Twist the detector counterclockwise and lift it off of the mounting base. 3. Remove the plastic tag in the battery compartment to connect the battery.4. Ensure the battery is seated.2.3 Register the Wireless Smoke DetectorThe wireless smoke detector must be registered to function in your EchoStream system. Transmitters must be registered with the system in order to be monitored and supervised. EN1244, EN1244A and EN1244Z wireless smoke detectors send a check-in message every three minutes; EN1244-60 wireless smoke detectors send a check-in message every 60 minutes.Note: For UL 2560 installations, transmitters must have a minimum check-in time of 60 minutes.Refer to your receiver, network coordinator or control panel manual for registration instructions. Inovonics recommends all EchoStream transmitters be supervised. Note: The wireless smoke detector needs twenty seconds to initialize after power up, during which you will be unable to register devices. During this initialization period, both LEDs will blink every five seconds.5. When prompted to register the device, use a small screwdriver or Allen wrench with a diameter of less than 0.18” to press the recessed test button (See Figure 1). 2.4 Mount the Wireless Smoke Detector1. Choose a location for the wireless smoke detector, paying attention to the following guidelines.Caution: Regulations pertaining to smoke detector installations vary. For more information, contact your local fire department or local authority having jurisdiction.• Install a minimum of two smoke detectors in any household.• Put a smoke detector in the hallway outside of every bedroom area.• Put a smoke detector on every level of a multi-level residence. • In rooms with sloped ceilings, install smoke detectors 0.9m (3 feet) measured down from the highest point of the ceiling.• Install basement detectors on the ceiling as close to the center of the room as possible. If this is not practical, install on the ceiling no closer than 10cm (4 inches) from any wall or corner.• If ceiling mounting is not practical, install on an inside wall between 10 an 15cm (4 and 6 inches) from the ceiling.• Put smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway is more than 9m (30 feet) long. Large rooms over 84 square meters (900 square feet) require more than a single detector.• Areas with rough ceilings or short, transom-type walls coming down from the ceiling require additional smoke detectors.• Install second-floor smoke detectors on the ceiling at the top of the first-to-second floor stairwell. Be sure that no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to the detector. Do not locate detectors:• To a drop ceiling panel; mount it to a metal runner as shown in figure 2. Figure 2 Mount the smoke detector across drop ceiling panel support• In or near areas such as kitchens or garages, where smoke or vehicle exhausts normally occur (protect these areas with heat-detection devices, not with smoke detectors); near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas space heaters.• In damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers. Install detectors at least 1.5m (5 feet) away from bathrooms.• In very cold or very hot areas.• In dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas. • Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Air conditioners, heater, fans, and fresh air intakes and returns can drive smoke away from smoke detectors.• In dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or wall/ceiling intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke detector.• Near fluorescent light fixtures. Install smoke detectors at least 3m (10 feet) away from fluorescent light fixtures.• Between protruding ceiling structures such as beams or walls which can create dead air spaces and may prohibit smoke from reaching the detector.Caution: All detectors are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. For example: Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door; detectors may not detect smoke on other levels of the building; detectors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.Do install:• Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas.• On every floor of the building.• In every room that contains a fuel-burning appliance.Note: If the room with a fuel-burning appliance is not normally used, such as a boiler room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so that the alarm can be more easily heard.Warning: In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a 7.87” (20 cm) distance must be maintained between all persons and the wireless smoke detector.Do not install:• Within 10 feet of any cooking appliance.• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven.• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts.• Near an extractor fan or air vent.• Outside.• In any environment that does not comply with the detector’s environmental specifications.• In or below a cupboard.• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture.• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor.• Where the detector could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed.2. Referring to figure 3, use the included mounting screws and dry walk anchors to mount the wireless smoke detector base. Figure 3 Mounting the wireless smoke detectorMounting holes

Refer to section 3, “Test the Wireless Smoke Detector” to test the wireless smoke detector.3 Test the Wireless Smoke DetectorThere are two ways to test the wireless smoke detector sensor. The system test should be performed every week; the smoke test should be performed at least once a year.The wireless smoke detector should also be tested after initial registration, as well as each time the smoke chamber is cleaned or the batteries are replaced.3.1 System Test1. Use a small screwdriver or Allen key with maximum diameter of 0.18” to push and hold the recessed test button for a minimum of five seconds. Figure 4 Press and hold the recessed test button2. Ensure the sounder activates, the red LED lights briefly, and the control panel, serial receiver or network coordinator receives a test signal, followed a few seconds later by a restoral.3.2 Smoke TestCaution: Performing a smoke test will transmit an alarm signal.1. Use aerosol simulated smoke, such as ESL Smoke! In a Can® (ESL Part No. SM-200) to perform the smoke test.• You can also perform a smoke test by holding a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector and gently blow smoke through the detector until it alarms.2. Ensure the sounder activates, the red LED lights briefly, and the control panel, serial receiver or network coordinator receives an alarm, followed a few seconds later by a restoral.4 Clean the Wireless Smoke Detector1. Disable the zone or system to prevent any unwanted alarms.2. Turn the detector counter-clockwise and remove from mounting base.3. Remove the battery from the unit.4. To ensure complete power down, wait 20 seconds.5. Turn the detector cover counter-clockwise and remove.6. Lift the smoke sensor to remove. Figure 5 Remove the detector cover and smoke sensor7. Remove any dust or debris from the detector cover, smoke sensor, and all other chamber sections using a vacuum or canned air.8. Align the arrows on the detector cover with the line on the smoke detector and press down firmly until it is fully seated.9. Place the detector cover over the smoke sensor and turn clockwise until it snaps into place.10. Reinstall the battery, noting proper orientation. • The red and green LEDs will flash once every five seconds for approximately 20 seconds until the power-up cycle is complete.11. Reinstall the detector and test per section 3, “Test the Wireless Smoke Detector” on page 3.Caution: If this procedure is not followed, the detector may indicate maintenance trouble after the power-up sequence is complete. In this case, remove the battery for 20 seconds and reinstall.5 Replace the BatteryTo replace the battery:1. Twist the wireless smoke detector counterclockwise and remove it from the mountain base. 2. Remove the battery, properly disposing of it.3.
