the detector cover over the smoke sensor and turn clockwise until it snaps 
into place.

2. Twist the detector counterclockwise and lift it off of the mounting base. 
3. Remove the plastic tag in the battery compartment to connect the 

battery.

4. Ensure the battery is seated.

The wireless smoke detector must be registered to function in your 
EchoStream system. Transmitters must be registered with the system in 
order to be monitored and supervised. EN1244, EN1244A and EN1244Z 
wireless smoke detectors send a check-in message every three minutes; 
EN1244-60 wireless smoke detectors send a check-in message every 60 
minutes.

Note: For UL 2560 installations, transmitters must have a minimum check-
in time of 60 minutes.

Refer to your receiver, network coordinator or control panel manual for 
registration instructions. Inovonics recommends all EchoStream 
transmitters be supervised. 

Note: The wireless smoke detector needs twenty seconds to initialize after 
power up, during which you will be unable to register devices. During this 
initialization period, both LEDs will blink every five seconds.

5. When prompted to register the device, use a small screwdriver or Allen 

wrench with a diameter of less than 0.18” to press the recessed test 
button (See Figure 1). 

1. Choose a location for the wireless smoke detector, paying attention to 

the following guidelines.

Caution: Regulations pertaining to smoke detector installations vary. For 
more information, contact your local fire department or local authority 
having jurisdiction.

• Install a minimum of two smoke detectors in any household.
• Put a smoke detector in the hallway outside of every bedroom area.
• Put a smoke detector on every level of a multi-level residence. 
• In rooms with sloped ceilings, install smoke detectors 0.9m (3 feet) 

measured down from the highest point of the ceiling.

• Install basement detectors on the ceiling as close to the center of the 

room as possible. If this is not practical, install on the ceiling no closer 
than 10cm (4 inches) from any wall or corner.

• If ceiling mounting is not practical, install on an inside wall between 10 

an 15cm (4 and 6 inches) from the ceiling.

• Put smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the hallway 

is more than 9m (30 feet) long. Large rooms over 84 square meters 
(900 square feet) require more than a single detector.

• Areas with rough ceilings or short, transom-type walls coming down 

from the ceiling require additional smoke detectors.

• Install second-floor smoke detectors on the ceiling at the top of the 

first-to-second floor stairwell. Be sure that no door or other obstruction 
blocks the path of smoke to the detector. 

Do not locate detectors:

• To a drop ceiling panel; mount it to a metal runner as shown in figure 

2.

• In or near areas such as kitchens or garages, where smoke or vehicle 

exhausts normally occur (protect these areas with heat-detection 
devices, not with smoke detectors); near furnaces, hot water heaters, 
or gas space heaters.

• In damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers. 

Install detectors at least 1.5m (5 feet) away from bathrooms.

• In very cold or very hot areas.
• In dusty, dirty, or insect infested areas. 
• Near fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Air 

conditioners, heater, fans, and fresh air intakes and returns can drive 
smoke away from smoke detectors.

• In dead air spaces at the top of a peaked ceiling or wall/ceiling 

intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke 
detector.

• Near fluorescent light fixtures. Install smoke detectors at least 3m (10 

feet) away from fluorescent light fixtures.

• Between protruding ceiling structures such as beams or walls which 

can create dead air spaces and may prohibit smoke from reaching the 
detector.

Caution: All detectors are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-
warn for a variety of reasons. For example: Smoke detectors cannot detect 
smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door; 
detectors may not detect smoke on other levels of the building; detectors 
may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, 
improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other 
hazardous conditions.

Do install:

• Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas.
• On every floor of the building.
• In every room that contains a fuel-burning appliance.

Note: If the room with a fuel-burning appliance is not normally used, such 
as a boiler room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so 
that the alarm can be more easily heard.

Warning: In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a 7.87” 
(20 cm) distance must be maintained between all persons and the wireless 
smoke detector.

Do not install:

• Within 10 feet of any cooking appliance.
• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven.
• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts.
• Near an extractor fan or air vent.
• Outside.
• In any environment that does not comply with the detector’s 

environmental specifications.

• In or below a cupboard.
• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture.
• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor.
• Where the detector could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently 

removed.

2. Referring to figure 3, use the included mounting screws and dry walk 

anchors to mount the wireless smoke detector base.
