Mounting Guidelines
Determine 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-

ity 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).
A78-1171-02
Figure 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 ceilings
Limitations
All 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.

Preliminary
❑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.
Mounting
The 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.
Testing
Test 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.
Note
After 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 System
Replacing Batteries
When 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.
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 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.
Note
For 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.
Cleaning
Clean the smoke alarm chamber at least once each year.
Figure 8.Smoke Alarm diagram
To 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.
