TEST/SILENCE BUTTON
The Test/Silence button performs the following functions:
Testing: Pressing the Test/Silence button tests the functionality of the circuitry, proper
sensitivity limits, and battery condition. If pressed and held for 2.5 seconds or longer,
the sounder will be enabled (1164 only). When released, the sounder will silence (1164
only) and the detector returns to the state prior to the test button being pressed.
Additionally, when the Test/Silence button is pressed, the red LED turns on and remains
steady until the button is released.
Silence Alarm: (1164 only) When pressed during an alarm the sounder is disabled for
five minutes.
Silence Trouble Chirp: (1164 only) Press to silence a trouble chirp for 12 hours. If the
test button is pressed during the silence period, the detector will not respond. If an
alarm condition occurs during the silence period, the sounder will enable as per alarm
requirements. The trouble chirp resumes after 12 hours if the trouble condition is not
corrected.
SMOKE TESTING
Smoke detectors should be smoke tested in-place annually.
1. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the smoke entry openings.
2. Direct the smoke into the detector for 20 seconds, or until the smoke detector
goes into alarm.
Caution: Remember to extinguish the smoke source after testing. The detector’s
red LED should stay on and the control panel should recognize an alarm. Use the
system reset switch to reset the detector.
