every eight seconds. This verifies the detector is receiving power and operating properly.
NOTE! If a heat detector LED flashes at a rate of
4 flashes/sec, the detector is either cold (below +32°F
i [0°C]), out of sensitivity range, or defective. If a smoke detector flashes at a rate of 4 flashes/sec, it is either out of sensitivity range or defective.
5.2Test Each Detector
Test each detector to ensure it causes a control panel alarm. Reset the control panel after each test.
5.2.1Activate an Alarm at Each Detector
To cause heat detectors to alarm either:
–Activate the internal reed switch by placing a magnet horizontally against the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) and holding it there for three consecutive LED flashes, or
–Expose the thermistor (refer to Figure 2.2, Item 3 on page 7)to a heat source such as a hair dryer or a shielded
heat lamp until the detector alarms and the alarm LED lights .
To cause smoke detectors to alarm either:
–Activate the internal reed switch by placing a magnet horizontally against the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) and holding it there for three consecutive LED flashes, or
–Use a UL Listed aerosol smoke detector tester to simulate an alarm. Follow the instructions provided with the aerosol smoke detector tester.
5.2.2Reset the Control Panel
When a detector alarms, the red LED indicator activates and latches into the ON position. Clear the alarm by momentarily removing power before proceeding to the next detector.
