Smoke Detectors

Three smoke detectors are installed :

• in the Hall near the entrance to the big kitchen
• in The Learning Centre
• and in the hallway adjacent to The Learning Centre.

The smoke detectors are Chubb photoelectric and are supposed to be less prone to nuisance alarms.

The alarms look like this:

• There are two buttons which can be reached from the floor with the stick we use to manage the hanging electric extension cords.
• You will find this stick hanging on the wall next to the door into the Hall from the Learning Centre.
• You can't read the writing on the alarm from the floor so the HUSH button (alarm silencer) has been coloured black and the TEST button next to it remains white.
• The smoke alarm will automatically reset after 11 minutes

NOTE: dense smoke will override the alarm silencer (Hush) and a continuous alarm will sound

Before silencing an alarm you must be certain a safe condition exists.
