Questions and answers
I just installed smoke alarms wondering why red light flashes continuously or if this normal?
The red LED on the SITERWELL GS526A smoke alarm flashes under different conditions:
- Standby Condition: The red LED flashes every 40 seconds to indicate normal operation.
- Alarm Condition: The red LED flashes rapidly (one flash per second) when smoke is detected.
- Silence Condition: The red LED flashes every 8 seconds in Hush mode.
- Low Battery Trouble Indication: The red LED flashes every 40 seconds along with an intermittent chirp.
If the red light is flashing continuously and rapidly, it indicates an alarm condition. If it flashes at regular intervals, it may be in standby, hush mode, or indicating a low battery.
