Section 3:Testing the Monitor After Enrollment
CAUTION: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of smoke,
CO, and heat alarms, always stand an arm’s length away
from alarms when testing.
• Initiate monitor test through the app, or pressing
test button on the monitor. Wait while the
system conducts a self-test.
• Once self-test is complete, you will hear a voice message to
“test the alarm farthest from this device”.
- If the self-test is unsuccessful, your monitor will enter fault
mode and you will receive a notification on your device.
Validate your network connection, attempt test again, and
then contact customer service if necessary.
• Test the alarm farthest from the monitor. To test a smoke, CO,
Combination, or Heat alarm, push the test button and con-
firm that at least two T-3 patterns (3 long beeps followed by
a pause) are produced for smoke and heat alarms, or two T-4
patterns (4 quick beeps followed by a pause) are produced
for CO alarms. For combination alarms you should hear two
of each type of pattern.
• If the monitor detects a CO or smoke alarm pattern, you
will hear the voice message “CO alarm detected” or
“Smoke alarm detected,” followed by the message “Test
successful.”and app will show alarm detected.
• If the monitor does not detect an alarm pattern within 2
minutes, you will hear the message “Alarm not heard , now
monitoring”. Attempt to test the alarm again, and if the
error persists, redo setup for your alarms by activating the
Alarm Monitoring Setup your app menu. If this does not
resolve your issue, consider relocating the monitor, and
activate “Alarm Monitoring Setup” again. See previous
section for setting up alarms.
