Testing the Detector

The detector should be tested at least once per year. Test the detector with a glassbreak simulator. A
glassbreak simulator is an electronic device that replicates the sound of breaking glass.
To enter the test mode with glassbreak simulator:
1. Stand within 15 feet of the detector.
2. Turn on the glassbreak simulator.
3. Point the front speaker of the glassbreak simulator towards the detector and press the red START
button.
When the detector enters Test Mode, the green LED on the detector flashes about once per second. If
the green LED does not flash, move closer to the detector and repeat the procedure.
