Spotted in a coffee shop chain. What's the use of installing a test switch if you gotta go all the way up just to turn it?

Wouldn't you want it somewhere out of the way, though, so that it doesn't get set off by accident? I have to stand on a chair to test my home alarm systems; I don't understand what the "fail" is here.

I'm not saying the duct detector is in a bad location, but the test switch is. Its that little white box to the right of the detector. The main purpose of installing a test switch is so that you don't have to get a ladder/lift to test the duct detector, but can instead trip a detector remotely. There's no way to really set off the test switch by accident as it needs a fire alarm key to activate.
