Understanding the operational indicators and testing procedures is essential for ensuring your detector is functioning correctly.
4.1 ການເຮັດວຽກປົກກະຕິ
Once installed with a fresh battery, the detector will enter normal operating mode. A small LED indicator on the front of the unit will flash approximately once every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the detector is powered and functioning correctly.
4.2 ການທົດສອບເຄື່ອງກວດຈັບ
Test the smoke detector weekly to ensure it is working properly. To test:
- Press and hold the test button located on the front of the detector.
- The alarm will sound a loud, pulsating horn.
- ປ່ອຍປຸ່ມ. ສັນຍານເຕືອນຄວນຢຸດ.
- ຖ້າສັນຍານເຕືອນບໍ່ດັງ, ໃຫ້ອ້າງອີງເຖິງພາກສ່ວນການແກ້ໄຂບັນຫາ.
