Detector slow
to respond
Check if the remote input is active, which
will reduce the sensitivity to 12.5%.
Check input 7 on the detector using a
multi-meter. Refer to the Install sheet
for the detector.
Unwanted ac-
tivations
Check the settings of the detector.
Repeat the processes above for the re-
moval of the different types of alarm.
Verify against the original settings, if
available.

Using SensTool as a record of commissioning
The SensTool software can form part of the handover package for a system. All of the testing for
each individual detector can be recorded complete with real time date & time stamps and the type
of alarm that was detected.
This is easily achieved by clearing the event log for the detector being commissioned, performing
the commissioning and then saving the event log file. The event log file will record the time and
date of the commissioning, the type of test (integration, test integration, shock, drill or temperature).
The file is saved as a .txt file and could be used to demonstrate that each detector was tested and
the method of testing applied.
Note that this event memory is only available in the GM760 and GM775 detectors.
