Testing the Smoke Alarm
WARNING: Test each smoke alarm and heat alarm to ensure they have been correctly
installed and are operating properly.
Stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm when testing. The alarm sounder is intentionally loud to
alert you of any emergencies; and thus can be harmful to your hearing.
Test the smoke alarm monthly and upon returning from holiday, or when the house has been
unoccupied for several days.
Test all alarms monthly by doing the following:
1. Ensure the green LED next to the Test/Hush button is ON. This confirms the smoke alarm is
receiving AC power.
2. Press and hold the TEST/Hush Button for at least five (5) seconds. The smoke alarm will sound
the following repeating pattern: 3 long beeps, pause, then another 3 long beeps. This continues
up to 10 seconds after the Button is released.
Note: If the smoke alarms are interconnected, all smoke & heat alarms should sound an alarm
within three (3) seconds after any Test Button is pressed.
3. If the smoke alarm does not sound, please refer to Section 9: Visual And Audible Indications.
If the issue is unresolved, please contact PSA Technical Support for assistance.
