Callout - Description
1 – Walk test LED on
2 – Walk test LED off
The ON position enables the LED. If you do not want LED indication after you finish the setup
and walk tests, place the switch in the OFF position. The OFF position does not prevent the
LED from indicating supervision trouble conditions.
If you do not want the LED to light when the device detects a possible alarm event, disable
the LED after you complete the walk test.
Notice!
Some regulations require that you disable the LED after the walk test.
Automatic brightness
To improve LED visibility in any lighting environment, the walk test LED automatically changes
brightness. In dark environments, the LED intensity lessens; in bright environments, the LED
intensity increases.

LED, page 21.
At the beginning of the test, with no motion in the protection area, the LED should be OFF. If
you observe LED activity without movement, check for disturbances affecting the microwave
or PIR technologies.
