Testing the detector
•
CAUTION
If the Gas Alarm does not operate properly,
it cannot alert the presence of natural gas.
Take immediate action if the Gas Alarm fails
a test.
Testing power
Press test button until you hear a “Beep” sound, then
quickly release (within 3 seconds after pressing the test
button). If the device is properly powered, the green LED
will flash twice every second (for 3 seconds) to indicate that
the power is on.
Testing gas leak alarm notifications
Press test button until you hear a “Beep” sound, then
continue to hold until you hear a “Beep Beep” sound
approximately 5 seconds later. Release within 10 seconds
of pressing the test button.
If the Gas Alarm is operating properly, the red LED will flash
once every 2 seconds for a 12 second period, and the
following alarm message will sound twice:
“Beep Beep
Beep Beep Danger
– gas leak explosion risk – evacuate,
then call 911.”
Testing automated communications
Press and hold test button for at least 10 seconds, until you
have heard a single “Beep” followed by a double beep
(“Beep Beep”) followed by a triple beep (“Beep Beep
Beep”). This will enable communications test mode, and
the green LED will flash 3 times per second for as long as
you are in communications test mode.
Once in communications test mode, press the test button
additional times to test whether the detector is
communicating normally with
your gas utility’s systems,
able to properly transmit detector error signals, and able to
properly transmit a low battery signal. Success will be
indicated as follows:

Additional presses will cycle you back through these three
tests for as long as you are in communications test
mode. Communications test mode will automatically end
after 5 minutes.
