This document describes a photoelectric smoke alarm designed for residential use. It operates on 220-240V~ AC power with a 9V DC battery backup and features a built-in DC3V (CR123A) Lithium battery in its base. The photoelectric technology makes it particularly effective at detecting slow-smoldering fires that produce thick, black smoke and low heat, which can smolder for hours before igniting into flames. The device does not contain radioactive material, making it environmentally friendly.
The primary function of this smoke alarm is to detect smoke or combustion particles in the air and provide an audible warning of a developing fire. It does not sense heat, flame, or gas. The alarm is designed to alert household members to potential danger, with an alarm volume exceeding 85dB(A) at 3 meters.
For optimal protection, smoke alarms should be installed in every room (excluding bathrooms) and on every level of the home to ensure that the alarm sound is audible to all occupants. In single-story dwellings, it is recommended to install a smoke alarm on the ceiling inside each bedroom and in the hallway outside each separate sleeping area. If a hallway is longer than 30 feet, an alarm should be placed at each end. For basements, an alarm should be installed on the basement ceiling at the bottom of the stairwell. In multi-story dwellings, alarms should be placed on the ceiling inside each bedroom, in the hallway outside each separate sleeping area, at each end of hallways longer than 30 feet, and at the top of first-to-second floor stairwells.
The device features a "Hush mode" or alarm silence function, activated by pressing the test button for at least 5 seconds. This mode temporarily disables smoke detection for approximately 8 minutes to minimize false alarms, such as those caused by cooking. The alarm will automatically reset after 8 minutes and will sound again if combustible particles are still present. This mode can be repeated until the air is clear. It is crucial to identify the smoke source and confirm a safe condition before using the hush mode. If the alarm sounds and is not being tested, it indicates the presence of smoke, requiring immediate attention and action.
The smoke alarm also supports wireless interconnection, allowing up to 40 detectors to communicate with each other. This means that if one interconnected alarm detects smoke, all other interconnected alarms will sound, providing comprehensive coverage throughout the home. The wireless connection operates on a frequency of 433.42MHz and has a range of over 100 meters in free field or 30 meters indoors. Wireless bases use coded RF signals and must be paired before use.
The smoke alarm is designed for ease of use and installation, though AC power wiring should only be performed by a licensed electrician.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the smoke alarm functions correctly.
