INSTALLER: Please leave this manual with the product.
The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at detecting fast,
flaming fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread
quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids or paper
burning in a waste container. The photoelectric type alarms are generally
more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours
before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes
burning in couches or bedding. However, both types of alarms are
designed to provide adequate detection of both types of fires. If you desire
the benefits of both systems, you should install smoke alarms that combine
in one alarm both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies.
SMOKE ALARM FEATURES
• All models powered by a 9-volt battery.
• Unique "battery missing" signal. The smoke alarm will not attach to the mount-
ing bracket if a battery is not in the battery pocket.
• Low battery signal. The smoke alarm will sound a short beep about once a
minute if the battery needs replacement.
• Optional tamper-resist feature can serve as a safeguard against tampering.
• Clear LED on Models B, C and PB flashes about once a minute. This indicates
the smoke alarm is receiving power.
• Loud alarm horn-85 decibels at 10 feet-sounds to alert you to a fire emergency.
• Test button checks smoke alarm operation. Model C also features a False Alarm
Control. When activated, this quiets unwanted alarms for up to 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
!
• This smoke alarm requires a working 9-volt battery to operate. It will not
work if the battery is removed, dead, or improperly connected. DO NOT remove
or disconnect battery to quiet false alarms. Test weekly and replace the battery
at least once a year or when the low battery signal sounds. We recommend you
install smoke alarms that operate from both battery and AC power. Having
smoke alarms that work from two different power sources can give extra pro-
tection in case of a dead battery or an AC power failure. If you have repeated
false alarms, move the smoke alarm to a different location, or install specialized
smoke alarms such as Model C with False Alarm Control or Model PB with pho-
toelectric sensor.
• This smoke alarm is designed to be used inside a single-family household.
In multi-family buildings, each individual living unit should have its own alarms.
It is not a substitute for a complete commercial alarm system. It should be used
only as supplemental protection in hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, nursing
homes, or group homes.
• This smoke alarm is not designed for buildings which require complete
fire alarm systems. Buildings of this type include hotels, motels, dormitories,
hospitals, nursing homes, and group homes. This is true even if they were once
single family homes.
