TAMPER RESISTANCE
Intelligent programmable temperature sensors include a tamper-resistant ca-
pability that prevents removal from the base without the use of a tool. Refer to
the base manual for details on making use of this capability.
TESTING
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to
prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Test-
ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors
offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with
NFPA 72.
A. Test Magnet (Model No. M02-04 - optional)
1. Place the optional test magnet against the cover in the magnet test
area, as shown in Figure 3, to activate the test feature.
2. The LEDs should latch on within 10 seconds, indicating alarm and
annunciating the panel.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
B. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000 – 1500 watts)
1. From the side of the detector, direct the heat toward the sensor. Hold
the heat source about 6 inches (15 cm) away to prevent damage to
the cover during testing.
2. The LEDs on the detector should light when the temperature at the
detector reaches the alarm setpoint. If the LEDs fail to light, check the
power to the detector and the wiring in the detector base.
3. Reset the detector at the system control panel.
Detectors that fail these tests may need to be cleaned as described under
CLEANING and retested.
CLEANING
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted
alarms.
1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from
the sensing area.
3. Reinstall the detector.
4. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
5. Reconnect disabled circuits.
6. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.

FCC STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
DEVICE AND SYSTEM SECURITY
Before installing this product ensure that the
tamper seal on the packaging is present and
unbroken and the product has not been tampered
with since leaving the factory. Do not install this
product if there are any indications of tampering.
If there are any signs of tampering the product
should be returned to the point of purchase.
It is the responsibility of the system owner to
ensure that all system components, i.e. devices,
panels, wiring etc., are adequately protected to
avoid tampering of the system that could result
in information disclosure, spoofing, and integrity
violation.
