Page 1System Sensor Smoke SensorSystem Sensor Smoke Sensor Model 2100ARFTDocument Number: 466-xxxx Rev. A PRELIMINARYAugust 1998INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONSProduct SummaryThe System Sensor™ Smoke Sensor Model 2100ARFT (smoke alarm) is a Learn Mode, wireless, photoelectric smoke sensor with a self-contained alarm siren, a low-battery annunciator, and a status light. The smoke alarm is part of a security/fire alarm system and com-municates with the system’s control panel.Figure 1 illustrates the smoke sensor’s parts.Installation GuidelinesνAvoid installing the unit until all contsruction is completed. The mounting ring may be pre-installed.νLeave the orange dust cover on the unit until sheet rocking and sanding are completed; other-wise, dust can get into the unit and cause false alarms.CAUTION: The orange dust cover must be removed for the unit to detect smoke.νDo not mix battery brands.νNot compatible with CareTaker Plus or custom versions with software versions 3.0 or earlier.νNot compatible with Commander 2000 or custom versions with software versions 4.0 or earlier. (The Commander 2000 announces the version when it is powered up or reset.)Tools NeededνPhillips screwdriver and pocket-sized slotted screwdriverBatteriesUL Note: Each smoke alarm uses two 3-volt lithium batteries. For UL installations, use one of the following: Sanyo CR123A, Panasonic CR123A, or Duracell DL123A. Do not mix brands.Inserting BatteriesThe batteries must be correctly installed before the panel can learn the smoke alarm ID. [Batteries are shipped in the unit backwards.] You must remove them and reinstall them correctly.To insert batteries into the smoke sensor:1. Gently twist the cover counterclockwise to sepa-rate it from the mounting bracket.2. Remove the batteries from the battery compart-ment.3. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment. Observe proper polarity.4. Leave the mounting ring off and proceed to “Learning the Smoke Sensor.”Low BatteriesWhen the batteries need to be replaced, the unit trans-mits a signal to the panel. If the batteries are not replaced within 7 days, the unit will chirp every 40 seconds until the batteries are exhausted.Note: If you test the smoke alarm or it goes into alarm during this 7-day period, chirp delay is canceled and the unit begins chirping immedi-ately.ProgrammingFor more detailed programming information, refer to the specific panel’s installation manual.60-838-95EXHIBIT G
Page 2System Sensor Smoke Sen-CAUTION: If the smoke sensor is attached to the mounting bracket, the panel cannot learn the ID.To add the smoke alarm to panel memory:1. Put the panel in Program Mode/Learn Sensors.2. Select a group and sensor number. 3. Use a pencil or small screwdriver to press the smoke alarm test button for at least one second.The panel will indicate that the sensor has beenlearned. If you release the test button in less than2.5 seconds, the smoke alarm siren will not sound.Mounting GuidelinesDetermine the best mounting location for the smoke alarm using the following guidelines:UL Note: DO NOT mount a smoke alarm to a drop ceiling tile; mount it to a metal runner.νMount all smoke alarms within 100 feet of the panel.νInstall a minimum of two smoke alarms in any household, no matter how small it is.νPut a smoke alarm in the hallway outside of every bedroom area. A minimum of two smoke alarms are required in homes with two bedroom areas (see Figure 4).A78-1171-02Figure 1. Residence with multiple sleeping areas.νPut a smoke alarm on every level of a multi-level residence (Figure 5).νInstall basement alarms on the ceiling at the bot-tom of the basement stairwell.Figure 2. Multi-level residence.νInstall smoke alarms on the ceiling as close to the center of the room as possible. If this is not practi-cal, install it on the ceiling no closer than 4 inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner (Figure 6).νIf ceiling mounting is not practical, install on an inside wall between 4 and 6 inches (10 and 15 cm) from the ceiling (Figure 6).νPut smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hall-way if the hallway is more than 30 feet (9 meters) long. Large rooms over 900 square feet require more than a single sensor.Figure 3. Smoke alarm mounting locations.νAreas with rough ceilings or short, transom-type walls coming down from the ceiling require addi-tional smoke alarms.νInstall second-floor smoke alarms on the ceiling at the top of the first-to-second floor stairwell. Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the unit.νIn rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, install smoke alarms 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured down on the slant from the highest point of the ceiling (Figure 7).BEDROOMSMOKE DETECTORS FORMINIMUM PROTECTIONSMOKE DETECTORS FORMORE PROTECTION AND REQUIRED IN NEW CONSTRUCTIONBEDROOMBEDROOMLIVING ROOMDININGROOMKITCHENFAMILY ROOMBEDROOMBEDROOM BEDROOMLIVINGROOMKITCHENBASEMENTGARAGESMOKE DETECTORS FOR MINIMUM PROTECTIONSMOKE DETECTORS FOR MORE PROTECTION ANDREQUIRED IN NEW CONSTRUCTIONBEST LOCATIONACCEPTABLE LOCATIONDEAD AIRSPACE BEST IN CENTEROF CEILINGNO CLOSER THAN 4" (10 cm)FROM SIDE WALLMOUNT ON WALLAT LEAST 4" (10 cm)FROM CEILINGNO MORETHAN 6" (15 cm)FROM CEILING
System Sensor Smoke SensorPage 3Figure 4. Sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings.Do not install smoke alarms in the following loca-tions:νIn or near areas where combustion particles are normally present such as kitchens; in garages where there are particles of combustion in vehicle exhausts; near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters. νOn the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no transom between the kitchen and these rooms.νIn damp or very humid areas, or next to bath-rooms with showers. Install sensors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from bathrooms.νIn very cold or very hot areas.νIn dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas. νNear fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Air conditioners, heaters, fans, and fresh air intakes and returns can drive smoke away from smoke alarms.νIn dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or wall/ceiling intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm. νNear fluorescent light fixtures. Install smoke alarms at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fluo-rescent light fixtures.MountingThe mounting bracket must be separated from the unit before you begin.To mount the smoke alarm:1. Secure the mounting bracket directly onto wood surfaces using No. 8, 1½ inch wood screws. If mounting onto plaster or dry wall, use appropri-ate anchors.2. Align the arrows on the mounting bracket with the raised marks on the smoke alarm. Turn the smoke alarm clockwise until it locks in place.TestingTest each smoke alarm every week to verify that its siren and signal integrity are adequate.To test the smoke alarm:1. Put the panel in sensor test mode. Refer to the panel’s installation manual for details.Note: To avoid a fire department dispatch from the central station, make sure the panel is in sen-sor test mode before testing.2. Use a pencil or small screwdriver to press and hold the test button on the smoke alarm for 5 sec-onds (Figure 1). The sensor should immediately send an alarm signal to the panel, causing it to beep up to 16 times, or by sounding one high-pitch beep from system sirens (refer to the panel’s installation manual for response details).After 2.5 seconds, the siren inside the smoke alarm sounds and the status light flashes rapidly.Maintaining the Smoke AlarmBatteriesThe 3-volt lithium batteries may last as much as 5 years before they need to be replaced.Replace both batteries when the smoke alarm or panel notifies you that the batteries are low.Cleaning the Smoke Alarm ChamberClean the smoke alarm chamber at least once each year.To clean the smoke alarm chamber:1. Place the panel in sensor test mode.2. Remove the batteries. Do not remove the skirt.3. Follow the instructions in the section “Removing the Shorting Blocks” to remove the cover and the screen.4. Vacuum both the screen and the smoke chamber.HORIZONTALDISTANCEFROM PEAK3 FEET(.9M)
