INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing First Alert for your hearing impaired Strobe Light needs. You have purchased a state of the art Strobe Light designed to provide hearing impaired individuals with a visual warning of a fire or a carbon monoxide danger when used with smoke, heat or carbon monoxide alarms. Please take the time to read this manual and make the Strobe Light an integral part of your family's safety plan.

Key Features of the SL177 Strobe Light:

Smart Strobe: Separate flash patterns to distinguish smoke/heat or CO danger. Can be interconnected with First Alert and BRK ^® smoke, CO, smoke/CO combo and heat alarms.

177 Candela Xenon Light: Powerful 177 candela xenon strobe light provides effective visual warning to awaken hearing impaired residents. Smart Interconnect: One interconnect wire carries smoke and CO alarm signals.

Meets ADA Requirements: Meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

WARNING!

This device is not a smoke, heat or carbon monoxide alarm. It must be interconnected with operating alarms to provide protection. It will not work without AC power.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS STROBE LIGHT

IMPORTANT! Read "Recommended Placement for Hearing Impaired Strobe Lights".

This Strobe Light is intended to be interconnected with functioning smoke, heat or carbon monoxide alarms. It has no means of detection on it own. It will not operate without AC power. Its operation is specifically designed to wake hearing impaired persons as specified by NFPA 72, Underwriters Laboratories (UL 1971), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and ANSI 117.1.

This Strobe Light can ONLY give an early warning of a potentially dangerous fire or CO incident if it is installed, maintained and located where hearing impaired residents can see it, as described in this manual. This unit will not sense smoke, carbon monoxide, gas, heat or flame. It cannot prevent or extinguish fires.

Check Your Local Building Codes

This Strobe Light is designed to be used in typical residential single-family or multi-family dwellings and institutional applications including sleeping areas of hospitals, hotels, motels, nursing homes, long term health care facilities, day care facilities, dormitories or other similar dwellings. See “Special Compliance Considerations” for details.

▲DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where you will install this Strobe Light at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

A WARNING!

  • Installation of this Strobe Light must conform to the electrical codes in your area; Articles 210, 760 of NFPA 70 (NEC), NFPA 72, NFPA 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO); NBC (BOCA); OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or building codes that may apply. Wiring and installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in injury or property damage.
  • This Strobe Light must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned off by a switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to connect this Strobe Light to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection.
  • It is possible an electrical fire could occur on the circuit powering this Strobe Light. If this happened, power to the unit could be cut off and it may fail to activate. Some safety experts recommend wiring warning devices like this unit on separate circuits from other appliances, since these circuits are not as likely to be overloaded. Other safety experts recommend wiring these units on the same circuits as appliances so it is more readily apparent if the circuit fails.
  • Never disconnect the power from an AC powered Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the interconnected units. The interconnected alarm will reset automatically when it returns to normal operation. Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Instead open a window or fan the smoke away. The Alarm will reset automatically.

According to NFPA 72, at a minimum a strobe should installed within 16 feet (4.9 meters) of the pillow.

For wall mounting, the strobe should be between 80 to 96 inches (203 to 244 cm) above the floor.

For ceiling mounting: Ideally, the strobe should be located near the center of the room. See diagram.

Ceiling Mounted
16° Maximum

Wall Mounted
80-96 in. 16' Maximum

A WARNING!

This strobe light must be interconnected with smoke, heat and/or carbon monoxide alarms either within or nearby the sleeping rooms to provide protection.

STROBE LIGHT OUTPUT FOR WALL & CEILING MOUNTING

The intensity of the strobe light gradually lessens as the angle increases. In other words, the light is brightest directly in front of the strobe light and is progressively less bright to either side. As required by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), the following illustrations show how the strobe light is dispersed. Use them to help you choose where to locate units for the hearing impaired.

PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY AND STROBE FLASH RATES

Individuals who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy might have an increased probability for seizures with multiple strobe lights flashing asynchronously. The frequency or speed of flashing light that is most likely to cause seizures varies from person to person. Generally, flashing lights most likely to trigger seizures are between the frequency of 5 to 30 flashes per second (Hertz). This strobe light flashes at about 1 flash per second.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, most workplaces and places serving the public, including theaters, restaurants, and recreation areas, are required to have fire alarms, which flash as well as ring so that people who cannot hear or cannot hear well will know that there is an emergency.

WEEKLY TESTING

To test this strobe light you must activate the test button of each interconnected, smoke, CO or heat alarm. This will send a signal to the strobe light and cause the unit to begin flashing. Depending on what type of alarms you have connected, the strobe light will flash different patterns.

Smoke/Heat Alarms: Constant approximately 1 flash per second. CO Alarms: Intermittent approximately 1 flash per second for four flashes, then 5 seconds off. Pattern is repeated.

These different patterns are to help a hearing impaired person better distinguish the danger present. The flash patterns approximate the audible alarm emitted by either a smoke or heat alarm or a carbon monoxide alarm. Note that a heat alarm will emit the same horn pattern as a smoke alarm. Make sure all members of your family understand the different flash patterns.

Do not look directly at or touch the lens while the strobe light is flashing. Doing so can hurt your eyes or burn your fingers. If the strobe light does not flash during testing and the alarm does not sound, check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the alarm circuit. If the alarm sounds and the strobe light does not flash, refer to the installation instructions in this manual to insure strobe light is wired properly. If the strobe light still does not work it should be replaced.

When testing the interconnected alarm, do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is sounding. It is loud to wake you in an emergency. Exposure to the horn at close range may harm your hearing. All interconnected alarms connected to this strobe light must be tested individually to ensure proper connections. It is important to test all interconnected alarms every week to make sure they are working properly. Using the test button is the recommended way to test the alarms and strobe light.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS STROBE LIGHT

This Strobe Light is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box to a 4-inch (10 cm) diagonal size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed by local codes). Read "Recommended Placement for Hearing Impaired Strobe Lights" before you begin installation. Tools you will need: • Standard Flathead screwdriver • Wire strippers

FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS

The basic installation of this strobe light is similar whether you want to install one strobe light or multiple strobe lights.

WARNING!

This device is not a smoke, heat or CO alarm. It must be interconnected with operating alarms to provide protection. It will not work without AC power.

Things to consider when planning the installation of a hearing impaired strobe light:

  • Location of strobe light is important and must comply with NFPA 72 requirements. This device is intended to awaken a hearing impaired person and must be positioned properly for it to be effective. See Installation Diagram and "Recommended Locations for Hearing Impaired Strobe Lights" for details.
  • Types of other alarms to be interconnected with this strobe light. This device can be interconnected with smoke, heat, carbon monoxide alarms or a combination of all three. A smoke alarm is usually placed within the sleeping room. A carbon monoxide or heat alarm is usually placed outside the sleeping area. Follow recommendations in each device's installation manual. The interconnect wire of all alarms must be properly connected for the strobe light to be operational. The strobe light may be positioned anywhere within the interconnected circuit.

▲DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Turn off power before starting installation!

  1. Remove the mounting bracket from the base. Install the mounting bracket to the junction box.
  2. Using wire nuts, connect the power connector to the household wiring as follows:
    Strip off about 1/2" (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the orange wire on the power connector.
  3. Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral wire in the junction box.
  4. Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire in the junction box.
  5. Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the interconnect wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you are interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the junction box to the orange interconnect wire.

  6. Plug the power connector into the back of the Strobe Light.

  7. Line up the alignment tab on the base with the alignment tab on the mounting bracket. Turn the Strobe Light clockwise (right) until you hear the unit snap into place.

  8. Check all connections.

WARNING!

Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to the power connector will cause damage to the Strobe Light and may lead to a non-functioning unit.

- If you are installing multiple Strobe Lights, repeat steps 1-5 for each Strobe Light in the series. When you are finished, restore power to the junction box.

A DANGER!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Do not restore power until all devices are completely installed. Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

  1. Make sure the Strobe Light is receiving AC power. Under normal operation, the green power indicator light will shine continuously. If the power indicator light does not light, TURN OFF POWER TO THE JUNCTION BOX and recheck all connections. If all connections are correct and the power indicator still does not light when you restore the power, the unit should be replaced immediately.

  2. To test this strobe light you must activate the test button of each interconnected, smoke, CO or heat alarm. This will send a signal to the strobe light and cause the unit to begin flashing.
    Depending on what type of alarms you have connected, the strobe light will flash different patterns.
    Smoke/Heat Alarms: Constant approximately 1 flash per second. CO Alarms: Intermittent approximately 1 flash per second for four flashes, then 5 seconds off. Pattern is repeated.
    These different patterns are to help a hearing impaired person better distinguish the danger present. The flash patterns approximate the audible alarm emitted by either a smoke/heat alarm or carbon monoxide alarm.

A WARNING!

Do not look directly at or touch the lens while the strobe light is flashing.

IMPORTANT!

If any Strobe Light does not flash, TURN OFF POWER and recheck connections. If any Strobe Light still does not flash when you test it after restoring power, replace it immediately.

IF THIS STROBE LIGHT ACTIVATES

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

During an alarm, depending on what type of alarms you have connected, the strobe light will flash different patterns.

Smoke/Heat Alarms: Constant approximately 1 flash per second. CO Alarms: Intermittent approximately 1 flash per second for four flashes, then 5 seconds off. Pattern is repeated.

These different patterns are to help a hearing impaired person better distinguish the danger present. The flash patterns approximate the audible alarm emitted by either a smoke/heat alarm or carbon monoxide alarm.

The appropriate smoke, CO or heat alarm will also be sounding their repeating horn patterns:

Smoke or Heat Alarm you will hear 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. Carbon Monoxide danger you will hear 4 fast beeps, pause, 4 fast beeps, pause.

IF AN INTERCONNECTED CO ALARM SOUNDS

"ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR"

If you hear an interconnected CO alarm horn and the CO red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT remove the batteries!

A WARNING!

Actuation of an interconnected CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF AN INTERCONNECTED CO ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

  1. Operate the Test/Silence button.
  2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down the number of your local emergency service here:
  3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.
  4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers' instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

NOTE: A qualified appliance technician is defined as “a person, firm, corporation, or company that either in person or through a representative, is engaged in and responsible for the installation, testing, servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other decorative combustion equipment.”

IF AN INTERCONNECTED SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

WARNING!

  • If an interconnected unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death.
  • Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.). Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke, and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.
  • If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

  • Don't panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.
  • Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don't stop to get dressed or collect anything.
  • Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don't open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.
  • Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths.

- Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.

- Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.

- Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

- Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.

IF YOU SUSPECT A PROBLEM

ACAUTION!

If the strobe light lens is loose or broken, the entire unit should be replaced immediately. Never remove the strobe light lens for any reason. Doing so can permanently damage the unit and will void your warranty.

A WARNING!

Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Alarm. First, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next, remove the battery from Alarms with battery back-up. Finally, press and hold the test button for 5-10 seconds to discharge the branch circuit.

Do not try fixing the device yourself – this will void your warranty!

If the device is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty, please see "How to Obtain Warranty Service" in the Limited Warranty.

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

AWARNING!

Strobe Lights along with residential smoke and carbon monoxide alarms alone are not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, long-term health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind—even if they were once single-family homes. They are not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems, typically in only the sleeping areas. Depending on the building codes in your area, these devices may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.

LIMITATIONS OF STROBES

Strobes and alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to audible or visual signals, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their response while sleeping and to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.

The strobe cannot work without AC power. The strobe will not operate if AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.).

The Strobe will not operate unless smoke, heat or CO reaches the corresponding alarm. Refer to the user's manuals supplied with the interconnected smoke, heat or CO alarms.

Strobes may not be seen. Hearing impaired individuals may not see the visual notification if obstructions such as doors, walls, or bright lights block the strobe light. The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair ones ability to respond to the visual signal.

Strobes are not foolproof. Like any electronic device, strobes are made of components that can wear out or fail at any time. You must test the unit weekly to ensure your continued protection. Strobes are not a substitute for property or life insurance.

Hearing deficits may not be not apparent. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

Strobes have a limited life. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly. Replace the strobe 10 years from date of installation.
