•In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.

•In insect-infested areas.

•Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom con- taining a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.

•Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type.

•Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.

•Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSWIRING REQUIREMENTS

•This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. listed or recog- nized junction box. All connections should be made by a quali- fied electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdic- tion in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. In addition, the resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.

•The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase sup- plied from a non-switchable circuit which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter.

•WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources pro- duce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.
