2) Install battery into compartment and make sure the “+” and “-“ends of
each battery are aligned properly.
3) After battery is installed in compartment and mounted with the bracket,
you will hear a chirp which indicates the unit is receiving battery power.
4) After battery is replaced, please press test button immediately to check if it
alarms properly.
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 detector’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 electri-
cal circuits
• Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease free.
Make sure they are properly installed and away from any combusti-
ble materials
• Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away from
combustible 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 family to use this equipment properly
MORE TIPS TO FACE A FIRE IN YOUR HOME
If you have made a family escape plan and practiced it with your family, 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.
• Don’t panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on thinking
clearly and remembering what you have practiced
• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape
route. Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed
• Feel the doors to see if they are hot. If they are not, open them care-
fully. Do not open a door if it is hot. Use an alternate escape route
• Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise
• Cover your nose and mouth with a wet or damp cloth. Take short,
shallow breaths
• Keep doors and windows closed. Open them only if you have to in
order to escape
• Meet at your planned meeting place after leaving the house
• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside your
house. Give the address and your name
• 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 and how to plan your family’s escape
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
following 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, cir-
cuit 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 detec-
tor and the wireless receiver
NOTE: To configure the detector to communicate with control panels refer to:
EVOHD, EVO192 and MGSP programming manuals.
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
intervals. 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 above).
Product Compatibility:
Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
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.
