TESTING
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to
prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Testing
methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors offer max-
imum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72.
The sensor can be tested in the following ways:
A.
Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00)
1. Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test
area, as shown in Figure 4, to activate the test feature.
2. The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and an-
nunciating the panel.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
B.
Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts).
1. From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold
the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away to prevent damage to the
cover during testing.
2. The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the
detector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs fail to light, check the
power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under
CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced
and returned for repair.
When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify
the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.
FL-400-005
CLEANING
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke de-
tector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.
It is recommended that the sensor be removed from its mounting base for
easier cleaning and that sensors be cleaned at least once a year. Use a vacuum
cleaner to remove dust from the sensing chamber (Figure 5).
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING SMOKE DETECTOR GUARDS
Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combina-
tion has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
