7. Operation and Testing
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL AND ACTIVATE
THIS ALARM WILL PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF THIS ALARM
AND WILL PREVENT ITS RESPONSE TO FIRE AND/OR CARBON
MONOXIDE HAZARDS.
OPERATION: The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is
complete.
The photoelectric smoke sensor monitors the air for the presence of
products of combustion. When products of combustion, (smoke), are
sensed, the unit sounds a loud 85 dB pulsing alarm with voice message.
The voice message for smoke detection is “Fire! Feu!”. The red LED
blinks in time with the alarm pattern and the strobe will flash every
second. This will continue until the air is cleared.
The carbon monoxide (CO) sensor monitors the air for the presence of
CO. It will alarm when there are high levels of CO present, and when
there are low levels of CO present over a longer period of time. When a
CO condition matches either of these situations, the alarm will sound a
loud 85 dB pulsing alarm with voice message. The voice message for CO
detection is “Warning! Carbon Monoxide! Monoxyde de carbone!”. The
red LED blinks in time with the alarm pattern and the strobe will flash 4
times, go off for 5 seconds, and then repeat until the air is cleared.
The CO sensor meets the alarm response time as follows:
At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes.
At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10-50 minutes.
At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm within 4-15 minutes.
WARNING: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm,
always stand an arm’s length (about 2.5 feet) away from the
unit or use ear protection when testing, and avoid looking at the
bright strobe directly, or cover it with your hand.
Strobe Synchronization
This strobe alarm will automatically synchronize (flash at the same time)
with other P4010ACLEDSCA and P4010ACLEDSCOCA strobes that are
part of the interconnected system. Synchronization will take up to 20
seconds when in alarm.
NOTE: The alarms will not synchronize during test mode.
TESTING: Test your alarm by pressing the test button (dome) until the
unit chirps, then release the test button.
