WARNING: TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARM OPERATION AFTER MOBILE HOME HAS BEEN IN STORAGE OR UNOCCUPIED AND AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK DURING USE.
2.LOCATIONS TO AVOID
•In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your motor vehicle.
•Less than 10 cm (4”) from the peak of an “A” frame type ceiling.
•In an area where the temperature may fall below 4ºC (40ºF) or rise above38ºC (100ºF), such as garages and unfinished attics.
•In dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to alarm.
•In very humid areas. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.
•In
•Smoke alarms should not be installed within 3 ft (.9m) of the following: the door to a kitchen, the door to a bathroom containing a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high air flow areas.
•Kitchens. Normal cooking may cause nuisance alarms.
•Near fluorescent lights. Electronic “noise” may cause nuisance alarms.
•Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
3.OPERATION AND TESTING
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the alarm is activated by your Installer and testing is complete. When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared. If there is any question as to the cause of the alarm, it should be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire and the dwelling should be evacuated immediately.
HUSHTM CONTROL: The HUSHTM feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 8 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the HUSH® button on the smoke alarm cover. The alarm will silence immediately and the red LED will flash every 1.5 seconds for 8 min- utes. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The HUSHTM feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will end the temporarily desensitized period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL NOT OVERRIDE THE HUSHTM CONTROL FEATURE.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSHTM FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
FLASHING LED LIGHT: This smoke alarm is equipped with a flashing red indicator light with four modes of operation:
•The LED will flash every
•The LED will flash every 1.5 seconds when the alarm is sounding.
•The LED will flash every 1.5 seconds while the alarm is in the temporarily desensi- tized mode.
•If alarm memory has been set (see below for alarm memory description), the LED will flash rapidly when the test button is pressed.
