LED Indicators
This alarm is equipped with red and green LED indicators:
The green LED
(when illuminated) indicates the presence of
AC power.
The red LED
(located under the test / hush button) has four
modes of operation:
Standby Condition:
The red LED will flash every 40 seconds to
indicate that the smoke alarm is operating properly.
Alarm Condition:
When the alarm senses products of
combustion and goes into alarm, the red LED will flash one
flash per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will
continue until the air is cleared.
WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED, only the red 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 red LED’s will NOT
flash.
