Resumen del manual
WARNING: Use only the batteries specified above. Use of different batteries than the recommended ones, may have a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once a year, or at the same time you change your clocks for daylight saving time. Be sure to follow the battery installation instructions printed on the back of the alarm. NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED! NOTE: If after battery replacement the unit continues to chirp, wait for approximately 7 minutes. The Hush® feature may have been activated accidentally while changing the battery(ies) and will reset automatically. M a i n t e n a n c e Cleaning the Alarm The alarm should be cleaned at least once a year. • To clean your alarm, remove it from the mounting plate as outlined in previous sections. You can clean the alarm by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose with a soft brush attachment. Blow or vacuum around the perimeter of the alarm to remove dust and dirt. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth (do not use a wet cloth to avoid water entering the unit). • 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. • Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action will void your warranty. Replacing the Alarm The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Kidde recommend replacing this alarm ten years from the date code label (located on the back of the alarm). M a i n t e n a n c e Safety Light Model 0918CA NOTE: If the safety light appears dim during regular testing, replace both batteries immediately. Use only the following 9 volt batteries for powering the safet light: Alkaline Type Energizer 522 Duracell MN1604 or MX1604 These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer. The safety light has a 6.3 V 250mA fuse lamp with an average life of 50 hours. If the safety light fails to operate with a fresh alkaline battery, then replace the lamp. To replace the lamp, remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover (Image 3D, and Alarm Tamper Resist Feature section if this feature has been activated). Open the battery door and remove both batteries from the unit. Grip the lamp holder handle with your thumb and finger and pull out the lamp holder assembly. Slide the old lamp out of the lamp holder and replace it with a new lamp. Replace with the correct lamp type: Vanco #FTB 6 which is available at most radio/tv repair stores. Reinstall the lamp holder. It will snap easily into the base. Put working batteries back in the alarm and remount the alarm on its mounting bracket. CAUTION: Use only the lamp specified. Use of a different lamp may have a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm or the safety light operation. NOTE: The safety light is not intended to satisfy the requirements for approved illumination under various local codes. Very thick and/or dense smoke may obscure the light. 13 14 F i re Safety F i re Safety WARNING: Please read carefully and thoroughly. • NFPA Standard 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 occupants. 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-inplace or assisted escape or rescue are necessary. • 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. • A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specified type, in good condition and installed properly. • AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not operate if the AC power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire or an open fuse. • Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition. • 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 close...
