Test
A sounder test is automatically performed: All sounders shall activate for a period
of 15 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of silence, followed by a further 15 second
activation, and 30 seconds silence. This pattern of activation and silence is repeated
whilst in the test mode.
The sounder test may be terminated at any time. Selecting the
cancel button
button
prompts the user to confirm exit from the test mode.
13.6 Automatic Smoke Detector Test
Regarding testing of automatic smoke detectors; given the unpredictable nature of
smoke dissipation within the device under test (initial smoke charge, ambient air
movement, device mounting etc.) on exiting the test state, sufficient residual smoke
may exist to allow the device to enter the alarm condition.
