Checkout And Troubleshooting - Gentex GHSLF Series Manual

Gentex Super-Slide ® Mounting Bracket:
Allows the installer to pre-wire the system, test for system supervision, remove the
signal head until occupancy, switch out Gentex signals without changing mounting
brackets and has locking edge connector for snap-in-place installation.
Gentex Checkmate ® Instant Voltage Verification:
It is often necessary to confirm the voltage drop along a line of devices. The access
holes are provided in the back of the terminal block to allow the voltage to be
measured directly without removing the device. Typically this would be done at the
end of the line to confirm design criteria. Most measurements will be taken using the
S+ and S- locations although access is provided to other locations.
NOTICE: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO NOT SHORT THE TEST PROBES.
