1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS  
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to protect the exit path as the  
bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional  
alarms in each sleeping area.  
DIAGRAM “C”  
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION  
Mobile homes built in the past 10 years have been designed to be energy efficient. Install smoke  
alarms as recommended above (refer to RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS and Diagram A).  
In mobile homes that are not well insulated compared to present standards, extreme heat or cold can  
be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly insulated walls and roof. This may create a  
thermal barrier which can prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted on the ceiling. In such  
units, install the smoke alarm on an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 4” (10  
cm) and a maximum of 12” (30.5 cm) below the ceiling (see Diagram A).  
• Locate additional alarms to protect any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.  
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.  
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.  
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are operated (i.e. portable heaters or  
humidifiers).  
If you are not sure about the insulation in your mobile home, or if you notice that the outer walls and  
ceiling are either hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. For minimum protection, install at least  
one alarm close to the bedrooms. For additional protection, see SINGLE FLOOR PLAN in Diagram B.  
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed. The closed door may  
prevent the alarm from waking the sleeper.  
• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread horizontally. Mounting the  
smoke alarm on the ceiling in the center of the room places it closest to all points in the room.  
Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction.  
WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER R.V. OR MOBILE HOME VEHICLE  
HAS BEEN IN STORAGE, BEFORE EACH TRIP AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.  
 
• Make certain alarms are wired to a continuous (non-switched) power line. NOTE: Use standard UL  
listed household wire (18 gauge or larger as required by local codes) available at all electrical sup-  
ply stores and most hardware stores.  
2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID  
• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your automobile.  
• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.  
• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF.  
• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarms or failure to alarm.  
• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.  
• In insect infested areas.

• The appropriate power source is 120 Volt A.C. Single Phase supplied from a non-switchable circuit  
which is not protected by a ground fault interrupter.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
See Maintenance (Section 6) for battery installation  
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR A.C. QUICK CONNECT HARNESS  
CAUTION! TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER TO THE CIRCUIT BEFORE WIRING THE ALARM.  
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD DOWN IN THE BATTERY  
• For alarms that are used as single station, DO NOT CONNECT THE RED WIRE TO ANYTHING.  
Leave the red wire insulating cap in place to make certain that the red wire cannot contact any  
metal parts or the electrical box.  
COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, THE A.C. QUICK  
CONNECTOR WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE ALARM, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO  
THE TRIM RING (SEE SECTION 6, FIGURE 5).  
• When alarms are interconnected, all interconnected units must be powered from a single circuit.  
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!  
• A maximum of 24 Lifesaver devices may be interconnected in a multiple station arrangement. The  
interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of 12 smoke alarms and/or 18  
alarms total (smoke, heat, etc.) With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up  
to a total of 6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.  
1. Remove the trim ring from the back of the alarm by holding the trim ring and twisting the alarm in  
the direction indicated by the “OFF” arrow on the alarm cover.  
• When mixing models which have battery backup (1275, 1275H, 1285, PE 120, PI2000, HD135F)  
with models without battery backup (1235, 120X, SL177i) be advised that the models without bat-  
tery backup will not respond during an AC power failure.  
2. After selecting the proper smoke alarm location as described in Section 1 and wiring the A.C.  
QUICK CONNECT harness as described in the WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, attach the trim ring to the  
electrical box.  
3. Pull the A.C. QUICK CONNECTOR through the center hole in the trim ring and mount the ring,  
making sure that the mounting screws are positioned in the small ends of the keyholes before  
tightening the screws.  
• The maximum wire run distance between the first and last unit in an interconnected system is  
1000 feet.  
• Figure 1 illustrates interconnection wiring. Improper connection will result in damage to the alarm,  
failure to operate, or a shock hazard.  
4. Plug the A.C. QUICK CONNECTOR into the back of the alarm (see Figure 2), making sure that the  
locks on the connector snap into place. Then push the excess wire back into the electrical box  
through the hole in the center of the trim ring.  
 
5. If you have finished all the WIRING, BATTERY INSTALLATION AND TRIM RING MOUNTING  
STEPS, you can install the alarm on the trim ring. Note: The alarm will mount to the trim ring in 4  
positions (every 90 degrees).  
4. OPERATION AND TESTING  
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once A.C. power is applied, a fresh battery is installed and  
testing is complete. When the alarm detects smoke, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm  
until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.  
6. Install the alarm on the trim ring and rotate the alarm in the direction of the “ON” arrow on the  
cover until the alarm rachets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aesthetic alignment).  
7. Turn on the A.C. power. The green A.C. Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is  
operating from A.C. power.  
HUSH CONTROL: The “HUSH” feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit  
for approximately 10 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as  
smoke from cooking activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the “HUSH” but-  
ton on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately and the  
red LED will flash every 2 seconds for approximately 10 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a  
temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 10 min-  
utes, and sound the alarm if smoke is still present. The “HUSH” feature can be used repeatedly until the  
air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will  
end the hush period.  
FIGURE 2. SELECT CORRECT MOUNTING HOLES ON TRIM RING  
TAMPER RESIST FEATURE: To make your smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a tamper resist  
feature has been provided. Activate the tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the  
square holes in the trim ring (see Figure 3). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on the  
base is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the trim ring until you hear the  
tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on the trim ring. Using the tamper resist feature will  
deter children and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. NOTE: To remove the alarm when the  
tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the trim  
ring (see Figure 4).  
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A  
CONTINUOUS ALARM.  
After installation, TEST your alarm by depressing and holding down the test button for several  
seconds. This should sound the alarm.  
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE  
SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.  
LED INDICATORS: This smoke alarm is equipped with red and green LED indicators. The red LED is  
located under the test button and has several modes of operation. The green LED is located under the  
“Hush” button and indicates the presence of AC power.  
Standby Condition  
Alarm Condition  
Hush Condition  
The red LED will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the smoke  
alarm is operating properly. The green LED will be steady on, indicating the  
presence of AC power.  
When the alarm senses products of combustion and goes into alarm,  
the red LED will flash rapidly (once every two seconds). The rapid flashing  
LED and temporal alarm will continue until the air is cleared.  
The red LED will flash every 2 seconds as long as the alarm in Hush.  
FIGURE 2  
Low Battery Condition The red LED flash will be accompanied by an audible chirp. Replace the  
battery when this condition occurs.  
Alarm Memory  
This smoke alarm is equipped with an alarm memory which provides a visual  
indication when an alarm has been activated. A steady on red LED  
indicates the memory condition. The memory will remain activated until it is  
reset by pushing the test button.  
A

In an interconnected installation only the memory of the originating alarm will be activated.  
Posts  
SMOKE SENSING CHAMBER OPERATION: This alarm will “chirp” if any of the components in the  
smoke sensing chamber fail. This chirp will occur between the flashes of the red LED indicator light. (If  
the chirp occurs at the same time as the red LED flash, see Section 6 for low battery information.)  
FIGURE 3  
FIGURE 4  
WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED, only the red LED of the alarm “which senses the smoke” or “is  
being tested” (the originating unit) will flash rapidly. All other units in the interconnect system will sound  
an alarm but their red LEDs will NOT flash rapidly.  
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it down for a minimum of 2 seconds.  
This will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry and horn and battery are working. If no alarm sounds,  
check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the alarm circuit. If the alarm still does not sound,  
 
the unit has defective batteries or other failure. DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you  
could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.  
This smoke alarm uses a 9V alkaline battery (a lithium battery may also be used). A fresh alkaline bat-  
tery should last for one year under normal operating conditions.  
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic or low sound coming from  
your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it should be returned for service (see Section 12).  
This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to “chirp’” approximately every  
30 - 40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery  
when this condition occurs.  
5. NUISANCE ALARMS  
USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR SMOKE ALARM REPLACEMENT.  
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the  
alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set  
off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles  
are generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside  
(non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the kitchen.  
Alkaline type  
Lithium type  
EVEREADY 522; DURACELL MX 1604, MN1604; GOLD PEAK 1604A  
ULTRALIFE U9VL  
After installing or changing the battery, reinstall your alarm. Test your alarm by using the test button and  
check that the green LED is on.  
Model PI2000 has a “HUSH” control that is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to  
nuisance alarms. For more information refer to Section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.  
NOTE: REGULAR TESTING IS REQUIRED.  
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call the fire department.  
If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the alarm.  
CLEANING YOUR ALARM: YOUR ALARM SHOULD BE CLEANED AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR  
To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the beginning of this section.  
You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum  
cleaner hose and blowing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The  
outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth. After cleaning, reinstall your alarm and test your  
alarm by using the test button. If cleaning does not restore the alarm to normal operation the alarm  
should be replaced. After cleaning, reinstall your alarm. Test your alarm by using the test button and  
check that the green LED is on.  
6. MAINTENANCE  
ALARM REMOVAL  
IF TAMPER RESIST FEATURE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED, REFER TO TAMPER RESIST FEATURE  
DESCRIPTION IN SECTION 3 FOR REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS.  
To replace the battery, remove the alarm from the trim ring by rotating the alarm in the direction of the  
“OFF” arrow on the cover. To disconnect the A.C. power harness, squeeze the locking arms on the  
sides of the Quick Connector while pulling the connector away from the bottom of the alarm (see  
Section 3, Figure 2)  
7. LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS  
WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY  
•NFPA 72 states: Life safety from fire in residential occupancies is based primarily on early notification  
to occupants of the need to escape, followed by the appropriate egress actions by those occu-  
pants. Fire warning systems for dwelling units are capable of protecting about half of the occupants  
in potentially fatal fires. Victims are often intimate with the fire, too old or young, or physically or  
mentally impaired such that they cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape  
should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted  
escape or rescue are necessary.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL  
To replace or install the batteries you must first remove the alarm from the trim ring by following the  
ALARM REMOVAL instructions at the beginning of this section. After alarm has been removed , you  
can open the battery door and install or replace the battery. Battery installation instructions are  
provided on the inside of the battery door.  
Battery  
finger  
Smoke alarms are devices that can provide early warning of possible fires at a reasonable cost;  
however, alarms have sensing limitations. Ionization type alarms offer a broad range of fire sensing  
capabilities but are better at detecting fast flaming fires than slow smoldering fires. Photoelectric  
alarms sense smoldering fires better than flaming fires. Home fires develop in different ways and are  
often unpredictable. Neither type of alarm (photoelectric or ionization) is always best, and a  
given alarm may not always provide warning of a fire.  
FIGURE 5  
A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condition and installed  
properly.  
When installing the battery, press the battery reminder finger down into the battery compartment and  
install the battery (see Figure 5).  
A.C. powered alarms will not operate if the A.C. power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire  
or an open fuse.  
CAUTION! IF THE BATTERY REMINDER FINGER IS NOT HELD DOWN IN THE BATTERY  
COMPARTMENT BY THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, THE A.C. QUICK  
CONNECTOR WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE ALARM, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT ATTACH TO THE  
TRIM RING.  
Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good  
operating condition.  
 
b) leaving children home alone  
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline  
Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the alarm. Therefore, smoke  
alarms may not sense fires starting in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door  
or on a different floor.  
Further information on fire safety can be obtained in a pamphlet titled “IN A FIRE SECONDS  
COUNT” published by the NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269  
If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different floor, it may not wake up a sound  
sleeper.  
The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair ones ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum  
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.  
9. NRC INFORMATION  
Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early warning of a fire, they are not a  
substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to  
protect their lives and property.  
The ionization portion of this smoke alarm uses a very small amount of a radioactive element in the  
sensing chamber to enable detection of visible and invisible combustion products. The radioactive ele-  
ment is safely contained in the chamber and requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke  
alarm meets or exceeds all government standards. It is manufactured and distributed under license  
from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  
10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION  
The National Fire Protection Associations Standard 72 provides the following information:  
8. GOOD SAFETY HABITS  
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE  
• Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two (2) escape routes from each  
room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder.  
Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the  
bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding  
crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each  
sleeping room.  
• Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing everyone what to do in case of fire.  
• Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if a fire occurs.  
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might  
not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas pro-  
tected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consid-  
er the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas  
include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected  
by the required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or  
unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as these locations occasionally experience condi-  
tions that can result in improper operation.  
• Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and train them to leave your home when  
they hear it.  
• Practice a fire drill at least every six months. Practice allows you to test your plan before an emer-  
gency. You may not be able to reach your children. It is important they know what to do.  
• Install and maintain fire extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement and  
garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.  
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Associations  
Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).  
NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND INSURANCE COMPANY OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM  
INSTALLATION.  
WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS  
• Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste time getting dressed  
or picking up valuables.  
11. CAUTION (AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE  
FIRE MARSHAL)  
“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms  
and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the  
vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or smoke detectors in the living rooms, dining  
rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, base-  
ments and attached garages.”  
• 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 the inside of the  
door is cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and  
smoke rush in.  
• Stay close to the floor if the 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 neighbors home - not from yours!  
• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.  
12. SERVICE AND WARRANTY  
There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the NFPA
