Specificity Results:
Manufacturer claims sensors will respond to any liquid after its
threshold is exceeded.
No additional materials tested.
Manufacturer’s Specifications:
Manufacturer
states that the sensors can also be tested from their location without removal.
The test procedure is as follows: When the test button on the controller is
pressed, the normally closed light beam is opened, which simulates an actual
leak occurrence, sending an alarm signal to the controller.
The controller responds to the alarm signal by turning on an audio/visual
alarm and printing the test results.
