Replacing the Intelligent Filter
The detector constantly monitors the difference between the flow of filtered air and the flow of un-
filtered air into the manifold. The flow of filtered air decreases when compared to the flow of un-
filtered air as dirt and other particles accumulate in the Intelligent Filter. Although it is recommended
to replace the Intelligent Filter every two years, environmental conditions dictate the actual
frequency of Intelligent Filter replacement.
The detector displays a fault condition that requires replacement of the Intelligent Filter when the
flow of filtered air falls below the minimum threshold when compared to the flow of un-filtered air.

2. Remove the front cover. Refer to section 7.2 for further information.
3. Unclip the Intelligent Filter (A) by pulling the locking lever outward (B).
