Notice!
Detectors that have no valid address will not be found during the auto-learn. After the
auto‑learn, perform a functional testing for each detector to ensure that all detectors operate
properly.
If the rotary switch address does not match the internal address, please see the panels IOG
for the matching procedure.

Testing the Installation
Notice!
Notify all concerned parties before any maintenance or testing of the fire alarm system, and
after completion of these activities.
1.
Check the wiring from the control panel to each detector for proper polarity and
continuity.
2.
Apply power to the system. Check for alarms and troubles.
3.
When the system is alarm free, check each detector to ensure that the LED indicator
flashes green. This verifies the detector is receiving power and operating properly.
Depending on the number of detectors connected, the time between two flashes may be
up to 8 seconds.
5.1
Magnet Switch Test
Holding a magnet at the test point centered over the semicircle notch on the head (see
Figure 3.1: 6‑inch and 4‑inch Mounting Bases, Position 4) will cause the LED to flash red. If the
magnet is held at the indicated location for more than 6 seconds, the unit will send an alarm
signal to the panel and the LED will change to steady red until the unit is reset by the panel. If
the 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.
5.2
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 Magnet Switch Test, page 10), or
–
carry out the test procedure(s) depending on the detector type:
