BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area where the smoke alarm is installed before removing it from

the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

•

This unit will not alert hearing impaired residents. It is recommended that you install special units

which use devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired residents.

•

Installation of this unit must conform to the electrical codes in your area; Articles 210 and 300.3 (B) of NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 72,

NFPA 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO); NBC (BOCA); OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or building codes that may apply. Wiring and

installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or property damage.

•

This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC pure sine wave 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit

cannot be turned off by a switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to connect

this unit to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection.

•

This smoke alarm must have AC or battery power to operate. If the AC power fails, battery back-up will allow

the alarm to sound for at least 4 minutes. If AC power fails and the battery is weak, protection should last

for at least 7 days. If AC power fails and the battery is dead or missing, the alarm cannot operate.

•

Never disconnect the power from an AC powered unit to stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove

your protection. In the case of a true unwanted alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset

automatically when it returns to normal operation. Never remove the batteries from a battery operated unit to stop an unwanted alarm

(caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

•

Unit will not operate without battery power. The smoke alarm cannot work until you activate the battery power pack.

•

Connect this unit ONLY to other compatible units. See “How To Install This Smoke Alarm” for details. Do not connect it to any other

type of alarm or auxiliary device. Connecting anything else to this unit may damage it or prevent it from operating properly.

•

Do not install this unit over an electrical junction box. Air currents around junction boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the

sensing chamber and prevent the unit from alarming. Only AC powered units are intended for installation over junction boxes.

•

This smoke alarm has a battery drawer which resists closing unless a battery is installed.

This warns you the unit will not operate under DC power without a battery.

•

Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is sounding. It is loud to wake you in an

emergency. Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your hearing.

•

Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the sensing chambers and prevent the unit from operating properly.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

Important! Read “Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” before beginning. This unit

monitors the air, and when smoke reaches its sensing chamber, it alarms. It can give you more time to escape before fire spreads. This

unit can ONLY give an early warning of developing fires if it is installed, maintained and located where smoke can reach it, and where all

residents can hear it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense gas, heat, or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

Understand The Different Type of Smoke Alarms: Battery powered or electrical? Different smoke

alarms provide different types of protection. See “About Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know Where To Install Your Smoke Alarms: Fire Safety Professionals recommend at least one smoke alarm

on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and in every bedroom hallway or separate sleeping area. See

“Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms” for details.

Know What Smoke Alarms Can and Can’t Do: A smoke alarm can help alert you to fire, giving you precious time to escape.

It can only sound an alarm once smoke reaches the sensor. See “Limitations of Smoke Alarms” for details.

Check Your Local Building Codes: This smoke alarm is designed to be used in a typical single-family home. It alone will not meet

requirements for boarding houses, apartment buildings, hotels or motels. See “Special Compliance Considerations” for details.

FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS

The basic installation of this smoke alarm is similar whether you want to install one smoke alarm, or interconnect more than one smoke alarm. If you are

interconnecting more than one smoke alarm, you MUST read “Special Requirements For Interconnected Smoke Alarms” below before you begin installation

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the

area where you will install this unit at the circuit

breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.

Failure to turn off the power before installation may

result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the base,

and attach it to the junction box.

2. Using wire nuts, connect the power

connector to the household wiring.

STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:

•

Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in the junction box.

•

Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.

•

Tuck the orange wire inside the junction box. It is used for interconnect only.

INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:

Strip off about 1/2” (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the orange wire on the power connector.

•

Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in the junction box.

•

Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.

•

Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the interconnect wire in the junction box.

Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction

box to the orange interconnect wire. Never cross hot and neutral wires between alarms.

3. Plug the power connector into the back of the smoke alarm.

4. Position the base of the smoke alarm over the mounting bracket and turn. The alarm can be positioned over

the bracket every 90°. Turn the smoke alarm clockwise (right) until the unit is in place.

5. Check all connections.

Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to the power connector will cause damage to the alarm and may lead to a non-functioning alarm.

STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:

•

If you are only installing one alarm, restore power to the junction box.

INTERCONNECTED ALARMS ONLY:

•

If you are interconnecting multiple alarms, repeat steps 1-5 for each alarm

in the series. When you are finished, restore power to the junction box.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all alarms are completely installed. Restoring

power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

6. Make sure the alarm is receiving AC power. Under normal operation, the Green power indicator light will shine continuously.

7. If the Green power indicator light does not light, TURN OFF POWER TO THE JUNCTION BOX and recheck all connections. If all connections

are correct and the Green power indicator still does not light when you restore the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.

FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS (CONTINUED)...

8. Test each alarm. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the unit alarms. When testing a series of interconnected

units you must test each unit individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.

If any unit in the series does not alarm, TURN OFF POWER and recheck connections. If it does not alarm when you restore power, replace it immediately.

Special Requirements For Interconnected Smoke Alarms

•

Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage the units and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection.

•

AC and AC/DC smoke alarms can be interconnected. Under AC power, all units will alarm when one senses smoke. When power is

interrupted, only the AC/DC units in the series will continue to send and receive signals. AC powered smoke alarms will not operate.

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone units, especially if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling.

If any unit in the series senses smoke, all units will alarm. To determine which smoke alarm initiated an alarm, see table:

On Initiating Alarms Red LED flashes rapidly

On All Other Alarms Red LED is Off

Interconnect units within a single family residence only. Otherwise all households will experience unwanted alarms when you

test any unit in the series. Interconnected units will only work if they are wired to compatible units and all requirements are met.

OPTIONAL LOCKING FEATURE

The locking features are designed to discourage unauthorized removal of the battery or alarm. It is not necessary to

activate the locks in single-family households where unauthorized battery or alarm removal is not a concern.

These smoke alarms have two separate locking features: one to lock the battery compartment, and the other to lock the

smoke alarm to the mounting bracket. You can choose to use either feature independently, or use them both.

Tools you will need:

•

Needle-nose pliers or utility knife, standard flathead screwdriver.

Both locking features use locking pins, which are molded into the mounting bracket.

Using needle-nose pliers or a utility knife, remove one or both pins from the

mounting bracket, depending on how many locking features you want to use.

To permanently remove either lock, insert a flathead screwdriver between

the locking pin and the lock, and pry the pin out of the lock.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

WEEKLY TESTING

•

NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your home.

The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit’s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).

•

If the alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately. Products under warranty may be returned

to the manufacturer for replacement. See “Limited Warranty” at the end of this manual.

DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be

harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

It is important to test this unit every week to make sure it is working properly. Using the test button is the recommended way to

test this smoke alarm. Press and hold the test button on the cover of the unit until the alarm sounds (the unit may continue to alarm for

a few seconds after you release the button). If it does not alarm, make sure the unit is receiving power and test it again. If it still does not

alarm, replace it immediately. During testing, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause.

When testing a series of interconnected units you must test each unit individually. Make sure all units alarm when each one is tested.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

This unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:

•

Test it at least once a week.

•

Clean the smoke alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the smoke alarm using your household vacuum’s

soft brush attachment. Test the smoke alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

•

If the smoke alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime, and cannot

be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.

•

Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See “Locations To Avoid For Smoke Alarms” for details.

•

When the battery back-up becomes weak, the smoke alarm will “chirp” about once a minute (the Low Battery Warning).

This warning should last 7 days, but you should replace the batteries immediately to continue your protection.

LOCATIONS TO AVOID FOR SMOKE ALARMS

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU AVOID INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS IN THESE AREAS:

•

Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated

kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water

heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6-meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller homes, for

example – it is recommended the smoke alarm be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations

are intended to keep these alarms at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted

alarms can occur if a smoke alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.

•

In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking smoke into the sensing chamber of a smoke alarm near the kitchen.

•

In very damp, humid or steamy areas, or directly near bathrooms with showers. Keep units at

least 10 feet (3 meters) away from showers, saunas, dishwashers, etc.

•

Where the temperatures are regularly below 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or above 100˚ F (37.8˚ C), including

unheated buildings, outdoor rooms, porches, or unfinished attics or basements.

•

In very dusty, dirty, or greasy areas. Do not install a smoke alarm directly over the stove or range. Keep laundry room smoke alarms free of dust or lint.

•

Near fresh air vents, ceiling fans, or in very drafty areas. Drafts can blow smoke away from the unit, preventing it from reaching the sensing chamber.

•

In insect infested areas. Insects can clog openings to the sensing chamber and cause unwanted alarms.

•

Less than 12 inches (305mm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor.

•

In “dead air” spaces. “Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the smoke alarm. To avoid dead air spaces, follow the installation recommendations below.

On ceilings, install smoke alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not possible,

install the smoke alarm at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of smoke alarms should be placed between 4

and 12 inches (102 and 305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air” spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install the first smoke alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of

the ceiling, measured horizontally. Additional smoke alarms may be required depending on the length, angle, etc.

of the ceiling’s slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE ALARM

This smoke alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch (10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed

by local codes). Read “Recommended Locations For Smoke Alarms” and “Locations to Avoid For Smoke Alarms” before you begin installation.

Tools you will need: Needle-nose pliers, standard flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver.

Make sure the alarm is not receiving excessively noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major

appliances on the same circuit, power from a generator or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit

or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessively noisy power may cause damage to your alarm.

THE PARTS OF THIS SMOKE ALARM

The Mounting Bracket: To remove the mounting bracket from the alarm base, hold

the alarm base firmly and twist the mounting bracket counterclockwise. The mounting

bracket installs onto the junction box. It has a variety of screw slots to fit most boxes.

The Power Connector: The power connector plugs into a power

input block on the alarm. It supplies the unit with AC power.

The black wire is “hot.”

The white wire is neutral.

The orange wire is used for interconnect.

If you need to remove the power connector, turn POWER OFF first. Insert a

flat screwdriver blade between the power connector and the security tab inside

the power input block. Gently pry back the tab and pull the connector free.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing First Alert

for your smoke alarm needs. You have purchased a state of the art smoke alarm designed to provide you with

early warning of a fire. Please take the time to read this manual and make the smoke alarm an integral part of your family’s safety plan.

All First Alert

smoke alarms conform to regulatory requirements, including UL217 and are designed to detect

particles of combustion. Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric technology at detecting small particles, which

tend to be produced in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread

quickly. Sources of these fires may include paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization technology at detecting large particles,

which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for hours before

bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of smoke alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.
