What does the button on the Smoke and Heat sensor do?

The large button on the front of the Smoke & Heat sensor has two uses:

  • Toggle Non-emergency Response Mode to On and set the duration of time you require to perform your test
• You can now proceed with the alarm test
  • Press and hold the large test button in the center of the sensor. Verify the red LED is flashing and that the alarm ramps up to full sound.
  • Verify that your control panel has also alarmed
  • Disarm your panel

Silencing a false alarm

• If the Smoke & Heat sensor is currently in alarm, press and hold the large button for 10 seconds to silence the alarm for 10 minutes.
• If the Smoke & Heat sensor sounds a second alarm after this 10 minutes, double check that the sensor is placed in an optimal location and/or clean the sensor with a vacuum.
