4. Operation and Testing
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries are installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ion ization chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
Hush® CONTROL: The Hush®feature has the capability of tem porarily 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. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immedi ately and the red LED will flash once every 10 seconds for approxi mately 8 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approxi mately 8 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The Hush®feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
