If it fails to test properly when you use the test button, or if the problem persists, replace the Heat Alarm immediately. • If you hear a “chirp” once a minute, replace the battery. • If you experience frequent non-emergency alarms try relocating the Heat Alarm. • If the alarm sounds when no smoke is visible, try cleaning or relocating the Heat Alarm. The cover may be dirty. • If the alarm does not sound during testing, make sure it is receiving AC power from the household current. Always discharge the branch circuit before servicing an AC or AC/DC Heat Alarm. First, turn off the AC power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Next, remove the battery from Heat Alarms with battery back-up. Finally, press the test button to discharge the branch circuit. Do not try fixing the alarm yourself – this will void your warranty! If the Heat Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty, please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” in the Limited Warranty. UNDERSTANDING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS AND ALARM HORN PATTERNS Condition LED Horn AC POWER ON LED shines GREEN Silent; no audible (Normal operation) continuously alarm DC POWER LED flashes GREEN One horn “chirp” to (Battery back-up once per minute while signal loss of AC active) battery powers unit power RESUME AC POWER GREEN LED turns ON Horn “chirps” one time to signal resumption of AC power DURING TESTING LED flashes RED, the Audible alarm: (Under AC or DC same pattern as the 3 beeps, pause, power) horn repeating horn pattern ALARM CONDITION* LED flashes RED, the Audible alarm: (Initiating Unit) same pattern as the 3 beeps, pause, horn repeating horn pattern LATCHING ALARM LED flashes RED once Silent; no audible ACTIVE** (Under AC every 5 seconds alarm or DC Power) ALARM SILENCE LED flashes RED once No signal every 5 seconds LOW BATTERY GREEN LED flashes Horn “chirps” once once every minute per minute, in sync with LED. NOTE: If the battery is VERY LOW, the horn may either chirp once per second, or sound continuously MALFUNCTION LED flashes RED Horn “chirps” three (Unit MUST be rapidly three times, in times, in sync with replaced) sync with three horn three LED flashes “chirps”, once every minute *When any Heat Alarm in an interconnected series triggers an alarm, its red LED will flash rapidly. The red LEDs will not flash on any remaining alarms in the series. This feature helps responders identify which unit(s) triggered the alarm. **The Latching Alarm indicator is activated after an Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of heat. After heat levels drop below alarm levels, the LED begins to flash RED once every 5 seconds. See “The Latching Alarm Indicator” for details. 5 IF THIS HEAT ALARM SOUNDS RESPONDING TO AN ALARM During an alarm, you will hear a loud, repeating horn pattern: 3 beeps, pause, 3 beeps, pause. • If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the alarm may result in injury or death. • Never disconnect the AC power or remove the battery back-up to quiet an unwanted alarm. Disconnecting the power disables the alarm so it cannot sense heat. This will remove your protection. • If the unit alarms and you are not absolutely certain of the source of the heat, get everyone out of the house immediately. • ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD: Attempting to disconnect the power connector from the unit when the power is on may result in electrical shock, serious injury or death. When an interconnected system of units is in alarm, the Red LED on the unit(s) that initiated the alarm will flash in sync with the horn. The LED will not flash on any remaining units. WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE • Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan. • Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything. • Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed, unless you must escape through them. • Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp). Take short, shallow breaths. • Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely. • Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name. • Never go back inside a burning building for any reason. • Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer. USING THE SILENCE FEATURES If you are absolutely certain the alarm is caused by a non-emergency, non-fire situation, you may use the Silence Feature to silence the Alarm. The Silence Feature on this unit can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for up to 15 minutes. The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct a problem. The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence the Alarm horn. It will not extinguish a fire. To temporarily silence the alarm: 1. Option 1: P...
