Battery Installation And Replacement; Installation Instructions - Tyco SMD-429 PG2 Série Instructions D'installation Et D'utilisation

At low battery, the test button is disabled. An alternative test method is to use an aerosol test
gas such as 'Solo A10 smoke detector tester'. Shake the can well, aim it at the smoke detector
and spray a short burst (no more than 1 sec) at the detector. If the alarm does not sound,
repeat every 10 seconds until alarm sounds or for a maximum of 1 minute.
NOTE: If the alarm does not sound, contact the installer or dealer for service.

Battery Installation and Replacement

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used bat-
tery according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To replace batteries, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise.
Carefully remove batteries by lifting from the "+" end using a flathead screwdriver and dis-
pose of them according to local regulations.
2. To ensure a proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before
installing new batteries.
3. Install 3 new AAA batteries, available from a local Duracell or Energizer dealer in the bat-
tery compartment. Install the batteries by inserting the "-" end first, then pushing the "+"
end down. If the batteries are incorrectly inserted, please remove them carefully by lifting
them out from the "+" end and correctly re-inserting them.
BATTERY COMPARTMENT
4. Re-install the detector on its mounting base by turning the detector clockwise until the mat-
ing marks align.
5. After the power-up sequence, the green LED should blink once every 60 seconds to indic-
ate normal operation. If the batteries are not installed correctly, the detector will not oper-
ate and the batteries may be damaged. If the detector does not power up, check that the
batteries are installed correctly and fully charged.
6. Test the detector as described later.
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH HUMIDITY MAY
REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

Installation Instructions

The SMD-429 PG2 Series wireless smoke detector shall be installed and used within an envir-
onment that provides the pollution degree max 2 and over voltages category II in non- haz-
ardous locations, indoor only. The equipment is designed to be installed by SERVICE
PERSONS only; (SERVICE PERSON is defined as a person having the appropriate technical
training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be
exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the risks to that person or other per-
sons).
1. Smoke Detector Placement
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent.
Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede
detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed
outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire
codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms. It is recom-
mended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be
installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially
where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not protected
by the required units. On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1 m (30 ft) apart as a
guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence
of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC- S553
or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations.
Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space
l
in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air move-
l
ment around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
l
Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38 ºC (100 ºF) or falls
l
below 5 ºC (41 ºF).
Smoke detectors must always be installed in USA in accordance with Chapter 29 of NFPA
l
72, the National Fire Alarm Code: 29.5.1.1.
Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy,
approved single and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:
