4. Local diagnostics test

Separate the device cover from the base before testing and complete the following steps:
Note: For further instruction, see Mounting the device (screw installation), step 1.

1. Close the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal (undisturbed) position.

2. Open the door or window momentarily to verify detection. Red LED blinks will indicate detection.

3. Wait 2 secondsfor the LED to blink three times and compare the LED color to the reception result in Table 3.

Table 3: Sig nal st reng th indicat ion

LED response Reception

Green LED blinks Strong

Yellow LED blinks Good

Red LED blinks Poor

No blinks No communication

Important! Reliablereception must be assured. Therefore, poor signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a poor signal from the detector, re­locate it and re-test untila strong signal strength is received . In regions requiring UL-compliant installation, only strong signalstrength is permitted.
Note: A strong signalstrength is suggested. You must verify the signal strength using the control panel diagnostic test. For detailed diagnosticstest
instructions, refer to the control panel installer guide.

However, there is no guarantee that interfer ence willnot occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user isencouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

-Reor ient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the r eceiver isconnected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
Cet équipement a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites s’appliquant à un appareil numérique de classe B, conformément à la Partie 15 des
réglementations de la FCC. Ces limites ont été élaborées pour offrir une pr otection raisonnable contre lesinterferences nuisiblesdans une installation
résidentille.

7. Special comments

Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection, malicious
masking of the lens, tampering with the opticalsystem, decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures close to that of the human body and unexpected
failure of a component part.
The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It istherefor e recommended that
the detector and the entire alarm system be checked weekly,to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent enough to continue
insuring their lives and property, even though they are protected by an alarm system.
