NOTE

Be sure that the detector is correctly aimed at the 
potential hazard and that no obstructions interfere 
with  its  line  of  vision.    In  addition,  UV  absorbing 
gases  should  not  exist  between  the  detector  and 
the potential hazard.  

CHECKOUT PROCEDURE

CAUTION

When  testing  the  system,  be  sure  to  secure  all 
output  devices  to  prevent  unwanted  activation 
of  this  equipment,  and  remember  to  place  these 
same devices back into service when the checkout 
is complete.

 ChECK

1.  Place the keylock switch in the TEST position.  

—  The FAULT and INHIBIT LEDs turn on
—  Upper  right  display  indicates  the  zone  selected.  

Upper  left  display  identifies  the  detector  of  the 

displayed zone.

—  Lower display indicates a “1.”  (If any other number 

appears, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of 

this manual.)

2.  Push and hold the TEST/ACCEPT button.  

—  A ZONE OUTPUT LED flashes to indicate the zone 

of the detector being tested.

—  Upper left display goes blank.
—  Lower display changes to “6” to indicate that the fire 

threshold has been exceeded due to the radiation 

received from the UV source in the detector.  (See 

Table 1 for System Status Codes.)

3.  Release the TEST/ACCEPT button.  

—  The ZONE OUTPUT LED remains on steady.
—  The  upper  left  display  again  shows  the  detector 

being checked.  The lower display changes back 

to a “1.”

4.  Push the SELECT button.  The controller sequences to 

the next lower numbered zone.

NOTE

The 

oi

 test will check the detectors connected to 

the  No.  2  position  of  each  zone  first.    The  upper 
display  will  indicate  2-8,  2-7,  etc.,  and  then  cycle 
to 1-8, 1-7, etc., until all (switch selected) detectors 
are checked.

5.  Repeat  the  test  until  all  detectors  have  been 

checked.

6.  Return the system to the normal operating mode after 

the test is complete.

NOTE

The  Automatic 

oi

  system  continuously  monitors 

the  operation  of  the  R7404  but 

does  not

  monitor 

external relays or equipment that may be operated 
from the fire signal output, the alarm signal output, 
or  the  fault  signal  output.    It  is  important  that  the 
system  be  manually  checked  using  the  NORMAL 
mode checkout procedure on a regular basis.  The 
whole system (including external equipment) should 
be checked periodically using a UV Test Lamp to 
simulate a fire.

DETECTOR COUNT TEST

1.  Place the keylock switch in the TEST position.

—  The SYSTEM STATUS display shows the number 

“1.”

—  The  upper  displays  show  the  detector  and  zone 

that  are  electrically  positioned  for  test.    If  the 

desired detector and zone are not displayed, press 

the SELECT button until the appropriate numerals 

appear on the upper display.

2.  Press  and  release  the  SELECT  and  TEST/ACCEPT 

buttons at exactly the same time.
—  SYSTEM STATUS display changes to an “8.”
—  Upper display does not change.

3.  Press and hold the TEST/ACCEPT button.

—  The UV source tube in the detector under test turns 

on.

—  The  upper  displays  indicate  the  discharge  rate 

of the UV sensor under test.  If the FIRE LOGIC 

LEDs turn on, multiply the displayed count by 10.  

If the count rate does not fall within the 50 to 300 

range, clean the detector viewing window and the 

oi

 reflector ring, then test again.  If cleaning does 

not solve the problem, replace the 

oi

 reflector ring.  

Make sure that the slot is positioned at the bottom 

of the detector and away from the source tube.

NOTE 

During normal operation, tube modules should be 
replaced only if a “2” fault occurs and cannot be 
remedied following the above procedure.

4.  Release the TEST/ACCEPT button.  The upper displays 

now indicate the quiescent state of the detector tube.  

The count should be between 0 and 5.  If higher, place 

an obstruction (cardboard or similar material) over the 

detector window.  If the count rate returns to the 0 to 5 

range, the detector has been responding to external
