Discuss dicon smoke alarms: PROBLEMS!!! in the Security Alarms, Door Entry and CCTV (Public) area at ElectriciansForums.net

also what ever smoke alarms i install aico and dicon both all smokes i always use the test button never seem to be a problem ever, just tests and goes off no problem at all
 
Dicon smokes will time out, you have to wait the pause duration. Aico smoke dectectors dont have the pause feature on their smokes. when using test button hold down firmly until alarm sounds, any release will put the smoke into pause. This is just thaught to your problem and may not be the answer, But hopefully gives you another faut to iliminate.
 
Remember Aico does a self test 20 minutes after you initiate a manual test I had this with a tenant who said there was a problem so he thought pushing the manual test would sort this
