When an alarm is triggered, an in-app message will appear and an alarm push notification will be sent to your smartphone. When one alarm is triggered, all devices connected to the system and the base station will sound an alarm simultaneously. The base station will automatically mute after 10 minutes of continuous alarm. After the base station stops the alarm, all devices in the interconnected system will still alarm. In the case that the base station powers off and is disconnected from the network, all devices are still interconnected, so when one alarm is triggered, all will go off. The volume level of the base station is adjustable. The alarms andbase station can be remotely muted through the app. An app push notification will be sent to your phone when the smoke drops below the alarm threshold. 1. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke:
When one XS01-M smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with red LED flashing. Any other unitswill follow suitthey will beep 3 times every 4 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession (or only red LED flashing for XS01-M). When the smoke concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease. 2. If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO:
When one CO alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. Any other unitswill follow suitthey will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED that flashes red 4 times first, followed by the LED that flashes green once with every beep (or only red LED flashing for XS01-M). When the CO concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease. For more details, please seeLED Indicator and Audible Alarm. Green, Red & Yellow LED NOTES When one unit is triggered, other interconnected units will sound.
