Nova 30 Wireless Supervised TM Photoelectric Smoke Detector Installation Instructions GENERAL DESCRIPTION Nova 30 is a battery-powered photoelectric smoke detector with a built-in supervised wireless transmitter. When sufficient smoke is detected or the test feature is operated, the detector will sound its alarm horn and the transmitter will send an ALARM message. If the alarm condition remains, the message will be repeated 2 or more times (with 65 second intervals). The Alarm output in the receiver will remain activated until the alarm condition is cleared. The smoke alarm provides the following features: Smoke Alarm/base lock discourages unauthorized removal of the smoke alarm by requiring a screwdriver to remove the alarm from the base. CleanMe™ Self-diagnostics monitors its own sensitivity and operational status. If the smoke alarms drifts out of the sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics, it extinguishes its LED Selecting a Location Internal Signal Outputs Selecting a suitable location is critical to the operation of The smoke alarm provides the following signals for smoke alarms. This equipment should be installed in interfacing: accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s • Alarm (NFPA) Standard 72. See Figure 2. • Alarm restore • Low battery A-8-1.2.1.C Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? • Maintenance alert (Visible only) 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 (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. Important: Regulations pertaining to smoke alarm installations vary from state to state. For more information, contact your local fire department or local authority having jurisdiction. 1

In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location instructions on the canned smoke or use the following guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the steps to test the alarm with smoke: chance of false alarms from the alarm: • Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms in the center of a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or partitions. • Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms so the top of the alarm is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling. • Locate in a suitable environment as follows: − Temperature between 40ºF (4.4ºC) and 100ºF (37.8ºC)) − Humidity between 0 and 95% non- condensing • Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers and any other ventilation source that may interfere with smoke entering the alarm. • Mount smoke alarms on a firm permanent surface. • Locate away from large metallic objects when listed with a transmitter. Installing the Alarm 1. If you are using the alarm/base lock, remove the two knockouts on the mounting base. See Figure 3. 2. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the alarm to unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure 4. 3. Follow the write mode procedure as described in the receiver installation of the operational manual. 4. Observing proper polarity, insert two 3V lithium batteries into the alarm battery compartment and replace the battery compartment cover. 5.

Testing the Alarm Sensitivity The smoke alarm provides a sensitivity level test mode that allows you to check the smoke alarms sensitivity using the Test/Silence button and the LED indicator on the alarm as follows: 1. Press the Test/Silence button on the smoke alarm for 2 seconds. Once the test starts, the alarm LED flashes one to nine times. 2. Count the number of times the LED flashes and use the following table to determine the status of the smoke sensitivity and what action to take, if any.

Verify that the smoke chambers is snapped down securely. Clean the unit and replace the smoke chamber. After the flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests pass, the alarm goes into alarm and resets after 3 seconds. If the sensitivity is not within limits, or an unserviceable hardware fault has been detected, the smoke alarm LED extinguishes until the alarm is serviced. Attaching and Removing the Smoke Alarm To remove the smoke alarm from the mounting base, grasp the alarm and turn it counterclockwise approximately 15 degrees. The smoke alarm should snap off of the mounting base. To remove the alarm from the mounting base when the alarm/base lock is used, insert a small screwdriver into the locking tab slot on the side of the base and press in while simultaneously turning the alarm counterclockwise 15 degrees. See Figure 5. Attach the smoke alarm to its mounting base as follows: − Line up the raised tab on the lip of the smoke alarm with slot on the lip of the mounting base. See Figure 4. − Insert the smoke alarm into the base and turn clockwise approximately 15 degrees. It should snap firmly into place.

When the batteries are low, the alarm extinguishes its LED and chirps every 30 seconds until the batteries are replaced. The sounder can be silenced for 24 hours by pushing the Test/Silence button. 3

Replacing the Batteries Use only 3V lithium A batteries as listed on the battery compartment cover. 1. Remove the alarm from the mounting base. See Attaching and Removing the Alarm. 2. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the alarm to unsnap it and lift it off. See Figure 4. 3. Remove the batteries and dispose of properly. 4. Observing correct polarity, insert two new 3V lithium batteries into the battery compartment and replace the cover. 5. Reattach the alarm to the mounting base. See Attaching and Removing the Alarm. 6. Test the alarm (see Smoke Testing the Alarm). Cleaning the Smoke Chamber Clean the alarm cover with a dry or damp (water) cloth as needed to keep it free from dust and dirt When necessary, clean the alarm interior and replace the smoke chamber as follows: 1. Remove the chamber from its mounting base. See Attaching and Removing the Alarm. 2. Remove the batteries. See Replacing the Batteries. 3. Slide a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot on the alarm cap and gently push the handle down to pry the cap up and off. See Figure 6. 4.

FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the premises safely. Avoid Fire Hazards No detection device can protect life in all situations. Be Prepared Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows: Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire: • Do not smoke in bed • Do not leave children home alone • Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure • Never clean with flammable liquids such as recognition of an alarm signal. gasoline. • Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each • Properly store materials, Use general good room.

Be prepared. • If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing in your household, use window In Case of Fire decals to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping quarters of these individuals. In the event of a fire, you should do the following: • 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 near ! WARNING! the floor. Smoke alarms CANNOT provide warnings for fires • If you have to go through a closed door, carefully resulting from explosions, smoking in bed or other feel the door and door knob to see if undue heat is furniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases, present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against children playing with matches or lighters. 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 fire tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all members of the household realizes and understands this danger. • Use your neighbor's phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals. 5
