A – 06 Nov 12 562NSTT-OEM Smoke Alarm w/ Heat Detection Sensor Product Introduction This wireless photoelectric smoke alarm and heat detector (product) continually monitor operational status and provide a visual trouble condition if they drift out of the sensitivity range or fail internal diagnostics. This product meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity testing requirements without the need for external meters. The alarm sensitivity level can be determined at the product. Another feature is built-in drift compensation that allows the product to adjust sensitivity automatically as it becomes dirty over time. The drift compensation feature dramatically increases the time between cleanings, as well as reducing the chance of a nuisance alarm. Additional diagnostic information is activated by applying a magnet near the detector’s integral reed switch. This initiates a self-diagnostic routine and provides visual indication of sensitivity level, or if service is required. The product is powered by long life 3V Lithium batteries providing power to both the sensor and wireless transmitter. This wireless product works in conjunction with your wireless Control Panel, providing a local indication.

Depending on the application, you may need to reference other chapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101. Choosing an Installation Location When choosing an installation location, consider: o Use of structure and type of construction o Contents you want to protect and their burning characteristics o Human occupancy o Total area to be monitored o Ceiling height and surface condition o Air movement and vent locations o Obstructions o Deflections After considering these factors, choose a location: o Where the temperature range is between 40° and 100° F (4.4° and 37.8° C). o Where the humidity is between 0 and 90% non-condensing.
UTC. All Rights Reserved. 2 P/N 0000000 – Rev. A – 06 Nov 12 o Away from ventilation sources that can prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm. o That is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from bathrooms. When placing the product on a ceiling, mount it in the center of the room or hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or partitions. When mounting the product on a wall, place it so the top is 4 to 12 inches (10 to 31cm) below the ceiling. In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, place smoke alarms 3 feet (.9 m) down or away from the highest point of the ceiling. If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the tile with the appropriate fastener to prevent tile removal. Smoke Alarms are not to be used with alarm guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. Note: A smoke alarm does not provide warnings for fires resulting from explosions, smoking in bed, or other furniture; ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gasses; and children playing with matches or lighters. Locations to Avoid o Areas where normal ambient temperature exceeds 100° F (37.8° C). o Dirty, dusty, insect infested areas. o In or near areas with combustion particles (kitchens, garages, furnaces, hot-water heaters, gas space heaters). o On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens, where there is no transom between the kitchen and such rooms. o Damp or humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers. o Near fresh-air inlets or returns or very drafty areas. o Near heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes, which can drive smoke away from the smoke alarm. o In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in corners where walls and ceiling meet. Dead air can prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm/alarm. o Within 10 feet (3 m) of fluorescent light fixtures. o Not suitable for outdoor use. WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS 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. 3. Mounting the Sensor Note: Add the product to the Control Panel before physically mounting the smoke alarm in the desired location. A. Disconnect alarm-notification appliances, service-release devices, and extinguishing systems. Test communications between the control panel and smoke alarm before permanently mounting the smoke alarm as follows: − Hold the smoke alarm where you plan to install it. − Press the smoke alarm test button for 8-to-10 seconds. The smoke alarm sends a signal to the control panel. − At the control panel, verify the signal was received and RF signal strength is adequate. If no signal is received or the RF signal is low, relocate the smoke alarm and retest. B. Using two supplied screws and anchors, mount the base. C. Attach the smoke alarm to the mounting base as follows: − Line up the raised alignment tab on the lip of the smoke alarm with the arrow on the mounting base. − Insert the smoke alarm into the base and turn clockwise about 15 degrees until it snaps into place. Note: The product cannot be attached to the mounting base if no batteries are installed. D. Test communications between the control panel and smoke alarm again: − Press the Test button on the alarm for 8-to-10 seconds. The smoke alarm sends a signal to the control panel. − Verify that the signal at the control panel was received. E. Test the smoke alarm, see Section 7. F. The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions should be verified for a complete test of the system.

Product Information 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 occupant(s) 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: o Do not smoke in bed. o Do not leave children home alone. o Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline. o 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.
UTC. All Rights Reserved. 7 P/N 0000000 – Rev. A – 06 Nov 12 o Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets o Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home. o Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared. In Case of Fire In the event of a fire: o Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables. o In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor. o 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. o 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. Be Prepared Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire: o Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. o 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. o 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. o 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.
