INTRODUCTION

Everday’s single station photoelectric smoke detector SD360 series

is designed to sense smoke that comes into the alarm chamber. It

does not sense gas, or flame. This smoke alarm is designed to give

early warning of developing fires by giving off the alarm sounds from

its built-in alarm horn. It can provide precious time for you and your

family to escape before a fire spreads. However, the smoke alarm

makes such pre-warning of fire accident possible, only if the smoke

alarm is located, installed, and maintained properly as described in

this User's Manual.

WARNING:

This smoke alarm is designed for use in a single residential

unit only, which means that it should be used inside a single family home or

apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies, hallways, basements, or

another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are already working

alarms in each family unit. Smoke alarms , placed in common areas outside of

the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide

early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living unit

should set up its own smoke alarms.

WARNING:

This alarm is not meant to be used in non-residential buildings.

Warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, and special purpose

non-residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm systems.

This smoke alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection

systems for places where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels.

The same is true of dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes or group homes of

any kind, even if they were once single family homes. Please refer NFPA 101,

the Life Safety Code, NFPA 72A for smoke alarm requirements for fire

protection in buildings not defined as “households”.

WARNING:

This smoke alarm will not alert people who are hard of hearing.

It is strongly recommended that the special-purpose smoke alarms, using

lights or vibrating devices, should be installed to alert occupants who are hard

of hearing.

LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARM

Smoke alarms should be installed in accordance with the NFPA Standard 72

(National Fire Protection Association, Battery march Park, Quincy, MA 02169).

For complete coverage in residential units, smoke alarms should be installed

in all rooms, halls, storage areas, basements, and attics in each family living

unit. Minimum coverage is one alarm on each floor and one in each sleeping

area.

Here, we have useful tips for you:

Ԧ Install a smoke alarm in the hallway outside every separate bedroom area,

as shown in Figure 1. Two alarms are required in homes with two bedroom

areas, as shown in Figure 2.

Ԧ Install a smoke alarm on every floor of a multi-floor home or apartment, as

shown in Figure 3.

Ԧ Install a minimum of two alarms in any household.

Ԧ Install a smoke alarm inside every bedroom.

Ԧ Install smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is

more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.

Ԧ Install a smoke alarm inside every room where one sleeps with the door

partly or completely closed, since smoke could be blocked by the closed

door and a hallway alarm may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.

Ԧ Install basement alarms at the bottom of the basement stairwell.

Ԧ Install second-floor alarms at the top of the first-to-second floor stairwell.

Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the

alarm.

ԦInstall additional alarms in your living room, dining room, family room, attic,

utility and storage rooms.

Ԧ Install smoke alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this

is not practical, put the alarm on the ceiling, no closer than 4 inches (10 cm)

from any wall or corner, as shown in Figure 4.

Ԧ If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by your

local and state codes, put wall-mounted alarms between 4 and 6 inches

(10 ~ 15 cm) from the ceiling, also see Figure 4.

Ԧ If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try to mount

alarms 3 feet (0.9 meter) measured horizontally from the highest point of

the ceiling as shown in Figure 5.

CAUTION (As required by the California State Fire Marshall)

“Early warning fire” detection is best achieved by the installation of fire

detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: (1) A

smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but

outside of the bedrooms), and (2) 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.”

For your information, NFPA Standard 72, Section 29 reads as follows:

“29.5.1 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.

The provisions of 29.5.1 represent the minimum number of alarms required

by this standard. It is recommended that the householder consider the use of

additional smoke alarms for increased protection for those areas separated by

a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms under 29.5.1

above. The recommended additional areas are living room, dining room,

bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace rooms, utility room,

basement, integral or attached garage, and hallways not included in 29.5.1

above. However, the use of additional alarms remains the option of the

householder.” We recommend complete coverage and use of additional

smoke alarms.

LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS

Nuisance alarms take place when smoke alarms are installed where they will

not work properly. To avoid nuisance alarms, do not install smoke alarms in

the following situations:

Ԧ Combustion particles are the by-products of something that is burning.

Thus, in or near areas where combustion particles are present you do not

install the smoke alarms to avoid nuisance alarms, such as kitchens with

few windows or poor ventilation, garages where there may be vehicle

exhaust, near furnaces, hot water heaters, and space heaters.

Ԧ Do not install smoke alarms less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from places

where combustion particles are normally present, like kitchens. If a 20-foot

distance is not possible, e.g. in a mobile home, try to install the alarm as far

away from the combustion particles as possible, preferably on the wall. To

prevent nuisance alarm alarms, provide good ventilation in such places.

IMPORTANT: For any reason, do not disable the unit to avoid nuisance

alarms.

Ԧ W hen air streams passing by kitchens, the way how an smoke alarm can

sense combustion particles in normal air-flow paths is graphically shown in

Figure 6, which indicates the correct and incorrect smoke alarm locations

concerning this problem.

CAUTION: This smoke alarm comes with cover latches that will prevent the smoke alarm cover from closing if battery is not installed. This tells you that the smoke alarm will not work until a new battery is properly installed.
