SMART HUSH

Control and Locate Feature
Heat Nuisance
HUSH

If you know why the alarm is sounding, and you can verify that it is not a life threatening situation, you can
push the button on the initiating alarm (green LED flashing every second, interrupted by T3 RED LED alarm
pattern) to silence the alarm for 8-10 minutes. If the unit does not detect a dangerous situation, that alarm,
and all interconnected alarms will silence. After the HUSH
®
period, the heat alarm will automatically reset
and sound the alarm if heat is still present. You can use HUSH
®
repeatedly until the air has been cleared of
the condition causing the alarm.
NOTE :
If the alarm continues to sound its alarm, the heat in the area is too high and a dangerous situation
may exist – take emergency action..
Locate
In an interconnected system (all alarms will be alarming together), an alarm that detects smoke or heat,
and initiates an alarm is called the “initiating alarm unit.” Initiating alarm units will be flashing the Green
LED every second during alarm (interrupted by the T3 RED LED alarm pattern). Depending on alarm loca-
tions, and the location of the source of smoke or heat, it is possible to have more than one initiating alarm.
If you suspect a nuisance alarm situation, you can use LOCATE feature to help you locate the initiating
alarm unit(s) in a wireless alarm interconnect system. Push the button on any non-initiating wireless alarm,
and ALL wireless alarms EXCEPT the initiating alarm unit(s) will silence for two minutes. You can use
the LOCATE feature repeatedly until you find the initiating alarm unit(s), or the air has been cleared of the
condition causing the alarm.
NOTE:
HUSH
®
and Locate features are dependent on the type of models enrolled in the wireless inter-
connect system. Non-wireless models cannot be enrolled in the wireless interconnect system and therefore
cannot receive the wireless Locate feature; they will continue to alarm until the initiating alarm is Hushed or
the Smoke/Heat condition clears.
