SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
WITH SILENCE CONTROL
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
The smoke alarm uses an extremely small amount of a radioactive element in the ionization
chamber. Do not tamper with radioactive sealed source or try to repair the smoke alarm
yourself. Refer to instructions for repairs.
LIMITATIONSAND FUNCTIONS
•
•
This combination smoke/carbon monoxide (CO) alarm requires constant 120VAC power
to operate properly.
THERE ARE TWO BASIC SMOKEALARM TYPES - IONIZATIONAND PHOTOELECTRIC.
Ionization smoke alarms (such as this smoke alarm) are your best overall choice for
reliability and fast response time, since they quickly sense small "invisible" smoke
particles and will also sense larger "visible" smoke particles. Photoelectric smoke
alarms may respond more quickly in certain types of fires, for example - slow smoldering
fires with large "visible" smoke particles. ALL TYPES OF SMOKE ALARMS HAVE
LIMITATIONS. NO TYPE OF SMOKE ALARM CAN SENSE EVERY KIND OF FIRE OR
SMOKE EVERY TIME.
•
SMOKE ALARMS can sound an alarm only when smoke reaches their sensors. Smoke
may not reach the smoke alarm QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape. They do not
sense heat, flame or gas (propane).
•
•
ALL alarms have limitations. This combination smoke/CO alarm is not foolproof and is
not warranted to protect lives or property. It is not a substitute for insurance.
WARNING - SINCE ASMOKE OR COALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT POWER, having an
alarm(s) that works from two completely different power sources, such as an AC direct wire
with battery backup can give you an extra measure of protection in case of an AC power failure
or a dead battery.
•
•
CO ALARMS are designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source of combustion
that reaches their sensor. They are NOT designed to detect any other type of gas.
USING A SMOKE ALARM IN A SMOKY AREA LIKE A KITCHEN, OR IN A HIGH HUMIDITY
AREA NEAR A SHOWER, CAN CAUSE FALSE ALARMS. DO NOT TURN OFF THE AC
POWER TO QUIET THE ALARM. ASMOKE ALARM WILL NOT HELP PROTECT YOU IF IT
IS NOT POWERED. Properly locate your alarm to avoid nuisance alarms.
A SMOKE ALARM MAY NOT ALWAYS WARN YOU ABOUT FIRES CAUSED BY
CARELESSNESS AND SAFETY HAZARDS LIKE SMOKING IN BED, VIOLENT
EXPLOSIONS, ESCAPING GAS, IMPROPER STORAGE OF FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
OVERLOADED ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS, CHILDREN PLAYING WITH MATCHES,
NATURAL CAUSES SUCH AS LIGHTNING, OR ARSON. FIRE PREVENTION IS YOUR
BEST SAFEGUARD.
•
•
•
SMOKE ALARMS CANNOT DETECT FIRES IF THE SMOKE DOES NOT REACH THEM.
Smoke from fires may not reach the sensing chamber and set off the alarm. One unit
should be installed inside each bedroom or sleeping area.
SMOKE ALARMS MAY NOT DETECT FIRE ON ANOTHER FLOOR OR AREA OF THE
HOME. Recommended minimum protection is at least one unit in every sleeping area
and every bedroom on every level of your home. Interconnected units may provide earlier
warning than stand-alone units since all units alarm when one detects smoke.
ALARMS MAY NOT BE HEARD. The alarm horn in this unit meets or exceeds current
standards, but it may not be heard if: (1) the unit is located outside a closed or partially
closed door; (2) residents recently consumed alcohol or drugs; (3) the alarm is drowned
out by noise from stereos, TV's, air conditioners or other appliances or (4) if residents
are hearing impaired or sound sleepers.
•
•
•
•
Because it is possible for the alarm to fail at any time, you must test the alarm weekly
and replace it every 5 years.
SMOKE ALARMS ARE NOT TO BE USED WITH DETECTOR GUARDS UNLESS THE
COMBINATION HAS BEEN EVALUATED AND FOUND SUITABLE FOR THAT PURPOSE.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS
YOU MUST QUICKLY DO THE FOLLOWING:
If the smoke alarm sounds and you have not pushed the test button, it is a warning of a
dangerous situation.
Your immediate response is necessary. To prepare for such occurrences, develop family
escape plans, discuss them with ALL household members and practice them regularly.
BASICS OF ESCAPE PLAN
o
Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each
room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.
o
Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of
fire.
o
o
Determine a place outside your home where all of you can meet if a fire occurs.
Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave your home when they
hear the sound.
o
o
Identify children's bedrooms with red stickers placed in the upper left corner of the windows. They
are available from your local fire department.
Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice allows you to test your plan before an
emergency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do!
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS
o
Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting
dressed or picking up valuables.
o
In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke
seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If inside door is
cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke
rush in.
o
o
o
o
Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth, wet if possible.
Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is there.
Call the fire department from your neighbor's home – not from yours!
Don't return to your home until fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
YOUR COMBINATION SMOKE/CO ALARM IS WARRANTED TO OPERATE
FOR FIVE YEARS.
NOTE: MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF ALARM FIVE
YEARS AFTER DATE OF PURCHASE.
Activation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide
(CO) which can kill you. If the CO alarm sounds:
1. Operate test/reset button;
(Phone No.
)
2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911;
3. Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count
to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move
away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived,
the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps
(Phone No.
)
1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician;
to
investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances and inspect
for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection,
have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers' instructions or contact the
manufacturer(s) directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment.
Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached
garage or adjacent to the residence.

INSTALLING THE COMBINATION SMOKE/CO ALARM
FOR RESIDENTIAL USE
LOCATION
Before installing your combination smoke/CO alarm, it is important to choose the best
locations in your home. Placement can affect how well the alarm performs and how well
residents hear the alarm if it sounds. Statistics of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) show that most of the fatal CO occurrences happen at night while people are
sleeping.
Early warning of CO is best achieved by the installation of CO alarms on all floors and
areas of the household.
RECOMMENDATIONS
– Put a CO alarm inside each bedroom where the occupant closes the door while sleeping.
Particulate smoke can be blocked by a closed door, but CO fumes are likely to get
through.
– A CO alarm should be installed between 5 and 20 feet from potential sources of CO in
any family living unit containing a fuel-burning appliance or fireplace or having an attached
garage.
– A combination smoke/CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate
sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. Where bedrooms are separated
and audibility of the alarm to occupants within the bedroom area could be seriously
impaired, more than one unit could be needed.
– If a bedroom area hallway is more than 30 feet long, install a smoke alarm at each end.
– Alarms can alert you to a problem only after smoke or CO reach their sensors. Choose
locations free of obstructions, where the alarm will stay clean and protected from adverse
environmental conditions.
– Install a smoke or combination alarm on the basement ceiling at the bottom of the stairwell.
– Make sure the alarms can be easily heard from multiple locations throughout the home.
– This combination smoke/CO alarm makes it easy to provide both types of protection
throughout the home.
– This combination smoke/CO alarm is designed to be used in single-family homes. It
alone may not meet requirements for multiple-resident dwellings (apartment buildings,
boarding houses, hotels or motels).
– Some codes may require that smoke alarms be interconnected in new construction.

Mobile Home Installation:
For minimum protection, smoke alarms should be installed in compliance with H.U.D. Manufactured
Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Section 3280.208 and Section 3282. For additional
protection, see Single Story Residence smoke alarm requirements/recommendations for Existing Homes
and New Construction Homes.
Note: For mobile homes built before 1978, install smoke alarms on inside walls between 4” and 12” from
the ceiling (older mobile homes have little or no insulation in the ceiling). This is especially important if
the ceiling is unusually hot or cold.
Install a smoke alarm inside each bedroom and in the hallway outside each separate sleeping area.
AVOID THESE LOCATIONS
the garage – products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.
in areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near dishwashers or washing machines.
Install at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from these areas.
•
•
•
•
in areas of turbulent air such as air returns or heating and cooling supply vents. Install at least 3
feet (0.9 meters) away from these areas.

NBC (BOCA): OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or building codes that may apply. Wiring
and installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines
may result in injury or property damage.
This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120V AC 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be
turned off by a switch, dimmer or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to connect this unit
to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection.
IMPORTANT: Do not subject this alarm to megger, high voltage or high-pot tests. Remove the
alarm(s) before high-potting tests occur on the circuit or system. (Ref. Section 550-17, National
Electric Code, 2002 Edition).
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off power to the area where you will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box
before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in
serious electrical shock, injury or death.
TAMPER LOCKING PIN: To make your alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a locking pin has been
provided (break-away part of mounting plate). Using this tamper pin will deter children and others
from removing the alarm from the mounting plate. To use the tamper pin, insert it into the hole in the
side of the alarm after the alarm has been installed on the mounting plate. Using long nose pliers,
pull the tamper pin out of the hole. It is now possible to remove the alarm from the mounting plate.

For units that are used as single alarms, do not connect the yellow wire to anything. Insulate
this wire (tape it) in place to make certain the yellow wire cannot contact any metal parts.
This alarm can share the interconnect wire of carbon monoxide, smoke and heat alarms. The
alarm will automatically sound a smoke alarm signal if smoke is detected by this unit or any
other interconnected smoke alarm, even if the unit is already detecting carbon monoxide and
sounding the carbon monoxide alarm signal.
Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone units, especially if a
fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. This combination alarm may be interconnected
with as many as 11 other Universal model smoke alarms such as SS-795, SS-790, SS-911,
SS-2795, SS-2895 and SS-785 and 6 other units which may be a combination of Carbon
MonoxideAlarms such as CD-9385, CD-9390, CD-9485, CD-9490, HeatAlarms/HD-130 or Relay
Modules/RM-100 for a total of not more than 18 interconnected devices.
Interconnected CO alarms will only respond if a CO alarm/event initiates the alarm. All other
alarms remain silent.
NOTE: Relay modules/RM-100 will not respond if a CO alarm/event initiates the alarm.
Interconnected smoke alarms, heat alarms and relay modules will only respond if a smoke
alarm/event or heat alarm/event initiates the alarm. All CO alarms remain silent.
NOTE: Units without battery backup will not respond during an AC power failure.
INPUT:
120 VAC
60 HZ
100 mA
The yellow wire is used only for multiple station operation with Universal Model alarms
only. Connecting this yellow wire to any other circuits may result in damage. When alarms
are interconnected, all units must be powered from a single AC branch circuit. If local
codes do not permit be sure the neutral wire is common to both phases. The maximum
wire run distance between the first and last alarm/device in an interconnected system is
1,000 feet. NOTE: Use standard household wire (18 gauge or larger, rated at least 300V, as
required by local codes) available at all electrical supply/hardware stores.
The wiring to be used shall be in accordance with the provisions of Articles 210 and
300.3(B) of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In addition, the resistance of the
interconnecting wiring shall be a maximum of 10 Ohms.

7. Turn on AC power and press the TEST/RESET button. Check the LED's for proper operation
(see "TESTING YOUR ALARM"). After test sequence, the Green LED lights to indicate AC
power and blinks off approximately every 20 seconds to indicate proper operation.
OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION: The alarm is operating once the power is connected and turned on (the battery must
also be installed).
SMOKE/COMBUSTION PRODUCTS ALARM CONDITION: When products of combustion are
sensed, the unit sounds a loud SMOKE alarm pattern which continues until the air is cleared. For
the SMOKE alarm pattern, this alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn signal for
evacuation. During smoke alarm mode, the horn produces three beeps followed by a two second
pause and then repeats.
CARBON MONOXIDE CONDITION: When CO is sensed at a high level or at a low level for a
lengthy period of time, the unit sounds a loud CO alarm pattern (4 short horn pulse, pause, repeat)
which continues until the air is cleared or the alarm is reset. The Red LED will flash on simultaneously
with the horn pulses.
SERVICE/TROUBLE CONDITION: Periodically, the alarm's circuitry is tested. If an error is detected,
the alarm will sound a double "beep" and the Yellow LED will flash on twice approximately every 40
seconds. If this occurs, reset your alarm (see "RESETTING YOUR ALARM"). If the SERVICE/
TROUBLE signal persists, it is an indication of circuit malfunction and that the alarm requires
immediate servicing.
TESTING YOUR ALARM: Test alarm weekly for proper operation by pushing, then releasing, the
TEST/SILENCE button. The alarm will then test itself for proper operation of BOTH the SMOKE and
CO detection and alarm circuits. The Red LED will begin to flash rapidly and the alarm will indicate
two cycles of the SMOKE alarm pattern. The Red LED will stop flashing during the second SMOKE
alarm pattern. This will be followed by two cycles of the CO alarm pattern, during which the Green
LED is off, the Yellow LED is on and the Red LED flashes on simultaneously with the horn pulses.
RESETTING YOUR ALARM: To reset your alarm, initiate the Test cycle per TESTING YOUR ALARM
above. While the alarm is indicating the CO alarm patterns of the Test Cycle, press the TEST/
SILENCE button again and HOLD it until the Test Cycle is completed (when the Yellow LED turns
off, approximately 5 seconds).
STANDBY (NON-ALARM) CONDITION: Whenever AC power is present, the Green LED is on and
blinks off approximately every 20 seconds and the Red LED is off and flashes on every 40 seconds.
If powered by the backup battery (DC) only, both the Green and the Red LED's are off and flash on
every 40 seconds.
LOCAL (ORIGINATING ALARM) CONDITION: For BOTH the SMOKE and CO alarm conditions,
the Red LED flashes on rapidly and the unit emits a loud, pulsating alarm (refer to the OPERATION
section to differentiate between the SMOKE and CO alarm patterns).
REMOTE (NON-ORIGINATING ALARM) CONDITION: For BOTH the SMOKE and CO alarm
conditions, the Red LED is off and the unit emits a loud, pulsating alarm (refer to the OPERATION
section to differentiate between the SMOKE and CO patterns).
INITIATING ALARM INDICATOR (IAI) CONDITION: Whenever a unit comes out of the LOCAL
ALARM CONDITION, it will display an IAI until manually reset (see "RESETTING YOUR ALARM").
If the unit indicated a SMOKE alarm, the IAI is the Red LED flashing on for 1 second every 5
seconds. If the unit indicated a CO alarm, the IAI is the Green LED which flashes on for 1 second,
then off for 1 second and then repeats this cycle until it is manually reset (see "RESETTING YOUR
ALARM").

NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You 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. (UL).
If you choose to use an aerosol smoke product to test the smoke alarm, be certain to use one
that has been Listed to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Safety Standards and use it only as
directed. Use of non-UL Listed products or improper use of UL Listed products may affect
the smoke alarm's sensitivity.
Before using the alarm "test/silence" feature, identify the source of smoke or CO and be
certain that safe conditions exist.
FALSEALARMS "TEST/SILENCE" CONTROL: Units with the "silence" feature have the capability
of temporarily reducing the sensitivity of the smoke alarm circuit for approximately 3-9 minutes. This
feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition such as smoke from cooking activates the
smoke alarm. The smoke alarm "silence" feature is activated by pushing the Test/Silence button on
the smoke alarm cover for at least three seconds. The smoke alarm will automatically reduce sensitivity
and the Red LED will light for approximately 3-9 minutes to indicate the alarm is in the temporary
silent condition. The smoke alarm will gradually regain normal sensitivity and sound the alarm if
particles of combustion are still present. The "silence" feature may be used repeatedly until the air
has cleared.
When AC power is lost, the Green LED is off and flashes on approximately every 40 seconds.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Turn off power at main service panel by removing fuse or
switching appropriate circuit breaker to OFF position before replacing battery or cleaning
smoke and CO alarm.
MAINTENANCE: This combination alarm is virtually maintenance free. However, under dusty
conditions, a vacuum hose may be used to clear the sensing chamber of dust.
Clean the alarm at least once a month to remove dust, dirt or debris. Always turn off power to
alarm before cleaning. Using a soft brush or wand attachment to a vacuum cleaner, vacuum all
sides and cover of alarm. Be sure all the vents are free of debris.
The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use any household cleaning
agents, ammonia-based cleaners, paints, varnishes or any other chemical on or near your alarm.
AFTER CLEANING, REINSTALL YOUR ALARM. TEST YOUR ALARM BY USING THE TEST
BUTTON.
If the smoke/CO alarm is false alarming or indicating service and cannot be restored to normal
operation, the alarm should be replaced.

BACKUPBATTERY REPLACEMENT
Disconnect AC power before changing battery. Shock hazard exists if AC power is
miswired.
This alarm uses a 9 VoltAlkaline battery. The battery should last for at least one year under normal
operating conditions. The alarm has a low battery indicator, an audible "beep." It will operate at 30-
40 second intervals for a minimum of 7 days. When this indication occurs, replace the battery with
anAlkaline type (Eveready Energizer #522, Duracell #MN1604), or Lithium type (ULTRALIFE U9VL-
J), from your local retailer. Use the convenient QUICK DRAW pull-out battery drawer for easy
battery replacement.
Slide the QUICK DRAW pull-out battery drawer open and remove the battery. While observing
polarity, push the replacement battery into the battery drawer until it is held securely in place. Carefully
close the QUICK DRAW pull-out battery drawer.
Use only the batteries specified. Use of different batteries may have a detrimental effect on
the alarm. The constant exposures to high or low temperatures or high humidity may reduce
battery life.
When battery door is open, the battery will not power the alarm even if the battery is properly
installed. If AC power for the alarm is disconnected, interrupted or not present for any reason,
the battery backup will not power the alarm and your protection will be removed.
Do not attempt to repair this combination alarm. Doing so will void your warranty.
