FCC STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular instal-
lation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Please refer to insert for the Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor
status. Coded signals, transmitted from the panel, can cause the LEDs
to blink, latch on, or latch off. Refer to the control panel technical docu-
mentation for sensor LED status operation and expected delay to alarm.
B. Smoke Entry: Aerosol Generator (Gemini 501)
The GEMINI model 501 aerosol generator can be used for smoke entry
testing. Set the generator to represent 4%/ft to 5%/ft obscuration as de-
scribed in the GEMINI 501 manual. Using the bowl shaped applicator,
apply aerosol until the panel alarms.
For FSC-851, smoke entry testing should be performed immediately fol-
lowing the magnet test. Magnet test initiates an approximately 10 minute
period when the detector’s signal processing software routines are not
active. Failure to first perform the magnet test will introduce a time delay
before the detector alarms.
C. Direct Heat Method (Hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts).
A hair dryer of 1000-1500 watts should be used to test the thermistors. Di-
rect the heat toward either of the two thermistors, holding the heat source
approximately 12 inches from the detector in order to avoid damaging
the plastic housing. The detector will reset only after it has had sufficient
time to cool. Make sure both thermistors are tested individually.
A sensor that fails any of these tests should be cleaned as described under
CLEANING, and retested. If the sensor fails after cleaning, it must be replaced
and returned for repair.
When testing is complete, restore the system to normal operation and notify
the proper authorities that the system is back in operation.

CLEANING
Before removing the detector, notify the proper authorities that the smoke
detector system is undergoing maintenance and will be temporarily out of
service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent unwanted
alarms.
1. Remove the sensor to be cleaned from the system.
2. Remove the sensor cover. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to gently
release each of the four cover removal tabs that hold the cover place. Use
caution to avoid damaging the thermistors and other sensors
3. Carefully vacuum the outside of the anti insect screen without removing
it from the detector cover.
4. The chamber cover, CO and IR sensors may be removed as a single as-
sembly. Gently pull the assembly away from the sensing chamber being
careful neither to damage the thermistors, the IR / CO sensor PCB nor to
strain the connector cable to the PCB, then gently folded away from the
optical chamber.
5. Use a vacuum cleaner and/or clean compressed air to remove dust and
debris from the sensing chamber and sensing chamber cover.
6. Re-install the sensing chamber cover assembly by sliding the cover over
the chamber, gently pressing it home until it snaps into place.
7. Re-install the sensor cover. Use the cover removal tabs, LEDs and therm-
istors to align the cover with the sensor. Snap the cover into place.
8. When all sensors have been cleaned and re-installed, restore power to
the loop and test the sensor(s) as described under TESTING.
After completion of maintenance and testing, notify the proper authorities
that the system is operational.

CO SENSOR LIFETIME
The CO cell has an expected lifetime of approximately six years. The detector
is programmed to signal the approach of end of this lifetime to the control
panel. The CO cell is not a field replaceable component and on failure, you
should contact the system supplier to arrange for replacement of the cell.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING SMOKE DETECTOR GUARDS
Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combina-
tion has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
