SYSTEM TEST
Important:
If the System is connected to the Fire Department, or activates an
external System (for example, a leased line connection), disarm
the related outputs before servicing to prevent activation. Notify
persons in the facility that you are conducting a System test so that
they can ignore any alarms that sound during testing. Be sure to
reset the System at the end of the inspection.
To ensure maximum safety, follow the procedure described below.
