Testing The Anti-Masking; Aligning The Beam And Walk Testing The Detector - GE ve735am Installation Instructions Manual

3. Resetting the AM/TF output
The VE700AM will only reset an AM alarm if it has ensured that the cause of
the AM alarm has been removed. If the AM circuitry cannot return to its
original reference levels, then either the detector is still masked or has
possibly been damaged. The owner should then visually check that the
detector is still fully functional.
On: After a 40-second inhibit period, resets the AM or TF status when a PIR
alarm is generated.
Off: Resets the AM or TF status after a PIR alarm, when the system is set
into Day and Walk Test status. The yellow LED will blink quickly. When
the system is in Night status, the yellow LED will turn off and the
system is reset.
4. How to signal AM or TF output
On: Signals AM on both the AM and Alarm relays.
Signals TF on the AM relay only.
Off: Signals AM and TF on the AM relay.

5. Testing the anti-masking

AM start-up sequence: When the VE700AM is powered, the AM circuitry will
wait until the cover of the detector is properly mounted.
As soon as the cover is mounted, the AM circuitry will monitor the housing
and the surrounding area and store the received signal levels as reference
levels. This procedure takes 75 seconds. During this period, the surrounding
area should remain clear from movement and objects temporarily placed
within 50 cm of the detector.
To test the anti-masking ensure that the PIR DIP switch 4 is set to On (LED
On) and then hold your hand approximately 10 cm (4 in.) in front of the
detector for 12 seconds (when using standard sensitivity) or for 6 seconds
(when using high sensitivity). The yellow LED will light accordingly.
6. Aligning the beam and walk testing the
detector
A. Using VE710 alignment tool (fig. c)
1. Insert the VE710 in the sub-frame with the On/Off switch facing the
floor.
2. Connect it to the COM port.
3. Turn on the VE710.
