Maintenance
Note: Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke detector
system is undergoing maintenance and will be out of service. Disable the zone or system
undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted alarms.
1.. Remove the detector cover by placing a small bladed screwdriver in the cover removal
slot and twisting it slightly until the cover can be turned counterclockwise for removal.
2. Remove the screen by pulling it straight out. Vacuum the screen thoroughly.
3. Clean the black vaned chamber piece by vacuuming or blowing out dust and particles.
4. To reinstall the screen, rotate the screen on the housing until it drops into the alignment
slots. Carefully push the screen onto the base, making sure it fits tightly to the chamber.
Replacement screens are available (order part number RS23).
5. Replace the cover by rotating it clockwise until it locks into place.
6. Reinstall the detector into the system, enable the system operation, and notify the proper
authorities that the system is back on line.
To keep your equipment in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer’s recommendations and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the
requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code, shall be followed. A
preventative maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer’s
representative. Though smoke detectors are designed for long life, they may fail at any time.
Any smoke detector, fire alarm equipment, or any component of that system which fails
shall be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
