Weekly tests
Every week during normal working hours the re detection and alarm 
system should be tested. It is important to inform the alarm receiving centre 
of the re test. 
The weekly re test can be carried out at a manual call point without 
breaking the call point glass. 
  Insert the test key into the keyhole located on the bottom-centre front 
face of the call point and turn the key one quarter of a turn clockwise.
