Maintain an Optical Beam Smoke detector
Before starting any maintenance on Optical Beam Smoke Detectors, the proper authorities need to
be notified that the Optical Beam Smoke Detectors will be temporarily out of service. The zone or
whole system managing the Optical Beam Smoke Detectors that are undergoing maintenance is
isolated to prevent unwanted alarms and possible dispatch of fire services personnel.
Optical Beam Smoke Detectors are designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However, it is
essential that routine checks (such as regular tests and scheduled service visits) and the special
servicing are carried out in order for the Optical Beam Smoke Detectors to remain fully operational
and to function effectively in an alarm condition
Remember to advise the authorities notified at the beginning of the maintenance activities that it has
been completed and the whole system is operational again.
Routine checks should consist of:
Visual inspection of all devices for physical damages and any other condition that might
impair proper operation.
The installation remains mechanically (fixture) and electrically (wiring) optimal
No major changes to the environment: the line of sight is respected and reflections or
obstructions have not been added.
Fault and Fire Alarm tests
If necessary, the lenses and / or the Reflector can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. Washing liquid,
alcohol or detergent must not be used.
Special servicing will be required under special circumstances:
After a Fire
If an unacceptable rate of false alarms is experienced
When a new maintenance organisation is contracted
Following long period of disconnection
Note:
In both circumstances, if any actions need to be undertaken, the installation criteria need
to be fulfilled and the testing procedure must be subsequently be carried out again.
