Smoke Testing the Detector

Smoke detectors should be tested in place annually using

smoke or canned aerosol simulated smoke. Follow the

instructions on the canned smoke or use the following

steps to test the detector with smoke:
1. Hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the

smoke entry openings.

2. Gently direct the smoke into the detector for 20 seconds

or until an alarm is indicated.

BE SURE TO PROPERLY EXTINGUISH THE SMOKE

SOURCE AFTER TESTING! The detector LED should

stay on and an alarm should be indicated at the control

panel. Use the system reset switch to reset the detector.

Understanding the LED

The LED on the detector indicates the status of the detector

as follows:
Flashing every 9 seconds = Normal operation.
On = Detects smoke, sending an alarm.
Off or flashing once every 1.5 seconds = Trouble or

maintenance is required. Test the detector. See Testing the

Detector Sensitivity.
