Initial and Reacceptance 1. Verify that the remote annunciator indicates open, short,
and ground faults while testing the panel.
2 Very that all controls and indicators are working.
3. If LEDs are configured, verify the indicators by activating

message is displayed on both the panel and the remote
annunciator.

the detector.
2. Activate the detector. Verify that the detector’s red LED
flashes and the control panel displays an alarm message
that correctly identifies the detector.
3. If the detector is installed in a relay base, verify the
correct operation of the relay.
4. Run a Device Maintenance Report on all the smoke
detectors in the system. Verify that all sensitivity levels
fall within acceptable limits. Keep a printed copy for your
records.
