8. After installation, test your alarm by depressing and holding
down the test button for several seconds. This should sound
the alarm.
4. OPERATION AND TESTING
OPERATION: The smoke alarm is operating once fresh batteries are
installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ioniza-
tion chamber senses products of combustion, the horn will sound
a loud (85db) temporal alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared
of smoke particles.
HUSH CONTROL ( if equipped): The "HUSH" feature has the capa-
bility of temporarily desensitizing the alarm circuit for approximate-
ly 7 minutes. This feature is to be used only when a known alarm
condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the alarm. The
smoke alarm is desensitized by pushing the "HUSH" button on the
smoke alarm cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will
silence immediately and "chirp" every 30 -40 seconds for approxi-
mately 7 minutes. This indicates that the alarm is in a temporarily
desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will automatically reset
after approximately 7 minutes and sound the alarm if particles of
combustion are still present. The "HUSH" feature can be used
repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing
the alarm. Pushing the test/reset button on the alarm will end the
hush period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL
FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDEN-
TIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE
CONDITION EXISTS.
SAFETY LIGHT: The model 0918 has a Safety Light feature. When
the smoke alarm ionization chamber senses smoke, the 85 db
horn will sound and the Safety Light will illuminate until the sens-
ing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.
NOTE: THE SAFETY LIGHT IS NOT INTENDED TO SATISFY THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR APPROVED ILLUMINATION UNDER VAR-
IOUS LOCAL CODES. VERY THICK AND/OR DENSE SMOKE
MAY OBSCURE THE LIGHT.
