magnet is removed before the period of 6 seconds is over, the unit will return to the state it was in and no alarm
signals will be sent. Otherwise, you have to reset the unit.

Functional Testing

1. Set detectors in walk test mode at the fire panel before testing.
2. Test each detector to ensure it causes a control panel test alarm. After each test, the alarm is cleared
automatically by the control panel within a few seconds, and you can proceed to the next detector.
NOTICE!
As soon as the walk test mode is started, a detector test must occur within 25 minutes of the
last test. Otherwise the control panel resets to normal operation.
In walk test mode, the alarm is triggered quicker than during normal operation, allowing for a faster and more
efficient testing.
There are the following options of functional testing:
– either alarm the detector by holding the magnet continuously at the indicated location for three red flashes
(see Chapter 5.1 ), or
– carry out the test procedure(s) depending on the detector type:
Test procedure
Aerosol test
Heat source test
CO gas test

Table 5.2 List of Testing Equipment
Aerosol Test
Use a UL Listed aerosol smoke detector tester to simulate an alarm. Follow the instructions provided with the
aerosol smoke detector tester.
Heat SourceTest
Expose the thermistor to a heat source such as a hair dryer or a shielded heat lamp. Expose the thermistor until the
detector alarms and the alarm LED lights.
CO Gas Test
Only when in walk test mode, if over 35 ppm CO is applied to the detector the detector will alarm.
NOTICE!
If any of the sensors fails the functional testing, the detector should be replaced.
Sensitivity Testing
Test the sensitivity of the smoke sensors using the TRUTEST801 Sensitivity Tester for Smoke Detectors and
SMOKE400 Smoke Aerosol.
