2. 1-minute self-test every 30 days.

3. 30-minute self-test on the 6th month of the year after installation.

4. 90-minute self-test on the 12th month of the year after installation.

5. Factore pre-set functions - does not require field adjustment.

NOTE: The internal clock resets every time AC power fails or test switch is depressed.
