Owner's Instructions
Fire Safety In The Home
Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is recommended that a household fire
safety audit be conducted and a family escape plan be developed.
Household Fire Safety Audit
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded
lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or
household service, have a professional evaluation.
2. Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers, and in a cool and well ventilated
area? Cleaning the unit with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are hazardous materials (eg., matches) out of the reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean, and in good working
order? If in doubt, have a professional evaluation.
Family Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly.
Because of this, it is very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
Every family member should participate in the escape plan.
l
Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at
l
night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior door. Con-
l
sider the following when making your escape plans:
Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened. Ensure that they
l
are not painted shut and that the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for their
l
rescue should be developed. This plan includes making sure that those who are to perform the
rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided, as well
l
as training in its use.
Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio
l
doors in the winter and that outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.
The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted for;
l
for example, across the street or at a neighbour's house.
Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
l
A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to fight the fire, and
l
do not attempt to rescue belongings or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside, do not re-
enter the house; wait for the Fire Department.
Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency ever arise, every-
l
one will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when there are
more or fewer family members in the home or if there are changes to the house.
Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure
l
about system operation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Department and request further information
l
on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer con-
duct an in-house fire safety inspection.
Testing Your Smoke Detector
Follow the test procedure described here or contact your smoke detector dealer or installer for
testing instructions. DSC recommends that you test the entire alarm system at least once a
week to verify the operation of all system functions.
Smoke Detector Unit Test
Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds (min.), the sounder makes clicking noises dur-
ing this time. Press the button until the unit alarm sounds, an alarm should be sent to the control
panel. When the button is released, the alarm should cease. If this does not occur, ensure batteries
are the correct type, in good condition and are installed correctly.
Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector, check the unit's sensing chamber to
ensure proper operation. To test the sensing chamber, 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 second) at the detector. If the alarm does not sound, repeat every 10 seconds until
alarm sounds or for a maximum of 1 minute. If the smoke detector does not function properly, call
your smoke detector installer or dealer for service.
Owner's Maintenance
The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance. If the case becomes dusty,
vacuum with a small brush attachment. If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with soapy water.
