4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once a fresh battery is
installed and testing is complete.  When products of combustion
are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the
air is cleared.

INTELLIGENT HUSH

TM

CONTROL

Note: The model 29J does not have Hush

®

The “HUSH

®

” feature has the capability of temporarily desensitiz-

ing the alarm circuit for up to 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 desensitized by pushing
the “HUSH

®

” button on the smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is

not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately and the red LED
will flash every 1.5 seconds while in Hush®. This indicates that the
alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm
will automatically reset after 8 minutes and sound the alarm if par-
ticles of combustion are still present. 

The “HUSH

®

” feature can be used repeatedly until the air has

been cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the
test/reset button on the alarm will end the Hush

®

period.
