SECTION 3: MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1
Personnel
The following will aid in troubleshooting the Model SS4-AI Detector. Tests
must be performed by qualified authorized personnel observing standard
safety practices. Although the Model SS4-AI Detector operates on safe 24
volts DC, the FM/UL Approved Fire Alarm Panel's power supply may
operate on a dangerous 120 or 240 volts AC
WARNING:
Hazardous voltages may be present during testing
procedures. Serious injury or death may result if personnel fail to observe
safety precautions.
CAUTION:
Model SS4-AI Detector modules and its components
are susceptible to permanent damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Do
NOT
handle adequate grounding precautions. If the Module must
shipped back to the factory for repair, it MUST be packed in static
protected material. If static protected material is not available, carefully
wrap the Module in aluminum foil.
3.2
Cleaning Windowed Enclosures and Detectors
The optical windows on the Model SS4-AI Detector should be cleaned
periodically on a regular maintenance schedule. For clean applications,
this may be every month. However, for extremely dirty applications, such
as a truck filling station where black carboneous smoke can cover a nearby
Detector, a cleaning schedule of every day may be necessary.
Clean the windows on the Model SS4-AI Detectors whenever they are
handled, whenever the windows look dirty, or whenever the Model SS4-AI
Detector fails to pass an end-to-end test with a Handheld Tester.
Clean the Model SS4-AI Detector Module's Detectors whenever a Detector
has been disassembled for wiring or replacement. To prevent static
damage to the Detector Module’s electronics, remember to be grounded
whenever working with exposed Model SS4-AI Detector Modules.
Use a blast of an air hose or an oil-free cloth to clean the enclosure
window. Oil degrades the performance of UV detectors. Occasionally, the
use of a solvent such as alcohol may be required. No disassembly of the
Model SS4-AI Detector is required.
DO NOT USE SILICONE-BASED OR COMMERCIAL WINDOW
CLEANING PRODUCTS. THEY WILL DEGRADE THE M ODEL SS4-AI
DETECTOR PERFORM ANCE.
