– Activate the internal reed switch by placing a magnet
horizontally against the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer
to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) and holding it there for
three consecutive LED flashes, or
– Expose the thermistor (refer to Figure 2.2, Item 3 on
page 7)to a heat source such as a hair dryer or a shielded
heat lamp until the detector alarms and the alarm LED
lights .
To cause smoke detectors to alarm either:
– Activate the internal reed switch by placing a magnet
horizontally against the T mark on the mounting skirt (refer
to Figure 4.2, Item 8 on page 19) and holding it there for
three consecutive LED flashes, or
– Use a UL Listed aerosol smoke detector tester to simulate
an alarm. Follow the instructions provided with the aerosol
