Weekly testing:
repeat steps 4-6 as indicated opposite.
Yearly Testing: In addition to regular weekly or monthly
testing, we recommend testing of the rechargeable backup cells
for the smoke alarm every six months as follows:-
|
1.
|
Ensure the alarm has
been charging for at least 2 days prior to test (i.e. mains
electricity was not switched off) . |
2.
|
Turn off
mains electricity supply to unit at the distribution board and
check green LED is extinguished. |
3.
|
Press the
test button and ensure the horn sounds loudly for 15 seconds. |
4.
|
Release
the test button and observe the unit carefully for 1 minute.
The red LED will flash at least once. The unit must not beep
which indicates a low battery. |
5.
|
Turn on
the electricity supply at the distribution board only if the
test was satisfactory. |
6.
|
If the
test fails repeat steps as per "Commissioning" but
if the unit continues to fail it may be necessary to replace
the unit and it MUST be replaced if the room light is permanently
illuminated and cannot be switched off. |
