alarm test
Scheduled siren verification
An alarm test is a scheduled check of an alarm system to verify it's working properly.
Building managers typically notify occupants and monitoring services beforehand so the triggered alarms don't cause panic or summon emergency responders: Please disregard the noise—we're conducting an alarm test at 2 PM.
