FALSE ALARM CONTROL™
Model ADC features a False Alarm Control™ that, when activat-
ed, quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes.
To use the False Alarm Control™:
Press and release the test button during an unwanted alarm. The
alarm should stop within ten seconds. This means the smoke
alarm is in False Alarm Control™. Just before returning to normal
operation, the smoke alarm will sound two short beeps. This sig-
nals the end of False Alarm Control™.
If the smoke alarm does not go into False Alarm Control™ and
continues to sound its loud, alarm horn, the smoke is too heavy
and could be a possibly dangerous situation— take emergency
action.
TESTING THE
SMOKE ALARM
WARNING
•
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 testing. 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. Observe the green LED. A constant green light indicates the
smoke alarm is receiving 120V AC power.
2. Firmly depress the Push-to-Test button for at least five (5)
seconds. The smoke alarm will sound a loud beep about four
(4) times a second. 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.
DANGER: If alarm horn sounds, and smoke alarm
is not being tested, the smoke alarm is
sensing smoke. THE SOUND OF THE
ALARM HORN REQUIRES YOUR
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION.
