functional Smoke Test
The smoke test verifies that the detector activates when detecting smoke, that all interconnected devices
also alarm, that the transmitted signal is received by the receiver/panel, and that the panel reports the
alarm to the central monitoring station. The smoke test should be performed annually. A canned smoke
testing agent must be used for the functional smoke test
NOTE: Use Interlogix brand of Smoke! In A Can part number SM-200.
1. Wait at least 90 seconds after installation to test the smoke detector.
2. Make sure the GREEN LED is flashing for normal operation (one GREEN LED blink every 60 seconds).
3. From a distance of 2 - 4 feet (0.6 – 1.2m), aim spray for 1 – 2 seconds at the side (bug screen) of the
detector.
4. The alarm will sound within 1 – 10 seconds if the detector functions properly.
5. Press the Test/Hush button to quiet the sounder. NOTE: Due to the high smoke concentration from the
canned smoke spray, it is possible that the detector will not silence after a button push.
6. Contact the central monitoring station to verify they received the alarm report.
7. Alert the central monitoring station when you are finished testing.
NOTE: An alternative method for performing a functional smoke test in the field is to hold a smoldering
punk or cotton wick close to the detector and direct the smoke into the vent openings until an alarm is
indicated.
AMbIENT LIghT SENSINg
This detector samples the ambient light conditions of its location and, if possible, determines a Night/Day
cycle. A valid Night/Day cycle will delay detector chirps during the night until the next Day cycle begins.
When chirping begins during the next Day cycle, you can temporarily silence End of Detector Life or Net-
work Error chirps by pressing the Test/Hush button. Low Battery chirps cannot be silenced.
If a valid Night / Day cycle has not been established because the detector is located in either a constantly
dark or lighted location, the chirps mentioned above will not be delayed at night. Moving the detector to a
different location might allow the detector to determine a valid Night / Day cycle.
