LOCATE
This mode enables the originating smoke/heat alarm signal to be identified. Press and hold the LOCATE button for 3 seconds, the red indicator built into the button body of the Alarm Controller will illuminate for approximately 5 minutes. All alarms, other than the one sensing smoke/heat, will stop sounding for the same period. Once the originating alarm is identified via the LOCATE button, the alarm can be checked and corrected, refer to the nuisance and false alarm section in the user manual for the related alarm. The locate function automatically resets after the locate time elapses.
SILENCE
The Red Smoke Alarm RAC240 provides a means of silencing all alarms. When the SILENCE button is activated, the silence function removes (approximately 5 minutes) both primary and secondary power to the smoke/heat alarms, disabling all connected alarms.
