Alarm Silence Mode
WARNING:
Before silencing an active alarm you must ensure the
environment is safe. Do not silence the alarm in the event of an actual
fire, as this may prevent other occupants from evacuating.
When in alarm mode, pushing the test button will silence the unit for
approximately 10 minutes. The red LED will flash as per the Status
Indicators section to indicate that the alarm has been silenced.
The alarm will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes. If after
this period there are still signs of a potential fire then the alarm will sound
again. The alarm silence mode can be repeated.
Do Not Disturb Mode
When the alarm is indicating any kind of fault it will chirp as per the
Status Indicators section. Pressing the silence button at this time will
silence the warning for approximately 8 to 10 hours, ideal for postponing
corrective action overnight.
The alarm will still continue to monitor for signs of a potential fire during
this time, providing the fault does not prevent normal operation, so it may
go into alarm mode. The alarm’s Do Not Disturb Mode only prevents the
fault warning chirp.
