Alarm Test
EXO’s alarm test is an audio/visual assessment used to ensure the siren, speaker, LED lights and microphones are operating correctly. The top lights will flash, and the notification pitch will increase. The volume of alarm test sounds cannot be adjusted.
An alarm test is run at the following times:
-
As part of the start-up sequence
-
Before all bump tests
-
Before each calibration
If EXO detects a problem while running the alarm test, the full test will immediately be attempted two more times. If EXO still detects a problem after the third attempt, the failed alarm test results will be recorded and sent to Blackline Live.
Muffling the speaker during an alarm test will result in a failure. An environment that is too loud will also result in a failed alarm test.
