7351J Very Intelligent Early Warning (VIEW) Laser Smoke Detector Technical Bulletin

Testing and Maintenance
Procedures
All detectors must be tested after installation and after periodic
maintenance. Testing methods must satisfy the Authority Having
Jurisdiction. Detectors offer maximum performance when they are tested
and maintained in compliance with NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code.
This section provides procedures for testing the 7351J smoke detector.
Before you begin testing:
1.
Notify the proper authorities that the system is undergoing
maintenance and is out of service temporarily.
2.
Disable specific system functions to prevent unwanted alarms.
Before you test each detector, verify that the green LEDs blink (indicating
SLC polling).
1.
If they do not blink, and LEDs on the other detectors and/or
addressable modules on the same SLC blink, check the following:
•
the connection between the SLC and the detector
•
the control panel’s program to verify that the detector is
programmed correctly
•
the SLC connections at the control panel
2.
If the LEDs on the detector still do not blink, return the detector to
Johnson Controls for service.
After you set a detector into alarm by one of the following test methods
and remove the alarm activating device from the detector, reset the system
at the control panel before testing additional detectors. However, if the
Walk Test function of the IFC control panel is being used, reset is
unnecessary.
When you complete maintenance and all subsequent testing, do the
following:
1.
Enable the system functions that you previously disabled.
2.
Notify the authorities that the system is again in normal service.
