TESTING
Test your alarm weekly by pressing and releasing the test button (dome) quickly. A quick beep will confirm the
button has been pushed followed by voice prompts that will inform you of the upcoming test sequence. See
Other Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table.
The alarm, strobe, and voice (and any interconnected units) will activate if the electronic circuitry, horn,
speaker, and battery are working. If the alarm, strobe, or voice does not activate, or gives erratic or low
volume sound, the unit must be replaced. NOTE: AC power must be applied for the strobe to activate.
See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section to determine how to prepare the unit for
shipment or disposal.
WARNING: DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE ALARM, ALWAYS STAND ABOUT 0.7 M 2.5 FT AWAY
FROM THE UNIT OR USE EAR PROTECTION WHEN TESTING, AND AVOID LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT
STROBE DIRECTLY, OR COVER IT WITH YOUR HAND.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST YOUR ALARM, YOU COULD DAMAGE THE
ALARM OR IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND START A STRUCTURE FIRE.
STROBE SYNCHRONIZATION
This strobe alarm will automatically synchronize (flash at the same time) with other P4010ACLEDxx strobes that
are part of the interconnected system. Synchronization will take up to 20 seconds when in alarm.
NOTE: THE ALARMS WILL NOT SYNCHRONIZE DURING TEST MODE.
SMOKE/CO ALARM MEMORY
If a unit experiences a smoke or CO alarm event, then the condition clears and the unit stops alarming, the
unit will give a visual (LED) indicator that a previous alarm has occurred within the last hour. See the Other
Alarm Visual and Audible Indicators table.
