To test an individual Alarm press and hold the test button until he horn sounds and
the red light flashes. This will ensure that the sensor, electronics and sounder are
working.
To test the RF system, press and hold the test button
on one of the Alarms. The blue light on the side of the
Ei168RC base will come on solid for around 3.5 seconds.
Continue to hold the test button until all the Alarms
in the system are sounding. This will take between 20
to 45 seconds depending on the number of Alarms in
the system, e.g. a system with 12 Alarms will need a 45
second test. Release the test button when the test is
completed. The local Alarm will stop sounding but you
will hear the other Alarms sounding in the distance and
then die out.
DO NOT TEST WITH FLAME (this can set fire to the Alarm and
damage the house).
We do not recommend testing with smoke or heat as the results can
be misleading unless special apparatus is used.
