Avoid These Locations, False Alarms | Universal SS-770/SS-771

AVOID THESE LOCATIONS

•the garage – products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.

•near appliances or areas where normal combustion regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, gas hot water heaters). Use smoke alarms with Silence Control for these areas.

•in areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines. Install at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from these areas.

•in areas of turbulent air such as air returns or heating and cooling supply vents, smoke alarms shall not be located where airflow prevents operation of the alarms.

•in extremely dusty, dirty or insect-infested areas. Loose particles interfere with smoke alarm operation.

•in areas where temperature may fall below 400F (4.40C) or rise above 1000F (37.80C).

•closer than 1 foot (0.3m) from fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" and flickering may affect the alarm's operation.

•closer than 3 feet (0.9m) horizontal path from the tip of the blade of a ceiling suspended (paddle) fan.

•on a poorly insulated ceiling or exterior wall (mount smoke alarm on an inside wall).

THIS SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT OPERATE WITHOUT A BATTERY INSTALLED. PROPER BATTERY MUST BE INSTALLED IMMEDIATELY WHEN LOW BATTERY SIGNAL IS GIVEN OR THE UNIT WILL FAIL. TEST WEEKLY. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS OR UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY.

FALSE ALARMS

The smoke alarm is designed to minimize false alarms. Smoking will not normally set off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into the smoke alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the smoke alarm is located close to the kitchen cooking surface. Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or broiling.

If the smoke alarm does alarm, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed above may have caused the alarm.

INSTALLATION

Your smoke alarm is designed for easy mounting on wall or ceiling. A complete mounting kit is included with the smoke alarm. First, attach the mounting bracket on the wall or ceiling with the screws provided. Second, push and turn the smoke alarm clockwise on the mounting bracket. (Note: Your smoke alarm is equipped with a safety device which prevents mounting unless a battery is installed. If your smoke alarm will not lock into the mounting bracket, check to make sure a battery is installed.)

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of, but outside of, the bedrooms) and heat or smoke alarms in living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility storage rooms, basements and attached garages. Test the smoke alarm weekly to assure proper operation.

OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the power is connected and turned on (the battery must also be installed). When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm which continues until the air is cleared.

This alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn signal for evacuation. During alarm mode, the horn produces three short beeps followed by a two second pause and then repeats.

STANDBY CONDITION: The red LED (SS-771 only) flashes once every 40-60 seconds to indicate the unit is properly functioning.

LOCAL ALARM CONDITION: The red LED (SS-771 only) flashes rapidly and the unit emits a loud, pulsating alarm sound.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the smoke alarm cover until the alarm sounds, then release. The alarm sounds if all electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. The alarm may continue to sound for up to 10 seconds after the button is released. If no alarm sounds, the unit may have a defective battery or other failure. Test the smoke alarm weekly to assure proper operation.
