When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm. Twenty seconds after the local alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to the Control Panel. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is still present. The 2GIG-SMKE1-345 detector can send four different signals: alarm, test, low battery, and status. The Control Panel must be programmed to the detectors serial number before system testing and operation. Refer to the Control Panels instructions for details on programming. The detector is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. The battery is supplied with the detector and can power the unit for up to ve years. If the battery voltage drops below a preset level the alarm will sound low battery beeps and a low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel. Every hour, the detector will send a status transmission to the Control Panel. The hourly signal updates the Control Panel with the detectors condition. By monitoring status transmissions, the Control Panel can determine that the detector is still present in the installation and if it has a low battery. Maintenance: Occasionally clean the outside casing with a cloth. Ensure that the holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust. Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach, or polish on the detector.

The green LED will be off. Pressing the test switch will silence the chirp for 12 hours but will not affect the LEDs. During this silence period, the test switch is disabled. If an alarm condition occurs while the detector is in this chirp silence mode, the alarm will sound. Once the alarm condition has been removed and the detector returns to the standby state, the low battery chirp will resume every 45 seconds. STANDARD FOR ALARM LOCATION The smoke alarm should be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72, which reads as follows:
2-1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and un nished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm shall be installed in each sleeping room. 2-1.1.2 For family living units with one or more split levels (i.e., adjacent levels with less than one full story separation between levels), a smoke alarm required by 2-1.1.1 shall suf ce for an adjacent lower level, including basements. (Exception: Where there is an intervening door between one level and the adjacent lower level, a smoke alarm shall be installed on the lower level.) FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE IN CASE OF FIRE. Leave immediately. Dont stop to pack or search for valuables. In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low - crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually at the oor. If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem relatively cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented re tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all the household realizes and understands this danger. Use your neighbors phone or a street re alarm box. The job of extinguishing the re should be left to the professionals. Too many unforeseen things can occur when inexperienced people try to extinguish a re. FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. TO TEST AN ACTUAL FIRE ALARM RESPONSE OF THE SYSTEM, TEST SWITCH MUST BE HELD FOR 20 SECONDS VERIFY THAT CONTROL PANEL ACTIVATES DETECTOR LED INDICATORS At Power up = Green/Red blinks every 5 seconds Standby = Green blinks every 10 seconds Alarm = Red blinks every 1 second Maintenance = Red blinks every 5 seconds Low Battery = Red blinks every 45 seconds The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of re in its early stages, and sound an alarm giving the occupants more time to exit the premise before the smoke reaches a dangerous concentration level. Fires start even with the best of housekeeping and re prevention procedures. Fire is an unexpected event. Early warning detection alerts occupants in time to act. KNOW FIRE HAZARDS. No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid such potentially dangerous situations as: smoking in bed, leaving children home alone, cleaning with ammable liquids such as gasoline. The best re protection is minimizing re hazards through proper storage of materials and general good housekeeping techniques. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to re. Careless use of combustible materials and electrical appliances, or overloading of electrical outlets are other prime causes in starting res. It is most important that explosive and/or fast burning materials be eliminated from the home, if at all possible. Even after proper precautions have been taken, res can start. Be prepared. EXAMPLE ALARM LOCATIONS Ceiling mounted smoke alarms should be located in the center of the room or hall, or not less than 4 inches from any wall. When the alarm is mounted on a wall, the top of the alarm should be 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling. Do not install smoke alarms where normal ambient temperatures are above 100F (37.8C), or below 40F (4C). Also, do not locate alarm in front of air conditioners, heating registers, or other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke from entering the detector. A-2.5.2.1 Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection 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. 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 ( nished or un nished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for the purpose. BE PREPARED. Perform re drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. For your protection, simulate different circumstances (smoke in hall, in living room, etc.). Then have everyone react to the situation. Draw a oor plan and show two exits from each room. Frequently a knotted rope or ladder from a window will serve this purpose. It is important that children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis. It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established. You should insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone re-entering the house for a missing member who is actually safe. If you have children and/or invalids residing in your household, you can help your re department. Most re departments have window decals available for use in childrens or invalids bedrooms. Properly used, these decals will quickly identify sleeping quarters of these individuals and show the re department where to look rst for members of your household.

Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and ll an important need in portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed. For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range. A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings. Changes or modi cations to the device may void FCC compliance. Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault. A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
