What to do when the Alarms go off

1.If there is a fire, immediately evacuate the premises and telephone the
fire brigade from outside.

2. When the alarms go off and the cause is not obvious, immediately press
the ‘Locate’ switch. This will silence all the alarms except those sensing
fire themselves.

3. Locate the alarm(s) sensing fire audibly. Be careful, check doors are not
warm and that there is no sign of smoke before you open them (See
escape plan in Smoke/Heat Alarm instructions for further details).

4. If you are fully satisfied that there is no fire, but the smoke/heat alarm is
still continuing to alarm then press the ‘Hush’ switch.

• Locate Switch – primarily used to identify the Smoke/Heat Alarm
sensing fire.

When all the alarms are sounding due to a fire (or nuisance alarm):

Press and release the spring loaded Locate switch.This will silence all the
alarms except those sensing fire.

This is a very useful feature. For example, consider twelve alarms
sounding simultaneously, then the unit sensing the fire can be identified
audibly and the premises evacuated or the problem quickly resolved.

• Hush Switch - used to silence nuisance alarms. This should only be
pressed after the Locate switch has been used to identify the smoke/heat
alarm that triggered the system, and it is determined that no fire is present.

Do not Hush the alarms unless you are sure there is no fire.
To Hush the alarms, press and release the Hush switch.
