Troubleshooting
e. If your system is equipped with a Supprex-200 Fire Suppression System, do
not
open the filter door or proceed to the next step unless the necessary
staff are present to extinguish a fire if one has occurred inside the cabinet.
The Supprex-200 Suppression system utilizes intake and exhaust dampers to
prevent oxygen from entering the cabinet after shutdown and uses a clean
agent gas to suppress the fire for a limited amount of time to allow appropriate
emergency response staff to arrive to the event scene. The suppression agent
will not release unless the temperature in the cabinet has exceeded 383°F or a
direct flame has touched the Firetrace activation tubing that is installed around
the top of the filter cartridges.
f. Check filter cabinet of unit for fire/smoldering filters.
g. Have fire suppression equipment on hand in the event of a flare up.
h. If smoldering, quickly remove filters from cabinet and use water to extinguish
using appropriate protection equipment.
2. Clean and inspect unit for thermal damage, replacing filters if necessary, and power
unit back up.
It is important to note that not every smoke detector alarm is triggered
by a thermal event. Dust bypass will also cause a smoke detector shutdown and
could be occurring through a torn/damaged filter or damaged gasket on the filter
top pan.
3. Remove rear smoke detector inspection panel, use low PSI compressed air or
canned compressed air to blow off smoke detector.
4. If, when starting the unit back up, the smoke detector goes off again:
a. Remove filters
b. Inspect inside of filters for holes/perforations
c. Check sealing gaskets for nicks or cuts.
d. Re-install good filters / replace damaged filters, ensuring filters are level and
square and the clamping mechanism is locked securely in place.
e. Locate smoke detector, remove, and clean out with Low pSi compressed air,
repeat start up process.
f. You can also clean the smoke detector with water if it is exceptionally dirty.
i. Unplug the connector from the back of your smoke alarm. Remove the
battery.
ii. Select (3) standard size wash buckets and fill them each with one gallon of
normal tap water.
iii. Add 1/8 cup of dishwashing liquid to the first bucket of water and allow
it to mix thoroughly, then place on dirty smoke alarm into the soap water
mixture until it becomes completely covered or submerged.
