We will walk through the steps on how to set up the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide First Alert in this guide. Here are some supplies we prepared before starting the installation process: screwdriver, wire stripper, nuts, needle-nose pliers or utility knife, and ladder. First, we chose a suitable location to install our smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. One thing you should keep in mind is that the top edge of the alarm should be placed between 4 inches (100 mm) and 12 inches (300 mm) away from the wall/ceiling line when installing the alarm on the wall. However, place the alarm as close to the center as possible if you want to install the alarm on the ceiling. It is recommended that the alarm be installed at least 4 inches (100 mm) from the intersection of the wall and ceiling in both cases.

The right location for the smoke alarm is important. You must prepare a suitable location for your smoke alarms. We install our alarms at least 20 feet away from appliances like furnaces and ovens where burning particles can be generated. First Alert Fire And Carbon Monoxide Alarm must be located at least 3 feet from hot/AC vents and at least 10 feet away from high humidity areas such as showers and laundry rooms. Users should make sure to install smoke alarms in each bedroom, one at the top of each stairway and one on every floor.

Note when using

If your smoke alarm keeps beeping and beeping, it could be due to a low battery. Replace batteries immediately whenever your smoke alarm continues to sound. Other reasons for the constant sounding include security systems, carbon monoxide alarms, monitors, or other devices with similar low battery or warning signals. Dust and insects in alarms or power outages in hard-wired alarms are also among the same factors that cause unwanted alarms that can cause intermittent alarms. You will also be faced with improper wiring warnings on your AC or AC/DC smoke alarm and the alarm will sound every 5 seconds if the connection wire is grounded. It is important to keep in mind that the orange connection wire should only be used to connect other smoke alarms or compatible devices and should never be grounded.

Users must regularly check their smoke alarms because there are a number of reasons why alarms may not sound. The first reason is that the user may not hold the check button long enough. You should try pressing and holding it for up to 10 seconds and 20 seconds on photoelectric models. The next reason is that your battery may be damaged or not inserted properly. You still need to make sure that the battery is firmly in place even if the alarm goes off briefly when the battery hits the terminals. The battery cannot power the Home Depot First Alert Smoke And Carbon Monoxide Alarm properly if it is loose. Be sure to check your smoke detector very carefully after installing a new battery. Also, AC power not being turned on is also a common reason. While receiving power, you will see that the AC and AC/DC units will have the power indicator (red or green) on continuously. Smoke alarms may not be activated properly if you have a 10-year model installed. You can use a toothpick to move this button over there to check for an alarm if the tab is down before the alarm is triggered.
