The smoke alarm should be mounted at least 305 mm (12") from walls and obstructions, ideally centrally in the room/area. 3 Attach the unit Place the smoke alarm unit on top of the baseplate and twist it clockwise to attach it. 4 Test the alarm A Press and hold the smoke alarm test button until the alarm sounds. B The Visit receiver lights up a fire symbol in red and alerts with sound, flashes or vibra- tions (depending on the Visit receiver). Please note: The smoke alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released and the Visit receiver will time out within ~40 s. 2 Connect the battery Connect the battery to the battery snaps to power the smoke alarm unit. Only use a Duracell MN1604 alkaline 9V battery. Minimum 305mm (12") Battery connectors Base 9 Volt battery 56 Minimum 305mm (12") Location and positioning Introduction Congratulations on purchasing your smoke alarm. You can easily install multiple alarms throughout the property on escape routes, on each story, in corridors and in closed rooms to give warning of fire. The smoke alarm can be wirelessly connected to a supple- mentary Visit receiver in order to provide an additional warning. NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION REQUIRED PROTECTION Smoke detection. Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for the specified occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows: 1 In all sleeping rooms. Exception: Smoke alarms shall not be required in sleeping rooms in existing one- and two-family dwelling units. 2 Outside of each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms. 3 On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements Exception: In existing one- and two-family dwelling units, approved smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted. Are more smoke alarms desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protec- tion for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. 87 The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. The equipment should be installed using wiring methods in accordance with the Na- tional Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72, Chapter 11. (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). IMPORTANT! Specific requirements for smoke alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local fire department for current requirements in your area. SMOKE ALARM TRANSMITTER, BE1281 Sufficient smoke must enter your smoke alarm before it will respond. Your smoke alarm needs to be within 6.4 meters (21ft) of the fire to respond quickly. Your smoke alarms also need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout the property, so they can wake you and your family in time for everyone to escape. A single smoke alarm will give some protection if it is properly installed, but most homes will require two or more to ensure that a reliable early warning is given. For recommended protection you should put individual smoke alarms in all rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the kitchen and bathroom). Minimum protection level - smoke alarm on each story - in each sleeping area - every 6.4 meters (21ft) of hallways and rooms - within 3 meters (10ft) of all bedroom doors Recommended protection level (In addition to the above): - smoke alarms in every room (except kitchens and bathrooms) - heat alarms located in kitchens, garages etc. within 5.3 meters (17ft) of potential fire sources Your first smoke alarm should be located between the sleeping area and the most likely…
