alarm devices with lights or vibrating devices to alert
occupants.
7: Smoke alarm devices can only sound their alarms when they
detect smoke or detect combustion particles in the air. They
do not sense heat, flame, or gas. This smoke alarm device is
designed to give audible warning of a developing fire.
However, many fires are fast - burning, explosive, or
intentional, and others are caused by carelessness or safety
hazards. In this circs, Smoke may not remake the unit alarm
QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.
8: Smoke alarm devices have limitations. This smoke alarm
device is not foolproof and is not warranted to protect lives
or property from fire. Smoke alarm devices are not a
substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters should
insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for
the smoke alarm device to fail at any time. For this reason,
you must test the smoke alarm device weekly and replace
unit every 10 years.
Do Not Install Smoke alarm devices in
the Following Places:
1: Near appliances or areas where normal combustion
Regularly occurs (kitchens, near furnaces, hot water heaters).
Use specialized smoke alarm device with unwanted alarm
control for this areas.
2: In areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or areas near
dishwashers or washing machines. Install al least 10feet
away from these areas.
3: Near air returns or heating and cooling supply vents. Install
at least 3 feet away from these areas. The air could blow
smoke away from the detector, interrupting its alarm.
4: In rooms where temperatures may fall below 5℃or rise
above 45℃,or in humidity higher than 85%. These
conditions will reduce battery life or cause a fault alarm.
5: In extremely dusty, dirty, or insect – infested areas influence
particles interfere with smoke alarm device operation.
Operation:
Testing
Test the unit to ensure proper operation by pressing the test
button, this will sound the alarm if the electronic circuitry,
horn, and battery are working. If no alarm sounds, there is a
defective battery or other failures, you can refer to “Trouble
shooting” section for solution.
DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could
damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a
fire.
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,
Always stand an arms-length away from the unit when testing.
Test the alarm weekly to ensure proper operation. Erratic or low
sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm,
you can refer to “Trouble shooting” section for solution.
NOTE: WEEKLYTESTING IS REQUIRED.
LED indicators
Red LED-Flashing once every 40 seconds: indicates that the
smoke alarm device is operating properly.
Red LED-Flashing when the test button is pressed, or when
the smoke alarm device senses particles of combustion and goes
into alarm (constant pulsating sound), the red LED will flash
once per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will
continue until the air is cleared or release test button.
Red LED-Alarm silencer (Hush mode) indication: The red
LED will flash once every 8 seconds, indicating the smoke
alarm device is in the alarm silence (Hush) mode.
Low battery indication - An intermittent “chirp” with red LED
flashes once every 40 seconds: indicates that the smoke alarm
device is low battery, you may press the test button for pause
alarm for 10 hours, but it will reset automatically after 10 hours.
Fault indication - The alarm chirp occurs every 40 seconds.
NOTE:When the units chirp once every 40 seconds, you can
press the test button temporarily for pausing this warning tone
for 10 hours,it can still normally detect smoke during this
period, it only removes nuisance warning tone. You can refer to
“Trouble shooting” for solution, if there are still failures, you
MUST replace it with a new alarm at once or contact you
retailer during warranty.
Alarm silence (silence mode)
During the unit is alarming, you push the test button, it will be
paused the unit alarming for approx 10 minutes. The red LED
will flash once every 8seconds, it indicates the smoke alarm
device is running into the silence mode. Smoke alarm devices
are designed to minimize nuisance alarms. Combustion
particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is
located close to the cooking area. Large quantities of
combustible particles are generated from spills or when
grilling/frying. Using the fan on a range hood that vents to
outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these
combustible particles from the kitchen. The alarm silence (test
button) is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas
prone to nuisance alarms. The silence feature is to be used only
when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking
activates the alarm.
The smoke alarm device is desensitised by push the alarm
Silence (silence mode) on the smoke alarm device cover, the
