V. CHECKOUT AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Supply power to the system control panel.  The auxiliary signaling appliances in the system should not be activated.
2. If the signal is activated:
· Check all smoke and fire detectors in the system to make sure they have not been activated.
· Check all wiring connections to make sure the signal detection circuits are not reversed or shorted together.  Check wire color codes and traces.
· Verify that the jumpers are properly set on both the control module and signal appliance.  If the jumper on the AVS44 is as shown in Fig. 3, the 
horns will not produce any sound unless there is an input to the H+ and H- terminals on the control module.
3. To test the signal appliances, trip the auxiliary panel or activate the alarm circuit at the main control panel or activate one of the fire detection units in 
the system.  All auxiliary signals should be activated.
4. An operational test on this product should be conducted in accordance with National Standards or at a minimum annually and more often if dictated
by local and state codes or authorities having jurisdiction.
