TAKING CARE OF YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
Your smoke detector is designed to be maintenance-free as possible. To keep
your smoke detector in good working condition, you must test the unit
weekly, as
referring to section “TESTING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR”
.
Regular Maintenance:
• Open the cover and vacuum the dust off the alarm’s sensing chamber at least
once a month.
Remove battery before cleaning. To clean the smoke detector, use soft brush
attachment to your vacuum. Carefully remove any dust on the smoke detector
components, especially on the openings of the sensing chamber. Replace battery
after cleaning. Test the smoke detector to make sure battery is working correctly.
Never use water, cleaners as they may damage the unit.
NOTE: If nuisance alarms keep coming from the unit, you should
check whether the smoke detector unit’s location is adequate. Refer to
section “WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE DETECTORS ” Move your smoke
detector if it is not located properly. Clean the unit as described above.
TIPS TO ENHANCE YOUR PROTECTION FROM FIRES
Putting up smoke detectors is only one step in protecting your family from
fires. You must also reduce the chances that fires will start in your home.
And you must increase your chances of escaping safely if one does start.
To have a good fire safety program you must apply the following tips to
enhance your family’s protection from fires:
1. Install smoke detectors properly. Carefully follow all the instructions in this
manual. Keep your smoke detectors clean, and test them every week.
2. Remember that smoke detector that do not work will not alert you. Replace
your smoke detectors immediately if they are not working properly.
3. Follow fire safety rules, and prevents hazardous situations:
• Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.
• Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
• Store flammable materials in proper containers. Never use them near
open flame or sparks.
• Keep electrical appliances in good condition. Do not overload
electrical circuits.
• Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease free.
• Make sure they are properly installed and away from any combustible
materials.
• Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from combusti-
ble materials.
• Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
• Keep a supply of extra batteries on hand for your battery powered smoke
detectors.
4. Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire family. Be sure
to include small children in your practice.
• Draw a floor plan of your home, and find two ways to exit from each room.
There should be one way to get out of each bedroom without opening the
door.
• Explain to children what the smoke detector signal means. Teach them that
they must be prepared to leave the home by themselves if necessary. Show
them how to check to see if doors are hot before opening them. Show them
how to stay close to the floor and crawl if necessary. Show them how to use
the alternate exit if the door is hot and should not be opened.
• Decide on a meeting place which has a safe distance from your house. Make
sure that all your children understand that they should go and wait for you
there if there is a fire.
• Hold fire drills at least every 6 months to make sure that everyone, even small
children, knows what to do to escape safely.
• Know where to go to call the Fire Department from outside your home.
• Provide emergency equipment, such as fire extinguishers, and teach your fam-
ily to use this equipment properly.
MORE TIPS TO FACE A FIRE IN YOUR HOME

you have increased their chances of escaping safely. Go over the
following rules with your children each time you have fire drills. This will help
everyone remember them in case of a real fire emergency.
1. Don’t panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking clearly
and remembering what you have practiced.
2. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape route.
Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed.

Do not open a door if it is hot. Use an alternate escape route.
4. Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise.
5. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet or damp cloth. Take short, shallow
breaths.
6. Keep doors and windows closed. Open them only if you have to in order to
escape.

the address and your name.
9. Never go back inside a burning building. Contact your local Fire Department.
They will give you more ideas about how to make your home safer from fires

WIRELESS TRANSMITTER INFORMATION
Wireless Installation Location
The location of the wireless smoke detector affects the overall performance of the
wireless system. In order to ensure the best possible signal reception, the follow-
ing criteria should be respected whenever possible:
• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reflect and absorb radio
frequency (RF) signals, as well as interference that may distort signals. Avoid
installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers),
and on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners, and
heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce the module’s
sensitivity.
• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature changes.
• Respect the maximum allowable distance between the smoke detector and
the wireless receiver.
NOTE: For procedure to set up the detector to communicate with the panels, refer
to EVO192 Manual: EVO192-EI04; SP6000 Manual: MGSP-EI12.
Smoke Detector Zone Assignment
To assign the smoke detector to a wireless receiver, press the smoke detector’s
Test button.
Check-In Supervision
The SD360 transmits a check-in supervision signal to the receiver at regular inter-
vals. This value is pre-determined and cannot be programmed.
Alarm Transmission
Upon detection of an alarm condition (smoke) the detector will transmit an alarm
signal every 30 seconds to the wireless receiver until the condition stops. Once
the alarm condition has stopped, the detector will wait 5 seconds then transmit a
restore signal to the wireless receiver. The restore signal is transmitted only once
to the receiver after an alarm condition has stopped.
Replacing the Battery
After replacing the battery, test the detector to ensure proper functioning (refer
to Testing the Smoke Detector).
Product Compatibility:
Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination
has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
NOTE: ETL:/cETL note: SD360 is approved to operate only with:
• EVO192 listed panel using RTX3 receiver.
• SP6000 listed panel using RTX3 receiver.
WARNING: This device is not intended as life-saving device and should not be
connected with any life-saving device or fire system. This device is only
intended to be used in residences.
