Common causes and avoiding false alarms
The Smoke Alarm may be triggered by steam,
condensation, normal smoke or fumes. Small insects
getting into the smoke alarm chamber may cause
intermittent alarms. Keep away from these sources to
avoid nuisance alarms. (See “Areas to be avoided” in the
“Positioning the smoke alarm” section.)
This Smoke Alarm has a built-in Hush or Silence feature
incorporated into the Test button
If cooking or other non-hazardous sources cause the
unwanted alarm, it can be temporarily silenced by
depressing the test button and holding for approximately
3 seconds. The alarm will enter a dormant period for
10 minutes. The red LED will flash every 10 seconds to
indicate the sensitivity is reduced. At the end of the hush
period the alarm will give two short beeps, the alarm will
then reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE - If the smoke density increases during this period
(i.e. from a fire) the unit will go into alarm mode.
On interconnected alarms, pressing the test/hush button
on the sensing smoke unit will mute all alarms. However,
pressing the hush button on any other unit will NOT
cancel the alarm.
Action in the event of a false alarm
If there is a false alarm, simply press the test / hush
button on the cover to mute the unit for 10 minutes.
Check the house carefully in case there is a small fire
smouldering somewhere.
Check whether there are some sources of smoke or
fumes. You should get your family into a safe place
before your investigation.
If there are frequent nuisance/ false alarms it may be
necessary to re-locate the device. If for some reasons
the alarm continues to give false alarm, the units can
be silenced by disconnecting the mains power and
removing the unit. If cleaning the alarm does not correct
the problem it can be returned to the place where you
bought it.
