How can I tell which smoke alarm in a multi-station (interconnected) installation initiated the alarm?
While the unit is alarming, the smoke alarm which initiated the alarm (either by test button or sensing smoke) will flash the red LED light approximately once per second. The red LED light on the other non-initiated interconnected smoke alarms will not be lit but will sound the alarm. • After I press the test button and release the button, the unit stops sounding but then chirps about once a minute for a while and then stops. Why? ANSWER: Smoke alarms that have a SILENCE feature to silence false alarms chirp when they are in the SILENCE mode to indicate that they are in the SILENCE mode. During the SILENCE mode, the unit is completely functional, however, the sensitivity is somewhat reduced for approximately 8 minutes. The smoke alarm will automatically reset after approximately 8 minutes. • What is the total number of smoke alarms (or devices) I can interconnect? ANSWER: Twelve. • How long does a battery usually last in a smoke alarm? ANSWER: 9 Volt Carbon Zinc battery will last a min
