4. After all detector heads, addressable bases and modules have been
installed, apply power to the FACP.
5. Test the detectors as described in the Testing Section of this manual.
NOTICE:
DO NOT INSTALL DETECTOR HEADS UNTIL AREA HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY CLEANED TO REMOVE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS, DUST, ETC.,
AS REQUIRED BY NFPA 72.
4. Spacing Limitations
NOTICE:
REFER TO NFPA 72 FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING DETECTOR
SPACING, MOUNTING LOCATION AND SPECIAL APPLICATIONS.
PAD100-PD, PAD100-PHD: Photoelectric Smoke Detector
PAD100-PD and PAD100-PHD are ANSI/UL listed on maximum 30ft spacing
limitation with alarm set point from 135
O
-174
O
F on smooth ceiling. Refer to
NFPA 72 for specific information regarding detector spacing, placement and
special applications.
PAD100-HD: Heat Detector
The ANSI/UL listed spacing limitations of PAD100-HD smooth ceiling are
dependent on alarm set point.
5. Testing
Testing shall be performed periodically to determine if each detector operates
properly. Detectors will offer maximum performance when tested in compliance
with NFPA 72.
NOTICE:
REFER TO FIRE ALARM CONTROL PANEL (FACP) MANUAL FOR
OPERATION OF DIRTY VALUE READ / PRINT, ALARM SIMULATION AND WALK
TEST.
Operational Testing
When PAD100-PD, PAD100-PHD, PAD100-HD and PAD100-CD are under normal
conditions in standby mode, the alarm indicator LEDs will pulse approximately
once every 4 seconds.
NOTICE:
WHEN A PANEL IS CONFIGURED TO NOT FLASH LEDS, THE LEDS ON
THE DETECTORS WILL NOT FLASH AT ANY TIME.
Sensitivity Testing
(Dirty Value Read / Print)
The sensitivity drift value (Dirty Value) of the smoke detector can be checked at
the FACP. The Dirty Value can be read and printed out at the FACP.
NOTICE:
DETECTOR COMPENSATES SENSITIVITY UNTIL LIMIT OF
COMPENSATION. WHEN COMPENSATION RATE REACHES LIMIT, A TROUBLE
SIGNAL WILL BE INDICATED ON THE FACP.
Functional Testing
NOTICE:
BE SURE TO DIS-ENGAGE ALL ALARM SIGNAL SERVICES,
RELEASING DEVICES AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS, PRIOR TO
PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING TEST, EXCEPT AUTOMATIC TESTING BY
THE FACP. BE SURE TO RE-ENGAGE THESE SYSTEMS WHEN ALL TESTING IS
COMPLETE.
Walk Test
The FACP must be placed into Walk Test Mode and follow the steps below. Use
the appropriate steps outlined below for the detector that is to be tested.
CAUTION!
FAILURE TO ALARM DURING A TEST INDICATES A DEFECTIVE
DETECTOR. REPLACE DETECTOR IMMEDIATELY.
a. PAD100-PD and PAD100-PHD Smoke Detectors: Use a ANSI/UL listed aerosol
such as Home Safeguard Model 25S or SDi Smoke Centurion as acceptable to
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
b. PAD100-PHD and PAD100-HD Heat Detectors:
NOTICE:
TAKE CARE DURING THE HEATING OF THE DETECTOR TO AVOID
OVERHEATING THE PLASTIC HOUSING.
Use of a low powered heat gun is acceptable.
CAUTION!
Do not heat over 210
o
F (98.9
o
C).
Maintain a minimum of 1 foot between the detector and the heat gun
nozzle.
Heat the detector for a minimum of 10 seconds.
FACP will indicate with alarm when a sufficient amount of heat has been
applied. LED indicator will continuously flash while detector is in alarm.
c. PAD100-CD: Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Use the Home Safeguard Model
HO-CO2 Aerosol with Home Safeguard Model Versa-Test Head VT1 or the SDI
Solo C6 Aerosol with SDI Solo 330 Dispenser as acceptable to the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
NOTICE:
NEVER USE EXHAUST FROM VEHICLE TO TEST CO PORTION OF
DETECTOR. EXHAUST MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO DETECTOR
AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
6. Maintenance
The detector should be cleaned as needed. Detectors installed in environments
more prone to dust may need cleaning based on build-up of dust. The Dirty
Value Report provides an indication when the detectors should be cleaned.
NOTICE:
THE DETECTOR IS NOT WASHABLE, DO NOT SUBMERGE THE DETECTOR IN
WATER. WATER CAN AFFECT THE SENSOR, CAUSING PERMANENT
DAMAGE.
DO NOT SPRAY CLEANING CHEMICALS OR INSECT SPRAYS DIRECTLY ON
OR NEAR THE DETECTOR. DO NOT PAINT OVER THE DETECTOR. DOING
SO MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
a. PAD100-PHD, PAD100-HD and PAD100-CD: When cleaning is needed, clean
cover using a soft cloth.
DO NOT vacuum or use compressed air, water, cleaners or solvents to clean
the detector.
DO NOT disassemble the detector to clean.
If the detector is not operating properly after cleaning, replace detector.
b. PAD100-PD: When cleaning is needed, follow the below steps to remove dust
on the detector
