After wiring together the Interconnect Smoke Alarms, test the
first unit by pressing the button. All the detectors should
alarm and the test button on the first unit will flash about once
every 2 seconds. Check all the other units similarly.
When interconnected units are in alarm, the red flashing light
indicates the unit sensing smoke.
These Smoke Alarms should be interconnected only within
the confines of a single family living unit. If they are connected
between different units there may be excessive nuisance
alarms. Everybody may not be aware that they are being
tested or that it is a nuisance alarm caused by cooking etc.
(d) Silencer Smoke Alarm Ei100S
This model has a special false alarm silencer feature to help
you control nuisance false alarms.
1. To cancel a false alarm, press the Silencer Button located
on the lower right-hand corner. The Alarm will automatically
switch to a reduced sensitivity condition. This condition allows
unwanted alarms to be silenced for a period of approximately
8 minutes.
2. The unit will reset to normal sensitivity at the end of the
silenced period. If additional silenced time is required, simply
push the Silencer Button again.
3. To quickly return to normal non-silenced operation, simply
push the Test Button; the alarm will sound briefly and return
to its normal, sensitive alarm mode.
4. If the cause of the alarm is not clear, it should be assumed
that it is due to an actual fire and the dwelling should be
evacuated immediately.
If usage/layout is such that there are an unacceptable level of
nuisance alarms, even with the Silencer Smoke Alarm,
re-locate the Smoke Alarm farther away from the kitchen
where it will be less affected by cooking fumes.
When using household protective devices, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including those listed
on next page.
• Please read all instructions.
• Rehearse emergency escape plans so everyone at home
knows what to do in case the alarm sounds.
• For replacement batteries, refer to the information inside
smoke alarm.
• NOTE: Constant exposure to high or freezing temperatures
or high humidity may reduce the life of the batteries.
• Do not disconnect battery to stop alarm sounding. (Fanning
vigorously with a newspaper or similar will remove
nuisance smoke from the Smoke Alarm and stop it
sounding.)
• Do not attempt to recharge or burn batteries, as they may
explode. Wrap in paper and discard normally.
