OFF - AC power is not present. RED LED - Can be seen through the Push-to-Test button. Blinks once a minute - Indicating presence of a working battery. Blinks once a second - Smoke alarm senses smoke and simultaneously sounds an audible alarm. Blinks once every 10 seconds - Smoke alarm is quieting an unwanted alarm (Model ADC only). (Interconnected system only): OFF - Another smoke alarm in the network has sensed smoke and is signalling this alarm.

New smoke detector, light flashing green, is that right

did you connect it to the electricity? this unit is not battery only; it requires connection to the household electricity. the only thing i could find in the manual makes it look like it's indicating low battery, but if it's not chirping once per minute as well then i would guess that it's looking for power

Is it normal for a garrison smoke detector to have a flashing red light ?

Yes in normal operation the red light should flash intermittently every 30-40 seconds.this lets you know the battery has sufficient power for detecting smoke.when the battery needs replacing the unit should beep/ chirp in singular sound every 60-90.if smoke I'd detected the difference is very obvious as the shrill beep is continuous and much louder.

I just fixed a new Kidde alarm hardwired with both the features CO monoxide and smoke alarm. I bought this from Home Depot. The alarm is working fine but the green led light is flicking. I don't think that...

The normal condition for the green LED is solid. A flashing green LED indicates memory of a prior alarm condition. Press the test for at least 2 seconds to reset the detector memory.
