Labconco 9223 - Manual

9000 SERIES

INTRODUCTION 9000 SERIES

The 9123 & 9223 Series smoke alarm is a photoelectric type unit

for use as an evacuation device in residential and commercial

residential applications, while the 9120 & 9220 Series are for use as

an alert and relocate device. Each smoke alarm has a solid state

piezo signal to warn and alert the household to the presence of

threatening smoke.

Your photoelectric smoke alarm is designed to detect the smoke

that results from an actual fire. Consequently, it is uncommon for

household smoke such as cigarette smoke or normal cooking smoke

to cause an alarm.

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

Dangers, Warnings, Cautions and Notices alert you to important

operating procedures or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay

special attention to these items.

WARNING!

This photoelectric smoke alarm is listed for use in single-family and

multi-family residences, along with hotels, motels and other

commercial residential occupancies.

This photoelectric smoke alarm must receive continuous 120VAC,

60Hz , pure sine wave electrical power. (battery is meant for

emergency back-up only). In order for the emergency battery back-up

to work, a new battery must be properly installed (see BATTERY

INSTALLATION section).

NEVER ignore your smoke alarm if it sounds. Refer to IF YOUR

SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS section for more information. Failure to

do so can result in serious injury or death.

Test this device once a week per manufacturer installation

recommendation. If the device ever fails to test correctly, replace

immediately! If the device is not working properly, it can not alert you

to a problem.

This product is intended for use in indoor locations of family dwelling

units.

is evacuation.

** Per NFPA 72, the

American National Standard Audible Emergency

Evacuation Signal

as defined in ANSI S3.41, is required whenever

the intended response is to evacuate the building.

NOTICE:

In the event AC Power fails, a 9VDC battery will provide

proper alarm operation for a minimum of 24 hours.

HOW YOUR SMOKE ALARM WORKS

The 9000 Series smoke alarm operates on the photoelectric light

scatter principle. The unit's sensing chamber houses a light source

and a light sensor.

The darkened sensing chamber is exposed to the atmosphere and

designed to permit optimum smoke entry from any direction while

rejecting light from outside the smoke alarm.

The light source is an infrared (invisible) LED which pulses every 8

seconds. The light sensor is a photodiode matched to the light

frequency of the LED light source.

Under normal conditions, the light generated by the pulsing infrared

LED is not seen by the light sensor, as it is positioned out of the direct

path of the light beam. When smoke enters the sensing chamber, light

from the pulsing LED light source is reflected by the smoke particles

onto the photodiode light sensor. At the first sighting of smoke, the

device is put into a pre-alarm mode.

This is indicated by a rapidly flashing LED on the face of the smoke

alarm. Once the light sensor confirms smoke for 2 consecutive pulses

inside the chamber, the light sensor produces the signal necessary to

trigger the alarm and sound the electronic horn.

This technique of verifying the smoke condition, combined with a

5-to-1 signal-to-noise ratio, substantially reduces the possibility of

nuisance alarms.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR SMOKE ALARM IS

WORKING PROPERLY

Your smoke alarm is provided with an alarm horn and pulsating

Light Emitting (indicator) Diode, which pulses every 30 seconds, and

a green AC power on LED.

When turning the test knob on the smoke alarm to TEST 1 the red

light emitting diode should flash rapidly and the horn should sound.

If the battery is low or missing, a chirp will be emitted when the red

LED flashes. If the smoke alarm is malfunctioning, the chirp will

sound between the red LED flashes. If AC power fails, the green

LED will turn off.

The test knob of your smoke alarm simulates actual smoke

conditions.

NOTE:

Tandem Interconnect Models.

When testing one smoke alarm, the device that is activated will flash

the red indicator light and sound its alarm horn. All other units will

sound the alarm horn with their red indicator lights remaining off.

The relays will also activate on all units in tandem on models

equipped with the relay option.

FIRE PROTECTION PLAN: WHAT YOU CAN DO TO

MAKE YOUR FAMILY SAFE FROM FIRES

This smoke alarm can quickly alert you to the presence of smoke; it

cannot prevent fire. The ultimate responsibility for fire protection rests

solely on you.

Installing smoke alarms is just the first step in protecting your family

from fires. You also must reduce the chances that fires will 550-0093
