Chapter 3: Commissioning
32 LaserSense 100 Aspirating Smoke Detector Installers Handbook
Introduction
This chapter covers the commissioning procedures for the detector.
Commissioning strategy initially depends upon the environment in which the
detector is installed. For instance, the test for a computer room (in a relatively
clean environment) would be very different from, say, a flour mill, with a high
level of airborne particulate content.
A widely accepted standard for computer rooms or EDP areas is British Standard
BS6266, equipment overheating at a stage well before combustion. To perform
the test electrically overload a 1
‑ m etre length of P
gauge for one minute using an appropriate power supply. The detector has two
minutes from the end of the wire burn to give an alarm indication.
For areas with higher levels of background particulate matter testing
methodology would be similar to that of standard point detectors.
Commissioning should only be done by trained technicians in accordance with
applicable standards.
Commissioning checklist
The following brief checklist allows quick setup of the detector. This procedure
will be adequate for most standard installations.
To commission the detector:
1. Before powering up the detector, visually check all cabling to ensure correct
connection. If wire identification is not immediately clear (e.g. by use of
different colored wires or wire identification sleeves), an electrical check
should be made.
Caution: Ensure that all wiring connections are checked prior to powering up
the detector. Incorrect wiring of the detector will cause permanent damage to
the detector.
2. Connect the detector to a PC and set the detector address on the DIP
switches and APIC board (if applicable). Refer to “Interfacing with fire alarm
panels” on page 21 and “Setting the detector address” on page 22” for more
information.
3. Power up the detector.
4. Ensure that all detectors in the network area are clear of troubles and alarms
(if applicable).
5. Launch either the Remote software or SenseNET program on the computer,
enter the access code, and then select the Function Settings window.
6. Verify that the time and date are correct on the Time and date tab.
7. Set an appropriate alarm factor, as shown in Table 4 on page 33, for the
protected environment on the Alarm levels and delays tab. The detector will
