Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor
status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to
blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical
documentation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to
alarm.
B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501)
The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry
testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as de-
scribed in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator,
apply aerosol until the panel alarms. Additionally, canned aerosol
simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may be used for smoke entry
testing of the smoke detector. Tested and approved aerosol smoke
products are the Smoke Detector Tester model 25S available from Home
Safeguard Industries and Chekkit Smoke Detector Tester models
CHEK02 and CHEK06 available from SDi. When used properly, the
canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detector to go into alarm.
Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for proper use of the
canned smoke agent.
Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will
vary by manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have
long term adverse effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned
smoke agent manufacturer’s published instructions for any further
warnings or caution statements.
For 2251TMBPI, smoke entry testing should be performed immediately
following the magnet test. Magnet test initiates an approximately 10
minute period when the detector’s signal processing software routines
are not active. Failure to first perform the magnet test will introduce a
time delay before the detector alarms.
C.
Direct Heat Method (Hair Dryer of 1000-1500 watts) 2251TMBPI only
A hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts should be used to test the thermistors.
Direct the heat toward either of the two thermistors, holding the heat
source approximately 12 inches from the detector in order to avoid
damaging the plastic housing. The detector will reset only after it has had
sufficient time to cool. Make sure both thermistors are tested
individually.
A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described
under CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must
be replaced. When testing is complete, restore the system to normal
operation and notify the proper authorities that the system is back in
operation.
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
un-wanted alarms.
1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Remove the sensor cover by pressing firmly on each of the four
removal tabs that hold the cover in place.
3. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning
is required continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 7.
4. Remove the chamber cover/screen assembly by pulling it straight out.
5. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris
from the sensing chamber
6. Reinstall the chamber cover/screen assembly by sliding the edge over
the sensing chamber. Turn until it is firmly in place.
7. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently
pushing it until it locks into place. Make sure that the thermistors do not
become bent under the cover on 2251TMBPI model.
8. Reinstall the detector.
9. Test the detector as described in TESTING.
10. Reconnect disabled circuits.
11. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.
Note: Please dispose electronic waste following national or local
regulations after being scrapped or replaced. Do not discard.
