1.
Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit.
2.
Inspect the viewing windows for contamination and
clean as necessary. The detector is relatively
insensitive to airborne contaminants, however, thick
deposits of ice, dirt, or oil will reduce sensitivity.
(Refer to the “Maintenance” section for complete
information regarding cleaning of the detector
viewing window.)
3.
Check input power to the unit.
4.
If the fire system has a logging function, check the
fire panel log for status.
5.
Turn off the input power to the detector and check
all wiring for continuity.
Important:
Disconnect
wiring at the detector before checking system
wiring for continuity.
6.
If all wiring checks out and cleaning of the
oi
plate/window did not correct the fault condition,
check for high levels of background IR radiation by
covering the detector with the factory supplied
cover or aluminum foil. If the fault condition clears
within 6 minutes or less, extreme background IR is
present. Re-adjust the view of the detector away
from the IR source or relocate the detector.
If none of these actions corrects the problem, contact
the factory.
PERIODIC CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
Periodic testing is not required when the detector is
configured for automatic optical integrity testing. If the
X3300 is configured for manual
oi
operation, a
checkout of the system using the
oi
feature should be
performed on a regularly scheduled basis to ensure that
the system is operating properly. To test the system,
perform the “Manual
oi
Test” as described in the
“Startup Procedure” section of this manual.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
Periodic flamepath inspections are not
recommended since the product is not intended to
be serviced and provides proper ingress protection
to eliminate potential deterioration of the flamepaths.
WARNING
The detector contains no user serviceable
components and should never be opened.
To maintain maximum sensitivity, the viewing windows
of the X3300 must be kept relatively clean. Refer to the
procedure below for instructions.
CLEANING PROCEDURE
CAUTION
Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit to prevent unwanted
actuation.
To clean the window and
oi
plate, use Det-Tronics
window cleaner (part number 001680-001) and a soft
cloth or tissue and refer to the procedure below.
1.
Disable any extinguishing equipment that is
connected to the unit.
2.
Since the X3300 is less affected by contamination
than other detectors, removal of the
oi
plate is
needed only under extreme conditions. In addition,
it is not necessary to achieve perfect cleanliness,
because IR is not significantly absorbed by slight
films of oil and/or salt. If a fault condition is still
indicated after cleaning, remove and clean the
oi
plate using the procedure below.
3.
Clean all three viewing windows and reflector
surfaces thoroughly using a clean cloth, cotton
swab or tissue and Det-Tronics window cleaning
solution. If a stronger solution is needed, isopropyl
alcohol may be used.
Oi
PLATE REMOVAL
1.
Remove the
oi
plate from the detector by loosening
the
oi
plate knob.
2.
Thoroughly clean the
oi
plate reflective surfaces,
holding it by its edges to avoid leaving fingerprints
on the inside reflective surface.
3.
Re-install the
oi
plate. Ensure that the plate is flat
on the detector surface. Tighten the
oi
plate knob
securely (40 oz/inches).
NOTE
If the
oi
plate is removed, be sure to install the
original
oi
plate.
oi
plates are not interchangeable
and should not be mixed with
oi
plates from other
detectors.
NOTE
If corrosive contaminants in the atmosphere cause
the
oi
plate surface to deteriorate to the extent that
it is no longer possible to restore it to its original
condition, it must be replaced. Consult factory for
oi
plate replacement procedure.
