitable environment as follows: • Temperature between 40°F (4.4°C) and 100°F (37.8°C) • Humidity between 0 and 95% non-condensing • Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers, and any other ventilation source that may interfere with smoke entering the alarm. • Mount smoke alarms on a firm permanent surface. • Locate away from large metallic objects to reduce shielding of the wireless transmitter’s signal. Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. Indicates additional smoke alarms required for new construction IMPORTANT: Regulations pertaining to smoke alarm installations vary from state to state. For more information, contact your local fire department or local authority having jurisdiction. Figure 6. Smoke Alarm Placement WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS BE PREPARED Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions. No fire alarm provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Smoke alarms require a source of power to work. This smoke alarm will not operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not installed properly. Smoke alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has taken drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom. Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This alarm is not designed for the hearing impaired. Smoke alarms may not always activate and provide warning early enough. Smoke alarms only activate when enough smoke reaches the alarm. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed doors, or on a different level of the property, enough smoke may not reach the alarm for it to alarm. Smoke alarms are a significant help in reducing loss, injury and even death. However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly under every circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot expect a smoke alarm to ensure that you will never suffer any damage or injury. Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals. It is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire: • Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. • Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important that children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis. • Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering the house for a missing member who is actually safe. • If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing in your household, use window decals to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of these individuals. FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the premises safely. AVOID FIRE HAZARDS No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows: • Do not smoke in bed. • Do not leave children home alone. • Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline. • Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to fire. • Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets • Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home. • Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared. IN CASE OF FIRE In the event of a fire: • Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables. • In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor. • If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all members of the household realize and understand this danger. • Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals.
