It is an important component of your home security system. Please read this booklet thoroughly. The more familiar you are with the information it contains, the easier you will find it to install, operate, and maintain your smoke alarm properly, which ultimately means greater security and peace of mind for you and your family. Invensys Controls Americas The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at detecting fast, flaming fires which consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids or paper burning in a waste container. The photoelectric type alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. However, both types of alarms are designed to provide adequate detection of both types of fires. If you desire the benefits of both systems, you should install smoke alarms that combine in one alarm both photoelectric and ionization sensing technologies.

The smoke alarm will not attach to the mounting bracket if a battery is not in the battery pocket. • Low battery signal. The smoke alarm will sound a short beep about once a minute if the battery needs replacement. • Optional tamper-resist feature can serve as a safeguard against tampering. • Visual LED flashes about once a minute. This indicates the smoke alarm is receiving power. • Loud alarm horn—85 decibels at 10 feet—sounds to alert you of an emergency. • Test button checks smoke alarm operation. Model CC, CEC, CCPB and CPBC features Alarm Control (Quick-Quiet™). When activated, this quiets unwanted alarms for a maximum of 15 minutes. • Model CEC features the Safety Light. This is a small light which will turn on when the smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, illuminating emergency exits. Proper Placement of Your Smoke Alarm Invensys Controls Americas recommends complete coverage protection achieved by installing a smoke alarm in every room of your home. THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). The NFPA standard identifies the minimum requirement for locating smoke alarms in family living units. It states: ”2-2.1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping room.” Further, section 2-2.2.1 states that: “In new construction, where more than one smoke alarm is required by 2-2.1, they shall be so arranged that operation of any smoke alarm shall cause the alarm in all smoke alarms within the dwelling to sound.” The NFPA, 1993 Edition, Appendix A, however, clearly points out that: “The required number of smoke alarms (as defined in the paragraphs above) may not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include: basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms.” Further, the California State Fire Marshal states that the minimum number of required smoke alarms is not enough to give the earliest warning under all conditions. The California State Fire Marshal states that: “Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside the bedrooms), and heat or smoke alarms in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.” It is clear that the earliest warning of a developing fire is best achieved by the installation of smoke...
