• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance
alarms.
• In insect-infested areas.
• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the
following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom con-
taining a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating
or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high
air flow areas.
• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a
kitchen alarm is desired, it should have an alarm silence feature
or be a photoelectric type.
• Near fluorescent lights. Electronic "noise" may cause nuisance
alarms.
• Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless
the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and
found suitable for that purpose.
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WIRING REQUIREMENTS
• This smoke alarm should be installed on a U.L. listed or recog-
nized junction box. All connections should be made by a quali-
fied electrician and all wiring used shall be in accordance with
articles 210 and 300.3(B) of the U.S. National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70, NFPA 72 and/or any other codes having jurisdic-
tion in your area. The multiple station interconnect wiring to the
alarms must be run in the same raceway or cable as the AC
power wiring. In addition, the resistance of the interconnect
wiring shall be a maximum of 10 ohms.
• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt AC Single Phase sup-
plied from a non-switchable circuit which is not protected by a
ground fault interrupter.
• WARNING: This alarm cannot be operated from power derived
from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine
wave inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes used to
supply power to the structure in off grid installations, such as
solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources pro-
duce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm.
