An opening for the recessed test switch is located on the detector housing.
2.
Insert a small screwdriver or allen wrench (0.18" max.) into the test switch opening; push and
hold.
3.
If the detector is within the listed sensitivity limits, the detector's red LED should light within
five seconds.
Smoke Entry Test
Hold a smoldering punk stick or cotton wick at the side of the detector and gently blow the smoke
through the detector until it alarms.
NOTE: For the above tests, the detector will reset only after the power source has been
momentarily interrupted.
If a detector fails any of the above test methods, its wiring should be checked and it should be
cleaned as outlined in the Maintenance section of the System Sensor Document. If the detector still
fails, it should be replaced.
Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.

operation of the control panel. The procedures should be performed as required by the local
authority having jurisdiction. Refer to NFPA documentation for further details.
