3. Press the Test/Silence button to quiet the sounder. The unit automati-
cally resets when smoke is no longer present and the LED should turn
off and return to normal operation (one flash every 9 seconds).
4. Contact the central monitoring to verify they received the alarm
report.
5 . Alert the central monitoring station when you are finished testing.
Sensitivity Test
1 . Press and hold the test/silence button for two seconds, then release it.
The unit transmits a test signal, then performs a self-test that causes
the LED to flash 1 to 9 times.
2. Count the number of LED flashes, then use the following table to
determine if any action is necessary.
Flashes
0-1
Indication:
Unservicable hardware fault.
Action:
Reset and rerun sensitivity test. If the error
persists, replace unit.
2-3
Indication:
Unit is becoming insensitive.
Action:
Clean and reset the unit. Rerun sensitivity test.
If the error persists, replace the unit.
4-7
Indication:
Unit is within normal sensitivity range.
Action:
N/A
8-9
Indication:
Unit is becoming too sensitive.
Action:
Verify the optical chamber is snapped down
securely. Clean the unit and replace the optical
chamber.
After the LED flashes, if the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests
pass, the unit goes into alarm and resets after 7 seconds. If the sensitivity
is not within limits, or an unserviceable hardware fault has been detected,
the unit LED extinguishes until the unit is serviced.
Troubleshooting
The following describes how the unit indicates a fault condition. Correct
fault conditions as soon as possible.
•
The LED stops working (no flashing or turning on), see Sensitivity Test.
•
The unit stops transmitting supervisory signals if the unit has an
unserviceable hardware fault or is not sensitive enough, causing the
panel to indicate the detector is in a supervisory condition. However,
the unit can still transmit alarm signals.
•
The unit transmits a trouble (CleanMe) signal, see Maintaining the
Units.
When to Replace the Batteries
When the battery voltage gets low, the unit transmits a low battery signal
for the panel to receive. The panel activates trouble beeps through system
sirens and identifies the unit with the low battery on system touchpad
displays. If the batteries are not replaced within seven days, the unit’s
built-in sounder emits a short beep or chirp every 45 seconds. Unit chirps
can be silenced for 24 hours by pressing the Test/Silence button. Batteries
should be replaced as soon as possible.
Replacing the Batteries
Use only 3V lithium batteries listed in Specifications.
1. Remove the unit from the mounting base. See Programming Step 1.
2. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the alarm to unsnap it
and lift it off. See Figure 2.
3. Remove the batteries and dispose of them properly.
4. Observing correct polarity, insert two new 3V lithium batteries into the
battery compartment and replace the cover.
5. Reattach the unit to the mounting base. See Programming Step 4.
6. Test the system.
Cleaning
Clean the cover with a dry or damp (water) cloth as needed to keep it free
from dust and dirt.
When necessary, clean the interior and replace the optical chamber (part
#211) as follows:
1 . Disconnect the alarm notification appliances.
2. Remove the unit from the mounting base. See Programming Step 1.
3 . Remove the batteries. See Replacing the Batteries.
4 . Slide a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot on the alarm cap and gently
push the handle down to pry the alarm cap up and off. See Figure 4.
5 . Squeeze the optical chamber where indicated and pull it up and away
from the optical base and discard. See Figure 5.
6. Blow out or use a soft-bristled brush to remove all dust and dirt from
the optical base.
7 . Line the new optical chamber up with the optical base and snap into
place both sides of the optical chamber.
8. Replace the alarm cap as follows:
-Line the alarm cap up with the unit.
-Insert the alarm cap into the unit and turn clockwise approximately
15 degrees. It should snap firmly into place.
9. Observing the proper polarity, replace the batteries and the battery
compartment cover.
10.Reattach the unit to the mounting base. See Programming Step 4.
11. Test the sensitivity and reconnect all alarm notification appliances.
See Sensitivity Test.
Important !
The control panel alarm and all auxiliary functions
should be verified for a complete test of the system.
Maintenance
The units are designed for easy field service and maintenance. When
installed and used properly, they require minimal maintenance.
The units should be tested weekly.
When a unit requires maintenance, it extinguishes its LED and sends a
signal to the control panel as described in the following table.
S i g n a l
Action Required
Trouble Signal
Sensitivity range is too high and the unit needs
cleaning. See Cleaning. Panels supporting this
feature identify the trouble as “Partial Obscurity”
on system touchpad displays.
Low Battery
Batteries in the unit are low. Replace the batteries.
