Test function:
After installation and at least once per quarter,
test your alarm to make sure it is operating
correctly.
When the bottom button is pressed the alarm
will sound, once the button is released, the
alarm will conduct a self-test of the sensor
and battery for approximately 9 seconds.
During this delay all three LEDs will flash
in sequence. The result of the test will be
indicated once the test is completed.
If the test passes, the alarm indication will be
triggered for one sound sweep and the green
LED will flash for 3 seconds. If the test fails, a
fault indication will be given (See page 17).
After the test function is performed, the alarm
will need to recover for 60 seconds before
another test can be conducted (to allow the
sensor chamber to resettle).
The alarm will also conduct a self-test every
24 hours, which tests for a faulty sensor, drift
or short circuit.
TIP: It is safe to cover the sound output hole
with your finger during the testing to minimize
the sound level emitted.
