could drop below 0°C or rise above
+50°C, as this will prevent the detec-
tor from working properly,
• less than 1 m away from heating,
cooling or ventilation grilles likely to
spread the smoke,

Smoke detector tests
We recommend you warn your
neighbours before testing the detec-
tor. You should also take all the
necessary precautions to avoid hea-
ring disorders that may be caused by
the sounder.
Manual test:
Press the test button (for approx. 5 sec.).
The red LED indicator lamp flashes and
the detector alarm sounds several times
until the test button is released.
Detection test:
Spray the detection chamber with a
test smoke spray and check that the
detector sounder continues to sound
until the smoke has been fully disper-
sed.
For both tests, check triggering:
• of the control panel sirens in fire
sounding mode (5 min.),
• of the telephone dialler.
Stop the sirens and check that the
control panel has memorised the
alarm.
Carry out these tests at least once a
month.
