Why does my x-sense Smoke Alarm keep going off for no reason?
Your x-sense Smoke Alarm may be experiencing false alarms due to improper installation. Avoid installing the alarm near cooking appliances, dusty areas, showers, or any area where the temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C) or rises above 100°F (37.8°C).
What to do if my x-sense XP06 Smoke Alarm flashes yellow and beeps once?
If your x-sense Smoke Alarm's LED indicator flashes yellow once every 60 seconds with a single beep, it indicates a low battery. Replace the battery immediately. If you cannot replace it right away, you can press the Test/Silence button to silence the alarm for 10 hours.
Why is my x-sense XP06 Smoke Alarm flashing yellow twice?
When the LED indicator on your x-sense Smoke Alarm flashes yellow twice every 60 seconds with two beeps, it signals a malfunction. Try cleaning your alarm. If the issue continues, replace the device.
What does it mean when x-sense Smoke Alarm flashes yellow three times?
If the LED indicator on your x-sense Smoke Alarm flashes yellow three times every 60 seconds accompanied by three beeps, this indicates an end-of-life signal. Replace the battery immediately. If an immediate replacement isn't possible, you may press the Test/Silence button to silence the alarm for 22 hours.
During power outages, the backup battery will activate to ensure continuous power supply. Battery is replaceable.
The power connector plugs into the device's power receptacle and supplies AC power. Black is 'hot', white is 'neutral', red is for interconnection.
In accordance with NFPA recommendations, it is recommended to install an X-Sense smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installation to avoid electrical shock, injury, or death.
Turn on power after installation. LED indicator lights up green, indicating proper function.
Test the device when first turned on or after configuration changes. Tests circuits, not sensors.
Locate fire source, exit immediately. Stay calm, follow escape plan, check doors, cover mouth, call Fire Dept.
Call emergency services, move outside for fresh air. If alarm repeats, call technician to investigate CO sources.

This document describes the X-Sense Hardwired Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup, models XP04, XP05, and XP06. This device is designed for residential use to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) in a single unit. It features a photoelectric sensor for detecting large particles from smoldering fires and an electrochemical sensor for dangerous levels of CO. The alarm is powered by the home's electrical system and includes a 9V alkaline battery for backup during power outages. It complies with UL 217 and UL 2034 standards and should be installed by a qualified technician according to National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72, and local jurisdiction codes.
The device can operate as a standalone unit or be interconnected with other X-Sense AC and AC/DC alarms. In an interconnected system, all devices will alarm if any single device detects smoke or CO when under AC power. If AC power fails, only the AC/DC devices will continue to send and receive signals within the interconnected network. AC hardwired interconnection is specifically compatible with X-Sense XP04, XP05, XP06, XP04-S, XP05-S, and XP06-S devices.
The package includes:
The unit features an LED Indicator (Red/Green/Yellow) that flashes to show device status, including powering on, standby mode, smoke alarm, CO alarm, alarm exit, device test, silence function, low battery, malfunction, and end-of-life signal. A Test/Silence Button allows users to check the alarm's functionality and temporarily silence an alarm. The Buzzer beeps in sync with the LED indicator to signal various statuses. The Battery Backup ensures continuous power during outages, and the replaceable 9V battery activates for this purpose. The Power Connector plugs into the device's receptacle, supplying AC power, with black for "hot," white for "neutral," and red for interconnection. The Mounting Bracket is used for installation and can be twisted counterclockwise for removal.
Installation should be performed by a professional technician, adhering to articles 210 and 300.3 (B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72, and other applicable codes. The alarm should be installed on a standard 4-inch (10-cm) wiring junction box or on any ceiling/wall permitted by local codes. The power source must be 120 V AC Single Phase from a non-switchable circuit, not protected by a ground fault interrupter. For standalone operation, the insulating cap on the red line should remain. For interconnected systems, all devices must be powered by a single circuit. Up to 24 devices (including 18 alarms and 6 range extenders, with a maximum of 12 smoke alarms) can be added to a single circuit, with a maximum wiring distance of 1000 feet (305 m) between the first and last device. Interconnection is limited to single-family residences.
Before installation, power to the area must be turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box to prevent electrical shock. The installation process involves:
The device uses colored LED indicators and beeping patterns to communicate its status.
If an alarm is triggered, all interconnected alarms sound simultaneously. Smoke alarms take priority if both smoke and CO are detected.
This function temporarily silences alarms but does not resolve underlying issues. Removing the battery or disconnecting power disables protection.
The alarm sounds when CO concentrations are detected within specific time periods:
The device requires minimal maintenance.
Waste electrical products should be recycled. Check with local authorities or retailers for recycling advice.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If interference occurs, reorient/relocate the receiving antenna, increase separation between device/receiver, connect to a different circuit, or consult a dealer/technician. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) device must accept any interference received. Changes not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void user's authority to operate the equipment.
