FUNCTIONAL TESTING
This section describes the system testing procedures to ensure that the Alarm 2000 is fully
functional. The testing depends on the configuration of the system i.e. the optional modules
added to the basic system.
Note: Testing of Alarm 2000 system must be performed by a fully licensed and
qualified technician.
5.5.1 Smoke / Heat Alarms
Check that the green mains indicator light is ‘ON’ on all Smoke / Heat Alarms. (If it is off,
check circuit breakers, fuses, wiring and RFIP etc.) Check the red light behind the button
or on the cover flashes every 40 seconds.
Press the test button for up to 10 seconds on each Smoke / Heat Alarm to ensure the
sensor chamber, electronics and sounder are working.
Check the red light behind the test button or on the cover flashes while horn is sounding.
The Alarm will stop within a few seconds when the test button is released. Pressing the
test button simulates the effect of smoke or heat during a real fire and is the best way to
ensure the Alarm is operating properly.
Warning: Do not test with flame. This can damage the Alarm or may set fire to the house.
We do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the results can be
misleading unless special apparatus is used.
With the Smoke / Heat Alarm in normal mode, check that the Test button flashes red once
per minute to indicate correct self-check is functional
Check that all interconnected Alarms operate when each test button is pressed for 10
seconds.
Note: If the mains is disconnected and the battery is almost depleted the unit will
beep every 40 seconds for at least 30 days provided it has been fully charged
initially.
Note: The ionisation Smoke Alarms (EIB161e / EIB1411RC) give two short beeps
about a second apart at the end of the hush period (i.e. about 10 minutes after
test/hush button has been pressed). These two beeps should not be confused with
low battery beeps.
Refer to smoke alarm user instructions for full indications and troubleshooting.
5.5.2 Checking you can hear your Smoke Alarm
With the Smoke Heat Alarms sounding in its intended locations, check you are able to hear
them in each bedroom with the door closed, above the sound of your radio. The radio
should be set to a reasonably loud conversation level. If you can’t hear it over your radio
the chances are that it wouldn’t wake you. Re-assess the locations and number chosen.
