2GIG-SMKE1-345WIRELESSPHOTOELECTRICSMOKEALARMInstallation InstructionsPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe 2GIG-SMKE1-345 is a photoelectric smoke alarm with a built-in transmitter designed for use with the 2GIG-CNTRL-345 security system. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud local alarm. Twenty seconds after the local alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to the Control Panel. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is still present.The 2GIG-SMKE1-345 detector can send four different signals: alarm, test, low battery, and status.The Control Panel must be programmed to the detector’s serial number before system testing and operation. Refer to the Control Panel’s instructions for details on programming.The detector is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. The battery is supplied with the detector and can power the unit for up to fi ve years. If the battery voltage drops below a preset level the alarm will sound low battery beeps and a low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel.Every hour, the detector will send a status transmission to the Control Panel. The hourly signal updates the Control Panel with the detector’s condition. By monitoring status transmissions, the Control Panel can determine that the detector is still present in the installation and if it has a low battery.Maintenance: Occasionally clean the outside casing with a cloth. Ensure that the holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust. Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach, or polish on the detector.REMOVE PROTECTIVE COVERREMOVE MOUNTING PLATE REMOVE BATTERY TAB CHOOSE ALARM LOCATIONINSTALL MOUNTING PLATE PROGRAM CONTROL PANEL MOUNT ALARM ON PLATETechnical Support866-670-1591www.2gig.comREMOVE PROTECTIVE COVER AND DISCARDTWIST MOUNTINGPLATE TO UNLOCKREMOVEMOUNTING PLATEPULL TO CONNECTBATTERIESREMOVEBATTERY TABTO APPLYPOWER3-VOLT LITHIUM BATTERY TYPES: DURACELL DL123A, PANASONIC CR123A, SANYO CR123A, ADEMCO 466SCREWANCHORSFOR WALLBOARDPLASTICSINGLE-GANGELECTRICAL BOXORPRESS AND RELEASETEST BUTTON TOSEND SIGNALREFER TO CONTROL PANEL'S INSTRUCTIONS TO PREPARE RECEIVER TO ACCEPT THE DETECTOR'SSERIAL NUMBERA TEST SIGNALWILL BE SENTAS SOON AS THESWITCH IS RELEASEDCONTROL PANELDETECTORTWIST SMOKEALARM CLOCKWISETO LOCK ONTO MOUNTING PLATEMATCH ALIGNMENT TABS IN PLATE WITH TABS IN COVERPRINTERS INSTRUCTIONS INSTR,INSTL,2GIG-SMKE1-345 - P/N: 229910 X3 - INK: BLACK - MATERIAL: 20 LB.

TEST SYSTEM LOW BATTERY CONDITIONWhen the alarm detects a low battery, the sounder will chirp and the red LED will blink every 45 seconds. The green LED will be off. Pressing the test switch will silence the chirp for 12 hours but will not affect the LEDs. During this silence period, the test switch is disabled. If an alarm condition occurs while the detector is in this chirp silence mode, the alarm will sound. Once the alarm condition has been removed and the detector returns to the standby state, the low battery chirp will resume every 45 seconds.STANDARD FOR ALARM LOCATIONThe smoke alarm should be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 72, which reads as follows:2-1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of 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 unfi nished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm shall be installed in each sleeping room.2-1.1.2 For family living units with one or more split levels (i.e., adjacent levels with less than one full story separation between levels), a smoke alarm required by 2-1.1.1 shall suffi ce for an adjacent lower level, including basements. (Exception: Where there is an intervening door between one level and the adjacent lower level, a smoke alarm shall be installed on the lower level.)✔ Ceiling mounted smoke alarms should be located in the center of the room or hall, or not less than 4 inches from any wall. When the alarm is mounted on a wall, the top of the alarm should be 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling.✔ Do not install smoke alarms where normal ambient temperatures are above 100°F (37.8°C), or below 40°F (4°C). Also, do not locate alarm in front of air conditioners, heating registers, or other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke from entering the detector. A-2.5.2.1 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 protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder consider 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 smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (fi nished or unfi nished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for the purpose.The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fi re in its early stages, and sound an alarm giving the occupants more time to exit the premise before the smoke reaches a dangerous concentration level.Fires start even with the best of housekeeping and fi re prevention procedures. Fire is an unexpected event. Early warning detection alerts occupants in time to act.KNOW FIRE HAZARDS. No detection device can protect life in all situations. Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid such potentially dangerous situations as: smoking in bed, leaving children home alone, cleaning with fl ammable liquids such as gasoline.The best fi re protection is minimizing fi re hazards through proper storage of materials and general good housekeeping techniques. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage area is an open invitation to fi re.Careless use of combustible materials and electrical appliances, or overloading of electrical outlets are other prime causes in starting fi res.It is most important that explosive and/or fast burning materials be eliminated from the home, if at all possible.Even after proper precautions have been taken, fi res can start. Be prepared.FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPEIN CASE OF FIRE. Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables. In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low - crawl if necessary. The clearest air is usually at the fl oor.If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem relatively cool, brace your foot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fi re tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all the household realizes and understands this danger.Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fi re alarm box. The job of extinguishing the fi re should be left to the professionals. Too many unforeseen things can occur when inexperienced people try to extinguish a fi re.BE PREPARED. Perform fi re drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal. For your protection, simulate different circumstances (smoke in hall, in living room, etc.). Then have everyone react to the situation.Draw a fl oor plan and show two exits from each room. Frequently a knotted rope or ladder from a window will serve this purpose. It is important that children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis.It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established. You should insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone re-entering the house for a missing member who is actually safe.If you have children and/or invalids residing in your household, you can help your fi re department. Most fi re departments have window decals available for use in children’s or invalid’s bedrooms. Properly used, these decals will quickly identify sleeping quarters of these individuals and show the fi re department where to look fi rst for members of your household.✔ Additional information on Household Fire Warning is available at nominal cost from: The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
