6. TESTING AND OPERATION
WARNING! THIS STROBE LIGHT IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT. DO NOT LOOK
DIRECTLY AT THE LIGHT OR TOUCH THE LENS WHEN THE LIGHT IS FLASHING.
TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on one of the controlling alarms and
hold it down for a minimum of 5 seconds after the alarms sounds. This will
allow the controlling device to sound an alarm if all the electronics, circuitry, and
horn are working. The controlling alarm will also send an activation signal
through the interconnecting wiring to the strobe light, and cause the strobe
light to flash if strobe light and the interconnection wiring are working properly.
If no alarm sounds check the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the
alarm circuit.
If the alarm sounds but the strobe light does not activate, refer to section 5 to
insure that the strobe light is wired properly.
TEST THE STROBE LIGHT AND YOUR ALARMS WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION.
OPERATION: The strobe light is operating once AC power is applied, and testing
is complete. When the strobe light is activated, it will flash for as long as the
controlling alarm remains active.
