3. Clean the screen thoroughly with a soft brush or vacu-

um. Replacement screens (RS14) are available.

4. Brush or vacuum the inside of the cover. The cover may 

then be blown out with clean, compressed air.  

5. Vacuum  the  sensing  chamber  before  using  clean, 

compressed  air  to  loosen  and  blow  out  any  remaining 
debris.   

6. Press the screen back into the cover.
7. Replace  the  detector  cover  onto  the  sensing  chamber. 

Rotate it clockwise to lock it into place. 

[7.3] Reinstallation

1. Reinstall the detector in its housing.
2. Restore system power. 
3. Perform Detector Check, Section [5.7].
4. Notify the proper authorities testing has been completed 

and the smoke detector system is back in operation.
