Use and Care Manual

This alarm has a low battery HUSH feature. If the alarm is sounding a low bat-

tery warning chirp, you can silence this chirp for approximately 13 hours by

pressing the Test/Hush button.

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.

SAFETY LIGHT: The model i12080A has a Safety Light feature. When the

smoke alarm ionization chamber senses smoke, the 85 db horn will sound and

the Safety Light will illuminate until the sensing chamber is cleared of smoke

particles.

NOTE: THE SAFETY LIGHT IS NOT INTENDED TO SATISFY THE REQUIRE-

MENTS FOR APPROVED ILLUMINATION UNDER VARIOUS LOCAL CODES.

VERY THICK AND/OR DENSE SMOKE MAY OBSCURE THE LIGHT.

LED INDICATORS: This smoke alarm is equipped with red and green LED indica-

tors. The green LED (when illuminated) indicates the presence of AC power. The

red LED ( located under the Test / Hush button) has four modes of operation:

Standby Condition: The red LED will flash every 40 seconds to indicate

that the smoke alarm is operating properly.

Alarm Condition: When the alarm senses products of combustion and

goes into alarm, the red LED will flash one flash per

second. The flashing LED and pulsating alarm will

continue until the air is cleared.

WHEN UNITS ARE INTERCONNECTED, only the red LED

of the alarm which senses the smoke or is being tested

(the originating unit) will flash. All other units in the

interconnect system will sound an alarm but their red

LED’s will NOT be flashing.

Alarm Memory: This smoke alarm is equipped with an alarm memory, which

provides a visual indication when an alarm has been activated.

The red LED will illuminate for about 1.5 seconds every 20

seconds to indicate the memory condition.

The memory will

remain activated until pushing the test button resets it or will

time-out between 11 to 13 hours. In an interconnected installa-

tion only the memory of the originating alarm will be activated

Hush

mode: The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 10

seconds, indicating the smoke alarm is in the Hush

mode.
