Operation And Testing - Kidde P3010K-CA User Manual

5. Operation And Testing

OPERATION: The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is
complete. When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a
loud 85db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared.
TESTING: Test your alarm by pressing the test button until the unit
chirps, then release the test button. The unit will then emit 2 sets of
three slow beeps.
Model P3010B-CA will also issue a voice prompt stating "Fire! Fire!
Feu! Feu!"
Model P3010H-CA will briefly illuminate the amber safety light.
The alarm will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are
working. If the alarm does not sound, the unit must be replaced.
Warning: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,
always stand an arm's length (about 2.5 feet) away from the
unit or use ear protection when testing.
Weekly testing is required to ensure proper operation. Erratic or
low volume sound (or no sound) coming from your alarm may indicate
a defective alarm and it should be returned for service. See deactivation
section to determine how to prepare the unit for shipment or disposal.
Warning: DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you
could damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start
a structure fire.
