TESTING

Before testing, notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing 

maintenance, and will temporarily be out of service. Disable the system to 

prevent unwanted alarms.
All sensors must be tested after installation and periodically thereafter. Test-

ing methods must satisfy the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors 

offer maximum performance when tested and maintained in compliance with 

NFPA 72. 
The sensor can be tested in the following ways:

A.  Functional: Magnet Test (P/N M02-04-01 or M02-09-00) 

 

 This sensor can be functionally tested with a test magnet. The test magnet 

electronically simulates smoke in the sensing chamber, testing the sensor 

electronics and connections to the control panel.

 

1.   Hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as shown in Figure 3.

 

2.  The sensor should alarm the panel.

   Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor 

status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs to 

blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical documen-

tation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm.

B.  Smoke Entry

 

 Sensitivity readings are available through the FACP. Refer to the manufac-

turer’s published instructions for proper use.

 

 Additionally, canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) may 

be used for smoke entry testing of the smoke detector. Tested and ap-

proved aerosol smoke products are:

Manufacturer

Model

HSI Fire & Safety

25S, 30S (PURCHECK)

SDi

SMOKE CENTURIAN, SOLOA4, 

SMOKESABRE, TRUTEST

No Climb

TESTIFIRE 2000

 

 When used properly, the canned smoke agent will cause the smoke detec-

tor to go into alarm. Refer to the manufacturer’s published instructions for 

proper use of the canned smoke agent.

CAUTION

Canned aerosol simulated smoke (canned smoke agent) formulas will vary  

by manufacturer. Misuse or overuse of these products may have long term  

adverse effects on the smoke detector. Consult the canned smoke agent manu-

facturer’s published instructions for any further warnings or caution statements.

A sensor that fails any of these tests may need to be cleaned as described 

under CLEANING, and retested. 
When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify 

the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

CLEANING

Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke 

detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of 

service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent un-

wanted alarms.
1.  Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2.   Remove the sensor cover by pressing firmly on each of the four removal 

tabs that hold the cover in place. (See Figure 4.) 

3.   Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning is 

required continue with Step 4, otherwise skip to Step 7.

4.   Remove the chamber cover/screen assembly by pulling it straight out.
5.   Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air to remove dust and debris from 

the sensing chamber.

6.   Reinstall the chamber cover/screen assembly by sliding the edge over the 

sensing chamber. Turn until it is firmly in place.

7.   Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently push-

ing it until it locks into place. 

8.  Reinstall the detector.
9.  Test the detector as described in TESTING.
10. Reconnect disabled circuits.
11. Notify the proper authorities that the system is back on line.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING SMOKE DETECTOR GUARDS

Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combina-

tion has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

SPECIAL APPLICATION

When configured at the fire alarm control panel, this detector is capable of op-

erating in a special application mode such that it has a higher sensitivity than 

is normally allowed by UL 268 for areas where early warning is important. In 

this mode, the detector does not comply with the Cooking Nuisance Smoke 

Test. Detectors (Sampling ports) set to the special application mode are not 

suitable for use in areas where cooking appliances may be used. If cooking 

appliances are used within the protected space, a normal application detector 

or normal application mode must be used for that area.
Special application mode is not for general use and the detector may be more 

prone to false alarms if used in unsuitable environments. While no list is 

all-inclusive, some examples of unsuitable environments for special applica-

tion mode are areas with airborne particulate or aerosols including sawing, 

drilling, and grinding operations, textile or agricultural processing, or areas 

with engines that are not vented to the outside. A complete list of aerosol and 

particulate sources is available in the Annex of NFPA 72. 
Suitable environments for special application mode could include early warn-

ing for hospitals, museums, assisted living and other areas that do not have 

airborne particulate or aerosols.
Refer to the fire alarm control panel documentation for information on how to 

configure the detector for special application mode.

FCC STATEMENT

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE:

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
