Alarm Operation What to do when the alarm sounds
LED indicators
Green LED: Connected to mains voltage power supply.
Red LED: Flashing approximately every 32 seconds indicates
that the smoke alarm is operating properly.
RED LED-Flashing: When the Test button is pressed, the smoke alarm
senses smoke particles, the alarm goes into alarm
mode (constant pulsating sound) and the red LED
will flash once per second. The flashing LED and
pulsating sound will continue until the test button is
released, the air is cleared from alarms sensors or
the ambient temperature is normal.
RED LED-Alarm silencer (Hush mode) indication:
The red LED will flash every 8 seconds, indicating the
alarm is in the silenced (hush) mode.
Alarm silence (hush mode)
•
Optical: Push TEST button to silence the alarm.
• This silence feature is only to be used when a known alarm condition,
such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. This feature is
useful in areas such as kitchens to prevent nuisance alarms.
•
The alarm will automatically reset itself after approx. 8 minutes.
Should smoke particles still be present, the alarm will sound again.
Locating the initiating alarm (Nuisance alarms)
In the event of a nuisance alarm, although all interlinked alarms in the
system sound, RED LED will flash only on the initiating alarm making it easy
to identify.
CAUTION: Before using the alarm silence (hush), identify the source of the
smoke and be certain that a safe condition exists.
1. Alert small children in the home to quickly follow the family escape
plan.
2. Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so
don’t waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
3. In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface.
If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that
door! Instead, use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is
cool, place your shoulder against it, open it slightly and be ready to
slam it shut if heat and smoke rush in.
4. Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through
a cloth, wet if possible.
5. Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure
everyone is there.
6. Call the fire department from your neighbour’s home – not from
yours!
7. Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right
to do so.
8. If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm, it should be
assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire and the dwelling
should be evacuated immediately.
Note: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire,
however, to reduce the chance that fires will start,
practice fire safety rules to prevent hazardous situations.
Plan of Escape
•
It is recommended that a plan of escape is developed and practiced.
A floor plan indicating doors and windows should be made and, if
possible, that two routes of escape are established.
• It is also recommended that fire extinguishers are installed and
maintained.
DANGER: If the alarm sounds, and it is not being tested, it means the unit
is sensing smoke, THE SOUND OF THE ALARM REQUIRES YOUR
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.
