NOTE – for multiple interconnected smoke alarms, only the RED indicator light (LED) of
the originating unit will flash rapidly. All other units in the interconnect system will sound
an alarm but their RED indicator light (LED) will NOT flash. Test each alarm checking that
the alarm is triggered on all other alarms installed.
HUSH OR SILENCE FEATURE
• This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature incorporated into the Test
button. If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause the unwanted alarm, it can be
temporarily silenced by depressing the test button and holding for approximately three
seconds. The alarm will enter a dormant period for ten minutes. The red LED will flash
every ten seconds to indicate the sensitivity is reduced. At the end of the hush period
the alarm will reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE – If the smoke density increase during this period (i.e. from a fire) the unit will go
into alarm mode.

LOW BATTERY WARNING
• If the smoke alarm emits a short ‘beep’ once a minute the battery is at the end
of its life and should be replaced immediately. This low voltage warning will be
given for at least 30 days. In this case, the other interconnected units in the
system which are not in low battery condition will chirps for a few seconds once
an hour as long as the detector with the “dead” battery beeps.
• If the red indicator light (LED) does not flash every minute then replace the
battery.

with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT

is replaced.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
•
This is a multiple station photoelectric smoke alarm and can be connected
to other alarms of the same make and type. The interconnect feature
allows up to 40 units to be connected together over a distance of 150
metres maximum, using the single white wire, therefore allowing all alarms
to sound when any one is activated.
Note: This smoke alarm cannot be connected to any other device such as a
fire alarm panel.
• All the Smoke Alarms should be interconnected to ensure the early
warning will be heard, particularly by somebody sleeping. A properly
designed early warning fire system ensures the alarm is given before the
escape routes become blocked with smoke.
