11. Operation and Testing

Operation
The detector is operating once it is activated and testing is complete. When products of combustion
(smoke) are sensed, the detector sounds a loud 85dB alarm. See Sections 1 and 2 for alarm signal
descriptions.
Testing (push To Test button)
Test your detector weekly by pressing and releasing the test button quickly. A quick beep will confirm the
button has been pushed.
See Other Detector Visual and Audible Indicators table. The alarm will sound if the electronic circuitry,
horn, and battery are working. If the alarm does not sound, the detector must be replaced. Erratic or low
volume sound (or no sound) coming from your detector may indicate a defective detector and it should be
returned for service. See Permanently Disable Detector / Discharge Battery section to determine how to
prepare the unit for shipment or disposal.
To test all detectors connected in the same network initiate "System Test Mode" use a magnet as shown
in Figure 5, and then press and release the Test/Hush button. All detectors will perform a self-test and will
report their status to the panel.
WArNINg: Due to the loudness (85+ decibels) of the alarm, always stand about 2.5 ft (0.7M)
away from the detector or use ear protection when testing.
WArNINg: DO NOT use an open flame to test your DETECTOr. you could damage the DETEC-
TOr or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.
