manual abstract
The DF-72/EC sounds a local alarm as soon as smoke is detected. Twenty seconds after the local alarm sounds, the DF-72/EC’s transmitter will send an alarm signal to the console. The alarm signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is still present. Coding switches are not required or used in the DF-72/EC. Each transmitter is pre-coded at the factory to a unique code. With the DX format, there are more than one million codes possible. The smoke detector and transmitter are powered by two 9-volt batteries. These batteries are supplied with the transmitter and can power the unit for up to two years. If the battery voltage drops below a preset level, a low battery report is sent to the receiver every hour. NOTE: After replacing batteries, press transmitter test button to reset “low battery circuit” STEP 1 Remove mounting plate. Remove the unit’s mounting plate by turning the plate counterclockwise. STEP 2 Identify components. Examine the DF-72/EC to identify the component locations. STEP 3 Install batteries. Connect the two 9-volt batteries and place them into the battery compartments. STEP 4 Pick smoke detector location. Referring to the NFPA standard on the back of this sheet, select a good location to mount the DF-72/EC. Mounting the DF-72/EC on foilbacked wallpaper or on a metal single-gang electrical box is not recommended because the radio range will be reduced. STEP 5 Install mounting plate. Use the two screws and anchors provided to attach the mounting plate to the wall or ceiling. Alternately, the mounting plate can be attached to a plastic single-gang electrical outlet box. For the best radio range, observe the “best signal” label on the bottom of the unit. STEP 6 Program into receiver. Follow the DF-16/EC console’s instructions to set it in a program or learn mode. Press the transmitter test button (not the smoke detector’s test button) to send a test signal. The transmit LED should light. Verify that the signal was received and that the transmitter was properly entered into the console’s memory.

NFPA 74 STANDARD FOR SMOKE DETECTOR LOCATION The DF-72/EC should be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 74, which reads as follows: 2-1.1.1Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfi nished attics*. The provisions of 2-1.1.1 represent the minimum number of detectors required by this standard. It is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke or heat detectors for increased protection for those areas separated by a door from areas protected by the required smoke detectors under 2-1.1.1 above. The recommended additional areas are: living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (fi nished or unfi nished), furnace room, utility room, basement, integral or attached garage and hallways not covered under 2- 1.1.1 above. However, the use of additional detectors remains the option of the householder. 2-1.1.2 For family living units with one or more split levels (i.e., adjacent levels with less than one full story separation between levels), a smoke detector required by 2-1.1.1 shall suffi ce for an adjacent lower level, including basements.
