TESTING YOUR FSA-30000 SMOKE ALARMS

We recommend testing your FSA-30000 Smoke Alarms monthly to confirm they are working correctly.

Step 1

Press and hold the Test button for two seconds. The alarm will sound three short chirps, pause for 1.5 seconds, and then continue sounding until you release the button.

Step 2

ALARMS SOUND

For interconnected alarms, press and hold the Test button for five seconds. The alarm you are testing will sound first, followed by all interconnected alarms, confirming that the wireless network is operating correctly. After the test, check that the red LED on each alarm is flashing. This will continue for three minutes to indicate a successful test.

The BLUE LED will illuminate for 30 seconds, indicating pairing mode is active.

MASTER ALARM PAIRING

If pairing does not complete, repeat Step 4 to restart pairing mode.

Step 6

CONNECT TO SLAVE ALARMS

On the SLAVE unit, press the CONTROL button three times within 2 seconds.

  1. If the LEDs on both alarms turn GREEN for 3 seconds, pairing is successful.
