Alarm Silencer (Hush
TM
)
The alarm silencer (Test/Hush
TM
button) is extremely useful
in a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms.
The alarm silencer (Hush
TM
) has the capability of
temporarily desensitising the alarm circuit for about 8
minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known
alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the
alarm.
The smoke alarm is desensitised by pushing and releasing
the alarm silencer on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke
is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately. The
red LED will Illuminate every 10-11 seconds to indicate
that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitised condition.
The smoke alarm will automatically reset after
approximately 8 minutes. If after this period particles of
combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.
The alarm silencer (Hush
TM
) can be used repeatedly until
the air has been cleared of the condition causing the
alarm.
NOTE:
Dense smoke will override the alarm silencer
(Hush
TM
) and sound a continuous alarm.
CAUTION:
Before using the alarm silencer (Hush
TM
),
identify the source of the smoke and be certain a safe
condition exists.
Alarm Removal
To remove the alarm from the mounting plate, rotate the
alarm anti-clockwise in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on
the cover. If the tamper-resist feature has been used, refer
to Alarm Tamper-Resist Feature section for removal
instructions.
