ADT Smoke Alarm Setup Guide
A 1. Setup Take the ADT Smoke Alarm to where you intend to mount it after setup. • Make sure you are within 350 feet from the ADT Security Hub. (Exact range depends on your home’s construction, the environment, the position of the ADT Security Hub, and the position and number of other connected devices.) • Make sure that your ADT Security Hub is disarmed before connecting a new device. • Make sure that you only setup one new device at a time. 2.
B Setup 4. Use the SmartThings app to scan the QR code on the front of the alarm and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup. Smoke Alarm (Front) QR Code 5. Remove the QR code from the front of the alarm and attach it inside the ADT Security Hub User Guide for future reference. Placement Install the ADT Smoke Alarm in a place where the alarm can be heard easily.
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 alarms 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.
C 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 circuit 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. D Testing Test the ADT Smoke Alarm after installation and then on a weekly basis. Before initiating any of the below tests, place your ADT Security Hub in Walk Test Mode. See the ADT Security Hub User Guide for more details.
Testing Testing Alarm Operation Test: Push and hold the Test button on the alarm for a minimum of five seconds. The alarm will sound, and the red LED blink. The ADT Security Hub will display an alert for the smoke alarm. Smoke Test: Hold a match, canned smoke or other smoldering stick near the alarm with caution and gently blow smoke through the alarm until it goes off. If the alarm fails to activate with any of these tests, clean it and repeat the tests.
