Measure ground wire resistance (Electrical safety test #3, 0.50 ohm maximum)
Measure chassis leakage to ground (Electrical safety test #4, 100 microamperes maximum)
Measure electrode leakage. (Electrical safety test #5, 50 microamperes maximum.)
Alarm trip points are tested for accuracy and activation
Volume of the alarm is checked
Assure the alarms can not be turned off or disabled permanently

If minor deficiencies are found and can easily be corrected, make correction or adjustment and
document in comments section of this form. Generate a corrective maintenance form for major
repairs or calibration.
