4. Test/Hush BUTTON DOES NOT SILENCE

ALARMS:

If there are a number of alarms interconnected and

they are all sounding, pressing the Test/Hush button

on the unit sensing CO (i.e. the one with the red light

flashing) will silence the system. Pressing any other

Test/Hush button will not silence the alarms. The

Test/Hush button will only silence the unit once at CO

levels less than 300 ppm CO during a CO incident.
Alternatively, if an optional Ei1529RC Remote

Control is fitted, pressing the LOCATE switch when

all alarms are sounding will silence all alarms apart

from the alarm that is sensing CO/Smoke/Heat.
This area can then be safely investigated and if

determined that it is a false alarm, press the HUSH

switch to silence the alarm.
