Operation

LED Indicators
This alarm is equipped with red and green LED indicators:
The green LED (when illuminated) indicates the presence of
AC power.
The red LED has four modes of operation:
Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 30-40
seconds to indicate that the smoke alarm is operating
properly.
Alarm Condition: When the alarm senses products of
combustion and goes into alarm, the red LED will flash one
flash per second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will
continue until the air is cleared.
WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED, only the red LED of
the alarm which senses the smoke or is being tested (the
originating unit) will flash. All other units in the interconnect
system will sound an alarm but their red LED's will NOT
flash.
Alarm Memory: This smoke alarm is equipped with an alarm
memory, which provides a visual indication when an alarm
has been activated. The red LED will illuminate for about 1.5
seconds every 16 seconds to indicate the memory condition.
The memory will remain activated until pushing the test
button resets it. The memory will also reset if the battery
voltage drops to 8 volts. In an interconnected installation
only the memory of the originating alarm will be activated.
Hush ® mode: The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds
every 8 seconds, indicating the smoke alarm is in the Hush
®
mode.
