itself from the network. All alarms will remain in ‘Radio Interlink Configuration Mode’ as indicated by
3beep every 10secs.

All smoke alarms will be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 1hr after the last tap of the Test+Hush button or by 4Tap
of the Test+Hush button. On any network alarm confirm that the built node count reported in ‘Operation Mode’
agrees with your expected node count.
Auto Test
The Auto Test function provides scheduled, automatic testing of the smoke alarm. Testing consists of momentarily
simulating smoke internal to the smoke alarm which activates the smoke alarm’s siren. The option card listens for
the correct smoke alarm tone and reports an option card alarm if the test failed. The test establishes, on a regular
basis, that the smoke alarm’s smoke sensor, controller and siren are functional. Test duration is 5secs and can be
configured to be performed at a convenient time. The Auto Test establishes that only the local smoke alarm, on
which the test is performed, is functional. While interlinked alarms may also sound, Auto Test does not confirm
operation of interlinked smoke alarms. Access to Auto Test, Configuration Mode is only possible if the Auto Test
switch is switched to ON.
Setup
1.
Switch on/Confirm that the Auto Test switch is set to ON. Refer to Configuration Switches for details. The
factory default, test settings are every two weeks from the day and time that the option card is first supplied
with power. Continue with the following steps only if you wish to change Auto Test times.
2.
Select ‘Auto Test Configuration Mode’ - From Operation Mode this can be achieved by 4Tap, 2Tap of the
Test+Hush button. Confirmation of this mode is reported by 4beep.
3.
If you wish to alter the test ‘Frequency’ 1Tap, followed by 1Tap for every week, 2Tap for every two weeks, 3Tap

4.
If you wish to alter the test day ‘Days from Now’ 2Tap, followed by 1Tap for tomorrow, 2Tap for two days time
up to 7Tap for the current day ie 0 days from now.
5.
If you wish to alter the test hour ‘Hours from Now’ 3Tap, followed by 1Tap for 1 hour from now, 2Tap for two
hours from now up to 24Tap for the current hour ie 0 hours from now.
6.
The smoke alarm will be placed into ‘Operation Mode’ 2mins after the last tap of the Test+Hush button or by
4Tap of the Test+Hush button. Confirm that the Auto Test Time from Now reported in ‘Operation Mode’ agrees
with your expected test time.
Example

8am, Tuesday
Desired Auto Test Time:
12 Noon, Friday, Fortnightly
Configuration:
Frequency = 2Tap (Fortnightly)
Days from Now = 3Tap (Tuesday to Friday = 3 days)
Hours from Now = 4Tap (8am to 12 Noon = 4 hours)
Confirmation:
3 beep/flash, 4 beep/flash (3 days from today, 4 hours from now)
Clap Silence
If the smoke alarm is in alarm state, two loud hand claps in quick succession immediately below the alarm is
equivalent to pressing the Test+Hush button on that alarm. An alarm in alarm state is evidenced by its red LED
flashing rapidly. As clap volume and timing may vary, you may need to repeat clap silence more than once. The
alarm must incorporate an option card for clap silence to function.
