Functional Test
You can test the functioning of this detector using a test magnet
(M02-04-01). This magnet electronically simulates smoke in the sensing
chamber, testing the detector electronics and connections to the control
panel.
To test the detector, hold the test magnet in the magnet test area as
illustrated in Figure 3. If the detector is functioning properly, the
following occur:
•
Both LEDs latch on within 30 seconds, indicating an alarm.
•
The control panel registers an alarm from the detector.

Sensitivity Test
You may initiate a sensitivity test either manually or automatically by the
Intelligent Fire Controller panel, if the panel is designed and UL Listed to
perform such a test. To verify this, check the technical manual for the fire
alarm control panel
.
Smoke Entry Test
Use the Gemini Model 501 aerosol generator to test for smoke entry as
follows:
1.
Set the generator to represent 4% per ft to 5% per ft obscuration as
described in the manual for the Gemini 501 generator.
2.
Use the bowl-shaped applicator and apply aerosol until the detector
alarms. It should alarm after 30 seconds.
Smoke entry can also be simulated from the control panel.
