Owner's Manual

Interconnecting Model G Smoke Alarms
•Model G smoke alarm may be interconnected with as
many as 17 other Model G smoke alarms. DO NOT con-
nect to any other type or model smoke alarm.
•Connect smoke alarms to a single AC branch circuit. If
local codes do not permit, be sure the neutral wire is
common to both phases.
LED Indicator (on Model G)
This smoke alarm features an LED indicator that can be seen
through the Push-to-Test button. The LED indicates the following:
LED ON–indicating normal operation.
OFF–smoke alarm senses smoke and simulta-
neously sounds an audible alarm.
(Interconnected system only):
ON–another smoke alarm in the network has
sensed smoke and is signaling this alarm.
Testing the Smoke Alarm
•Test each smoke alarm to be sure it is installed correctly
and operating properly.
•Test all smoke alarms in an interconnected system
after installation.
•The Push-to-Test button accurately tests all functions. DO
NOT 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 several days.
•Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm when test-
ing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency
and can be harmful to hearing.
Test all smoke alarms weekly by doing the following:
1. Check Push-to-Test button. A constant green light indi-
cates the smoke alarm is receiving 120V AC power
(Model AD only).
2. Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button for at least five
(5) seconds. The smoke alarm will sound a loud beep
about three (3) times over a four-second period. The
alarm may sound for up to 10 seconds after releasing
the Push-to-Test button.
NOTE:
If smoke alarms are interconnected, all smoke alarms
should sound an alarm within three seconds after any test
button is pushed and the tested smoke alarm sounds.
3. If smoke alarm does not sound, turn off power at main
fuse box or circuit breaker and check wiring. Retest
smoke alarm.
REPLACE OR RETURN THE ALARM IF THE PUSH-TO-TEST
FUNCTION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER FOLLOW-
ING THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED ABOVE (see REPAIR on
page 7).
Practice Fire Safety
If the smoke alarm sounds its alarm horn, and you have not
pushed the test button, it is warning of a dangerous situation.
Your immediate response is necessary. To prepare for such
occurrences, develop family escape plans, discuss them with
ALL household members, and practice them regularly.
•Expose everyone to the sound of a smoke alarm and
explain what the sound means.
•Determine TWO exits from each room and an escape
route to the outside from each exit.
•Teach all household members to touch the door and use
an alternate exit if the door is hot. Instruct them not to
open the door if the door is hot.
•Teach household members to crawl along the floor to stay
below dangerous smoke, fumes, and gases.
•Determine a safe meeting place for all members outside
the building.
