TESTING

Before testing notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector system is under-
going maintenance and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the zone or system 
undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms. Detectors must be tested after 
installation and as part of periodic maintenance. 
Test the SD-651 as follows:

NOTE:

  Before testing the detector, check to ensure the LEDs blink.  If they do not,  

the detector has lost power  (check the wiring) or it is defective (return it for 
repair).

A.  Test Magnet (Model no. M02-04-01)
     1.   Place the magnet against the cover in the location designated by the raised 

mark to activate the test feature (see Figure 1).

     2.   The LEDs should latch ON within 5 seconds indicating alarm and annunciating 

the panel.

B.  Test Module ( MOD400R). 
     Use the MOD400R with a DMM or voltmeter to check the detector sensitivity as 

described in the MOD400R manual.

C. Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501)
     Set the generator to represent 4% to 5%/Ft. obscuration as described in the Gem-

ini 501 Manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator, apply aerosol until unit alarms.

Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line. Detectors that fail these 
tests should be cleaned as described under 

MAINTENANCE

 and retested. If the de-

tectors still fail these tests they should be returned for repair.

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that the detector be removed from its mounting base to facilitate 
cleaning. The detector is cleaned as follows:
NOTE:     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 detector cover by prying away the four side tabs with a small-bladed 

screwdriver, and then pulling the cover from the base.

2.  Vacuum  the  screen  carefully  without  removing  it.  If  further  cleaning  is  required 

continue with Step 3, otherwise skip to Step 8.

3.  Remove the screen assembly by pulling it straight out (see Figure 2).
4.  Remove the sensing chamber cover by pulling it straight out.
5.  Clean the vaned chamber piece by vacuuming or blowing out dust and particles.
6.  Replace the sensing chamber cover, aligning the arrow on the top with arrow on 

the printed circuit board.

7.  To replace the screen, place it over the chamber assembly, turning it until it snaps 

into place.

8.  Replace the cover using the test module socket and LEDs to align the cover and 

then gently pushing it until it locks into place.

9.  Reinstall the detector.
10.Test the detector as described in TESTING.
11. Reconnect disabled circuits.
12.Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
