Table 1: RSR-100 Status Indications
Indication
Action
GOOD
The detector is within its sensitivity
range. No action is necessary at this
time.
SERVICE
The smoke detector’s sensing chamber
requires cleaning for continued reliable
operation. Refer to the SD-100 Series
installation and maintenance instructions
for proper maintenance procedures.
REPLACE The smoke detector failing and should be
replaced immediately.
NOTE:
When the batteries in the RSR-100 get low, the LCD
display will read “LOW BATT”. Once the low battery
condition is reached, the reader will no longer function.
Replace batteries to restore operation of the RSR-100.
The RSR-100 automatically turns off when not used after 8
minutes. To conserve the battery life of the Remote
Sensitivity Meter, it is recommended that the reader be
turned off when not in use. To turn off the meter, press and
hold the button for approximately 2 seconds until the reader
sounds.
Specifications
Power supply: two AA alkaline batteries
Operating Temperature: 0 to 37.8°C
Storage Temperature (without batteries): -15 to 60°C
Operating Humidity: 10 to 90% RH non-condensing or icing
WARNING
The Limitations of the RSR-100
The RSR-100 is designed to “... assure that each smoke detector is within its listed and marked sensitivity range ...” as
per NFPA 72. The RSR-100 CANNOT, however, initiate a detector/sensor alarm. Therefore, the meter meets only part
of NFPA 72 testing standards.
Slight fluctuations in readings may be experienced on any device at any given time and do not indicate a defect or
sensitivity shift, provided the reading is within the specified range. These fluctuations are to be expected. The RSR-100
and its associated smoke detectors/sensors contain electronic parts and, though they are designed to last over 10 years,
any of these components can fail at any time. Therefore, it is recommended to test your smoke detectors/sensors as per
NFPA 72 at least semiannually. Regular cleaning and testing of your fire detection system will measurably reduce your
product liability risks and minimize nuisance alarms.
