Just curious Larry - why would you just wire a standard light switch to
the hot lead for the detector, and turn it on and off as you please? Or
- a pull chain switch like used in fluorescent lights, that you could
mount to the junction box the detector is wired into?

That would also work, but I think the prior solution would work on a
battery unit which would be easier.
