Observe all local and national electrical and building regulations and require-
ments during the installation.
This smoke sensor is designed for use in a single apartment. In multi-apartment
buildings, each apartment must have its own smoke sensor. Do not use in non-res-
idential buildings, this smoke sensor is not a substitute for a complete alarm sys-
tem.
Place the smoke sensor in every room and every floor of the apartment. Smoke
may not reach the sensor for many reasons. For example, if a fire starts in a remote
part of the apartment, on another floor, in a chimney, inside a wall, on a roof, or
behind a closed door; the smoke of this fire may not reach a distant sensor in time
to alert the residents. Smoke sensors can not timely detect fires occurring outside
the room they are placed.
The smoke sensor may not alert every resident. The alarm is loud enough to warn a
person in case of danger. However, there may be situations where some residents
do not hear the alarm. This may be caused by external or internal loud noises such
as snoring and alcohol consumption or hearing impairment also makes it hard to
hear or understand sounds.If you think it would be difficult for a family member
to be alerted by the smoke sensor, it is better to install specialized smoke sensors.
Residents must hear the warning sound of the sensor and react quickly to reduce
the risk of fire damage, injury or death. If a resident has a hearing impairment, it is
recommended to install special smoke alarms with light or vibration.
Smoke sensors will only sound alarm when they detect smoke or combustion par-
ticles in the air. They do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke sensor is de-
signed to provide an audible warning of a developing fire. However, some fires
burn very quickly (explosive, deliberate or non-intentional). In this case, the smoke
sensor may not sound the alarm fast enough to ensure a safe escape.
Smoke sensors have their limits. This smoke sensor is not perfect and capable of
preventing human error; cannot guarantee the protection of life and property
from fire. Smoke sensors are no substitute for an insurance. Landlords and tenants
must insure themselves and their properties. Also, it is possible for the smoke sen-
sor to fail at any time. That's why you should test your smoke sensor weekly and
replace it every 10 years.
