4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as described in the GEMINI
501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator, apply
aerosol until the panel alarms. Additionally, canned
aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be
used for smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested
and approved aerosol smoke products are the Smoke
Detector Tester model 25S available from Home
Safeguard Industries and Chekkit Smoke Detector Tester
models CHEK02 and CHEK06 available from SDi.
When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause
the smoke detector to go into alarm. Refer to the
manufacturer’s published instructions for proper use of
the canned smoke agent.
Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent)
formulas will vary by manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of
these products may have long term adverse effects on the
smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent
manufacturer’s published instructions for any further
warnings or caution statements.
A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as
described under CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor
fails after cleaning, it must be replaced.
When testing is complete, restore the system to normal
operation and notify the proper authorities that the system
is back in operation.
