5.1 Manually testing the smoke alarm
To ensure the alarm works, we recommend testing the alarm immediately after
installation. After that, it should be tested regularly, and at least once per year.
This will allow you and your family to become familiar with the sound of the alarm.
■ Hold the test button down until the alarm sounds and the red LED flashes
(see Fig. 11 on page 21). To protect your hearing, the alarm slowly gets louder.
The alarm will stop sounding shortly after you release the test button.
■ If the alarms are interlinked using radio modules, hold the test button down until
the green LED (Ei650M radio module) or blue LED (Ei600MRF radio module) on the
alarm unit cover lights up and all the alarms sound. Check whether all of the other
alarms have sounded.
■ Release the test button. The alarm and all devices interlinked with it should
stop sounding.
■ Repeat this procedure with all other alarms in the system.
WARNING: Do not test your alarm using an open flame. The alarm unit could catch
fire and damage fixtures. We recommend that you do not use smoke to test the alarm,
because the results could be misleading unless special equipment is used.
