ensure they are functioning correctly. Guidelines and
best practices for testing are as follows:
1. After the system is installed.
2. Once monthly thereafter.
3. After prolonged absence from the dwelling (e.g. after
holiday period).
4. After repair or servicing of any of the systems
elements or household electrical works.
Inspecting and Testing procedure
(i) Check that the
green LED power indicator
is on
continuously. (If it is off, check circuit breakers, fuses
and wiring etc.)
(ii) Check that the red LED on the cover flashes once
every 40 seconds to indicate normal operation – If
the memory has been set indicating that the Alarm
has been activated in the last 24 hours, the red LED
will flash twice every 40 seconds. After 24 hours,
the memory will be cleared or if the Test button is
