Every family member should participate in the escape plan.
l
Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires
l
occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quar-
ters.
It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without opening the interior door.
l
Consider the following when making your escape plans:
Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are easily opened. Ensure that
l
they are not painted shut and that the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for
l
their rescue should be developed. This plan includes making sure that those who are to per-
form the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided, as
l
well as training in its use.
Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio
l
doors in the winter and that outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.
The family should have a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted
l
for; for example, across the street or at a neighbor's house.
Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.
l
A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate first or attempt to fight the fire,
l
and do not attempt to rescue belongings or valuables as this takes up time. Once outside,
do not re-enter the house; wait for the Fire Department.
Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency ever arise,
l
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when
there are more or fewer family members in the home or if there are changes to the house.
Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are
l
unsure about system operation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
It is recommended that you contact your local Fire Department and request further inform-
l
ation on home fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention
officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.
Testing Your Smoke Detector
Follow the test procedure described here or contact your smoke detector dealer or installer
for testing instructions. It is recommended to test the entire alarm system at least once a
week to verify the operation of all system functions.
Smoke Detector Unit Test
Initiate test by pressing the test button for 5 seconds, the sounder makes chirping noises during
this time. Press the button until the unit alarm sounds, an alarm should be sent to the control
panel. When the button is released, the alarm should cease. If this does not occur, ensure bat-
teries are the correct type, in good condition and are installed correctly.
Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector, check the unit's sensing chamber
to ensure proper operation. To test the sensing chamber, use an aerosol test gas such as 'Solo
A10 smoke detector tester'. Shake the can well, aim it at the smoke detector and spray a short
burst (no more than 1 second) at the detector. If the alarm does not sound, repeat every 10
seconds until alarm sounds or for a maximum of 1 minute. If the smoke detector does not func-
tion properly, call your smoke detector installer or dealer for service.
Smoke Detector Test
Before you test, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the battery and then mount the detector on the bracket before conducting the
smoke detector test.
2. After the battery is inserted, wait 2 minutes before testing it. The detector enters into Local
Diagnostic Test Mode for 15 minutes.
3. It is recommended to perform the Periodic Test and use either the Installer code (Installer
Diagnostic Mode) or the User code (User Diagnostic Mode) to test.
CAUTION: The diagnostic test cannot be performed when the tamper is open.
Press and hold the test button for 2 seconds. When the button is released, the following
sequence of events occur, the Red LED lights for 0.5 s > off for 0.5 s.
This is followed by 2 loud alarm beeps and at the same time the red LED flashes. In test mode,
the detector tests smoke, heat, and battery functions.
If the detector is in diagnostic mode, the detector performs the diagnostic test as described
below.
Sensitivity Indicating Means
If the detector is indicating 'Detector Dirty' with a Yellow LED flash every 8 seconds, a chirp
every 48 seconds and a fire clean message on the panel, the detector's in built automatic drift
compensation feature is no longer able to compensate for dust and dirt accumulation and may
no longer be within the marked sensitivity. If the detector is indicating 'Normal' with Green LED
flash every 60 seconds it is within the marked sensitivity range.
NOTE: If the panel dispays the fire clean message after cleaning, call the installer or dealer for
service.
Diagnostic Test
The following sequence of events occur during a diagnostic test:
A. The detector performs a link quality test.
Note: The detector must be in local or diagnostic mode to perform the link quality test.
In diagnostic mode, if you press the test button for more than 6 seconds, an alarm
