Operation and Testing, Nuisance Alarms

8.Turn on the A.C. power. The green A.C. Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from A.C. power.

TAMPER RESIST LOCKING PIN: To make your smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a locking pin has been provided with your alarm. Using this pin will deter children and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. To use the pin, insert it into the hole in the side of the alarm after the alarm has been installed on the trim ring (see Figure 5)

NOTE the tamper resist pin will have to be removed in order to change the batteries. Use a long nose pliers to pull the pin out of the hole. It is now possible to remove the detector from the trim ring.

After installation, TEST your alarm by pressing and holding the test button for several seconds, or by blowing smoke into the alarm. This should sound the alarm.

CAUTION! Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equip- ment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity of - but outside of the bedroom), and heat or smoke alarms in the liv- ing room, dining room, kitchen, hallways, attic, furnace room, closets, utility storage room, base- ment, and attached garage.

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once A.C. power is applied, fresh batteries are installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm’s photoelectric chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) pulsing alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flashing red indicator LED. The LED is located under the test button and has three modes of operation.

Standby Condition The red LED will flash every 30-40 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 rapidly (2-3 times per second). The rapid flashing LED and pulsating alarm will continue until the air is cleared.

Low Battery Condition The LED flash will be accompanied by an audible chirp. Replace the battery when this condition occurs.

SMOKE SENSING CHAMBER OPERATION: This alarm will “chirp” if any of the components in the smoke sensing chamber fail. This chirp will occur between the flashes of the red LED indicator light. (If the chirp occurs at the same time as the red LED flash, see Section 6 for low battery infor- mation.)

WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED, only the red LED of the unit which senses the smoke or is being tested (the originating unit) will flash rapidly. All other units in the interconnect system will sound an alarm but their red LED’s will NOT flash rapidly.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and hold it down for a minimum of 5 sec- onds. This will sound the alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the alarm circuit. If the alarm still does not sound, the unit has defective batteries or other failure. You can also test the alarm by blowing smoke into it.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it should be returned for service (see Section 11).

5. NUISANCE ALARMS

Smoke alarms are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of com- bustible particles are generated 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 depart- ment. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section 2 may have caused the alarm.
