Operation And Testing - Kidde PI9000 UK User Manual

TAMPER RESIST FEATURE: To make your smoke alarm tamper
resistant, a tamper resist feature has been provided. Activate the
tamper resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square
holes in the trim ring (see figure 6). When the posts are broken
off, the tamper resist tab on the base is allowed to engage the
mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the trim ring until you
hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking the alarm on
the trim ring. Using the tamper resist feature will help deter chil-
dren and others from removing the alarm from trim ring. NOTE: To
remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press
down on the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off of the
trim ring (see figure 6).

porarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximately 8 minutes.
This feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition,
