4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once the alarm is acti-
vated (see Section 3) and testing is complete. When products of
combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85db pulsating
alarm until the air is cleared.
SMART HUSH CONTROL: The SMART HUSH feature has the
TM TM
capability of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approxi-
mately 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 immediately and the red LED will illuminate for 1 sec-
onds every 8 seconds for 7 to 9 minutes. This indicates that the
alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm
will automatically reset after approximately 8 minutes and sound
the alarm if particles of combustion are still present. The SMART
HUSH TM feature can be used repeatedly until the air has been
cleared of the condition causing the alarm. Pushing the test/reset
button on the alarm will end the temporarily desensitized period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE SMART HUSH
TM
CONTROL FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
