Troubleshooting

6.1 Smoke Detector Fault

Possible Causes



The power supply to the smoke detector is abnormal.



The smoke detector is faulty.



The cable connection of the smoke detector is abnormal.

Tools and Materials



Multimeter



Screwdriver



Step ladder



Spare smoke detectors

Procedure

Step 1

Check whether the power supply to the smoke detector is abnormal.

In normal conditions, use a multimeter to measure the common terminal (base terminal 1) and
the signal terminal (base terminal 3) and check whether the voltage is about 24 V.

Y => The voltage is normal. Go to

Step 2

N => Regulate the voltage to a normal value.

Check whether the fault is rectified.



If yes, no further action is required.



If no, go to

Step 2

Step 2

Replace the smoke detector.

Check whether the fault is rectified.



If yes, no further action is required.



If no, go to

Step 3

Step 3

Check the cable connection of the sensor base.
