5.NUISANCE ALARMS

moke alarms are designed to minimise nuisance alarms. Cigarette smoke will not

normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm.

Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the alarm is located close

o the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from

spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside

(non-recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the

kitchen.

This model 10Y29 has a HUSH control that is extremely useful in areas prone to nui-

sance alarms. For more information refer to Section 4, OPERATION AND TESTING.

If the alarm does sound, check for fires first. If a fire is discovered, get out and call

the fire service. If no fire is present, check to see if one of the reasons listed in Section

2 may have caused the alarm.

6.MAINTENANCE

BATTERY ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION

NOTE: One lithium battery, permanently sealed inside the alarm, powers this unit; no

battery installation or replacement is necessary for the life of the alarm.

WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE ALARM FOR ANY REASON!

To activate the alarm, attach the alarm to the mounting bracket by rotating in the

direction of the arrows on the cover, see ACTIVATING ALARM in Section 3

(INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS).

This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit. which will cause the alarm to "chirp"

every 60 seconds (with a red LED flash every 30 seconds), for a minimum of 30 days,

when the unit reaches low battery. Prior to the low battery chirp the LED will flash

twice every 30 seconds for a period of 30 days. The purpose of this is to alert the user

that the alarm will be entering low-battery and allows the alarm to be changed at a

time of convenience to the user (i.e. chirping can be avoided during unsociable hours).

After the unit's 10 year life, the LED will flash once with two chirps every 30 seconds

(replace alarm).

To deactivate the alarm remove the alarm from the mounting bracket by rotating the

alarm in the direction indicated by the arrows on the cover of the alarm.

NOTE: TAMPER RESIST FEATURE in Section 3 (INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS). Explains

how to remove alarm from base.

WARNING! DO NOT REMOVE THE ALARM UNTIL LOW BATTERY OR END

OF ALARM LIFE (described above).
