Firex C, B Special Smoke Alarm Features, Using The Tamper Resist Locking Mechanism, To Remove

USING THE TAMPER RESIST LOCKING MECHANISM

To make the smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a locking pin has been provided in the base of the unit. It will help deter a child or other individual from removing the smoke alarm from the bracket. See Figure 7. This can be installed using the following directions.

SPECIAL SMOKE ALARM FEATURES

If your smoke alarm has one or more of these special features, read the following:

•BLINKING LED LIGHT (Models B, C, E and PB): The indicator light under the Push-to-Test button blinks about once per minute to indicate the smoke alarm is receiving power.

•FALSE ALARM CONTROL (Model C): Simply push the test button to temporarily silence the smoke alarm if a nuisance alarm occurs or to prevent nuisance alarms. By momentarily depressing the test button, your alarm will automatically switch to a special reduced sensitivity condition for up to 15 minutes, after which it will reset to its full normal sensitivity. If a real fire occurs, however, and the quantity of smoke reaching the smoke alarm is sufficiently great, the unit will sound an alarm. The reduced sensitivity level is only intended to eliminate nuisance alarms caused by light concentrations of smoke. If additional reduced sensitivity time is required, push the button again. Every time the smoke alarm is tested it will enter the reduced sensitivity condition for up to 15 minutes and then automatically switch back to full normal sensitivity.

•SAFETY LIGHT (Model E): This smoke alarm uses a miniature lamp designed to last for an average of 15 hours of continuous operation. When you push the test button the light will flash along with the alarm sounding to indicate it is working properly.

WARNING: VERY THICK SMOKE MAY OBSCURE THE LIGHT.
