TESTING DETECTORS
•
Use a non-LED flashlight or striker to test each detector and assure that each detector
functions properly. If you don’t have an easy access mounting door, then pull off one
sensor to shine the flashlight through that hole.
•
Reset the panel after each test to assure that each detector signals the panel properly.
When the detector goes into alarm, the red Alarm Indicator (ALM) on the
corresponding Zone Card should light, and the horn/strobe should come on.
•
In the Machine Shutdown relay should trip the stop circuit of the production
machinery intended for stoppage.
•
Perform this test after installation of the system and repeat once a year.
