Testing, Maintenance & Power Supply - Ei Electronics Ei600 Series Instructions Manual

Install and connect all the other Alarms similarly.
Now test the first Alarm by pressing and holding the Test button (this may take up to
5 seconds). The red indicator light will flash about once a second on the first Alarm
and all other Alarms should sound. Check all the other Alarms similarly.
Note: These Alarms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single
family living unit. If they are connected between different residences there may be
excessive nuisance alarms. Everybody may not be aware that they are being tested
or that it is a nuisance alarm caused by cooking etc.
5. Testing, Maintenance & Power Supply Monitoring
Your Alarm is a life saving device and should be checked periodically. Regularly
check that the red light on the Alarm flashes approx once a minute to show the units
are powered. Replace the Alarm if the flashing stops.
5.1 Manually Testing your Alarms
It is recommended that you test your Alarms after installation and then at least
weekly to ensure the units are working. It will also help you and your family to
become familiar with the sound of the Alarms.
(see Figure 7a & 7b). The Alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is
released.
- If the Alarms are interconnected using hard-wired connections, check that all
interconnected Alarms sound.
