MOUNTING
After enrolling and before mounting permanently, conduct Go/No Go test (see controller’s
instructions) to verify adequate signal strength. Adjust the device location as necessary.
1. Using two supplied screws and anchors, mount the base.
2. Attach the smoke detector to the mounting base with a clockwise motion.
3. Test each detector as described in the Testing section.
4. Confirm all desired signals have been received by the Central Station.
NOTE:
NFPA 72 recommends the installation of detectors only after completing
construction or any other dust producing activity.
TESTING
Test communications between the detector and the control panel.
The detector mode has two test buttons; one for smoke testing and
one for CO testing.
The detector may also be functionally tested using canned smoke
and canned CO. If the detector fails any of the test methods, the
detector should be replaced.
NOTE:
Testing the detector will activate the alarm and send a signal to
the panel.
Before testing, notify the proper authorities to avoid any
false alarms.
Smoke Test (Alarm Test)
Press and hold the Smoke Test button for 1 to 2 seconds. The
detector will sound and illuminate per Table 2 and send a smoke
alarm signal to the control panel (all programmed smoke detector
loops are signaled). Verify that the smoke alarm signal was
received at the control panel.
Smoke System Test (Functional Smoke Test)
Press and hold the Smoke Test button for 3 to 5 seconds to enter
the functional smoke test mode.
See Functional Smoke Test section.
NOTE
: Detector sounds an alarm when using canned smoke
only
when in
Functional Test mode (canned smoke does not cause alarm
sounding when in normal mode).
Functional Smoke Test
With the detector in smoke system (functional) test mode, spray
canned smoke into the detector. The canned smoke that can be
used and is approved for test include: Home Safeguard Industries
25S, SDi CHEK02 and CHEK06, SDi SOLOA4, and SDi
SMOKESABRE.
1.
The detector will sound and illuminate per Table 2 and a smoke
alarm signal will be sent to the panel.
2.
Verify the smoke alarm signal was received by the control panel.
CO Test (Alarm Test)
Press and hold the CO Test button for 1 to 2 seconds. The control
panel should display and sound a CO alarm (all programmed CO
detector loops are sent).
CO System Test (Functional CO Test)
Press and hold the CO Test button for 3-5 seconds to enter the
functional gas test mode.
See Functional Gas Test section below.
Functional Gas Test
Solo C6 brand canned CO may be used to verify the detector’s
ability to sense CO by utilizing the RealTest® feature as follows:
1. Press and hold the CO test button for 3 to 5 seconds. The green
LED will start blinking once per second indicating the detector is
in RealTest® mode. (If the detector will not go into RealTest®
mode, the CO sensor may be in fault or at end-of-life.)
2. While the green LED is blinking once per second, spray a small
amount of canned CO directly into the CO gas entry port.
3. Upon successful gas entry and if functioning properly, the
detector will go into CO alarm and send an alarm to the control
panel.
4. The CO test will automatically clear when the CO clears from the
sensor or in 30 seconds if no CO was introduced.
