9. Operation And Testing
This model meets the latest residential smoke alarm standards, which includes
enhanced resistance to nuisance alarms from cooking.
Operation
The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete (see “Testing”
below). When products of combustion (smoke) are sensed, the unit sounds a loud
alarm. See Section 1 for alarm signal descriptions.
Step 3: Install the alarm fully on the mounting
bracket by rotating the alarm in a clockwise
direction. (Figure 8-E)
NOTE: The alarm will mount to the bracket in
2 positions.
The alarm is now activated! After installation
/ activation, test your alarm as described
in Operation and Testing section.
WARNING : FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL
AND ACTIVATE THIS ALARM WILL PREVENT
PROPER OPERATION OF THIS ALARM AND WILL
PREVENT ITS RESPONSE TO FIRE HAZARDS.
Kidde alarms are not designed, agency tested
or certified for recessed mounting and should
not be installed in this manner. Recessed
mounting impedes smoke entry into the smoke chamber, which may prevent
the alarm from sounding in a timely manner. This could endanger the lives of
occupants in the residence. Kidde alarms are designed, tested and certified for wall
(if applicable) and ceiling surface mount only.
