Note: Installation should only be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable national and local codes.
Operating Instructions
The RTS151 provides remote testing capabilities for connected System Sensor devices. The specific test procedures will depend on the primary device it is connected to.
- Initiating a Test: To initiate a test, follow the instructions provided in the manual for the primary System Sensor device. This typically involves activating a test switch or button on the RTS151 or the primary control panel.
- Observing Indicators: During a test, observe the indicator lights on the RTS151. These lights provide visual feedback on the status of the test and the connected device. Refer to the primary device's manual for the meaning of specific light patterns (e.g., green for normal, red for alarm/fault).
- Resetting the System: After a successful test or if an alarm/fault condition is indicated, reset the system according to the primary device's instructions. This may involve pressing a reset button on the RTS151 or the control panel.
For detailed operational procedures, always consult the user manual of the System Sensor device connected to the RTS151.
