Sensor Features and Functions
Testing the Smoke Sensor
Every unit should be tested weekly to ensure proper operation.
To test the smoke sensor, press and release the
button on the front face.
The sensor will sound with 3 beeps and FIRE will
flash rapidly.
All four icons will strobe to indicate a successful
test.
The unit will then send out a network test
command and all other safety sensors on the
network will perform the steps above.
If the sensor fails, the horn will sound. Clean the
unit (as described in this manual) and retest. If the
sensor still fails, contact the manufacturer.
The smoke sensor is equipped with a silence feature that will decrease the
sensitivity of the unit and silence nuisance alarms.
If in the course of normal activity, cooking smoke,
steam or other gases cause the smoke sensor to
activate, the unit can be silenced for ten minutes
by pressing the button on the front face of the
sensor.
The silence feature will also silence any alarms
that were triggered remotely. However, the
initiating smoke sensor must be silenced directly.
If the quantity of smoke is too great, the
alarm will not silence until the air has
cleared sufficiently.
