Tamper Resist Features

This alarm has a tamper resist feature, which helps prevent someone from

removing the unit from the mounting bracket. Activate the smoke alarm tamper

resist feature by breaking off the four posts in the square holes in the mounting

bracket (see Figure 9A). When the posts are broken off, the tamper resist tab on

the base is allowed to engage the mounting bracket. Rotate the alarm onto the

mounting bracket until you hear the tamper resist tab snap into place, locking

the alarm on the mounting bracket. Using the tamper resist feature will help

deter children and others from removing the alarm from the bracket. NOTE: To

remove the alarm when the tamper resist tab is engaged, press down on the

the tamper resist tab, and rotate the alarm off the bracket (see Figure 9B).

4. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION

The smoke alarm is operating once AC power is supplied, a fresh battery is

installed and testing is complete. When the smoke alarm ionization chamber

senses products of combustion, the horn will sound a loud (85db) temporal

alarm until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke particles.

Smart HUSH

CONTROL: The Smart HUSH

feature has the capability of tem-

porarily desensitizing the smoke sensing circuitry in order to quiet your alarm

while you take care of a non-emergency event. This feature is to be used only

when a known alarm condition, such as smoke from cooking, activates the

alarm. Activate Smart HUSH

control by pushing the button on the smoke alarm

cover. If the smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately. The

green LED will blink every 2 seconds for approximately 7 minutes to indicate

that the alarm is in a temporarily desensitized condition. The smoke alarm will

automatically reset after approximately 7 minutes, and will sound again if parti-

cles of combustion are still present. The Smart HUSH

feature can be used

repeatedly until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.

Pushing the test button on the alarm will end the HUSH

period.
