Additional Smoke Alarm Placement Information cont.

Install a smoke alarm as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not practical, mount no closer than 4 inches from a wall or corner. Also, if local codes allow wall mounting, install smoke alarms on walls between 4 and 12 inches from ceiling/wall intersections.

Install a smoke alarm in each room that is divided by a partial wall (either coming down from the ceiling at least 24 inches, or coming up from the floor).

Install smoke alarms on peaked, cathedral, or gabled ceilings, at or within 3 feet from the highest point (measured horizontally).

Install a smoke alarm in lived-in attics or attics which house electrical equipment like furnaces, air condi- tioners, or heaters.

DO NOT Install Smoke Alarms:

In areas where combustion particles are present. (Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning.) Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, near furnaces, or near hot water heaters. Place smoke alarm as far from the source of combustion particles as possible to prevent nuisance alarms.

In damp or very humid areas such as bathrooms with showers where normal humidity may rise above 93% relative humidity. Areas above this humidity level can cause a false alarm.

In direct air flow nor within 3 feet of heating and cooling supply vents. Install at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from these areas. The air could blow smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.

In rooms where temperatures may fall below 40°F (4°C) or rise above 100°F (38°C).

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

How to Install Your Smoke Alarm

!WARNING

This smoke alarm is shipped with the battery disconnected. You MUST properly connect the battery before mounting the smoke alarm to the wall or ceiling. The smoke alarm will not operate without the battery first being properly connected.

Read SMOKE ALARM PLACEMENT information on pages 3-4. After you have selected the locations for the installation of smoke alarms:

1.Unlock and remove mounting plate by turning it counter-clockwise. (For tamper-resist option, twist out and set aside the locking pin molded into the plastic mounting bracket. For Model CEC and CCPB the

locking pin is molded into the plastic base.)

2.Place mounting bracket against ceiling or wall where you wish to mount the smoke alarm. Use a pen- cil to trace the inside of the two mounting hole locations.

3.Drill two holes, using a 3/16 in. (5 mm) drill bit in the centers of the hole locations and insert anchors into holes.

4.Use mounting screws to secure mounting bracket to ceiling or wall.

5.Lift open battery pocket door (Models CB, CC and CPBC only).

6.Connect new 9-volt battery to battery connector inside battery pocket. BE SURE BATTERY IS SECURELY CONNECTED. Smoke alarm may beep briefly when battery is installed. Firmly depress the test button for five (5) seconds [ten (10) seconds for Model CCPB]. The smoke alarm should sound its alarm horn, indicating the battery is connected properly. Units with the Alarm Control (Quick-Quiet™) feature will activate the Alarm Control (Quick-Quiet™) mode for a maximum of 15 min- utes after testing.

7.Insert battery into battery pocket.

8.Close battery pocket door, snapping it into place (Models CB, CC and CPBC only). (For tamper resist, use long-nosed pliers to remove thin plastic from notch on smoke alarm edge.)

Remove thin plastic from notch

9.For model CEC install two AA batteries to power the light. Insert the batteries end-to-end into the battery pocket, observing polarity.

10.Position smoke alarm to mounting bracket and turn clockwise. The smoke alarm will lock into place. (To engage tamper-resist feature, insert pin into notch on edge of smoke alarm and mounting plate.)

NOTE: Smoke alarm will not mount to bracket if battery is not installed. 11. Test smoke alarm. See TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM.

!WARNING

DO NOT connect this smoke alarm to any other detector or electrical device. Doing so will cause the smoke alarm to operate improperly or fail to operate.

Testing Your Smoke Alarm

If alarm horn sounds, and smoke alarm is not being tested, the smoke alarm is sensing smoke. THE SOUND OF THE ALARM HORN REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.

Test each smoke alarm weekly to be sure it is installed correctly and operating properly.

Test smoke alarms upon returning from vacation. Also test when no one has been in the household for several days.

Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm when testing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency. The alarm horn may be harmful to your hearing.

110-1011E specifications

The Firex 110-1011E is a highly regarded smoke alarm that emphasizes safety and reliability in residential settings. As a vital component of any home safety system, this device integrates advanced technologies to enhance its performance and user-friendliness.

One of the standout features of the Firex 110-1011E is its use of an ionization sensing technology. This technology is particularly effective at detecting fast-flaming fires, making it an essential tool for early smoke detection. The ionization sensor works by employing a small amount of radioactive material, which helps in creating a current between two electrodes. When smoke enters the sensing chamber, it disrupts this current, triggering the alarm, thus providing timely warnings when it matters most.

In addition to its superior sensor technology, the Firex 110-1011E boasts a unique battery backup feature. This ensures that the alarm remains operational even during power outages, a crucial aspect during emergencies when electricity might be compromised. The device is powered by a 9-volt battery, which is easy to replace and maintain.

Another key characteristic of the Firex 110-1011E is its user-friendly design. The alarm features a simple test button that allows homeowners to check the functionality of the unit regularly. This promotes proactive maintenance, ensuring that the device operates efficiently when needed. Furthermore, the alarm comes equipped with a loud 85-decibel alarm that is designed to be heard easily throughout the home, providing an effective warning to occupants.

The Firex 110-1011E is also designed with the homeowner’s peace of mind in mind. It includes a low battery warning feature, which signals when the battery needs replacement, reducing the risk of the alarm being non-operative due to a dead battery. Its compact design ensures it can be easily installed in various locations within a home, from hallways to bedrooms.

In summary, the Firex 110-1011E smoke alarm is a high-performance device that combines advanced ionization sensing technology with practical features like battery backup and user-friendly operation. Its reliable design makes it an invaluable addition to any household’s safety measures, ensuring protection against the dangers of fire.
