Smoke HUSH Control Feature
The HUSH feature has the capability of temporarily desensitizing
the smoke alarm circuit for approximately 9 minutes. This feature
is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as smoke
from cooking, activates the alarm. You can put your Smoke/CO
Alarm in HUSH mode by pushing the test/reset button. If the
smoke is not too dense, the alarm will silence immediately, the
unit will verbally announce “HUSH MODE ACTIVATED”, and the
green
LED will flash every 2 seconds for approximately 9
minutes. This indicates that the smoke alarm is in a temporarily
desensitized condition. Your Smoke/CO Alarm will automatically
reset after approximately 9 minutes. When the unit returns to
normal operation after being in HUSH mode, it will verbally
announce “HUSH MODE CANCELLED”, and sound the alarm if
smoke is still present. The HUSH feature can be used repeatedly
until the air has been cleared of the condition causing the alarm.
While the unit is in HUSH mode, pushing the test/reset button on
the alarm will also end the HUSH period.
NOTE: DENSE SMOKE WILL OVERRIDE THE HUSH CONTROL
FEATURE AND SOUND A CONTINUOUS ALARM.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE,
IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A
SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.
Reset Feature
If the the Smoke/CO Alarm is sounding a CO alarm, pressing the
test/reset button will silence the alarm.
If the CO condition that caused the alert continues, the alarm will
reactivate within 200 seconds.(see page 21).
CO Peak Level Memory
If the green LED is blinking once every 10 seconds, the unit has
detected a hazardous CO condition. If the CO sensor has
detected a CO level of 100 PPM or higher since last reset, it will
be recorded by the Peak Level Memory function. To access the
Peak Level Memory press the test/reset button. If a reading of
100 PPM or higher has been recorded, the unit will announce
“Carbon Monoxide Previously Detected.” If you’ve been away
from home this feature allows you to check if there was a CO
reading of 100, or higher, during your absence. Pushing the
test/reset button resets the memory. It’s also reset when the
battery is removed.
