Specificity Results:
Manufacturer claims sensors will respond to any liquid after its threshold is exceeded.  
No additional materials tested.

Manufacturer's Specifications:
Manufacturer states that the sensors can also be tested from their location without removal.  
The test procedure is as follows: When the test button on the controller is pressed, the normally closed light beam is opened, which simulates an actual leak occurrence, sending an alarm signal to the controller.  
The controller responds to the alarm signal by turning on an audio/visual alarm and printing the test results.

Simulating a leak occurrence from the controller does not meet the 12 month operability certification requirement of section 2638(a) of the California Code of Regulations, title 23.
