Model 511C -Self-Diagnostic Smoke Detector

The 511C continually monitors its own sensitivity and operational status, and provides a visual indication if it drifts out of the sensitivity range or fails internal diagnostics. Additional diagnostic information is activated by applying a magnet near the detector’s integral reed switch. This initiates a self-diagnostic routine and provides visual indication of sensitivity level, or if service is required. The magnet test causes the LED to blink. The number of blink counts corresponds to a smoke detector sensitivity range. This meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity test requirements without the need for external meters.
