INTRODUCTION
Everday’s single station photoelectric smoke detector is designed to sense
smoke that comes into the detector chamber. It does not sense gas, heat, or
flame. This smoke detector is designed to give early warning of developing
fires by giving off the alarm sounds from its built-in alarm horn. It can
provide precious time for you and your family to escape before a fire
spreads. However, the smoke detector makes such pre-warning of fire
accident possible, only if the detector is located, installed, and maintained
properly as described in this User's Manual.
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. It is not meant to be used in lobbies, hallways, basements, or
another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are already working
detectors in each family unit. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas
outside of the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may
not provide early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family
living unit should set up its own detectors.
WARNING: This detector is not meant to be used in non-residential
buildings. Warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, and special
purpose non-residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm
systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire
detection systems for places where many people live or work, such as
hotels or motels. The same is true of dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes
or group homes of any kind, even if they were once single-family homes.
Please refer NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D,
and 72E for smoke detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not
defined as “households”.
WARNING: This detector will not alert people who are hard of hearing. It is
strongly recommended that the special-purpose smoke detectors, using
lights or vibrating devices, should be installed to alert occupants who are
hard of hearing.
LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA Standard
74 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02169). 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, we have good tips for you:
• Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate bedroom
area, as shown in Figure 1. Two detectors are required in homes with
two bedroom areas, as shown in Figure 2.
• Install a smoke detector on every floor of a multi-floor home or
apartment, as shown in Figure 3.
• Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
• Install smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the
hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
• 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.

• Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.
• Install second-floor detectors at the top of the first-to-second floor
stairwell.
• Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the
detector.
• Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family room,
attic, utility and storage rooms.
• Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as possible.
If this is not practical, put the detector on the ceiling, no closer than 4
inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner, as shown in Figure 4.
• If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by
your local and state codes, put wall-mounted detectors between 4 and
6 inches (10 ~ 15 cm) from the ceiling, also see Figure 4.

Figure 5: RECOMMENDED LOCATION TO
MOUNT SMOKE DETECTORS IN
ROOMS WITH SLOPED, GABLED,
OR PEAKED CEILING
CAUTION (As required by the California State Fire Marshall)
“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: (1)
A smoke detector installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity,
but outside of the bedrooms), and (2) Heat or smoke detectors in the living
rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms,
closets, utility and, storage rooms, basements and attached garages.”
For your information, NFPA Standard 74, Section 2-4 reads as follows:
“2-4.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each
additional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding
crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
The provisions of 2-4.1.1 represent the minimum number of detectors
required by this standard. It is recommended that the householder consider
the use of additional smoke detectors for increased protection for those
areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke
detectors under 2-4.1.1 above. The recommended additional areas are
living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished),
furnace room, utility room, basement, integral or attached garage, and
hallways not included in 2-4.1.1 above. However, the use of additional
detectors remains the option of the householder.” We recommend complete
coverage and use of additional smoke detectors.
LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE
DETECTORS
Nuisance alarms take place when smoke detectors are installed where they
will not work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install smoke
detectors in the following situations:
• Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning.
Thus, in or near areas where combustion particles are present you do not
install the smoke detectors to avoid nuisance alarms, 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 20 feet (6 meters) 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 nuisance alarm alarms, provide good
ventilation in such places.
IMPORTANT: For any reason, do not disable the detector to avoid
nuisance alarms.
• When air streams passing by kitchens, the way how a detector can
sense combustion particles in normal air-flow paths is graphically
shown in Figure 6, which indicates the correct and incorrect smoke
detector locations concerning this problem.
Figure 6: RECOMMENDED
SMOKE DETECTOR
LOCATIONS TO AVOID AIR
STREAMS WITH
COMBUSTION PARTICLES
• 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 10 feet (3 meters) 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 40oF to 100oF (4oC to 38oC).
• 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. See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting locations.
• 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 5 feet (1.5
meters) from such lights.
WARNING: Never remove power from a DC-power operated detector 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
User’s 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.
INSTALLING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
This smoke detector is made to be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall if
necessary. Since this smoke detector is a single-station type, it cannot be
linked to other detectors.
WARNING: Do not connect this smoke detector to any other alarm or
auxiliary device. Connecting anything else to this detector will keep it from
working properly.
Read “LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS” and
“LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS” section in
this Manual first, and then decide where to install a detector. Please follow
these steps to install your smoke detector:
1. At the place where you are going to install the detector, draw a
horizontal line six inches long.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit by rotating it
counterclockwise.
3. Place the bracket so that the two longest slots are aligned on the line.
In each of keyhole slots, draw a mark to locate a mounting plug and
screw.
4. Remove the bracket.
5. Using a 3/16-inch (5mm) drill bit, drill two holes at the marks and insert
plastic wall plugs. Put the detector away from getting plaster dust on it
when you drill holes for mounting.
6. Using the two screws and plastic wall plugs (all supplied), attach the
bracket to the wall.
7. Line up the side slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the detector
onto the mounting bracket and turn it anti-clockwise to fix it into place.
Pull outward on the detector to make sure it is securely attached to the
mounting bracket.
KEYHOLE

8. The steps to open the detector cover and to install the battery are listed
as follows:
page 3 (SD738-EI00 04/2004)
(1). To power Smoke detector
requires an alkaline
battery.
(2). Match terminals on the
end(s) of the battery with
opposite terminal
connections on the
detector. Be sure to insert
the alkaline battery in the
position shown on the
detector.
(3). When terminals are
properly matched, push
battery firmly in until it
snaps and cannot be
shaken loose.
9. When the detector power first makes contact with the detector, the
alarm horn may sound for one second. This means normal and
indicates that the power is positioned properly. Close cover, then press
test button, holding it down for about 5 seconds until the horn sounds.
The horn should sound a loud, pulsating alarm. This means the unit is
working properly.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
Test the detector weekly by pushing firmly on the test button with your finger
until the horn sounds. Testing method may take up to 20 seconds to sound
the alarm horn. These are only ways to be sure that detector is working
correctly. If the detector fails to test properly, have it repaired or replaced
immediately. If you suspect that your detector does not go into alarm, test it
by pressing the test button with your finger to ensure if it works properly.
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. They are the only correct ways to test the unit.
WARNING: When you are not testing the unit and the alarm horn sounds a
loud continuous sound, this means the detector has sensed smoke or
combustion particles in the air. Be sure that the alarm horn is a warning 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 to remove the smoke
or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the air is completely clear.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the power from the detector. This will
remove your protection from fires.
• If the alarm horn begins to beep once a minute, this signal means that
the detector’s power is weak. Recheck the DC power. Keep proper DC
power on hand for this purpose.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
Your smoke detector is designed to be maintenance-free as possible. To
keep your detector in good working order, you must test the detector weekly,
as referring to section “TESTING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR”.
• Recheck the DC power when the low battery “beep” signal sounds
once minute.
• Open the cover and vacuum the dust off the detector’s sensing
chamber at least once a year. Disconnect DC power before cleaning.
To clean detector, use soft brush attachment to your vacuum. Carefully
remove any dust on detector components, especially on the openings
of the sensing chamber. Reconnect DC power after cleaning. Test
detector to make sure DC power is in correctly. Check to make sure
there are no obstructions inside the test button. If there is any dust in
the test button, insert a toothpick from the back to the front.
NOTE: If nuisance alarms keep coming from the detector, you should
check whether the detector’s location is adequate. Refer to section
“WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS.” Move your detector if it
is not located properly. Clean detector as described above.
• Clean detector cover when it gets dirty. First open cover and
disconnect DC power. 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. Reconnect the DC power, and close cover. Test
detector to make sure that DC power works correctly.
TIPS TO ENHANCE YOUR PROTECTION FROM FIRES
Putting up smoke detectors is only one step in protecting your family from
fires. You must also reduce the chances that fires will start in your home.
And you must increase your chances of escaping safely if one does start. To
have a good fire safety program you must apply the following tips to
enhance your family’s protection from fires:
1. Install smoke detectors properly. Carefully follow all the instructions in
this manual. Keep your smoke detectors clean, and test them every
week.
2. Remember that detectors that do not work will not alert you. Replace
your smoke detectors immediately if they are not working properly.
3. Follow fire safety rules, and prevent hazardous situations:
• Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials in proper containers. Never use them
near open flame or sparks.
• Keep electrical appliances in good condition. Do not overload
electrical circuits.
• Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease
free. Make sure they are properly installed and away from any
combustible materials.
• Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away
from combustible materials.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Keep a supply of extra batteries on hand for your battery powered
smoke detectors.
4. Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire family. Be
sure to include small children in your practice.
• Draw a floor plan of your home, and find two ways to exit from
each room. There should be one way to get out of each bedroom
without opening the door.
• Explain to children what the smoke detector alarm signal means.
Teach them that they must be prepared to leave the home by
themselves if necessary. Show them how to check to see if doors
are hot before opening them. Show them how to stay close to the
floor and crawl if necessary. Show them how to use the alternate
exit if the door is hot and should not be opened.
• Decide on a meeting place that has a safe distance from your
house. Make sure that all your children understand that they
should go and wait for you there if there is a fire.
• Hold fire drills at least every 6 months to make sure that everyone,
even small children, knows what to do to escape safely.
• Know where to go to call the Fire Department from outside your
home.
• Provide emergency equipment, such as fire extinguishers, and
teach your family to use this equipment properly.
MORE TIPS TO FACE A FIRE IN YOUR HOME
If you have made a family escape plan and practiced it with your family, you
have increased their chances of escaping safely. Go over the following tips
with your children each time you have fire drills. This will help everyone
remember these tips in case of a real fire emergency.
1. Don’t panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking
clearly and remembering what you have practiced.
2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape
route. Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed.
3. Feel the doors to see if they are hot. If they are not, open them
carefully. Do not open a door if it is hot. Use an alternate escape route.
4. Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet or damp cloth. Take short,
shallow breaths.
6. Keep doors and windows closed. Open them only if you have to
escape.
7. Meet at your planned meeting place after leaving the house.
8. Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside your house.
Give the address and your name.
9. Never go back inside a burning building. Contact your local Fire
Department. They will give you more ideas about how to make your
home safer from fires and how to plan your family’s escape.

SMOKE DETECTOR WITH OPTIONAL WIRELESS
TRANSMITTER INFORMATION
Wireless Installation Location
The location of the wireless smoke detector affects the overall performance
of the wireless system. In order to ensure the best possible signal reception,
the following criteria should be respected whenever possible:
• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reflect and absorb
radio frequency (RF) signals, as well as interference that may distort
signals. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e.
neon lights, computers), and on or near metal objects, circuit breaker
boxes, air conditioners, and heater ducts since they may cause
interference and reduce the module’s sensitivity
• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature changes
• Respect the maximum allowable distance between the smoke detector
and the wireless receiver
WARNING: Do not cut, bend, or alter the antenna. Ensure that the
electrical wires do not cross over the antenna when connected.
Smoke Detector Zone Assignment
When assigning the smoke detector to a wireless receiver and you are
prompted to open and close the module’s cover (press anti-tamper switch),
press the smoke detector’s Test button to assign it to the receiver.
Check-In Supervision
The MG-SMK1 transmits a check-in supervision signal to the receiver at
regular intervals. This value is pre-determined and cannot be programmed.
Alarm Transmission
Upon detection of an alarm condition (smoke) the detector will transmit an
alarm signal every 30 seconds to the wireless receiver until the condition
stops. Once the alarm condition has stopped, the detector will wait 5
seconds then transmit a restore signal to the wireless receiver. The restore
signal is transmitted only once to the receiver after an alarm condition has
stopped.
Low Battery
If the smoke detector experiences a low battery condition, it will wait 5
minutes and then transmit a low battery signal to the receiver. The smoke
detector will continue to transmit a low battery signal every 12 hours until the
battery is replaced.
Replacing the Battery
After replacing the battery, test the detector to ensure proper functioning
(refer to Testing the Smoke Detector).
Testing the Smoke Detector
It is strongly recommended to test the smoke detector a minimum of once
every month. When the Test button is pressed, the smoke detector sends
an alarm signal to the wireless receiver. If the smoke detector zone is
defined as a Delayed 24hr Fire Zone, the alarm signal is not sent to the
central monitoring station. If the smoke detector zone is defined as an
Instant 24hr Fire Zone, the alarm signal is immediately sent to the central
monitoring station. In this case, contact the central monitoring station before
performing the test to avoid a false alarm. Refer to the security system
manual for more information on testing the security system.
To test the smoke detector:
1. If the smoke detector zone is an Instant 24hr Fire Zone, contact the
Central Monitoring Station to advise them of the test.
2. Press and hold the Test button for approximately 3 seconds until the
buzzer activates.
3. If the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, the alarm will stop automatically. If
the zone is an Instant Fire Zone, enter a valid code # (PIN) to stop the
alarm.
Product compatibility:

WARNING: This device is not intended as life -saving device and should
not be connected with any life saving device or fire system. This device
is only intended to be used in residences.
WARNING: If the smoke detector does not emit an alarm, connect or
replace the battery and then re-test the detector. If the smoke detector
still does not respond, contact your distributor.
WARNING: LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE
DETECTORS/TRANSMITTERS
This smoke detector is designed to activate and initiate emergency action, but
will only do so when used in conjunction with an authorized fire alarm system.
This detector must be installed in accordance with NFPA standard 72.
Smoke detectors will not work without power. AC or DC powered smoke
detectors will not work if, for any reason, the power supply is cut off. An
alarm signal sent by the wireless transmitter in this detector may be blocked
or reflected by metal before reaching the alarm receiver. Even if the signal
path has been recently checked, blockage may occur if a metal object is
moved into the path.
Smoke detectors will not sense fires when smoke does not reach the
detectors. Smoldering fires typically do not generate a large amount of heat,
which is needed to drive smoke up to the ceiling where the smoke detector is
usually located. For this reason, there may be large delays in detecting a
smoldering fire with either an ionization-type detector or a photoelectric-type
detector. Either one of them may only generate an alarm after flaming has
initiated, which will generate the heat needed to drive the smoke to the
ceiling.
Smoke from fires in chimneys, in walks, on roofs, or on the other side of a
closed door may not reach the smoke detector and generate an alarm. A
detector may not quickly detect or sense at all, a fire developing on another
level of a building. Alarm warning devices, such as bells or horns, may not
alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of
closed or partly open doors, or on another level. Persons may not hear a
warning device over the noise levels of a radio, air conditioner or appliances
or traffic. For this reason, detectors are strongly recommended to be
located on every level and in every bedroom within a building. Alarm
warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or
waken deep sleepers.
Smoke detectors shall be located in any room where an alarm control is
located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC
source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire
within any of these rooms could prevent the QED control from reporting a
fire.
Sensing limitations of smoke detectors. Ionization detectors and
photoelectronic detectors are required to pass fire tests of the flaming and
smoldering types. This is to ensure that both can detect a wide range of fires.
Ionization detectors offer a broad range of fire-sensing capability, but
they are somewhat better at detecting fast flaming fires than
slow-smoldering fires. Photoelectronic detectors sense smoldering fires
better than flaming fires, which have little, if any, visible smoke. Because
fires develop in different ways, and are often unpredictable in their growth,

page 5 (SD738-EI00 04/2004)
neither type of detector is necessarily the best, and a given detector
may not always provide early warning of a specific type of fire.
In general, detectors cannot be expected to provide warning for fires
resulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions,
escaping gases that ignite, improper storage of flammable liquids like
cleaning solvents that ignite, other similar safety hazards, arson,
smoking in bed, children playing with matches or lighters, etc. Smoke
detectors used in high air velocity conditions may have a delay in alarm
due to dilution of smoke densities created by frequent and rapid air
exchanges. Additionally, high air velocity environments may create
increased dust contamination, demanding more frequent detector
maintenance.
Maintenance of smoke detectors must be done. To keep your
equipment in excellent working order, ongoing monthly maintenance is
required as outlined above and as per UL and NFPA standards. At a
minimum, the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, the National Fire
Alarm Code, shall be followed. A preventative maintenance agreement
should be arranged through the local manufacturer’s representative.
Though smoke detectors are designed for long life, they may fail at any
time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm equipment, or any component of
that system which fails must be repaired or replaced as soon as
possible.
