6. Attach the detector to the mounting base as follows:
-
Line up the raised tab on the side of the detector with
the arrow on the mounting base. See Figure 4.
-
Insert the smoke detector into the base and turn
clockwise approximately 15 degrees. It should snap
firmly into place.
7. Apply power.
8. Test the detector. See
Smoke Testing the
Detector.
Important
: The control panel alarm and all auxiliary
functions should be verified for a complete test of the
system.

Smoke Testing the Detector
Smoke detectors should be tested in place annually using
smoke or canned aerosol simulated smoke. Follow the
instructions on the canned smoke or use the following
steps to test the detector with smoke:
1. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the
smoke entry openings.
2. Gently direct the smoke into the detector for 20 seconds
or until an alarm is indicated.
BE SURE TO PROPERLY EXTINGUISH THE SMOKE
SOURCE AFTER TESTING!
The detector LED should
stay on and an alarm should be indicated at the control
panel. Use the system reset switch to reset the detector.
Understanding the LED
The LED on the detector indicates the status of the detector
as follows:
Flashing every 9 seconds
= Normal operation.
On
= Detects smoke, sending an alarm.
Off or flashing once every 1.5 seconds
= Trouble or
maintenance is required. Test the detector. See
Testing the
Detector Sensitivity.
