TESTING THE INSTALLATION (continued)
To test the ability of smoke to enter the chamber, you may use
a smoldering punk stick or a cotton wick. Hold the smoke
source near the smoke entry openings of the detector and di-
rect the smoke into the detector. Continue for up to 20 sec-
onds or until an alarm signal occurs. The actual time required
will depend upon air flow conditions surrounding the detector.
This is a go/no-go test and is not an accurate test of the sensi-
tivity of the detector.
Be sure to properly extinguish the smoke
source following the test!

SPECIFICATIONS
SENSITIVITY MEASUREMENT
The sensitivity of the SN982-SMOKE smoke detector may be de-
termined using a Gemini 501 smoke detector tester. Refer to the
Operation Manual supplied by Gemini Scientific Corp. and to Apollo
Technical Bulletin PP2071/1999 on how to set to the instrument to
carry out the test.
Sensitivity measurements should be performed on each detector
in accordance with the requirements listed in NFPA 72 Chapter 7.
MAINTENANCE
Under normal circumstances, the minimum maintenance require-
ments of the SN982-SMOKE consists of an annual cleaning of dust
from the detector head with a vacuum cleaner. (More frequent clean-
ing may be required in dusty areas.) Additional guidelines on de-
tector maintenance requirements may be found in NFPA 72 Chapter
7 and the NEMA
Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detec-
tors
.
NOTE:
Be sure to alert all concerned parties whenever any test-
ing or maintenance of the fire alarm system is to occur.
CAUTION:
Removing the head from the SN982-SMOKE
smoke detector will disable the transmitter, resulting in
a Failure-to-Communicate indication at the control panel.
