Smoke Alarm Procedure

NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALAR !

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette

smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is

blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking

may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cooking area.

Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or

when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the

outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these

combustion particles from the kitchen.

f the alarm sounds, check for fires first. f a fire is discovered,

follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar with these steps

and review with all family members:

• Alert small children in the home.

• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so

don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.

• n leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its

surface. f hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t

open that door! nstead, use your alternate exit. f the inside of

the door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly

and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.

• f the air is smoky, stay close to the floor. Breathe shallowly

through a cloth, wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure

everyone is there.

• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home – not from yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all

right to do so.

This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization

technique. t contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive

material (see section 9). Distributed under U.S. NRC License No.

32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compliance with U.S. NRC safety

criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is exempt from any regulatory

requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm yourself. Refer to the

instructions in section 11 for service.

Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible fires

at a reasonable cost; however, alarms have sensing limitations. onization

sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast

flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing

alarms may detect visible fire particles (associated with slow smoldering

fires) sooner than ionization alarms. Home fires develop in different ways

and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection, Kidde

recommends that both onization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.

LOSS OF POWER (AC AND BATTERY BACKUP) TO THE ALAR

WILL RENDER THIS ALAR INOPERATIVE.

ELECTRICAL RATING: 120 VAC, 60HZ, 30mA maximum per alarm

(maximum 30mA for originating unit with 24 devices interconnected. The

interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of

12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, carbon monoxide,

or similar alarms).

Product Specifications

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to

monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the

exit. f more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in

each sleeping area (See mage 1A and 1B).

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like

chimneys for smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.

• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are

operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door

closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that

room from waking the sleeper.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread

horizontally. Mounting the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of

the room places it closest to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting

is preferred in ordinary residential construction.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 10

cm (4”) from the side wall (see mage 2A).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top

edge of the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4”) and a maximum of

30.5 cm (12”) below the ceiling (see mage 2A).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if

the hallway or room is more than 9.1 m (30 ft) long.

1. Recommended Locations for Smoke Alarms

• n homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can be

transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated

walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier which can prevent

the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. f you are

not sure about the insulation in your home, or if you notice that the

outer walls and ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an

inside wall. n such homes, install the smoke alarm with the top edge

of the alarm at a minimum of 10 cm (4”) and a maximum of 30.5 cm

(12”) below the ceiling (see mage 2A).

• nstall Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or

within 0.9 m (3ft) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA

72 states: “Smoke alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than

0.3m in 2.4 m (1 ft in 8 ft) horizontally shall be located on the high

side of the room.” NFPA 72 states: “A row of detectors shall be

spaced and located within 0.9m (3 ft) of the peak of the ceiling

measured horizontally” (see mage 2B and 2C).

2. Locations To Avoid

3. Installation Instructions

• n the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start

your automobile.

• Less than 10cm (4”) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.

• n an area where the temperature may fall below 4.4°C (40°F) or rise

above 37.8°C, such as garages and unfinished attics; this should also

include electrical boxes exposed to these environments.

• n dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to

alarm.

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

• n insect-infested areas.

• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 0.9m (3 ft) of the

following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing 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. f 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.

WIRING REQUIRE ENTS

• This smoke alarm should be installed on a CSA listed or recognized

junction box. The mounting bracket is equipped to accommodate a

3.5 inch hole spacing on a round electrical box and a double-gang

rectangular electrical enclosure. All connections should be made by a

qualified electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with

articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code

ANS /NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdiction in

your area. This unit consumes four cubic inches of interior space of

the junction box volume. This figure should be used when calculating

junction box volume.

• The multiple station interconnect wiring to the alarms must be run in

the same raceway or cable as the AC power wiring. n addition, the

resistance of the interconnect wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
