This alarm is designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally cause the unit to alarm, unless
the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if it is located too
close to a cooking appliance. Large quantities of combustible 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 prevent nuisance alarms from
occurring by removing these combustible products from the kitchen.
Locate
In an interconnected system (all units will be alarming together), a unit that detects smoke and initiates an alarm is called
the “initiating alarm unit.” Initiating alarm units will be flashing the Green LED every second during alarm. Depending on
unit locations, and the location of the source of smoke, it is possible to have more than one initiating unit. If you suspect
a nuisance alarm situation, you can use this feature to help you locate the initiating alarm unit(s) in a wireless alarm
interconnect system.
Push the button on any non-initiating wireless unit, and ALL wireless units EXCEPT the initiating alarm unit(s) will silence
for two minutes. You can use the LOCATE feature repeatedly until you find the initiating alarm unit(s), or the air has been
cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
NOTE: Hush® and Locate features are dependent on the type of models in your interconnect system. Non-wireless
models cannot receive the wireless Locate feature and will continue to alarm until the initiating unit is Hushed or
the Smoke/ CO condition clears.
WARNING: THIS UNIT DOES NOT DETECT CO, BUT IT WILL TRANSMIT A CO ALARM SIGNAL FROM AN
INTERCONNECTED CO OR SMOKE/CO COMBINATION ALARM. THE LOCATE FEATURE CAN BE USED FOR
CO ALARM EVENTS ALSO PUSHING THE TEST/ HUSH BUTTON ON A COMPATIBLE INTERCONNECTED
ALARM, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF A CO ALARM USING SIGHT OR SMELL.
ALWAYS CONSIDER A CO ALARM EVENT AS DANGEROUS.
