The test push button is used to ...

• A. Momentarily interrupt input line voltage to test the audible alarms and flag drop circuit
• B. Reset the alarm
• C. Silence the audible alarms
• D. Adjust the alarm set point

Answer: (A)

The test push button is used to momentarily interrupt the input line voltage to the alarm circuit so you can verify that the audible alarms will sound and the flag drop circuit operates. This is a built-in self-test to confirm the notification path and indicator response without needing a real fault. Resetting the alarm, silencing the alarms, or changing the set point are handled by other controls and do not simulate a test of the alarm system.
