NOTICE
: TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
CANDELA SELECTION CHANGE,
REMOVE THE SCREW FROM THE
UNLOCK POSITION AND PLACE IN THE
LOCK POSITION AFTER THE DESIRED
INTENSITY IS SELECTED.
Adjust candela by turning dial. Displayed
number will be candela selected.
Instant Voltage Verification
It is often necessary to confirm the voltage drop along a line of devices.
The access holes are provided in the back of the terminal block to allow the
voltage to be measured directly without removing the device. Typically this
would be done at the end of the line to confirm design criteria. Most
measurements will be taken using the S+ and S- locations although access
is provided to other locations.
NOTICE:
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO NOT SHORT THE TEST PROBES.
CAUTION:
A jumper card is provided to test for correct
wiring in the supervisory mode only. DO NOT pass
alarm current through the jumper
.

V. CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Supply power to the system control panel. The auxiliary signaling appliances in the system should not be activated.
2. If the signal is activated:
w
Check all smoke and fire detectors in the system to make sure they have not been activated.
w
Check all wiring connections to make sure the signal detection circuits are not reversed or shorted together. Check wire color codes and traces.
w
Verify that the jumpers and switches are properly set on both the control module and signal appliance. If the jumper on the AVSM is removed, the horns will not produce any sound unless
there is an input to the H+ and H- terminals on the control module.
3. To test the signal appliances, trip the auxiliary panel or activate the alarm circuit at the main control panel or activate one of the fire detection units in the system. All auxiliary signals should be
activated.
4. An operational test on this product should be conducted in accordance with National Standards or at a minimum annually and more often if dictated by local and state codes or authorities
having jurisdiction.
NOTICE:
THESE TESTING PROCEDURES AND TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERALIZED. PLEASE REFER TO THE SYSTEM CONTROL PANEL OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER OPERATION OF THE PANEL AND FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM.
