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.

This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family
using the latest technology available. Review the information in this
section to ensure you get the most out of the product. The information
in this User Guide is in accordance with NFPA 72 and/or CAN/ULC-
S524, depending on country of installation.
Pre-installation Considerations
Install the smoke alarm in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association’s (NFPA) Standard 72, Chapters 2 and 8. 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.

16. 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.
WARNING
Smoke Alarms CANNOT provide warnings for fires resulting from
explosions, smoking in bed or other furniture, ignition of flammable
liquids, vapors and gases, children playing with matches or lighters.

The above warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, and
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose are limited in duration for a period of THREE years from the
date of manufacture. Under no circumstances shall manufacturer be
liable to the purchaser or any other person for incidental or

occasioned, whether alleged as resulting from breach of warranty by
manufacturer, the negligence of manufacturer or otherwise.
Manufacturer’s liability will in no event exceed the purchase price of the

year after the cause of action has occurred.
No agent, employee or representative of the Manufacturer nor any
