x Near fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” from fluorescentlights may cause nuisance alarms. Install smoke detectors atleast 5 feet (1.5 meters) from such lights.

Smoke Detector Manual (SSSD3)
Introduction

x Make sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path ofsmoke to the detector.

Recommended locations (single sleeping area)

The SimpliSafe Smoke Detector (SSSD3) is a photoelectricsmoke detector, designed to sense smoke that comes into thedetector chamber. It does not sense gas, heat, or flame. This
smoke detector is designed to give early warning of developing
fires with an alarm sound from its built-in siren. These sirens
can provide precious time to escape before a fire spreads.
However, the smoke detector makes such pre-warning of firepossible only if the smoke detector is located, installed, andmaintained properly as described in this User's Manual.

x At both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is morethan 40 feet long.
x At the bottom of a basement stairwell.
Smoke Alarm Should Be Located Between Sleeping Area and Rest of
Dwelling Unit, as Well as in Each Bedroom
Recommended locations (multiple sleeping areas)

Smoke Detector Location
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard.

“29.5.1.1 Where required by other governing laws, codes, orstandards for a specific type of occupancy, approved singleand multiple station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:

In Dwelling Units with More Than One Sleeping Area, Smoke Alarm Should
Be Provided to Protect Each Sleeping Area in Addition to Smoke Alarms
Required in Bedrooms(1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms

Recommended locations (multi-floor residence)(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area
(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements(4) In the living area(s) of a guest suite
WARNING: The Smoke Detector is intended for residential use
only and is not to be used in a commercial application.
CAUTION (as required by the California State Fire Marshall)“Early warning fire” detection is best achieved by the
installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areasof the household as follows: (1) A smoke detector installed ineach separate sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside of the
bedrooms), and (2) Heat or smoke detectors in the livingrooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics,
furnace rooms, closets, utility and, storage rooms, basements
and attached garages.”

Be prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your family inthe event of a fire:

Smoke detectors are a significant help in reducing loss,
injury and even death. However, no matter how good adetection device is, nothing works perfectly under every
circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot
expect a smoke detector to ensure that you will never
suffer any damage or injury.

x As close to the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is notpractical, put the detector on the ceiling, no closer than 4
inches (10 cm) from any wall or corner. For sloped ceilings,
mount detector 3 feet measured horizontally from the highest
point of the ceiling. If ceiling mounting is not possible andwall mounting is permitted by your local and state codes,
mount the detector high on the wall (about 4 and 6 inchesfrom the ceiling).

WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION IN AREAS WHERE
AIR VELOCITIES EXCEED 300 METERS PER MINUTE (985 FPM)

Locations to avoid

1.

Mount the bracket on the ceiling or wall, using the included
screws and wall anchors.

3.

Push the Smoke Detector onto the mounting bracket andturn it clockwise until it clicks into place. Pull outward on
the detector to make sure it is securely attached.

NOTE: After you install the smoke detector and whenever you
change its battery, you must test it according to the instructions
below to make sure it is functioning correctly.

x In a dead air space at the top of a peaked roof, or in thecorners between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent
smoke from reaching a detector.

• Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition ofan alarm signal.
• Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is
important that children be instructed carefully, because theytend to hide in times of crisis.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist thateveryone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate thetragedy of someone reentering the house for a missing
member who is actually safe.

Fire prevention and escape

WARNING!! Smoke detectors CANNOT provide warnings
for fires resulting from explosions, smoking in bed or otherfurniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases,
children playing with matches or lighters.

The purpose of an early warning smoke detector 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• Do not smoke in bed.

WARNING: Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector
guards unless the combination has been evaluated and foundsuitable for that purpose.

• Do not leave children home alone.
• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.

WARNING: This device contains a wireless transmitter that can• Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping
techniques to keep your home neat and tidy. A clutteredbasement, attic, or storage area is an open invitation to fire.

• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in yourhome.

actuate a remote audible siren. When used in a typical single
level or multilevel dwelling, or in apartment buildings where
adjacent apartments may have similar systems, it is possiblethat interference for another system could prohibit the remotesiren from sounding in the event of an alarm. Never rely solely
on the remote siren for notification of an alarm. Always makesure that the internal siren in the Smoke Detector can be heard
from all bedrooms and living areas.

• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires canstart. Be prepared.

Operating Modes
The LED light on the front of the sensor indicates the operating
mode of the smoke detector:

CAUTION: This smoke detector comes with cover latches thatwill prevent the smoke detector cover from closing if battery is
not installed. This tells you that the smoke detector will notwork until a new battery is properly installed.

Red LED blinks rapidly AND chirps 3 times: The detector
has sensed a potentially dangerous level of smoke. The buzzer
and alarm siren will also sound. Please follow the "in case offire" instructions.
Red LED blinks every 5-6 minutes: your detector isfunctioning normally.

Battery Installation
1. Open the battery compartment

Yellow LED blinks AND chirps every minute: the Smoke
Detector battery is low. This low battery warning signal should
last for up to 30 days, but you should install a new Panasonic
CR123A 3V lithium battery immediately.

2. Install a new Panasonic CR123A 3V lithium battery, making
sure the + and - ends of the battery are aligned properly.
3. After the battery is installed and the smoke detector ismounted on its bracket, you will hear a chirp which indicatesthe unit is receiving battery power.

Yellow LED blinks AND chirps three times per minute: thisindicates the unit has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced.
Yellow LED on SOLID: this indicates the unit’s tamper switch
is open. Reinstall the unit on the mounting bracket.

NOTE: Test the detector for correct operation using the test
facility, whenever the battery is replaced.

Maintenance tips

Testing

To keep your detector in good working order open the coverand vacuum the dust off the sensing chamber at least once amonth.
x Remove the battery before cleaning.
x Use soft brush attachment on your vacuum to carefully
remove any dust, especially on the openings of the sensing
chamber. Never use water or cleaners.
x Replace the battery after cleaning. Test the smoke detector
to make sure battery is working correctly.

If the smoke detector beeps three times with the yellow LED
flashing three times in 43 secs, it indicates the smoke detector
is not working properly - it must be repaired or replaced.

Install the Smoke Detector on a ceiling or wall:x 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.

WARNING: Do not connect smoke detectors to any otheralarm or auxiliary device. Connecting anything else to thisdetector will keep it from working properly.

Test your smoke detector weekly by pressing the test button(the clear button on the front of the sensor) for 4 seconds. The
sensor’s siren will sound (3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps) and thelight will flash continuously and rapidly. If this sensor isenrolled in a SimpliSafe alarm system, the base station will
also sound during this test.

x In damp or very humid areas, or near bathrooms withshowers. Moisture in humid air can enter the sensing
chamber, and cause a false alarm. Install the smoke
detector at least 10 feet away from bathrooms.

x In very dusty or dirty areas. Dirt and dust can build up on thesensing chamber, making it overly sensitive, or block
openings to the sensing chamber, making it less sensitive.

Press the “test/silence” button (the clear button on the front of
the detector) to temporarily quiet an alarm for up to 10 minutes.
If smoke is still present around the smoke detector after 10
minutes of silence, the unit will re-alarm.

NOTE: Use only a Panasonic CR123A battery. This smoke
detector may not operate properly with other kind of battery.

Installing the Smoke Detector

Mounting
bracket1/5

Smoke detectors may not always activate and provide
warning early enough. A smoke detector only activates whenenough smoke reaches it. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof,
on the other side of closed doors, or a different level of theproperty not enough smoke may reach the detector.

WARNING: Do not stand close to the smoke detector when
the alarm is sounding. The alarm is loud in order to wake youin an emergency. Too much exposure to the horn at close
range may be harmful to your hearing.

x At the top of a first-to-second floor stairwell.

Adding Smoke Detector to System (SSBS3)NFPA Standard 72, Section 29.5.1.1:

Smoke detectors may not be heard. A sound sleeper orsomeone who has taken drugs or alcohol may not awaken if
the detector is installed outside a bedroom. Closed or partiallyclosed doors and distance can block sound. This detector is
not designed for the hearing impaired.

WARNING: Never remove the battery from the smoke detector
to stop a nuisance alarm. Open a window or fan the air aroundthe smoke detector to get rid of the smoke. The detector willturn itself off when the smoke is gone. If nuisance alarms
persist, attempt to clean the smoke detector as described inthis User’s Manual, or relocate it to a better location.

x On every floor of a multi-floor home or apartment and aminimum of two detectors in any household.

THIS DETECTOR IS FOR SMOKE DETECTION USE ONLY.

SimpliSafe Smoke Detector v3 Owner’s Manual Issue # SSSD3 RK1IMPORTANT: You should never disable the unit to avoid
nuisance alarms. Instead, relocate the detector to a better
location.

Suggested smoke detector locations:x In the hallway outside each bedroom area.

The smoke detector also monitors low battery and sensor
malfunction. These trouble conditions will cause an audible
chirp from the smoke detector as described in the “Operating
Modes” section below.

Silence Feature

x In insect-infested areas. If insects enter the sensing chamber,they may cause a nuisance alarm. Where bugs are a
problem, get rid of them before putting up a detector.

Install the sensor in the center of the ceilingNov 2017

This is the only way to make sure that the smoke detector unit
is working properly. If the unit fails to test properly, have it
repaired or replaced immediately.
Caution: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of thisalarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss.
WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test yourdetector. You may damage it as well as your home. The built-in
test switch accurately tests all functions as required by
Underwriters’ Laboratories.

LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORS
Wireless smoke detectors are very reliable, but may not work
under all conditions. No fire alarm provides total protection oflife or property. Alarms are not a substitute for insurance.

WARNING: When you are not testing the unit and the alarmsiren sounds, the detector is a warning of a possible serious
situation, which requires your immediate attention.

Smoke detectors require a source of power to work. This
smoke detector will not operate and the alarm will not sound if
batteries are dead or not installed properly.

Go/No-Go Field Test: Please use Home Safeguard Model
25S UL Listed aerosol smoke detector tester, following the
instructions listed on the canister.
