V. CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Supply power to the system control panel. The auxiliary signaling appliances in the system should not be activated.
2. If the signal is activated:
Check all smoke and fire detectors in the system to make sure they have not been activated.
Check all wiring connections to make sure the signal detection circuits are not reversed or shorted together. Check wire color codes and traces.
Verify that the jumpers and switches are properly set on both the control module and signal appliance. If the jumper on the HAVSM is removed, the horns will not produce any sound
unless there is an input to the H+ and H- terminals on the control module.
3. To test the signal appliances, trip the auxiliary panel or activate the alarm circuit at the main control panel or activate one of the fire detection units in the system. All auxiliary signals
should be activated.

having jurisdiction.
