4.2 Function Control of the heat detector
The TEST button is used to check the function of the heat detector. After pressing the key a very
loud alarm will sound! Keep the heat detector at least an arm's length away from your body while
pressing the TEST button. Afterwards the LED starts flashing and the alarm sounds. In this case
the function of the electronics, the alarm device of the heat detector and the battery is checked.
After releasing the TEST button, the alarm will turn off automatically.
Attention:
Test the heat detector weekly to its function by pressing the test button. It even beeps
once and the alarm stops automatically after releasing the TEST button.
4.3 Temporary muting the Alarm
In a false alarm, which was not caused by a fire, the alarm can be switch off for about 10 minutes.
However you must absolutely make sure that the alarm was not activated by a fire. To temporarily
turn off the alarm, press the TEST button. Then open doors and windows to cool down the room. If
the room temperature is still too high after 10 minutes, the alarm sounds again. By pressing the
test button, the mute function can be repeated as often as desired. The mute function can be
simply deactivated by pressing again the start button. At an excessively heat development, this
function is not adjustable.
