6. Initial Testing and Checking of Alarm

• Before powering up/testing CHECK THAT WIRING POLARITY is correct & all con-
nections are tight. REVERSING POLARITY will fatally damage all interconnected
alarms, and damage is not covered by the Guarantee. Slide alarm fully home on
base plate before powering up, to prevent arcing across the contact blades.
• Having energised circuit, press and hold the test button again – the alarm should
sound and other interconnected ones also, within a few seconds.
• Do this for all alarms.
• If any do not sound, isolate mains and recheck cabling.
• On optical alarms, if the red L.E.D. blinks every 30-40 seconds and the alarm
chirps in between, it indicates failure of the sensing chamber - replace alarm.
{This condition also exists if the Hush button is pushed}
• Advise the house-holder (if present) as to how to test the alarms.
