Testing
Your Warning Handset should be tested whenever
an alarm is added to the system. Each alarm in the
system should be tested at least once per week,
this will test the Handset automatically.
Testing is simple. Ensure that your Warning
Handset is located in its most suitable position
(refer to section on ‘’Positioning’’, page
5
) with
the handset fitted into its cradle, with AC power
connected.
Go to one one of the connected alarms in the
Wi-Safe Safety System and carry out a self test.
Go back to the handset. The appropriate light on
the handset (“smoke” or “carbon monoxide”)
should flash rapidly, as should the white LEDs at
the top of the handset. An audible signal should be
emitted that corresponds to “smoke” (three bursts
between a short delay) or “carbon monoxide” (four
quick bursts between delays of several seconds).
Remove the Warning Handset from its cradle. The
torch will switch fully on and the full alarm sound
will be replaced by the “locator” audible signal,
which is a burst of 4 rapid chirps followed by a
2 second delay repeated continuously. Wait for
5 seconds, then replace the Warning Handset in
the cradle. If the Warning Handset is replaced too
soon it may pick up the repeat signal and go into
alarm again, if this happens remove the Handset
from the cradle again and wait for more than 5
seconds. The Handset should then be replaced in
the cradle. All lights should extinguish except the
green “power” light.
Repeat this procedure for every connected Wi-
Safe alarm.
NOTE:
The above test procedures should be
carried out both
with
and
without
the AC power
turned on.
