QS5130-840 Mounting

1. Locate where you want to mount your detector. Mount the detector centrally on the ceiling at least 305 mm (12 in.) from walls.
2. Attach the baseplate to the ceiling.
Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for the occupancy in the building, install approved single and multiple station smoke detectors in the following areas:
1. In all bedrooms and guest rooms
2. Outside each separate sleeping area within 6.4 m (21 ft) of any door to a sleeping room.
3. On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements
4. On every level of a residential board and care occupancy, including basement, and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics
5. In the living areas of a guest suite
6. In the living areas of a residential board and care occupancy
The required number of smoke detectors might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door. Consider the use of additional smoke detectors for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke detectors. The installation of smoke detectors in finished or unfinished kitchens, attics, or garages is not normally recommended. These locations can experience conditions that can result in improper operation.
Important: Specific requirements for smoke detector installation can vary. Check with your local fire department for current requirements in your area.
Sufficient smoke must enter your smoke detector before an alarm occurs.
Install your smoke detector within 6.4 m (21 ft) of a potential fire to respond quickly. Install smoke detectors where they can be heard throughout the property. A single smoke detector gives some protection if it is correctly installed. Most homes require two or more smoke detectors, that are preferably interconnected, to ensure that they give a reliable early warning.
Install your first smoke detector between the sleeping area and the most likely sources of fire, no more than 6.4 m (21ft) from the door to any room where a fire may start and block your escape from the house.

Recommended Protection

Install individual smoke detectors in or near all rooms where fire is most likely to start. The living room is the most likely place for a fire to start at night, followed by the kitchen, where a heat detector is recommended, and then the dining room.
For minimum protection, follow these guidelines:
• Install a smoke detector on each story.
• Install a smoke detector in each sleeping area.
• Install a smoke detector within every 6.4 m (21 ft) of hallways and rooms.
• Install a smoke detector within 3 m (10 ft) of all bedroom doors.

• Install a smoke detector where all detectors are interconnected if the interconnect feature is enabled on your control panel.

For increased protection, in addition to minimum protection, follow these guidelines:
• Install smoke detectors in every room, except kitchens and bathrooms.
• Install heat detectors in kitchens and garages within 5.3 m (17 ft) of potential fire sources
Important: Install smoke detectors in any bedrooms where fires might occur, for example, where there is an electrical appliance in use or where the occupant is a smoke.

Mounting Your Detector

Mount your detector on a ceiling or a wall. You can mount a detector on a sloping ceiling if required. Do not place smoke detectors in any of the following areas:
• Bathrooms, kitchens, shower rooms, garages or other rooms where smoke detectors are triggered by steam, condensation, normal smoke, or fumes. Keep at least 6 m (20 ft) away from sources of normal smoke and fumes.
• Very dusty or dirty areas as dust buildup in the chamber can affect performance. It can also block the insect screen mesh and prevent smoke from entering the smoke detector chamber.
• In insect infested areas. Small insects in the smoke detector chamber can cause intermittent alarms.
• Places where the normal temperature can exceed 100°F (38.7°C) or go below 40°F (4.4°C), for example attics, furnace rooms, directly above ovens or kettles, as the steam could cause nuisance alarms.
• Near a decorative object, door, light fitting, or window molding that prevents smoke entering the detector.
• Surfaces that are normally warmer or colder than the rest of the room, for example, attic hatches. Temperature differences might stop smoke reaching the detector.
• Next to or directly above heaters or air conditioning vents, windows, and wall vents that can change the direction of airflow.
• In very high or awkward areas, for example, over stairwells where it is difficult to reach the detector for testing, silencing, or battery replacement.
Note: Locate the detector at least 1 m (39 in.) from dimmer controlled lights and wiring as some dimmers can cause interference.
Note: Locate the detector at least 1.5 m (59 in.) and route wiring at least 1 m away from fluorescent light fittings as electrical noise and flickering may affect the unit.

Mounting Your Detector on the Ceiling

Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling position is the recommended location to mount the detector. Mount smoke detectors away from corners.
Important: Keep smoke detectors at least 305 mm (12 in.) from walls and corners. Mount the detector at least 305 mm (12 in.) from any light fitting or decorative object that might prevent smoke entering the smoke detector.

Important: Before you mount the detector permanently, conduct a walk test. Review the control panel instructions to verify adequate signal strength and adjust the device location and orientation as necessary. You can mount the detector on the ceiling or on the wall.

Mounting Your Detector on a Sloping Ceiling

If you want to mount a smoke detector on a sloping or peaked ceiling, install it within 610 mm (24 in.) of the peak when the space is measured vertically. If this height is less than 610 mm (24 in.), consider the ceiling flat.

Mounting Your Detector on the Wall

If it is not practical to mount the detector on the ceiling, mount the detector a wall. Consider wall mounting only where close spaced beams or similar obstructions hinder ceiling mounting.
If you mount a detector on the wall, ensure that:
1. The top of the detection element is between 150 mm (6 in.) and 305 mm (12 in.) below the ceiling.
2. The bottom of the detection element is above the level of any door openings.
Important: It is the responsibility of the installer to determine if the presence of asbestos in the ceiling material makes the ceiling an impractical location to mount the device.

QS5130-840 Smoke/Heat Detector Installation

Complete the following steps to install your detector:
1. Select a location that aligns with the guidelines in your area of installation.
2. Lift off the mounting plate from the smoke detector.
3. Place the mounting plate on the ceiling exactly where you want to mount the detector. With a pencil, mark the location of the two screw holes.
4. Taking care to avoid any electrical wiring in the ceiling, drill holes through the center of the marked locations with a 5.0 mm drill bit. Push the provided plastic screw anchors into the drilled holes. Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling.
5. Insert the battery, ensuring the orientation is correct. If the battery is already installed in your detector, pull the battery tab to power the detector.
6. Rotate the detector anticlockwise. If you cannot twist off the detector, it may be tamperproofed. See Figure 6.
7. Carefully line up the detector on the mounting plate, gently press home, and twist clockwise. Install all the other detectors similarly.
8. Press Test/Hush on each detector to ensure that the detector works

Tamper Proofing Your Detectors

To prevent unauthorized removal of the detector, you can make the detector tamper proof.
1. Break off the small seal on the base. See Figure 6.
2. To remove the detector from the ceiling, use a small screwdriver to release the catch. Push the catch toward the ceiling and then twist off the detector.

Figure 6: Tamper proofing your detector
3. If necessary, use a No.2 or No.4 self tapping screw to firmly lock the detector and the mounting plate together. The detector does not include a self tapping screw. Use a self tapping screw with the following dimensions: Diameter = 2 mm to 3 mm (1/8 in.). Length = 6mm to 8mm (1/4 in.)
4. Attach the detector to the mounting plate. Line up the screw on the “U” shaped recessed area and screw in firmly.
5. To remove the detector from the ceiling, remove the screw first, and then twist off anticlockwise

QS5130-840 Smoke/Heat Detector Testing, Maintenance, and Power Supply Monitoring

Your detector is a life saving device. Test the detector immediately after installation and at least once a year.
 If you hold Test/Hush for more than 7 seconds, a red radio LED blinks for 2 seconds and a heat alarm occurs. This alarm is sent to the panel, so you can test the entire reporting path.
NOTE: Notify the central station when the smoke detector is undergoing tests so they do not dispatch authorities.

Manually Testing Your Detectors

Test your detectors after they are installed and then at least weekly to ensure the units are working. To manually test your detectors, complete the following steps:
1. Press and hold Test/Hush until the detector sounds and the red light flashes. The detector stops sounding shortly after you release the button.
2. Repeat this procedure for all other detectors in the system. Do not test with a flame. This can set fire to the detector and damage the house. Do not test with smoke as the results can be misleading unless you use specialist equipment.

Using the Test/Hush Button

The smoke detectors have a Test/Hush button to control nuisance or false alarms. When the detector sounds, if there is no sign of smoke or noise to indicate that there is a fire, assume that it is due to an actual fire. Evacuate the dwelling immediately. If there are frequent false alarms, relocate the smoke detector away from the source of the fumes.
1. To cancel a false alarm from a smoke detector, press Test/Hush. The smoke detector switches to a reduced sensitivity condition. The smoke detectors are silenced for a period of approximately 10 minutes. The alarm LED on the cover of the smoke detector flashes every 8 seconds to indicate that the unit is silenced.
2. The smoke detector resets to normal sensitivity at the end of the 10 minute silence period. If additional time is required, push Test/Hush again.
3. If the kitchen usage or layout causes too many nuisance alarms, relocate the smoke detector further away where it is less affected by cooking fumes.
NOTE: Use a heat detector in the kitchen area to avoid nuisance alarms.

Replacing Batteries

When the device battery power is low and replacement is necessary, the smoke detector beeps and the yellow light flashes at the same time once every 48 seconds for at least 30 days. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
When you replace the battery, press Test/Hush to check that the detector is functioning correctly.
NOTE: Replace the battery if the detector does not sound when you press Test/Hush.
CAUTION: Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble or recharge and do not dispose of in fire.
WARNING: Constant exposure to high or low temperatures or high humidity may reduce battery life. Use only Panasonic CR123A Batteries. If you use a different battery, it may have a detrimental effect on detector operation. QS5130-840 detectors are intended for use at ordinary temperatures where anticipated temperatures are not expected to exceed 100°C (212°F). Prolonged periods of alarm will also reduce battery life. The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated.

Cleaning your Detector

Clean your detector once every year. Use a soft bristle brush or the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove dust and cobwebs from the side slots where the smoke enters. To clean the cover, wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly
WARNING: Do not paint your detector.
Other than maintenance and cleaning, do not perform any other servicing of this product. Repairs must be performed by the manufacturer.

Cleaning the Detector Chamber

A suitably trained person should clean or replace the chamber cover. To clean the QS5130-840 detector chamber, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the detector from the mounting plate and remove the battery.
2. With a flat screwdriver unclip the three cover clip points and remove the cover.
3. Hold the thermistor PCB and pull the pins out of the sockets to unplug the thermistor.
4. To remove the chamber top, turn the chamber anticlockwise approximately 15°.
5. Use a soft bristled brush to remove dust and dirt form the chamber base.
6. Fit a new chamber top and clip in place by turning clockwise 15°.
7. Insert the thermistor PCB into the sockets and ensure the thermistor is perpendicular to the chamber.
8. Place the cover back on the detector, ensuring the thermistor protrudes out over the cover.
9. Replace the battery and reattach to the mounting plate.
10. Press the Test/Hush button to ensure the detector is working correctly.

Smoke Detector Automatic Self Test

The smoke chamber in the smoke detectors automatically tests itself every 16 seconds. If the chamber is degraded the detector beeps twice every 48 seconds and 2 yellow LEDs flash. If this happens, clean the unit. If the beeping persists and the beep does not coincide with a yellow light flash, return the unit for service.

Dust and Insect Contamination

All smoke detectors and particularly the optical or photoelectric detectors are prone to dust and insect ingress that can cause false alarms.
The latest design, materials, and manufacturing techniques are used in the construction of the detectors to minimize the effects of contamination. It is impossible to completely eliminate the effect of dust and insect contamination. To prolong the life of the detector, ensure that it is kept clean so that excess dust does not build up. Any insects or cobwebs near the smoke detector should be removed.
In certain circumstances, even with regular cleaning, contamination can build up in the smoke sensing chamber which causes the detector to sound. If this happens, return the smoke detector for replacement.
Important: Contamination is not covered by the warranty.

End Of Life

Replace the entire detector if the unit was installed more than 10 years ago. Check the expiry date on the side of the detector.
Before the detector is discarded, remove from the mounting plate and disconnect the batteries.
WARNING: Do not dispose of your detector in a fire.
Dispose of your detector in a safe and environmentally sound manner at your local recycle center. Contact your local authority for further advice.

QS5130-840 Smoke/Heat Detector Troubleshooting

Detectors sound for no apparent reason

1. If you enroll your detector and the interconnect feature is enabled, refer to your control panel to detect which device is causing the alarm.
2. Check for fumes or steam from the kitchen or bathroom. Paint and other fumes cause nuisance alarms.
3. Check for any sign of contamination such as cobwebs or dust.
 4. Press Test/Hush on the smoke detector causing the alarm. You can identify the detector in alarm by the alarm LED flashing rapidly. This silences the smoke detector and all other interconnected detectors in the system for 10 minutes.

The detector does not sound when you press Test/Hush

1. Check how old the detector is. See the Replace by label on side of detector.
2. If necessary, replace the battery or batteries with Panasonic CR123A batteries
