Alarm Test
Be sure to test your alarms when you turn them on for the first time, or when the group configuration has
changed. In addition to the weekly tests you should perform, it is recommended to test the alarm after returning
from a long trip or vacation.
If your
X-SENSE S-RF500
is interconnected to other wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual
alarm is tested during the weekly test.

NOTE: The test function accurately tests the alarm’s smoke sensing circuit without the need to test with
smoke. If your smoke alarm fails to give an audible test signal, please refer immediately to the
troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual. Never use an open flame to test this device.
