4. Operation and Testing
OPERATION:
The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is applied
and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization chamber
senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85dB)
temporal alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
The backup battery is activated as soon as AC power is supplied and will
remain active until the alarm reaches the end if its useful life or is
manually deactivated.
To permanently deactivate the battery for return or disposal purposes
prior to it reaching end of life: turn off AC power, remove the alarm
from the mounting bracket, disconnect the AC wires, puncture the label
on the back of the unit, and press the small switch using a pen or other
thin tool. The alarm will rapidly beep 10 times indicating that it has been
deactivated.
DO NOT USE ALARM IF LABEL HAS BEEN PUNCTURED!
Smart HUSH
™
CONTROL:
The “HUSH” feature has the capability of
temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for 10 minutes or less. This
feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke
from cooking, activates the alarm. The HUSH feature cannot be activated
unless the smoke alarm is sounding in the originating alarm mode. The
smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the “TEST / HUSH” button on the
smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence
immediately. The green LED will blink once every 3 seconds while in hush.
This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition.
The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes
or less and sound the alarm if particles 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 / Hush
button on the alarm will end the hush period.
