Testing / Checks
The Door Top Alarms should be tested on a r
egular basis. Frequency of the testing is as per your
risk assessments policy.
To carry out the tests, place the supplied magnet just under the LED on the Door Top Alarm.
(The LED only lights up when a magnet is placed against it so it is not visible to patients).
Press and release the top bar on the DTA a couple of times and the LED should be green.
Press and hold the bar for 3 seconds and the LED should change to orange. When the orange
light is continuously on for a set period of time (factory setting = 10 seconds), the LED will
change to Red and the alarm will be registered. After approximately 20 seconds, the unit
will reset itself and the red LED will disappear. For risk assessment checks you could go to
the orange light state where the alarm does not go off and probably only allow 1 or 2 on a
random basis to go to red stage.
On the outside of the electronics box there is a matching tricolored LED labeled ‘Status’
which should also light up every time the top bar is pres
sed. This LED does not need a magnet to
light up.

Changing of the Alarm delay time
The factory setting is set at a 10 second delay (cont
inuous pressure on the door top bar). Other
standard options are 5, 20 or 30 seconds. Inside the electronics box, as shown on the below
photo, is a red or a blue box with 2 white switches.
