cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are gener-
ated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood
which vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help
remove these combustible products from the kitchen.
If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered,
get out and call the fire department. If no fire is present, check to
see if one of the reasons listed in section 2 may have caused the
alarm.
The Model P9040 has a “HUSH” control that is extremely useful in
a kitchen area or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more
information refer to section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.
6. MAINTENANCE
BAtteRY RePlACemeNt
Please refer to section 3 for removal instructions. The tamper-resist
tab will have to be released in order to change the battery.
To replace the battery, remove the alarm from the mounting plate
by rotating the alarm in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the
cover (see figure 7).
The Model P9040 Smoke Alarm is powered by a 9V battery
(carbon zinc and alkaline batteries may be used). A fresh battery
should last for one year under normal operating conditions. This
alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm
to “chirp” approximately every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of
seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery
when this condition occurs.
