RECOMMENDED SMOKE
ALARMS LOCATIONS TO AVOID
AIR STREAMS WITH
COMBUSTION PARTICLES
Ԧ In damp or very humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers. Moisture in
humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then turns into droplets upon
cooling, which can cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke alarms at least 10
feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms.
ԦIn very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor
rooms. If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of
smoke alarms, it will not work properly. The temperature range for your
smoke alarm is 0к~49к
Ԧ In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the alarm’s
sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt can
block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the alarm from sensing
smoke.
Ԧ Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or
fans, fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke alarms.
Ԧ Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners
between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching an
alarm . See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting locations.
Ԧ In insect-infested areas. If insects enter an alarm’s sensing chamber, they
may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of them
before putting up an alarm.
Ԧ Near fluorescent lights, electrical “noise” from fluorescent lights may cause
nuisance alarms. Install smoke alarms at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from
such lights.
WARNING: Never remove battery from smoke alarm to stop a nuisance
alarm. Open a window or fan the air around the smoke alarm to get rid of the
smoke. The alarm will turn itself off when the smoke is gone. If nuisance
alarms persist, attempt to clean the smoke alarm as described in this User’s
Manual.
WARNING: Do not stand close to the smoke alarm when the alarm is
sounding. The alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency. Too much
exposure to the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
INSTALLING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
SD360 Smoke alarm is made to be mounted on the ceiling or on the wall if
necessary.
WARNING: Do not connect SD360 smoke alarms to any other alarm or
auxiliary device. Connecting anything else to this alarm will keep it from
working properly.
Read “LOCATIONS TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS” and
“LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS” section in this
Manual first, then decide where to install a alarm.
Please follow these steps to install your smoke alarm:
1. At the place where you are going to install your smoke alarm, draw a
horizontal line six inches long.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit by rotating it
counterclockwise.
3. Place the bracket so that the two longest hold slots are aligned on the line.
In each of keyhole slots, drawing a mark to locate a mounting plug and
screw.
4. Remove the bracket.
5. Using a 3/16-inch(5mm) drill bit, drills two holes at the marks and insert
plastic wall plugs. Put the smoke alarm away from plastic dust on it when
you drill holds for mounting..
6. Using the two screws and plastic wall plugs ( all supplied) , attach the
bracket to the wall.
7. Line up the slot of the bracket and the smoke alarm. Push the alarm onto
the mounting bracket on turn it clockwise to fix it into the place. Pull
onward on the smoke alarm to make sure it is securely attached to the
mounting bracket..
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.
NOTE: alarm horn will beep once after the detector is installed with battery
and mounted with bracket 2~4 seconds. This means the smoke alarm is
working normally and also indicates that the battery is positioned properly.
Close cover, and then press the test button, holding it down for about 3
seconds until the horn sounds. The horn should sound a loud, pulsating
alarm. This means the unit is working properly.

TESTING YOUR SMOKE ALARM
Test the alarm weekly by pushing firmly on the test button with your finger
for around 4 seconds until the horn sounds, the sound pattern is 3 beeps ,
pause, and then 3 beeps with red LED flashing continuously and rapidly.If the
smoke alarm beeps three with yellow LED flashing three times in 43 seconds,
it indicates the smoke alarm is not working properly, it requires to be repaired
or serviced.
This is the only way to make sure that the smoke alarm unit is working
properly. If the unit fails to test properly, have it repaired or replaced
immediately. If you suspect that your smoke alarm does not go into alarm,
test it by pressing the test button with your finger to ensure if it works
properly.
WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your alarm. You
may set fire to damage the alarm, as well as your home. The built-in test
switch accurately tests all functions as required by Underwriters’ Laboratories.
They are the only correct ways to test the unit.
WARNING: When you are not testing the unit and the alarm horn sounds
this means the smoke alarm has sensed smoke or combustion particles in the
air. Be sure that the alarm horn is a warning of a possible serious situation,
which requires your immediate attention.
Ԧ The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation. Cooking smoke or a
dusty furnace, sometimes called “friendly fires” can cause the alarm to
sound. If this happens, open a window or fan the air to remove the smoke
or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the air is completely clear.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the power or remove the battery from the smoke
