The approved test method for both. The TEST button.
Per manufacturers literature.

Now my question is:

After you push the AFCI and or the GFCI test buttons as 'recommended' by the manufacture.


Do you Check and confirm that the affected devices are off?

Do you then go back and confirm that the affected devices worked in the first place?

Do you remove the batteries from the smoke 'Alarms' and ensure that they are on the AFCI ckt?

Do you Trace out All(both or more) SABC?
