9. Functions of the outer test button
The smoke detector switches on automatically after placing it in its
base. The control LED in the test button will flash red once per minute
in normal mode. With the test button, the following functions can be
carried out:
- Hush or Silence Feature:
The smoke detector has a hush or silence feature. If cooking or other
non-hazardous events cause an unwanted alarm, it can be tempo-
rarily silenced by pressing the test button for 1 second. The alarm
will enter a dormant period for 10 minutes. The red LED will flash
every 8 seconds to indicate the reduced sensitivity. At the end of the
hush period, the alarm will reset to normal sensitivity.
NOTE - If the smoke density increases during this period (i.e. from a
fire) the unit will return into alarm mode.
- You can test the smoke detector's function by pressing the test button
for 3 seconds. The alarm will sound as 3 loud beeps, the control LED
will flash rapidly and a signal is transmitted for 20 seconds to all
signolux-receivers within RF signal range. Please note that no sig-
nal is transmitted to further Interlink smoke detectors.
