8. BUILT-IN FALSE ALARM CONTROL - WARNING
Before using the alarm's false alarm feature, fully identify the source of the
smoke and make certain that the area is safe. Nuisance sources such as
kitchen cooking areas can cause nuisance or false alarms. Built into Firex
Model TPCI smoke alarms is a special false alarm feature that lets you
silence false alarms from nuisance sources.
Features:
• The False Alarm Control will temporarily silence the alarm for approxi-
mately 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes the unit will automatically revert to the fully alert mode.
• Very dense smoke will automatically override the Hush control and
sound the alarm.
• The False Alarm feature can be used repeatedly to silence the alarm
until the air is cleared.
• This feature is to be used only when a known condition (e.g., smoke
from cooking) activates the alarm.
• To operate, push the False Alarm/Test button. The alarm will silence
immediately and the red light will blink approximately every 10 seconds
for the next 15 minutes.
• At the end of 15 minutes the smoke alarm will beep twice. This signals
the end of the False Alarm Control.
• It will automatically revert to the fully alert condition. If smoke particles
are still present, the alarm will sound again.
• If interconnected alarms are installed, the unit that detects the smoke
and sounds the alarm cannot be inadvertently silenced by the False
Alarm/Test button of other units. In this case all of the units will contin-
ue to sound for as long as smoke is detected or until the False
Alarm/Test button of the triggering alarm is pressed.
• The smoke alarm produces an audible sound of 85 decibels at 3
metres.
