4.3 Carrying Out a Simple Test

Smoke generation will begin automatically once the smoke 

detector enters the cup.

1) 

 

Raise Solo 365 up to the detector to be tested

2) 

 

Status indicator LEDs will ash fast blue once the 

 

detector enters the cup

3) 

 

Detector will enter alarm once sufcient smoke 

 

has been generated

4) 

 

Lower Solo 365 

5) 

 

Status indicator LEDs will ash green

NOTE:

 For the best results the detector should be fully 

within the cup.  Solo 365 may be used in ceiling voids and 
oor voids provided the detectors can be accessed safely.  
The unit should not be forced through narrow gaps.  If 

the unit will not pass through a gap easily with the cup 

orientated 90° to the normal position there is a possibility 

it could become trapped.
