Mounting GuidelinesDetermine the best mounting location for the smoke alarm using the following guidelines:❑NFPA 72, Chapter 2, Section 2-2.1.1.1 states as fol-lows: “Smoke alarms 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. In new construction, a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping room.”❑NFPA 72, Appendix A, Section A-2.5.2.1 states as fol-lows: “Smoke Detection - 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 of the house protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the household consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas of increased protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, util-Document Number: 466-xxxx Rev. APRELIMINARYApril 2000ITI Part No. 60-848-95, 60-849-95
2ESL Smoke Sensor Model 562Mounting Guidelines Preliminaryity roo, 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 occa-sionally experence conditions that can result in improper operation.”The above NFPA standards are a minimum requirement for smoke sensor installation. For better protection, we also require the installation of a smoke sensor inside every bedroom in existing construction.❑DO NOT mount a smoke alarm to a drop ceiling tile; mount it to a metal runner (see figure 2).Figure 2. Smoke alarm mounted to drop ceiling.❑Mount all smoke alarms within 100 feet of the panel.❑Install a minimum of two smoke alarms in any house-hold, no matter how small it is.❑Put a smoke alarm in the hallway outside of every bed-room area. A minimum of two smoke alarms are required in homes with two bedroom areas (see figure 3).A78-1171-02Figure 3. Residence with multiple sleeping areas❑Put a smoke alarm on every level of a multi-level resi-dence (see figure 4).Figure 4.Multi-level residence❑Install basement alarms on the ceiling at the bottom of the basement stairwell.❑Install smoke alarms on the ceiling as close to the cen-ter of the room as possible. If this is not practical, install it on the ceiling no closer than 4 inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner (see figure 5).❑If ceiling mounting is not practical, install on an inside wall between 4 and 6 inches (10 and 15 cm) from the ceiling (see figure 5).❑Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is more than 30 feet (9 meters) long. Large rooms over 900 square feet require more than a single sensor.Figure 5. Smoke alarm mounting locations❑Areas with rough ceilings or short, transom-type walls coming down from the ceiling require additional smoke alarms.❑Install 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.❑In 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 (see figure 6).Figure 6. Sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilingsLimitationsAll alarms are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons, for example:❑Smoke alarms cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door.❑Alarms may not detect smoke on other levels of the building.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 CEILINGHORIZONTALDISTANCEFROM PEAK3 FEET(.9M)
3ESL Smoke Sensor Model 562MountingPreliminary❑Alarms may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flam-mables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazard-ous conditions.Do Not Install Smoke Alarms in the Following Locations:❑In or near areas where combustion particles are nor-mally present such as kitchens; in garages where there are particles of combustion in vehicle exhausts; near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters. ❑On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens where there is no transom between the kitchen and these rooms.❑In damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers. Install sensors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from bathrooms.❑In very cold or very hot areas.❑In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas. ❑Near 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.❑In dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or wall/ceiling intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm. ❑Near fluorescent light fixtures. Install smoke alarms at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fluorescent 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 sur-faces using No. 8, 1½ inch wood screws. If mounting onto plaster or dry wall, use appropriate 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. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for system response.To test the smoke alarm:1. Put the panel in sensor test mode. Although not neces-sary for this model, it is a good practice to maintain. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for details.❑Simon and Advent panels must be in sensor test. If not, you will not see anything at the panel.WARNING!Commander and Caretaker panels will go into alarm if not in sensor test when the test button is pressed.2. Press and hold the test button on the smoke alarm for 3 to 4 seconds. Figure 7. Smoke Alarm Test Switch and Indicator Light.The sensor should immediately transmit an alarm signal, causing the siren inside the smoke alarm to sound and the status light to flash rapidly. Refer to the panel’s installation instructions for response details.NoteAfter verifying that the siren and signal integrity are adequate, you may want to cover the center opening with your thumb. This will help reduce the siren noise until the test is completed.Maintaining the SystemReplacing BatteriesWhen the batteries need to be replaced, the unit transmits 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.NoteIf you test the smoke alarm or it goes into alarm during this 7-day period, chirp delay is canceled and the unit begins chirping immediately.Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or high humidity may reduce battery life. Replace both batteries when the smoke alarm or panel notifies you that the batteries are low.NoteFor UL installations, use the following battery brands: Sanyo CR123A, Panasonic CR123A, or Duracell DL123A. These can be obtained through Interactive Technologies, Inc. Do not mix brands.CleaningClean the smoke alarm chamber at least once each year.Figure 8.Smoke Alarm diagramTo clean the smoke alarm chamber:1. Place the panel in sensor test mode.2. Remove smoke alarm from mounting ring.3. Remove the batteries. 4. Separate housing from base.5. Remove screen and chamber housing.6. Vacuum screen, chamber housing, and chamber.
