5 Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each sleeping area as possible. For more security , put one unit in each room. Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little or no insula- tion.
6 A VOIDING DEAD AIR SP ACES “ Dead air ” spaces may prevent smoke fr om reaching the Smoke/CO Alarm. T o avoid dead air spaces, fol- low installation recommendations: On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the ceiling as possible.

9 Unlock the Battery Compartment (continued)... 5. Reconnect the power connector to the back of the Alarm, reattach the Alarm to the mounting bracket, and restore the power as soon as possible to conserve battery power . When replacing the battery , always test the Alarm after relocking the battery compartment.
10 HOW TO INST ALL THIS ALARM This unit is designed to be mounted on an standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch size on either the ceiling or wall. Read “ Where to Install Alarms ” and Where Not to Install Alarms ” befor e you begin installa- tion.

12 Interconnecting Multiple Alarms (continued)... • The total length of wire inter connecting the units should be less than 1000 feet (300 meters). The interconnect wire should be #18 gauge or lar ger , rated at least 300V . • If an interconnect wir e is not already part of your household wiring, you will need to install one.

14 CHAPTER 3: IF YOUR SMOKE/CO ALARM SOUNDS WHA T TO DO FIRST – IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF ALARM T ype of Alarm What Y ou See and Hear Carbon Monoxide CO Light: (CO) Flashing RED Horn: 4 beeps, pause, 4 b.
15 WHA T TO DO IF SMOKE IS DETECTED RESPONDING TO AN ALARM • Don ’ t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan. Y our safe escape may depend on thinking clearly and remembering what you have prac- ticed. Get out of the house as quickly as possible.
16 The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the horn while you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in emer gency situations. It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a fir e. T o use the Silence Feature, briefly press the T est/Silence button on the cover of the Smoke/CO Alarm.
17 The Latching Alarm Indicator is activated after an Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of smoke or carbon monoxide. After smoke or CO levels drop below alarm levels, the red smoke or CO LED will begin to flash once every 5 seconds. For example, if CO initiated the alarm, the red “ CO ” LED will flash.
18 CHAPTER 4: TESTING AND MAINTENANCE WEEKL Y TESTING • SMOKE ALARM: NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test the Smoke Alarm. Y ou might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit ’ s operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
19 REGULAR MAINTENANCE This unit has been designed to be as maintenance- free as possible, but there ar e a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly: • T est it at least once a week. • Gently vacuum off any dust on the cover at least once a month using your vacuum ’ s soft brush attachment.
20 CHAPTER 5: PROTECTING YOUR F AMIL Y FROM CO POISONING A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.
21 • Keep at least one working fire extinguisher on every floor , and an additional one in the kitchen. Have fire escape ladders or other reliable means of escape from an upper floor in case the stairs are blocked. • Follow safety rules, and prevent hazardous situations: 1) Use smoking materials properly .
22 WHA T IS CO? CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely , or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO. These fuels include : W ood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.
23 1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appli- ances caused by outdoor conditions such as: • Wind direction and/or velocity , including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
24 Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposur e, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help.
25 SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERA TIONS This unit alone is not a suitable substitute for com- plete fire detection systems in places housing many people — like apartment buildings, condo- miniums, hot.
26 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SMOKE ALARMS Battery operated units: Provide protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fr esh and correctly installed. Units are easy to install, and do not require pr ofessional installation. AC powered units: Can be interconnected so if one unit senses smoke, all units alarm.
Once a minute, the alarm sounds 3 quick “ chirps ” , and the green light flashes quickly three times. Unit malfunction. Unit needs to be replaced. Based on self-diagnostic tests, the unit has detected a fault. Units under warranty should be returned to manufacturer for replacement.
28 CHAPTER 10: UNDERST ANDING THE LIGHT AND HORN P A TTERNS Condition LED (Red or Green Lights) Horn POWER UP Green LED flashes ON once, then shines continuously Horn “ chirps ” once DURING TESTIN.
