TESTING
Test communications between the detector and the
control panel. The detector has one test button (for
testing CO).
The detector may also be functionally tested using
canned CO. If the detector fails the test method, the
detector should be replaced.
NOTE: Testing the detector will activate the alarm and
send a signal to the panel.
Before testing, notify the proper authorities to avoid any
false alarms.
CO Test (Alarm Test)
Press and hold the CO Test button for 1 to 2 seconds.
The control panel should display and sound a CO alarm
(all programmed CO detector loops are sent).
CO System Test (Functional CO Test)
Press and hold the CO Test button for 3-5 seconds to
enter the functional gas test mode. See Functional Gas
Test section below.
Functional Gas Test
Solo C6 brand canned CO may be used to verify the
detector's ability to sense CO by utilizing the RealTest®
feature as follows:
1. Remove cover by rotating counter clockwise.
2. Press and hold the CO test button for 3 to 5 seconds.
The green LED will start blinking once per second
indicating the detector is in RealTest® mode. (If the
detector will not go into RealTest® mode, the CO
sensor may be in fault or at end-of- life.)
3. While the green LED is blinking once per second, spray
a small amount of canned CO directly into the CO gas
entry port.
4. Upon successful gas entry and if functioning properly,
the detector will go into CO alarm and send an alarm
to the control panel.
5. The CO test will automatically clear when the CO clears
from the sensor or in 30 seconds if no CO was
introduced.
6. Reattach the cover to the detector.
