There are no switches to set. Additional features 11I Depending on the model,the smoke detector may also provide the following features. CleanMe: Enables a CleanMe compatible control panel to receive a warning signal, indicating that the optical chamber needs to be replaced.This feature is available on the 500N Series two-wire detectors only. The 500N Series two-wire detectors enable the CleanMe function by recognizing voltage polarity at installation. If the+ Description and -terminal connections are reversed, the CleanMe function is enabled.

Therefore, a smoke detector is best located between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroom area on one floor,the smoke detector should be located as shown in Figure 1-A. In family living units with more than one bedroom area or with more than one floor, more than one smoke detector is required, as shown in Figure 1-B. In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the installation of a smoke detector on each additional story of the family living unit, including the basement, is required. 2/8 P/N 1036525-EN•REV D•ISS 30APR14 Installing the detector Figure 3: Detector installation All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code(NEC) _ and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
