Additional Information on the Smoke Detectors
8.1.
Test Button & Testing
As noted earlier do keep in mind that when testing the Smoke Detectors using real or canned smoke
do not press the "Test/Hush" button at least 10 minutes prior to this testing or the detector will not
be able to detect the smoke.
8.2.
Connecting via dry contact inputs
You can connect the RMS-DE-01 to the inputs on dry contacts expander “RAMOS ULTRA-EX-D8-8”
which is connected to RAMOS Ultra base units. The green "phoenix" type two pin dry contact
connector that is mounted on the Smoke Detectors converter box is used for this purpose.
However you do have to keep in mind that when the sensors are connected to the extra dry contacts
and not the RJ-45 sensors ports, if the 9Volt battery that powers the smoke detector runs out, then
you will not get the alerts from the unit. The reason for this is when connected to the RJ-45 ports, the
Smoke Detectors are powered by the unit and when connected to the dry contact inputs they are not
and only powered by the 9V battery.
8.3.
Cleaning and Problems with Smoke Detectors
As also mentioned earlier these sensors are not designed to be used in dusty or dirty environments. If
they must be, then they will need to be cleaned regularly.
The picture above clearly shows the dust build up inside the detectors optical chamber. You can see
the clear black plastic where we have wiped the dust off compared to the dusty surface.
