NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL
FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE
SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
LED INDICATORS:
This smoke alarm is equipped with red and green
LED indicators. The green LED (when illuminated) indicates the presence
of AC or battery backup power. The red LED operates in unison with the
sounder during alarm and error mode conditions:
Standby Condition:
The green LED will be lit continuously if AC power
is present or flash every 30 seconds if powered by battery backup only.
Alarm Condition:
When the alarm senses products of combustion and
goes into alarm, the red LED will flash with the sounder and the green
LED will flash once per second. The flashing red LED and pulsating alarm
will continue until the air is cleared. WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED,
only the green LED of the alarm which senses the smoke or is being
tested (the originating unit) will flash. All other units in the interconnect
system will sound an alarm but their green LED’s will remain constat to
indicate AC power or flash once every 30 seconds when on battery backup.
Alarm Memory:
This smoke alarm is equipped with an alarm memory,
which provides a visual indication of when an alarm has been activated.
The green LED will flash once every 16 seconds to indicate the memory
condition (AC powered and battery backup). The memory will remain
activated until the button is pressed causing the alarm to rapidly beep 3
times and reset the alarm memory function. In an interconnected
installation only the memory of the originating alarm will be activated. If
the battery power is low due to insufficient charge, this feature is over
ridden and the green LED will function to indicate either AC power is
present or Battery backup operation
Hush
®
mode:
The green LED will blink every 3 seconds, indicating the
smoke alarm is in the Hush
®
mode.
Testing:
Test by pushing the Test/Hush button on the cover. This will
sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry and horn are working. In an
interconnected installation all interconnected alarms should sound when
the Test/Hush button on any of the interconnected alarm is pressed.
After completing its test cycle the Green LED will be off for
approximately 30 seconds while the unit completes its self test.
