How can I test the functionality of my Ei407 Manual Call Point?

Testing your Ei407 Manual Call Point is a straightforward process, ensuring your fire safety system functions correctly. Here's how to do it:

1. Power Check: Begin by verifying the green light on the front of the Manual Call Point is flashing every 40 seconds. This indicates the device has power and is operational.
2. Activation Test: Press the black spot on the Manual Call Point. The white element should drop down, revealing a yellow edge, confirming activation. The light will turn solid red for 3 seconds, then flash red every 45 seconds for 5 minutes, signaling the alarm transmission.
3. Alarm Verification: Ensure all connected RF units are in alarm. If any alarms fail to activate, repeat the House Coding procedure to establish proper communication.
4. Reset Procedure: Use the provided plastic key to reset the Manual Call Point. Insert the forked end into the slots, pull the bottom housing down, remove the key, and then firmly push the bottom housing back against the back, sliding it upwards. This action resets the switch.
5. Reset Reminder: If the Manual Call Point is not reset successfully, the light will flash red every 40 seconds, serving as a reminder.
6. Reset Confirmation: Upon successful reset, a single red light flash lasting 3 seconds confirms the alarm cancel signal transmission. If the light flashes amber every 9 seconds, the batteries are depleted, and the unit should be returned for repair or replacement.
