Installing your Smoke Sensor / Video on how to install the Smoke Sensor

To install your Smoke Sensor, make sure you have the following in addition to the included equipment:

- Drill and 2mm bit
- Hammer
- Ladder

Installing your Smoke Sensor / Pre-installation checklist

Installing your Smoke Sensor / Installing your sensor using the mobile app

__Where should I install my Smoke Sensor?__

Your Smoke Sensor should be installed on a clean surface area inside your home. Make sure you wipe the location before installing your sensor. A good location for a Smoke Sensor is:

- Between bedroom areas and the rest of the home
- Near stairways to the upper floor
- 4 inches away from the nearest wall if ceiling mounted
- 4 inches away from the ceiling if wall-mounted
- Away from kitchens, bathrooms, and areas with usage of recreational smoke (i.e. smoking, vaping)

A Smoke Sensor should not be installed: 

- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Within five feet of any cooking appliances
- Near doors and windows with drafts
- Outside or in a garage
- In or below a cupboard
- In a location where the air flow is obstructed by curtains or furniture
- In a location where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Anywhere the sensor can be knocked, damaged or inadvertently removed
- On removable ceiling panels

__How to mount my Smoke Sensor__

1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit). Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown (detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.

- Included battery
- Included mounting adhesives
- 4 mm flat head screwdriver
- 4 mm Phillips head screwdriver

Installing your Flood Sensor / Installing your sensor using the mobile app

1. Choose an appropriate location to place the flood detector. Avoid mounting the transmitter portion of the device behind a metal object such as a washing machine
2. Place the probe in the lowest part of the room where water is expected to pool. In the event of a flood, both points on the probe will need to touch water in order to trigger an alarm. The probes should be facing downward. Secure the flood sensor to the wall with the provided screws
3. Place the transmitter as high up on the wall as possible to prevent it from coming in contact with water. Secure the transmitter to the wall with the provided two-sided adhesive tape

Installing your Glass Break Sensor / Installing your sensor using the mobile app

1. Choose an appropriate location to mount the sensor
2. Place the sensor directly across from the window you would like to protect, ensuring the sensor has a direct line of site to the protected window
__Note__: Sensor should be at least 6 ft off the floor, but not less than 12" from the ceiling.
3. Avoid placing the sensor in rooms that have a lot of reflective surfaces (like kitchens, bathrooms, or garages), have multiple noise sources (like small utility rooms), or are very small (3x3 m or 10x10 ft) since noises may echo and cause a false alarm
4. Clean the surface with a lint-free cloth, apply the double-sided adhesive to the back of the sensor and peel off the liner to expose the adhesive surface, then press the device firmly onto the mounting surface

Installing your Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector / Installing your sensor using the mobile app

__Where should I install my CO Detector?__

Your CO Detector should be installed on a clean surface area inside your home. Make sure you wipe the location before installing your sensor. A good location for a CO Detector is:

- At least 12" from any wall if ceiling mounted
- At least 6" from the ceiling but not lower than a light switch if wall mounted
- Within 10 feet (3m) of a sleeping area
- Inside any room that contains a fuel burning appliance (or just outside any room with a fuel burning appliance if the room is not used regularly)

CO Detectors should NOT be installed:

- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Within five feet of any cooking appliances
- Near doors and windows with drafts
- In or below a cupboard
- In a location where the air flow is obstructed by curtains or furniture
- In a location where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Anywhere the sensor can be knocked, damaged or inadvertently removed
- On removable ceiling panels

__How to mount my CO Detector__

1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required. Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown (detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.
