Testing Your Smoke Detector - Smanos SMK-500 Manual De Instrucciones

Red LED Indicator
The red LED, as the ALARM indicator, is featured with the detector.
It can be seen through the test button on the cover of the detector.
When red LED flashes once 32 seconds, it indicates the detector
under normal operation. When smoke detector senses smoke and
simultaneously sounds an audible alarm, the red LED will flash very
frequently, once 0.67 seconds.

Testing Your Smoke Detector

Test the detector weekly by pushing firmly on the test button with
your finger until the horn sounds. Testing method may take up
to 5 seconds to sound the alarm horn. These are only ways to be
sure that detector is working correctly. If the detector fails to test
properly, have it repaired or replaced immediately.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to test your detector. You may
set fire to damage the detector, as well as your home. The built-
in test switch accurately tests all detector functions, as required by
Underwriters' Laboratories. They are the only correct ways to test
the unit.
WARNING: When you are not testing the unit and the alarm horn sounds
a loud continuous sound, this means the detector has sensed smoke or
combustion particles in the air. Be sure that the alarm horn is a warning of a
possible serious situation, which requires your immediate attention.
The alarm could be caused by a nuisance situation. Cooking smoke
or a dusty furnace, sometimes called "friendly fires" can cause the
alarm to sound. If this happens, open a window or fan the air to
remove the smoke or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the air
is completely clear.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the battery from the detector. This will remove your
protection from fires.
Using The Silence Feature
The silence feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for
up to 8 minutes. To use the feature, press the"TEST" button .When
remain in silence, the LED will flash once every 8 seconds (for up to
8 minutes) to remind you the alarm has been stopped. The flashing
LED will stop when the unit returns to normal operation.
WARNING: The silence feature does not disable the unit. It is temporarily less
sensitive to smoke. For your safety, if smoke around the unit is dense enough
to suggest a potentially dangerous situation, it will stay in alarm, or may
realarm quickly. If you do not know the source of the smoke, do not assume it
is an unwanted alarm. Not responding to an alarm can result in property loss,
injury or death.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the battery from the detector. This will remove your
protection from fires.
If a beep or chirp virtually simultaneously with an LED flash once
a minute, this means the detector's battery is weak. Replace new
battery immediately.
