● In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or outdoor
rooms. If the temperature goes above or below the operating range of
smoke detector, it will not work properly. The operating temperature range
for your smoke detector is 40 oF to 100 oF (4 oC to 38 oC).
● In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the detector's
sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive. Additionally, dust or dirt can
block openings to the sensing chamber and keep the detector from sensing
smoke.
● Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners, heaters or fans,
fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away from smoke detectors.
● Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the corners
between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a
detector. See Figures 4 and 5 for recommended mounting locations.
● In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector's sensing chamber, they
may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a problem, get rid of them
before putting up a detector.
● Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from fluorescent lights may cause
nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from
such lights.
Warning : Never remove batteries to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window
or fan the air around the detector to get rid of the smoke. The alarm will turn
itself off when the smoke is gone. If nuisance alarms persist, attempt to clean
the detector as described in this User's Manual.
Warning : Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. The
alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency. Too much exposure to
the horn at close range may be harmful to your hearing.
Installing your smoke detectors
Our smoke detectors DAAF 1Y-CE-PS are to be mounted on the ceiling or on
the wall if necessary. Since our smoke detector DAAF 1Y-CE-PS is a single-
station type, it cannot be linked to other detectors. Read "LOCATIONS TO
INSTALL YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS" and "LOCATIONS NOT TO INSTALL YOUR
SMOKE DETECTORS" section in this Manual first, and then decide where to
install a detector.Please follow these steps to install your smoke detector:
