WHERE NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS
False alarms will sound if smoke detectors are installed where they will not work properly. To avoid false
alarms, do not install smoke detectors in the following situations: combustion particles are the by-products
of something that is burning. Thus, in or near areas where combustion particles are present you do not
install the smoke detectors to avoid false alarms, as in kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation,
garages where there may be vehicle exhaust fumes, near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space heaters.
Do not install smoke detectors less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from places where combustion particles
are normally present, like in kitchens. If a 20-foot distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to
install the detector as far away from the combustion particles as possible. To prevent false alarm alarms,
provide good ventilation in such places. In damp or very humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers.
Moisture in humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then turn into droplets upon cooling, which can
cause false alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms. In very cold
or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outbuildings. If the temperature goes above or below
the operating range of the smoke detector, it will not work properly. The temperature range for your smoke
detector is 40oF to 100oF (4oC to 38oC). In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the
detector's sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive.
Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings of the sensing chamber and keep the detector from sensing
smoke. Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or fans, fresh air vents and
drafts can drive smoke away from smoke detectors. Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof,
or in the corners between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a detector. In
insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector's sensing chamber, they may cause a false alarm. Where
bugs are a problem, get rid of them before installing a detector. Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise"
from fluorescent lights may cause false alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from
such lights.
WARNING: Never remove batteries to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window or fan the air around the
detector to get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn off when the smoke is gone. If false alarms persist,
clean the detector as described in this User Manual.
WARNING: Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. The alarm is loud in order
to wake you in an emergency. Too much exposure to the horn at close range may be harmful to your
hearing.

1. Definition
1.1 The master alarm: the unit that detects smoke and alarms. Its
LED flashes every 0.5 sec;
1.2 The slave alarm: the unit that receives the signal from the
alarm unit and alarms, its LED flashes every 35 sec;
1.3 There is no clear limitation between master alarm and slave
alarm. An alarm can be a master or a slave.
