Troubleshooting using the Latching Alarm Indication
Callbacks on smoke alarms can cost you wasted time, labor and material. It can also cause concern and aggravation for the homeowner. Worse yet how do you troubleshoot the event
after it is over? During the event it is often difficult to pinpoint the initiating unit in a home with many interconnected alarms. To find the initiating unit you must look for the alarm with a fast blinking light while the alarms are sounding. If the event stops before the alarm is found there is no way of telling which unit initiated the event using this method. Good news! There is a solution.
Latching Alarm Indication – Alarm Latch and Low Battery Latch
Every BRK photo and ion smoke, combination and CO alarm has a Latching Alarm feature. The unit “latches” or remembers which alarm initiated the event. The Latching Alarm feature will remain active until you press the test/silence button. This makes troubleshooting the jobsite quick and easy. Just look for the alarm with the Latching Alarm indication. Clean, reposition or replace the initiating alarm if necessary. That’s it. There is no need to waste your time and effort replacing the other alarms. Also, BRK alarms feature a Low Battery Latch that is activated when the Alarm is in the "low battery condition". Similar to Latching Alarm feature, a light will be blinking on the alarm with a low battery. Replace the battery and you’re done. Not all Latching Alarm indicators are the same on BRK alarms. See the table below to identify your model number and Latching Alarm light pattern:
*Note: Latch can be indicated with Smoke LED, CO LED or Both
