Alarm Memory
The Alarm memory is an important feature where even if the house is unoccupied
during an alarm condition it warns the homeowner that the device has previously
detected Fire and been in alarm. The device which has alarmed will flash the red led
twice every 48 seconds for the next 24 hours. In addition, the next test button event
after the alarm condition will give a "chirping sound pattern" and rapid flashing red led
to indicate that this device has previously alarmed.
Memory reset
The action of pressing the test button will also reset the alarm memory.
