I will test my Smoke Detector, NOT with the test button, but by spraying "Smoke Detector Test Spray" into it to actually trigger it. However, I have Monitoring and do not want to see Fire Trucks! :-) Is it sufficient to put my system into "Test Mode" first from the panel? Will I still receive a call from the Monitoring Center (I would like to test THEIR response too)?
If I DON'T put the system in Test Mode first, will Monitoring Center call me first before sending Fire Department (if so, this would be a more "pure/complete" test).
TIA!
