Cleaning  Instructions  for  Optical  Smoke  and  Multisensor 
Detectors 

 

These cleaning instructions can be applied to Optical Smoke and Multisensor Detectors within all 
the Ampac ranges. 

 

 

Tools Required 

Detector Duster 204-0024. 

General 

If a smoke detector is dirty it should be cleaned without disassembling. Use a commercial 

vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove exterior dust and dirt and an air pressure 
canister (Detector Duster) to blow through the smoke entry points as illustrated in the image below. 
The case can be cleaned with a dampened cloth with a solution of washing up liquid.
