4. Hold down the test button. When the LED on the detector goes solid momentarily, the
glass is within detection range.
5. If the LED does not go solid, but simply continues flashing, re‐position the detector closer to
the protected windows and retest. This may require adding additional detectors in order to
achieve adequate coverage. It is very rare that the detector will not activate within its stated
range of coverage. In this case check the battery in the hand‐held tester. A new tester battery
is likely to restore the range.
6. Test mode automatically terminates approximately one minute after the last activation of
the hand‐held tester.
Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glassbreak detector. The specified
range of the EL‐2606 has been established for worst‐case conditions. While the detector is
likely to function at the extended range, it may miss a minimum output break or room
acoustics may be changed at some future time bringing detector range back into normal
6m (20ʹ) conditions. Do not exceed the rated range of the detector regardless of what the
tester shows!
Hand Clap Test
The Hand Clap test enables you to test the EL‐2606 while in Normal mode. This test checks the
detectors power supply, microphone and circuit board.
To perform a Hand Clap test:

Clap your hands loudly under the detector; the LED flashes twice but an alarm is not
generated.
