Preparation for The Smoke Test
1.
Before going out to perform the actual smoke tests review each detector view area and
decide what method of smoke testing best fits, based on how much smoke is required and
whether power is available for the smoke machine. A large area with no access to power
will require several smoke pellets, so care should be taken on deciding where to place them
to give a plume of smoke over all the detector view where regions will need to be set and
smoke parameters configured. Whatever method used the “risk areas” which have already
been defined must be smoke tested in such a manner that a plume of smoke is achieved in
front of all of them.
2.
Identify the best route around the detectors to be smoke tested. FireVu Ltd. recommend
doing no more than 8 channels in one go. Ideally, you should be able to travel from one
channel to the next with the minimum amount of time between tests.
3.
Ensure you have the necessary number of smoke pellets along with at least a 10% overhead
for repeat tests and a sufficient amount of the appropriate smoke fluid if using a smoke
machine.
iv.
Performing the Smoke Test
1.
Proceed to the first detector's viewable area and set up the smoke test as required. Before
lighting pellets or starting smoke machine discharge note the time from your time-piece,
(which has been synchronised to that of the FireVu equipment), on your chart or form.
2.
Wait for 30 seconds to allow all pixel changes resulting from your presence
to “settle”. Start
the smoke test. If using a machine discharge for at least 30 seconds, or as long as needed
