11.3 Manual Testing
11.3.1 Introduction
Autronica Fire and Security recommends that functional tests of the
protector are done automatically by the system itself using the
SelfVerify® 2.0 function (refer to chapter 11.1).
However, if local regulations require manual testing, a manual test
procedure must be carried out.
11.3.2 Test Equipment
Autronica Fire and Security recommends the use of Testifier® test
equipment. For information on test equipment and instructions, refer
to Testifier®’s webpage

11.3.3 Automatic Test Mode
When the Automatic Test Mode is enabled in the AutroSafe
Configuration Tool (ON), and a test kit is covering the protector, the
protector’s sensitivity will automatically increase and the protector
will react faster to different alarm sources, making it quicker to
perform the test.
When using the test kit during the test, a LED will flash a certain
number of times every five seconds depending on the type of
detection.
LED behavior
Type of detection
One flash every five seconds

Two flashes every five seconds

Automatic Test Mode can be enabled/disabled (turned ON or OFF)
per protector in the Configuration Tool.
For further details on configuration, refer to Configuration, chapter
10.6.2.
