Welcome to your ADT Smoke Alarm
1 1. Setup Take the ADT Smoke Alarm to where you intend to mount it after setup. • • Setup 3. Remove the tab on the smoke alarm marked “Pull This Tab”. The red LED will blink once followed by a single blink of the yellow LED. Make sure you are within 350 feet from the ADT Security Hub. (Exact range depends on your home’s construction, environment, position of the ADT Security Hub, and the position and number of other connected devices.
2 Setup 4. Use the SmartThings app to scan the QR code on the back of the alarm and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup. Smoke Alarm (Back) QR Code 5. Remove the QR code from the back of the alarm and attach it to this guide for future reference. Placement Install the ADT Smoke Alarm in a place where the alarm can be heard easily. Ideally, per the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA Standard 72), a smoke alarm should be installed: • In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.
Placement • On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. • In the living area(s) of a guest suite. • In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility).* THIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72.
Placement Important: Specific requirements for smoke alarm installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. Sufficient smoke must enter your smoke alarm before it will respond. Your smoke alarm needs to be within 21 feet of the fire to respond quickly. Smoke alarms also need to be in positions where they can be heard throughout the property, so they can wake you and your family in time for everyone to escape.
Placement Placement Multiple-Story Dwellings: If your home has more than one floor, at least one smoke alarm should be fitted on each level. Suggested locations shown below: Hallway Attic Bedroom Kitchen Basement Master Bedroom Family Room Garage Recommended Protection: Fire authorities recommend you put individual smoke alarm in or near all rooms where fire is most likely to break out (apart from the locations to avoid e.g. bathrooms).
Placement Placement For Ceiling Mounting: For Wall Mounting: Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended location. The air is “dead” and does not move in corners, therefore smoke alarms must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 12 inches from walls and corners. Additionally, mount the unit at least 12 inches from any light fitting or decorative object which might prevent smoke entering the smoke alarm. Do not attach the detector to removable ceiling panels.
3 Placement On a sloping or peaked ceiling, install a smoke alarm within 24 inches of the peak (measured vertically). If this height is less than 24 inches the ceiling is regarded as being flat. Smoke Alarms should face out in this position: 1. Mounting Install the mounting base using the two screws and anchors provided.

Mounting WARNING: please read carefully and thoroughly. • • NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or too young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible.
Mounting • • • Mounting The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home. • Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition. • Practice using different ways out. • Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
Mounting • Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole, or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should meet. • Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can't help them. • Close doors behind you as you leave. 4 Testing Test the ADT Smoke Alarm after installation and then on a weekly basis. Note: If you have an ADT professional monitoring service activated, make sure that your ADT Security Hub is in Test Mode to avoid triggering a false alarm.
Testing Testing Alarm Operation Test: Push and hold the Test button on the alarm for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm will sound, and the red LED blink. The ADT Security Hub will display an alert for the smoke alarm. If the alarm fails to activate with any of these tests, clean it and repeat the tests. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation, it should be replaced. Check the date when the alarm should be replaced which is given on the sidewall of the alarm.
5 Troubleshooting If the alarm emits 2 short beeps with the yellow LED blinking twice every 48 seconds, it indicates an issue with the alarm, which must then be replaced. To silence the beeps and stop the yellow LED flashes, you can press the test button and repeat as required, but after 4 hours your alarm will no longer be supervised by the security system. If the alarm sounds without any apparent smoke being present, press the test button to silence the alarm for 10 minutes.
Using your Replacing Batteries 2. Remove the old batteries and wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing 2 new CR123A batteries. Be sure to install the battery correctly. CR123A Batteries Alarm (Back) 3. Attach the alarm onto the mounting base by matching up the alignment marks and then turning the alarm clockwise until it clicks into place. 4. Wait for a single blink of the red LED, followed by a single blink of the yellow LED. The alarm is now in Standby mode.
7 Use Use What You Hear / See What It Means What To Do Siren at full volume, red LED flashing. Sensing fire. If safe, put out the source of the smoke. If unknown, get out of the house immediately. Follow appropriate fire safety guidelines at all times. No siren, red LED flash every 8 seconds. Smoke alarm hushed. No action required. 1 beep plus yellow LED flash every 48 seconds. Batteries low. Replace batteries. 2 beeps plus yellow LED flash every 48 seconds. Smoke and/or heat sensor error.
8 Suggestions The ADT Smoke Alarm monitors for smoke and extreme temperatures in your home (heat above 135°F, or freeze below 40°F). When smoke or extreme temperatures are detected, the loud local alarm sounds and a notification is sent to your ADT Security Hub. Your ADT Security Hub can then send an alert to your smartphone, automate connected devices, or initiate optional ADT professional monitoring services (additional fees apply).
