THE

YOUR
IMM
EDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.
FALSE
ALARM
CONTROLTM
Model ADC features a False Alarm
Control™
that, when activat-
ed, quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.
To
use the False Alarm Control™:
Press and release the test button during an unwanted alarm. The
alarm should stop within ten seconds. This means the smoke alarm
is
in False Alarm Control™. For Model ADC
in
an interconnected
system, the red LED on the initiating alarm will continue to blink until
reset by pressing the TEST button.
If
the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm
Control™
and contin-
ues to sound its loud alarm horn, or if
it
initially goes into False Alarm
Control™
then resounds the alarm, the smoke
is
too heavy and could
be a possibly dangerous
situation-
take emergency action.
• Test each smoke alarm to be sure it is installed correctly and
operating properly.
• Test
all
smoke alarms in an
in
terconnected system after installation.
• The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all functions. DO N
OT
use an open flame to test this smoke alarm. You may ignite and
damage the smoke alarm or your home.
• Test smoke alarms weekly and upon returning from vacation or
when no one has been in the household for sever
al
days.
• Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm when testing. The
alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency and can be
harmful to hearing.
FIELD TESTING IMPORTANT NOTICE:
When testing is required in the field by local inspectors or other par-
ties,
it
should be done using only the Smoke Detector Sensitivity
Analyzer model #5
01
-1 manufactured by Gemini Scientific
Corporation. Follow the Gemini test and set-up instructions provid-
ed by the manufacturer, and use the obscuration limits provided on
the back of the smoke alarm. Refer to the smoke alarm's instruc-
tion manual for maintenance and push-to-test operation.
Test all smoke alarms weekly by doing the following:
1. Observe the green LED. A constant green light indicates the
smoke alarm is receiving 120V AC power.
2.
Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button f
or
at least five (5)
seconds. The smoke alarm will sound a loud beep about four
(4) times a second. On Model ADC, the alarm will sound 2
short reduced-volume beeps, then 1 short loud beep followed
by a pause, then the pattern repeats. The alarm may sound for
up to 10 seconds after releasing the Push-to-Test button.
