Start Local Smoke Test
Perform a local smoke test to confirm correct operation of detector internal components. The test is manually initiated
from within the Xtralis VSC software. The detector will not perform normal smoke detection from the sampling tubes while
this test is in progress, and Fault 826 is generated.
To test:
Spray smoke into test ports with red plugs, located on the left side of the detector, and initiate the Start Local
Smoke Test command. To open the smoke test ports, push the black release button around the red plug with a
screwdriver while pulling the plug out. Ensure that the plugs are replaced when testing is complete.
While the Local Smoke Test is running:
the Scanning State indicator on the Detail Status tab will show that the test is
being performed. The Tube Start / End indicator on the Detail Status tab will show "Home".
To complete testing:
Execute the Stop Local Smoke Test command to complete the test.
Stop Local Smoke Test
End an in-progress local smoke test. Fault 826 will cleared.
Start Leak Test

Sampling Point Test
Test for the correct presence of a sampling point at the end of
the tube.
• The test is performed automatically every 24 hours at a
specified time
• Can be manually initiated from within the Xtralis VSC
software.
• Fault 824 will be generated if no Sampling Point is fitted or
the tube is fractured. If the Sampling Point is present, no
fault will be generated.
While the Sampling Point Test is running:
– The Scanning State indicator on the Detail Status tab will
show that the test is being performed.
