Kidde RF-SM-DC Bedienungsanleitung

Battery powered, wireless Smoke Alarm with SMART HUSH®Control to

temporarily silence nuisance alarms.

Thank you for purchasing a Kidde Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarm, part of

the Kidde Wireless System. It is an important part of your family’s home safety

plan. You can trust this product to provide the highest level of quality and per-

formance. We know you expect nothing less when the lives of your family are

at stake. This alarm, in combination with other Kidde Wireless products, pro-

vides you with an interconnected alarm system without having the inconven-

ience or extensive labor of rewiring your home. An interconnected alarm system

provides an earlier warning to smoke or fire by linking alarms so that when one

unit sounds, it will trigger all other units to sound, thereby giving a family more

time to escape. Kidde estimates that nearly 100 million U.S. homes either do

not have interconnected smoke alarms, or have limited coverage. For homes

that do have interconnected systems, this battery powered alarm can provide

additional fire protection in other areas of the home.

Wireless Smoke Alarm User’s Guide

Wireless, Battery-Powered, Single and/or Multiple Station (24 devices maximum,

see section 3) Ionization Smoke Alarm with Smart HUSH®Control to temporarily

silence nuisance alarms.

This alarm detects products of combustion using the ionization technique. It

contains 0.9 microcurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material (see section 9).

Distributed under U.S. NRC License No. 32-23858-01E. Manufactured in compli-

ance with U.S. NRC safety criteria in 10 CFR 32.27. The purchaser is exempt

from any regulatory requirements. Do not try to repair the smoke alarm your-

self. Refer to the instructions in Section 13 for service.

WARNING! Ionization sensing alarms may detect invisible fire parti-

cles (associated with fast flaming fires) sooner than photoelectric

alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles

(associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionization

alarms. Home fires develop in different ways and are often unpre-

dictable. For maximum protection, Kidde recommends that both

Ionization and Photoelectric alarms be installed.

WARNING! REMOVAL OF THE SMOKE ALARM BATTERIES WILL REN-

DER THE SMOKE ALARM INOPERATIVE.

IMPORTANT! READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION AND KEEP

THIS USER’S GUIDE NEAR THE ALARM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

This alarm is interconnect compatible with the following alarms and accessories:

• Smoke alarms: RF-SM-ACDC, and RF-SM-DC

1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to monitor

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.

• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as they act as chimneys for

smoke and heat.

• Locate at least one alarm on every floor.

• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.

• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances operate (i.e.

portable heaters or humidifiers).

• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door closed.

The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that room from waking

the sleeper. Kidde recommends installing a Wireless Smoke Sounder in all

rooms where older adults, individuals with partial hearing loss, and children

sleep.

• Smoke, heat, and combustion products rise to the ceiling and spread hori-

zontally. Mounting the smoke alarm in the center of the ceiling places it clos-

est to all points in the room. Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary resi-

dential construction.

• For mobile home installation, select locations carefully to avoid thermal barri-

ers that may form at the ceiling. For more details, see MOBILE HOME INSTAL-

LATION below.

• When mounting an alarm on the ceiling, locate it at a minimum of 4” (10

cm) from the sidewall (see figure 1).

• When mounting the alarm on the wall, use 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 figure 1).

• Put smoke alarms at both ends of a bedroom hallway or large room if the

hallway or room is more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.

• Install Smoke Alarms on sloped, peaked or cathedral ceilings at or within 3 ft

(0.9m) of the highest point (measured horizontally). NFPA 72 states: “Smoke

alarms in rooms with ceiling slopes greater than 1 ft in 8 ft (.3m in 2.4 m)

horizontally shall be located on the high side of the room.” NFPA 72 states:

“A row of detectors shall be spaced and located within 3 ft (0.9m) of the

peak of the ceiling measured horizontally” (see figure 3).

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Modern mobile homes have been designed and built to be energy efficient.

Install smoke alarms as recommended above, refer to RECOMMENDED LOCA-

TIONS and Figure 1. In older mobile homes that are not well insulated com-

pared 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 that 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 figure 1). 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 figure 2.

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.

2. LOCATIONS TO AVOID

• In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your auto-

mobile.

• Less than 4” (10cm) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2FIGURE 3

• In an area where the temperature may fall below 40ºF or rise above 100ºF,

such as garages and unfinished attics.

• In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or a failure to alarm.

• In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.

• In insect-infested areas.

• Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the

door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower,

forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling paddle or whole

house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.

• Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms. If a kitchen alarm is

desired, it should have an alarm silence feature or be a photoelectric type.

• Near fluorescent lights, amateur radios, electrical equipment or other devices

known to transmit an RF signal. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance

alarms.

• Near large metal surfaces and bundles of wire.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination

(alarm and guard) have been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT SETUP

1. Remove all your new Kidde Wireless Interconnect devices from their respec-

tive packages and place them in front of you.

DO NOT PLUG THEM IN OR INSTALL THE BATTERIES.

2. Find the 8-position dipswitch located on

the back of each device. For this model,

the dipswitch is located on the back of the

device (see figure 4).

3. Select one of the units. You will define the

ID of your system by positioning the

switches of the dipswitch in a random pat-

tern. The ID will need to be the same for

each alarm or accessory. This ID will differentiate your alarm system from

similar systems nearby. Do not use the default ID your units are shipped

with.

FIGURE 4

4. Using a pen or pencil, change the switches in each of the Kidde Wireless

devices to match the pattern you selected in step 3. Ensure that the

sequence is not reversed.

5. Power each unit after setting the ID by installing the batteries. The alarms

only read the ID that has been set when they are first supplied power. Any

changes to the switch after the unit is powered will not be recognized, and

will require the power to be removed for a minimum of 30 seconds before

powering again.

6. Push and hold the test button on each unit for at least 5 seconds, or until

all the devices produce an alarm. If all the units do not produce an alarm,

refer to the trouble-shooting section at the end of the user’s guide.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an arm’s

length away from the unit when testing.

7. Install the alarms in accordance with the user’s guide as described in section

1, and repeat step 6. Since wireless communication can be interrupted by

a number of factors, you must test your alarms weekly to ensure proper

communication between alarms.

8. Read the user’s guide and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

If your Wireless smoke alarms enter alarm mode, first check to see if

there is a fire. If a fire does not exist, and the test buttons have not

been activated on any of the units, it is likely that you are receiving

interference from a similar system nearby. In this case, repeat the above

steps and select a different dipswitch pattern, making sure to disconnect

power and remove the batteries before changing the switch positions.

A maximum of 24 devices may be interconnected in a multiple station arrange-

ment. The interconnect system should not exceed the NFPA interconnect limit of

12 smoke alarms and/or 18 alarms total (smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, etc.).

With 18 alarms interconnected, it is still possible to interconnect up to a total of

6 remote signaling devices and/or relay modules.

Kidde Wireless Battery-powered alarms CAN ONLY BE interconnected

with other Kidde Wireless alarms and accessories. Refer to User’s Guide

supplied with each Kidde product for lists of interconnect compatible

models, brands, and devices.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Batteries were not installed at the factory and must be installed for the

unit to operate!

Install the three (3) AA batteries in the back of the alarm.

• The mounting plate must be removed from the back of the unit to install

batteries. To remove, hold the mounting plate and twist counterclockwise

(left).

• The battery polarity markings on the bottom of the battery compartment

must be adhered to.

• Batteries must be installed in the sequence shown (see figure 5). If batteries

seem difficult to install, they’re not being installed in the proper sequence.

• Alarm will not engage to bracket unless all three batteries are installed.

Removal of any or all batteries will render the alarm inoperative.

CAUTION! Alarm will

not engage to bracket

unless all three batter-

ies are installed.

Removal of any or all

batteries will render

the alarm inoperative!

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!

1. Complete the steps in section 3, WIRELESS INTERCONNECT SETUP.

2. Remove mounting plate from the back of the unit by holding the rim of the

mounting plate and twisting counterclockwise (left).

Alignment Marks

Remove Install

3. Hold the mounting plate against the selected installation location (wall or

ceiling) and mark the center of the holes with a pencil. To ensure aesthetic

alignment of the alarm, the “A” line on the mounting plate should be par-

allel with the hallway when ceiling mounting, or horizontal when wall

mounting (see figure 6).

4. Drill a hole through the pencil marks and use the enclosed screws and

anchors to secure the mounting plate (use 3/16”drill bit for anchor holes).

5. Install the alarm on the mounting bracket and rotate the alarm clockwise

until the alarm ratchets into place (this ratcheting function allows for aes-

thetic alignment). NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in 4 positions

(every 90 degrees).

6. The green LED should blink once every 10 seconds.

7. Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the Test Button. All

interconnected alarms should respond.

CAUTION: Due to the loudness of the alarm, always stand an arm’s

length away from the unit when testing.

Tamper Resist Features

This alarm has a tamper resist feature, which helps prevent someone from

removing the unit from the mounting bracket. Activate the smoke alarm tamper

resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting

bracket (see figure 7A). 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

mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking

the alarm. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter children and others

from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To remove the alarm when

the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the tamper resist tab, and

rotate the alarm off the bracket (see figure 7B).

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION

The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries are installed and testing is

complete. When the smoke alarm ionization chamber senses products of com-

bustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sensing

chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

Smart HUSH®Control: The Smart HUSH®feature has the capability of temporari-

ly desensitizing the smoke sensing circuitry in order to quiet your alarm while

you take care of a non-emergency event. This feature is to be used only when a

known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm.

Activate Smart HUSH®control by pushing the button on the smoke alarm cover.

If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately. The green

LED will blink every 2 seconds for approximately 7 minutes to indicate that the

alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automati-

cally reset after approximately 7 minutes, and will sound again if particles of

combustion are still present. The Smart HUSH®feature can be used repeatedly

until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the

test button on the alarm will end the HUSH®period.

Remote HUSH®Control: Press the button on any Kidde Wireless device to acti-

vate the Smart HUSH®feature on the Kidde Wireless smoke alarm that is initiat-

ing an alarm. This allows you to enable the Smart HUSH®feature on an alarm

that may be installed in an area that is difficult to reach. This feature should

only be used when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, acti-

vates the alarm.

Low Battery HUSH®Control: When the batteries need to be replaced, the unit

will produce a low battery “chirp” once per minute. The Low Battery HUSH®

feature allows you to press the button on the alarm producing the warning and

disable the “chirp” for a random period of up to 12 hours. This gives you a

chance to replace the battery at a more convenient time without sacrificing your

safety by disconnecting the alarm from power. During this Low Battery HUSH®

period your alarm is performing normally and is not desensitized.

NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH®CONTROL FEATURE

AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH®FEATURE, IDENTIFY

THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION

EXISTS.

LED Indicator Operation

Red LED:

The red LED will flash in conjunction with the alarm beep. Therefore, the red

LED will flash during a smoke alarm, a low battery mode chirp and a unit error

mode chirp.

Green LED:

The green LED will illuminate as described below under the following conditions:

STANDBY CONDITION - The LED will flash approximately every 10 seconds.

INITIATING ALARM INDICATOR The LED will flash every second while

sounding an alarm to signify that the alarm sensed a smoke hazard. This

will only be displayed on the alarms that sensed smoke. The remaining

interconnected alarm(s) will sound but will not display the initiating indica-

tor. The initiating indicator varies from model to model. See the user’s

guide for each specific model of interconnected alarm for a description of

the initiating alarm indicator.

ALARM MEMORY CONDITION - The LED will flash every second signifying

that the alarm sensed a smoke hazard. It will continue to flash every sec-

ond until the test/reset button is pressed, thus resetting the alarm.

HUSH®MODE CONDITION - The LED will flash every 2 seconds while the

alarm is in HUSH®mode.

TESTING

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.

When testing, ensure that all units activate in response to a push to test from

another unit. This will verify that changes in your environment (i.e. moved furni-

ture, addition of electronic appliances) have not adversely effected the operation

of your wireless system.

Remote Push To Test: Test your Kidde Wireless alarm system by activating the test

button on any Kidde Wireless alarm for a minimum of 5 seconds, or until all of

the interconnected alarms sound. When the other alarms respond, this verifies

that both the alarms and the interconnect system are functioning properly.

It may take up to 12 seconds for your Wireless interconnected alarms to

enter alarm mode in response to a remote push to test.

If the alarm does not sound, the unit may have defective batteries or other fail-

ure and you should call Kidde customer service at 1-800-880-6788. If other

interconnected alarms do not produce an alarm signal check the fuse or circuit
