RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS
• Locate the first smoke alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the escape
route as the bedrooms are usually farthest from an exit. If more than one sleeping area exists,
locate additional smoke alarms in each sleeping area. If a hall is more than 40 feet (12 meters)
long, install a smoke alarm at each end.
• Locate additional smoke alarms to protect any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for
smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one smoke alarm on every floor level.
• Locate a smoke alarm in any area where a smoker sleeps or where electrical appliances are
operated in sleeping areas.
• Smoke, heat and other combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting
the smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.
Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction. However, in mobile homes, wall
mounting on an inside partition is preferred to avoid the thermal barrier that may form at the ceiling.
• When mounting smoke alarm on the ceiling, locate it a minimum of 4" (10cm) from a side wall or
corner (see Diagram A).
• When mounting smoke alarm on a wall, if local codes allow, use an inside wall with the top edge
of the smoke alarm a minimum of 4" (10cm) and a maximum of 12" (30.5cm) below the ceiling/
wall intersections (See Diagram A).
Existing Homes:
The NFPA requires a smoke alarm on every level and outside each sleeping area in existing construction.
An existing household with one level and one sleeping area is required to have one smoke alarm.
New Construction Homes and Manufactured Homes:
The NFPArequires AC-powered, interconnected smoke alarms to be installed inside each bedroom, outside
each bedroom area, and on every level of the home. They also require a minimum of two AC-powered,
interconnected smoke alarms in any new construction home.
Sloped Ceilings (Peaked Ceilings):
Smoke alarms or smoke detectors mounted on a peaked ceiling shall be located within 36 in. (914 mm)
horizontally of the peak, but not closer than 4 in. (102 mm) vertically to the peak.
Sloped Ceilings (Shed Ceilings):
Smoke alarms or smoke detectors mounted on a sloped ceiling having a rise greater than 1 ft. in 8 ft. (1 m
in 8 m) horizontally shall be located within 36 in. (914 mm) of the high side of the ceiling, but not closer
than 4 in. (102 mm) from the adjoining wall surface.
Tray-Shaped Ceilings:
Smoke Alarms or smoke detectors shall be installed on the highest portion of the ceiling or on the sloped
portion of the ceiling within 12 in. (305 mm) vertically down from the highest point.
Mobile Home Installation:
For minimum protection, smoke alarms should be installed in compliance with H.U.D. Manufactured Home
Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Section 3280.208 and Section 3282. For additional protection,
see Single Story Residence smoke alarm requirements/recommendations for Existing Homes and New
Construction Homes.
Note: For mobile homes built before 1978, install smoke alarms on inside walls between 4” and 12” from
the ceiling (older mobile homes have little or no insulation in the ceiling). This is especially important if the
ceiling is unusually hot or cold.
Install a smoke alarm inside each bedroom and in the hallway outside each separate sleeping area.

THIS SMOKE ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT 120 VAC POWER AND A
GOOD BATTERY PROPERLY INSTALLED. THE SMOKE ALARM SHOULD BE
TESTED WHEN INSTALLED AND THEN TESTED WEEKLY AFTER 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 of, but outside of, the bedrooms); and, as appropriate, heat or
smoke alarms in living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets,
utility storage rooms, basements and attached garages. Test the alarms weekly to assure
proper operation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: CAUTION!! READ CAREFULLY.
Installation of this alarm must conform to the electrical codes in your area; Article 760 of the
National Electrical Code, NFPA 72, 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO); NBC (BOCA): OTFDC
(CABO), and any other local or building codes that may apply. Wiring and installation must
be performed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury
or property damage.
This alarm must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be
turned off by a switch, dimmer or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to connect this
alarm to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection.
IMPORTANT: Do not subject this smoke alarm to megger, high voltage or high-pot tests.

DO NOT TAMPER WITH WIRES WHEN POWER IS ON!
For alarms that are used as single smoke alarms, do not connect the yellow wire to anything.
Insulate this wire (tape it) in place to make certain the yellow wire cannot contact any metal parts.
Interconnected alarms can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone alarms, especially
if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. When alarms are interconnected, all alarms
will sound when one alarm first goes into alarm. This alarm may be interconnected with a
total of not more than 24 interconnected devices, i.e., as many as 11 other USI ELECTRIC or
UNIVERSAL model smoke alarms or combination smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms;
6 other initiating smoke alarms which may be a combination of USI ELECTRIC or UNIVERSAL
CO Alarms and Heat Alarms; and six other non-initiating devices such as USI ELECTRIC
Relay Modules. Comparable models include: 2995, 5304, MI100, MI106, MH119, MH120,

Interconnected CO alarms or CO alarm circuit of combination smoke and CO alarms will only
respond if a CO alarm / event initiates the alarm. All other alarms remain silent.
Interconnected smoke alarms, heat alarms and relay modules will only respond if a smoke
alarm / event or heat alarm / event initiates the alarm. All CO alarms remain silent.
Note that smoke alarms without battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure.
NOTE: Relay Modules/USI-960 will not respond if a CO alarm / event initiates the alarm.
Page 5
The yellow wire is used only for multiple station operation with USI ELECTRIC or
UNIVERSAL Model alarms only. Connecting this yellow wire to any other circuits may
result in damage and smoke alarm malfunction. When alarms are interconnected, all smoke
alarms must be powered from a single AC branch circuit. If local codes do not permit, be
sure the neutral wire is common to both phases. The maximum wire run distance between
the first and last alarm/device in an interconnected system is 1,000 feet. NOTE: Use standard
household wire (18 gauge or larger, rated at least 300V, as required by local codes) available
at all electrical supply/hardware stores.
The wiring to be used shall be in accordance with the provisions ofArticles 210 and 300.3(B)
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70. In addition, the resistance of the interconnecting
wiring shall be a maximum of 10 Ohms.

FEATURES" instructions on Page 4.
6. Turn on AC power and check the LED's for proper operation. The green LED should be on to
indicateAC power.The red LED blinks on approx. every 40-45 seconds to indicate proper operation.
OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the AC power is connected and turned on (the
battery must also be installed). When products of combustion are sensed, the alarm sounds a loud
alarm which continues until the air is cleared.
This alarm incorporates the NFPA recognized horn signal for evacuation. During alarm mode, the
horn produces three beeps followed by a two second pause and then continually repeats.
READY/ACTIVE CONDITION: The red LED blinks on once approx. every 40-45 seconds to indicate
the alarm is properly functioning.
LOCAL ORIGINATING ALARM CONDITION: The red LED blinks on once approx. every 2 seconds
and the alarm emits a loud, pulsating alarm sound.
NON-ORIGINATING ALARM CONDITION: The red LED is off and the alarm emits a loud, pulsating
alarm.
GREEN LED: The green LED is on whenever AC power is turned on.
NUISANCE ALARMS: The smoke alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Smoking will
not normally set off the alarm unless smoke is blown directly into the smoke alarm. Combustion
particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the smoke alarm is located close to the kitchen
cooking surface. Large quantities of combustion particles are generated from spills or broiling.
If the smoke alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire
department. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed above may have caused
the alarm. Use the Silence Feature if it is a nuisance alarm, or reset the alarm by pressing and
holding the test button for ten seconds. Refer to RESET on Page 7.
TESTING: Test by pushing the Test button on the smoke alarm cover until the alarm sounds, then
release. The alarm sounds if all electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. If no alarm sounds,
the alarm may have a power supply failure. Test the smoke alarm weekly to assure proper
operation.
ALARM ORIGINATION: The QUICK FIND® Alarm Origination Feature allows the user to identify
the initiating alarm smoke alarms in an interconnected alarm system. If an interconnected alarm
system is initiated by one of the alarms, when the alarm system exits alarm condition, the user can
identify the initiating alarm by:
a.
Pressing and releasing the test button on any alarm in the system.
Page 6
b.
c.
Interconnected alarms will sound and then stop.
The originating smoke alarm will continue to sound 60 seconds to allow ample time to quickly
find originating alarm.
RESET: To reset the QUICK FIND® Alarm Origination condition, press and hold the Test button
on any alarm for at least 10 seconds and then release. Reset after each alarm. The reset
feature will reset all interconnected units.
TROUBLE/SERVICE ALARM: If the smoke alarm chirps 3 times every 40 seconds after the red
LED flashes and cannot be restored to normal operation, the smoke alarm should be replaced.
NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this smoke alarm. You might accidentally damage
or set fire to the smoke alarm or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the
smoke alarm's operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).
(UTHA) Sensitivity Indicating Means
The sensitivity indicating means for this Smoke and FireAlarm is the use of the analyzer for Smoke
Detectors Model 501-A or 501-A/Bat Aerosol Generator Manufactured by Gemini Scientific Corp.,
1122-B Aster Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94086.
The Equivalent UL 268 Light obscuration %/Ft as measured by this instrument must be between
1.55% Obs./Ft. and 0.85% Obs./Ft (1.20 + 0.35% Obs./Ft.).
(UTHA) Go/No-Go Field Test
The Go/No-Go test for this smoke and fire alarm is to use one of the following UL listed can-type
aerosol smoke alarm testers. The instructions for use are printed on the canister. Home Safeguard,
Model 25S, No Climb model A3-xxx and SDi model Check02-xxx.
If you choose to use an aerosol smoke product to test the smoke alarm, be certain to use one
that has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Safety Standards and use it only as
directed. Use of non-UL Listed products or improper use of UL Listed products may affect
the smoke alarm's sensitivity.
NUISANCE ALARM SILENCE FEATURE: This feature is to be used only when a known alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the smoke alarm. The smoke alarm Silence
Feature is activated by pushing and releasing the Silence button on the smoke alarm cover. The
smoke alarm will automatically reduce sensitivity and the red LED will blink on approx. every 2
seconds to indicate the alarm is in the Silence mode. The smoke alarm will gradually regain normal
sensitivity and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The 8-12 minute Silence
feature may be used repeatedly until the air has cleared, by pushing and releasing the Silence
button again. Resetting the smoke alarm after a nuisance alarm is recommended.
NOTE: If the Test button is pressed and held during the Silence mode, the smoke alarm will be
tested normally. Upon the release of the Test button, the Silence mode will be restarted.
Before using the alarm Silence Feature, identify the source of smoke and be certain that safe
conditions exist.
(UTHA) MAINTENANCE:
The smoke alarm is virtually maintenance free. However, under dusty conditions, a vacuum hose
may be used to clear the sensing chamber of dust.
Clean the smoke alarm at least once a month to remove dust, dirt, insects or debris. Always turn
off power to smoke alarm before cleaning. Using a soft brush or wand attachment to a vacuum
cleaner, vacuum all sides and cover of smoke alarm. Be sure all the vents are free of debris.
BACKUP BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Disconnect AC power before changing battery. Shock hazard exists if AC power is miswired.
The smoke alarm uses a 9 Volt battery. The battery should last for at least one year under normal
operating conditions. The smoke alarm has a low battery indicator, an audible beep or chirp. It will
operate at approx. 40 second intervals for a minimum of 7 days. When this indication occurs, replace
the battery with anAlkaline type (Energizer #522, Duracell #MN1604), Carbon-Zinc type (Gold Peak
#1604S) or Lithium type (Ultralife U9VL-J or Ultralife U9VL-J-P) from your local retailer.
LITHIUM Battery Models only - The LITHUM battery is warranted to last for 10 years under normal
operating conditions. Replace the battery with only LITHIUM type: (ULTRALIFE: U9VL-J or Ultralife
U9VL-J-P).

charge for repairing out of warranty smoke alarms.
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION REQUIRED PROTECTION
For your information, the National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72, reads as follows:
“One- and Two-Family Dwelling Units.
"Smoke Detection - Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for the
specified occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be
installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping rooms. Exception: Smoke alarms shall not be
required in sleeping rooms in existing one- and two-family dwelling units. (2) Outside of
each separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms. (3) On each
level of the dwelling unit, including basements. Exception: In existing one- and two-
family dwelling units, approved smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
“Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Detectors Desirable? The required number of
smoke detectors might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas
separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke detectors. For this
reason, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke
detectors for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the
basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected
by the required smoke detectors. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations
occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.”
The equipment should be installed using wiring methods in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72.
(National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
