[. . . ] SMD-426, SMD-427 Supervised Wireless PowerG Smoke / Heat and Smoke Detector 1. INTRODUCTION SMD-426 (smoke detector) and SMD-427 (heat and smoke detector) are automatic fire detectors with integral audible signal for open area protection, designed to sense heat or smoke (not flame) and fitted with a PowerG type transceiver. SMD-426 / SMD-427 provides early warning of developing fire by sounding an alarm with its built-in alarm horn, and by transmitting a coded alarm signal to a PowerG receiver or to a compatible wireless alarm control panel. SMD-427 will activate a fire alarm upon either smoke or heat (temperature rate-of-rise) condition. [. . . ] Pull the detector outward to verify that it is securely attached. A battery must be inserted into the detector before the detector can be mounted onto the bracket. Unauthorized removal of the unit from the bracket will initiate a tamper alert! A B D C 1 2 8. This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit or offices, which means that it should be used inside a single family home or apartment or office. Please refer to NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA72 for smoke detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as "households". The smoke detector will not sense a fire if the smoke does not reach the sensor. In order for a smoke detector to sense smoke, it must be installed in the immediate vicinity of the fire. In addition, smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, in remote parts of the building, or on another level from where the smoke detector is located, may not reach the smoke detector quickly enough for occupants to escape unharmed. For this reason, installer shall install smoke detectors on every level, in every sleeping area and in every bedroom of the household. The alarm horn in this smoke detector meets or exceeds current Underwriter's Laboratories standards. However, if the smoke detector is not located in the same room as the occupant or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal noise, the alarm horn may not be heard. In addition, sound sleepers, or persons who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not hear the alarm or be able to react to it. Therefore, locate this smoke detector, which has a sounder rated at 85 dB at 10 feet, on every level, in every sleeping area and in every bedroom of the household. This detector, if used as a stand-alone unit, will not alert people who are hard of hearing. In general, detectors 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 or arson. Like all electronic devices, smoke detectors have limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In addition, smoke from slow, smoldering fires rises slowly and may not reach the smoke detector until actual flame breaks out. This type of smoke may not reach the smoke detector in time for occupants to escape unharmed. Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life or property insurance. Though smoke detectors have been responsible for saving many lives, they are not warranted or implied to protect lives or property in the event of fire. These wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. [. . . ] The Manufacturer shall not be responsible for dismantling and/or reinstallation costs.
