First Alert BRK PRC710 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Built-In 10-Year Battery , White

Description

Featuring a low profile, contemporary design, the First Alert PRC710 Slim
Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm with 10 Year Battery provides
the same protection as a standard smoke alarm while taking up only a fraction
of the space. This slim, battery operated smoke detector requires no
hardwiring for installation, making it an ideal solution for those who want to
enhance fire safety without hiring an electrician. It features a built in 10
year lithium ion battery that provides continuous power for up to a decade.
Equipped with an ultra reliable photoelectric sensor, the smoke alarm detects
smoke from slow burning, smoldering fires while keeping false alarms to a
minimum. A patented smoke entry system further enhances the detector’s
reliability by providing a direct path to the smoke sensor. The unit also
features an advanced electrochemical sensor that detects carbon monoxide leaks
from multiple sources such as faulty fuel burning appliances and blocked
chimneys. The simple twist lock mounting system installs easily onto a wall or
ceiling, while the tamper resistant locks help prevent removal of the battery
to keep the alarm secure. Half as thick as a standard alarm, the smoke
detector has a sleek, slim design that blends in seamlessly with most decor. A
loud 85 decibel alarm sounds when smoke is detected, and a convenient
test/silence button lets you easily check alarm function and mute false
alarms. TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS: Activating the battery. Mount alarm to mounting
bracket to activate. Once unit is activated, it cannot be turned off. NOTE:
After you activate the battery, the power indicator light may flash. (If the
unit alarms, the light will blink rapidly, and the horn will repeatedly sound
3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps.) Once the Smoke Alarm is on the bracket, you can
rotate the Alarm to adjust the alignment. Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least
once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your
household vacuum’s soft brush attachment. A can of clean compressed air may
also be used. Follow manufacturer instructions for use. Test the Smoke/CO
Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.
If the Smoke/CO Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or
grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit
immediately. DO NOT LOCATE THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM: In garages, furnace rooms,
crawl spaces and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy
areas. Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles form when
something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages,
and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet (6 meters) from the sources of
combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible.
In areas where a 20-foot (6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular,
mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be
placed as fa from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement
recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at a reasonable distance
from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms
can occur if a Smoke Alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source.
Ventilate these areas as much as possible. Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any
cooking appliance. In air streams near kitchens. Air currents can draw cooking
smoke into the smoke sensor and cause unwanted alarms. In extremely humid
areas. This Alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna,
humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room, or other source
of high humidity. In direct sunlight. In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans
or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or smoke from reaching the
sensors. In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter
than 100˚F (37.8˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl spaces,
unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and
garages. In insect infested areas. Insects can clog the openings to the
sensing chamber. Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from fluorescent lights.
Electrical “noise” can interfere with the sensor. In “dead air” spaces. See
“Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.
