Diagnostic Test
The following sequence of events occur during a diagnostic test:
A. The detector performs a link quality test.
Note: The detector must be in local or diagnostic mode to perform the link quality test.
In diagnostic mode, if you press the test button for more than 6 seconds, an alarm
message is sent to the panel and a Temporal-3 alarm signal is sounded. After this
sequence is completed, the panel responds by sending an “Alarm in Memory” message
to the device.
B. At the end of the diagnostic test the LED blinks three times. The following table indicates
the received signal strength.

IMPORTANT!Reliable reception must be confirmed. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not
acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good"
or "strong" signal strength is received. For UL/CUL installations, the test results must be "strong".
See the alarm systems installation guide for detailed diagnostic tests.
Owner’s Maintenance
The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance. If the case becomes dusty,
vacuum with a small brush attachment. If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft
cloth slightly dampened with soapy water.
Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
You may only remove detector from backplate to replace batteries if not serviced by
installer. When replacing the batteries, follow the instructions specified in the Installation
Instructions.
Never paint the unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering the unit. If you are planning
renovations or repainting, take precautions to avoid dust, paint or chemical contamination
to the detector.
If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels of dust or insects and causes
false alarms, it may require service; contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
Testing and maintenance procedures shall be in accordance with CAN/ULC-S552-14.
