SD360EN-EI00 01/2016
• 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 reach-
ing a detector. See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting loca-
tions
• In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector’s sensing chamber,
they may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid
of them before putting up a detector
• Near fluorescent lights, electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may
cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 5 feet (1.5
meters) from such lights
WARNING: Never remove battery from a DC-power operated detector to stop a
nuisance alarm. Open a window or fan the air around the detector to get rid of
the smoke. The detector will turn itself off when the smoke is gone. If nuisance
alarms persist, attempt to clean the detector as described in this Installation
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.
Installing Your Smoke Detector
The SD360 smoke detector is made to be mounted on the ceiling or on the
wall if necessary. Since this smoke detector is a single-station type, it cannot
be linked to other detectors.
WARNING: Do not connect the SD360 smoke detector to any other detector or
auxiliary device. Connecting anything else to this detector will keep it from
working properly.
Read “
LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS” and “LOCATIONS NOT TO
INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS
” section in this Manual first, then decide where
to install your smoke detector.
Please follow these steps to install your smoke detector:
1) At the place where you are going to install the detector, draw a horizontal
line six inches long.
2) Remove the mounting bracket from your unit by rotating it
counterclockwise.
3) Place the bracket so that the two longest hold slots are aligned on the line.
In each of keyhole slots, drawing a mark to locate a mounting. plug and
screw.
4) Remove the bracket.
5) Using a 3/16-inch(5mm) drill bit, drills two holes at the marks and insert
plastic wall plugs. Put the detector away from plastic dust on it when you
drill holds for mounting.
6) Using the two screws and plastic wall plugs (all supplied), attach the
bracket to the wall.
7) Line up the slot of the bracket and the detector. Push the detector onto
the mounting bracket on turn it clockwise to fix it into the place. Pull
onward on the smoke detector to make sure it is securely attached to the
mounting bracket.
CAUTION: This smoke detector comes with cover latches that will prevent the
smoke detector cover from closing if battery is not installed. This tells you that
the detector will not work until a new battery is properly installed.
NOTE: The detector horn will beep once after the detector is installed with
battery and mounted with bracket 2~4 seconds. This means the smoke
detector is working normally and also indicates that the battery is positioned
properly. Close cover, and then press the test button, holding it down for
about 3 seconds until the horn sounds. The horn should sound a loud,
pulsating alarm. This means the unit is working properly.
Standby Mode
The red LED, as the ALARM indicator, is featured with the smoke detector. It
can be seen through the clear test button on the cover of the unit. When a red
LED flashes once every 334 seconds, it indicates the smoke detector is under
normal operation. When the smoke detector senses smoke and
simultaneously sounds an audible alarm with 3 beeps, pause and 3 beeps.
The red LED will flash continuously and rapidly.
Silence Feature
The silence feature can temporarily quiet an alarm for up to 10 minutes. To
use this feature, press test/silence button on the cover when it alarms.
However, if the smoke concentration around the smoke detector unit is still at
alarming level after 10 minutes of silence, the unit will re-alarm immediately.
LOW BATTERY WARNING SIGNAL
If the detector horn begins to chirp once in 43 seconds with yellow LED
flashing, it indicates that the smoke detector’s battery is weak. Replace with
new battery immediately. Keep fresh batteries on hand for this purpose.
The Low Battery warning signal should last for up to 30 days, but you should
replace the battery immediately to secure your protection.
Also upon initial low battery condition, the detector will send a low battery
indicator to the receiver after 5 minutes. The smoke detector will continue to
transmit a low battery signal every 12 hours until the battery is replaced.
Warning: Use only the types of battery stated in this manual’s
Specifications. Do not use any other kind of battery. This smoke detector may
not operate properly with other types of battery. For battery installation see
below.
TAMPER SWITCH FEATURE:
If the smoke detector’s tamper remains open (not mounted into the bracket)
within two and a half minutes after the battery is installed, three sequential
chirps will sound at regular continuous intervals and the Yellow LED will turn
on (steady) until smoke detector is mounted into the bracket properly.
MALFUNCTION (ERROR) SIGNAL:
If you hear 3 “beep” with yellow LED flashing 3 times in 43 seconds, it
indicates that the smoke detector does not work properly, please have it
repaired or serviced.
TESTING YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR
If you suspect that your smoke detector does not go into alarm, test it as
described below. When the Test button is pressed, the smoke detector sends
an alarm signal to the wireless receiver.
Notes
• If the smoke detector zone is defined as an Instant 24hr Fire Zone,
the alarm signal is immediately sent to the Central Monitoring Sta-
tion; contact the Central Monitoring Station to advise them of the
test and to avoid a false alarm.
• If the smoke detector zone is defined as a Delayed 24hr Fire Zone,
the alarm signal is not sent to the Central Monitoring Station.
To test the detector:
Test the detector weekly by pushing firmly on the test
button for around 4 seconds until the horn sounds, the sound pattern is 3
beeps, pause, and then 3 beeps with red LED flashing continuously and
rapidly. If the smoke detector beeps three beeps with yellow LED flashing
three times in 43 seconds, it indicates the smoke detector is not working
properly, it requires to be repaired or serviced.
WARNING: This is the only way to test the smoke detector! If the test fails, repair or
replace the detector immediately. If you suspect that your smoke detector does
not go into alarm, test it by pressing the test button with your finger to ensure if it
works properly.
To cease the alarm:
• If the zone is defined as Delayed Fire Zone, the alarm will stop auto-
matically.
• If the zone is defined as an Instant Fire Zone, enter a valid code #
(PIN).
WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your detector. You may set
fire to damage the detector, as well as your home. The built-in test switch
accurately tests all functions. This is the only correct way to test the unit.
WARNING: When you are not testing the unit and the detector’s alarm horn
sounds this means the smoke detector has sensed smoke or combustion particles
in the air. Be sure that the detector alarm horn is a warning of a possible serious
situation, which requires your immediate attention.
• The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation. Cooking smoke or
a dusty furnace, sometimes called “friendly fires” can cause the alarm
to sound. If this happens, open a window or fan the air to remove the
smoke or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the air is completely
clear.
