Quick Guide

The X-SENSE SD03/SD04 is a photoelectric smoke alarm designed for indoor use. It features a 10-year sealed lithium battery and is designed to detect smoldering fires. Important: Never ignore a sounding alarm. Test the unit weekly. If the alarm fails to test correctly, replace it immediately.

Installation Instructions

Placement: Install alarms on every level and in every bedroom. If installing on a ceiling, place in the middle. If wall-mounted, place 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) below the ceiling.

Mounting Steps:

1. Drill three 6.0 mm holes in the wall or ceiling.
2. Insert three plastic anchor plugs into the holes with a hammer.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the surface with three screws.
4. Mount the alarm into the bracket by pushing them together and twisting clockwise.
5. The unit will automatically activate when attached to the bracket for the first time.

Weekly Testing and Maintenance

Testing: Press the Test/Silence button weekly. The unit will sound and the LED will flash. Do not use an open flame to test the unit.

Maintenance:

• Clean the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month.
• Never use detergents or solvents.
• Do not paint the unit, as this will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor.
• Avoid spraying aerosols near the alarm.

Deactivation (End of Life)

After 10 years, the unit must be deactivated and replaced. To deactivate:

1. Peel back the shaded label obstructing the "DIS" setting.
2. Break the thin plastic guard.
3. Twist the plastic pin upwards or insert a screwdriver into the slot and turn the dial clockwise to the "DIS" position.
4. Dispose of the alarm.
