Attaching and Removing the Detector

To remove the detector from the mounting base, grasp

the detector and turn it counterclockwise approximately 15

degrees. The detector should snap off of the mounting

base.
To remove the detector from the mounting base when

the detector/base lock is used, insert a small screwdriver

into the locking tab slot on the side of the base and press in

while simultaneously turning the detector counterclockwise

15 degrees. See Figure 6.
Attach the smoke detector to its mounting base as

follows:
-
Line up the raised tab on the side of the detector with the

arrow on the mounting base. See Figure 4.
- Insert the smoke detector into the base and turn

clockwise approximately 15 degrees. It should snap

firmly into place.

Testing the Detector Sensitivity

The detector provides a sensitivity test that allows you to

check the detector sensitivity using a test magnet and the

LED indicator on the detector as follows:
1. Hold the test magnet up to the raised TEST letters on

the top of the detector for 2 seconds. See Figure 5.

Once the test starts, the alarm LED flashes one to nine

times.

2. Count the number of times the LED flashes and use the

following table to determine the status of the detector

sensitivity and what action to take, if any.

After the test:

If the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests pass,

the detector goes into alarm and must be reset from the

control panel.
If the sensitivity is not within limits or an unserviceable

hardware fault has been detected, the detector LED

flashes every 1.5 seconds until the detector is serviced.
