7. Testing the Product
This product may be tested during install or at any time. It is
recommended the product be tested in place annually.
A. Use a hair dryer (maintaining a distance of three inches) for 20
seconds or until an alarm is indicated.

and an alarm should be indicated at the control panel. Be sure to
extinguish the heat source after testing!
Running the RF Communication Test
This section provides general guidelines for testing the product with the

repeater to Heat Detector).
o If the link to the smoke is below -90 dB, then a repeater should
be installed in the link between the DLC and the Heat Detector.

Even though the control panel indicates when to service this product,
several annual and random/as required checks are recommended.

Random - Visual check for LED flashing every 8 seconds
- Sensitivity Test
- Wireless Signal Strength
The control panel indications are Trouble, and Low Battery.
Trouble - the product has an internal fault, which requires
technical service.
Low Battery - batteries are low and must be replaced to
maintain proper operation.
Heat Detector Test
This product is equipped with an internal diagnostic checking function.
